Less than a month ago, vivo announced their new flagship series: the vivo X70 series. The new flagship series is the first to come with vivo’s new in-house imaging processor, the V1 imaging processor. The new smartphone continues to push vivo’s aspirations of becoming the go-to brand when it comes to smartphone photography.

The vivo X70 series packs a custom MediaTek Dimensity 1200 which gives the phones 5G connectivity. It also comes with the lineup’s signature Gimbal Stabilization for its ZEISS co-engineered cameras. This time all the series’ cameras come with ZEISS T* coating which promises better photography performance. The series is also one of the first to feature extendable RAM technology.
The vivo X70 and X70 Pro both come with quad-camera setups which allow users to get the most out of their partnership with ZEISS. The smartphones come with multi-sensor setups for their cameras. The vivo X70 has a triple camera setup with a 40-megapixel main sensor paired with two 12-megapixel sensors. The X70 Pro on the other hand comes with a quad-camera setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor paired with two 12-megapixel sensors and an additional 8-megapixel sensor. You can get the full details in our coverage of its initial announcement.
Together with the X70, vivo also announced their new entries into their true wireless earbuds: the TWS 2e and TWS 2 ANC. As the name suggests, the TWS 2 ANC comes with active noise cancelling so you can tune out the world. The 2e is your regular run-of-the-mill true wireless earbuds. Both come with touch capabilities and have aptX compatibility.
