Offering a Complete Professional Photography Experience, vivo Redefines Mobile Photography with Flagship X50 Series

SHENZHEN, China, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — vivo today unveiled the X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+, the all-new vivo X50 series of flagship smartphones, which feature professional-grade camera technologies that revolutionize the mobile photography experience.

X50 series: stunning photography and sleek design
X50 series: stunning photography and sleek design

The X50 series is a realization of vivo’s commitment to user-centric design and innovation. Featuring cutting-edge stabilization, night mode, zoom, and portrait technologies, X50 series smartphones enable users to capture stable and high-quality images and videos in a wide range of scenarios, making every shot a masterpiece. The design of vivo’s X50 series draws from natural elements and futuristic aesthetics, aiming to complement the active lifestyles of consumers. With professional photography capabilities, stunning design, and smooth performance, the X50 series pushes the boundaries of high-end flagship smartphones.

"Guided by vivo’s deep insights into consumer needs, and underpinned by our advanced technology, we crafted the X50 series to provide a professional photography experience to our users. The X50 series’ stable shooting capabilities, outstanding lenses and sensors, and overall advanced camera system allow users to capture all of life’s stories with professional quality," said Spark Ni, Senior Vice President of vivo. "As the first X series products that will be made available to international markets, we are excited to share the best of our innovative technology and design concepts with people around the world."

Mobile Photography, Redefined

The X50 series integrates professional photography technologies. To reduce shaking, the main camera of X50 Pro is equipped with an industry-leading Gimbal Camera System, allowing users to take clear photos and videos while in motion, even at night. Modelled after a full-size professional gimbal, X50 Pro’s built-in gimbal module moves in the opposite direction of shaking motions, providing increased stability for the main camera. This system also widens the rotation angle and anti-shake area compared to popular stabilization methods, resulting in super clear images. The Gimbal Radar, an on-screen animated ball that reflects the gimbal’s movement, lets users know when the frame is stable. vivo’s motion-deblur algorithm, customized sensors, and continuous focus tracking further enhance image and video clarity.

The X50 series consists of true photography flagship smartphones. X50 Pro has a versatile camera setup with one front camera and four rear cameras. X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ both feature a periscope lens that supports 60x Hyper Zoom, and the main camera on X50 Pro+ features 1/1.3 inch ISOCELL GN1 sensor, leading to photos of breathtaking detail.

The X50 series features Super Night Mode and Astro Mode, which together enable users to capture stunning photographs of both city and country scenes at night, while Super Wide-Angle and Super Macro functions help create professional-quality photos in a wide range of scenarios. vivo’s Portrait Mode, powered by a 4-layer masking algorithm, allows users to separate the subject from the background and apply separate effects for a more refined result.

X50 Pro is equipped with a ground-breaking Gimbal Camera System, enabling ultra-stable photos

Sleek Performance and Design

In addition to its professional photography capabilities, the X50 series delivers overall flagship performance. The series supports 5G connectivity, allowing users to stay online with super fast speeds and low latency. Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865+X55 processor, X50 Pro+ provides fast computing speed and smooth multitasking capabilities. The series features a high screen refresh rate of 90/120Hz, displaying crisp images, movies, and games without smears or blurs.

Reflecting vivo’s design-driven innovation, X50 series smartphones are built with flexible screens, which are slimmer, lighter, and more durable than traditional screens. X50 is the slimmest 5G phone ever, measuring only 7.49mm thick. HDR 10+ technology delivers a bright and vivid display, and AG Frosting on the glass surface creates a soft and delicate touch. The Gimbal Camera System is also designed in the shape of an eye, serving as a unique design element on the rear of X50 Pro.

vivo TWS Earphone Neo Complement the X50 Series with Ultimate Audio

vivo is also launching the TWS Earphone Neo. Built to provide a high-quality audio experience that meets the needs of everyday music lovers, the wireless TWS Earphone Neo have a customized 14.2mm ultra-large driver unit, delivering a more powerful and full-bodied sound, as well as a bio-fiber composite diaphragm to enhance audio details. 

Designed with the needs of consumers in mind, TWS Earphone Neo also feature AI noise cancelling for clearer phone calls and several voice-activated smart controls. The earphones are powered by Qualcomm’s 4th-Generation TWS platform, the QCC3046, which offers low latency, high precision, and a stable listening experience, as well as the latest Bluetooth 5.2 technology with a maximum range of 10m. TWS Neo’s advanced features, along with its classic design and compact body, are a realization of vivo’s investments in Internet of Things devices.

Cellwize Lauded by Frost & Sullivan for its Cloud-based, AI open RAN automation platform, Chime

Cellwize’s automation platform successfully reduces the operator’s operating expenditure and the time-to-market of its 5G deployment and creates an open ecosystem for network deployments

SANTA CLARA, California, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Based on its recent analysis of the global radio access network (RAN) automation market, Frost & Sullivan recognizes Cellwize with the 2020 Global Product Line Strategy Leadership Award for its Chime platform. Cellwize has pushed the envelope by engineering a solution that is easy to integrate into a multi-vendor RAN environment, and which enhances the level of automation and management.

Cellwize
Cellwize

"Cellwize has expanded its focus from optimizing the RAN to managing and automating the RAN itself, including implementing automation principles across the heterogeneous network and application layers. This vision resulted in the development of its flagship RAN management and automation platform, Cellwize Chime," said Rohan Joy Thomas Industry Analyst. "Cellwize Chime utilizes AI and ML and is completely cloud-based and vendor-agnostic, has an open micro-services based architecture to address many key use cases, and is commercialized via flexible business models, including a pay-as-you-use model."

Cellwize forges unique partnerships with other technology firms, which allows it to customize its go-to-market strategy according to the region. For instance, one of its notable partners, Tech Mahindra, is recognized for its technology consultancy expertise in the global telecommunications industry. Cellwize has leveraged this partnership to build its go-to-market strategies that are custom to the technological maturity of both the network operator and the region in which the network operator is located. Similarly, its partnership with Deloitte helps network operators with change management, which is essential during the deployment phase of the automation stack as well as throughout the value realization path.

Significantly, Cellwize Chime has enhanced Artificial intelligence  and machine learning capabilities, which change the information collected from external sources into a unified and open data model and exposes that data to Cellwize’s open application programming interfaces (APIs). It then passes the information to the operator’s many different applications that are deployed on the legacy Radio Access Technologies such as 2G, 3G, 4G, and the upcoming 5G deployment. On average, the platform helps network operators save 60 percent of their OPEX, which would have otherwise been spent on getting the RAN operational.

"Cellwize Chime moves from a static radio network policy to one that is adaptive through an enhanced AI/ML-type of governance, which provides carriers with significant flexibility to avoid vendor lock-ins, without going to their incumbent vendor for solutions," noted Thomas. "In a multi-cloud environment that consists of edge compute and centralized clouds, Cellwize Chime can seamlessly integrate different components with each other across different environments."

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a comprehensive product line that caters to the breadth of the market it serves. The award recognizes the extent to which the product line meets customer base demands, and the overall impact it has in terms of customer value and increased market share.

Frost & Sullivan Best Practices awards recognize companies in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews, analysis, and extensive secondary research to identify best practices in the industry.

SHL Accelerates High-Quality Tech Hiring Through A New Remote, AI-Driven Solution

Increase your tech candidate pool and reduce time to hire through the rigorous science of SHL combined with the AI of Aspiring Minds

MINNEAPOLIS, June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — SHL, the market leader in talent innovation, today launched its Technology Hiring Solution to help customers automate and seamlessly scale the tech hiring process, all in a secure, remote environment that accounts for the current COVID-19 reality and beyond.

Attracting and hiring talent in the tech industry has never been more challenging. Traditional recruiting is not effective, as resumes and CVs alone are not a valid measure of skill and potential. Quality talent requires remote assessment, faster offers, and an engaging candidate experience.

In fact, today more than 90% of candidates for tech roles typically have multiple offers on the table. SHL’s new solution addresses this reality by cutting hiring time in half and increasing the candidate pool by 45% over traditional methods.

"Our Tech Hiring Solution offers the most valid and relevant assessment tools available to evaluate coding and technical skills, " said Jora Gill, SHL’s Chief Digital Officer. "We use artificial intelligence and data-driven insights to ensure you never miss out on the best tech talent, and your candidates enjoy an immersive and branded hiring experience."

SHL’s Tech Hiring Solution combines 40 years of assessment science with the innovative artificial intelligence of its recent acquisition, Aspiring Minds, to ensure the fastest and most efficient hiring for these highly sought-after roles.

The solution goes beyond what most coding simulations can produce, allowing employers to evaluate the candidate based on four rubric parameters – programming ability, programming practices, runtime complexity, and functional correctness. This provides visibility into the candidate’s skill level beyond the traditional pass-or-fail method.

"You may have a candidate who makes one keystroke error but is brilliant in every other way," said Himanshu Aggarwal, SHL Chief Growth Officer. "In a highly competitive market for technical skill, it is important to capture every eligible and gifted candidate there is — our solution makes that possible."
