Vivo had just recently launch their latest V series, the Vivo V19 on 27th June.

This amazing looking phone brings together extraordinary selfie capabilities, cutting-edge technology, and elegant fashion to deliver a truly innovative mobile experience for consumers.

vivo is committed to innovating with the consumer in mind, and V19 reflects our deep understanding of our customers’ needs. With industry-leading selfie technology, beautiful design, and strong performance, V19 is perfect for young, fashion-forward consumers who value camera and entertainment features. - said Messi Liu Hong Bin, CEO of vivo Singapore

What does it comes with?

Cutting-Edge Camera Technology Enables Beautiful Selfies

Equipped with a dual front-facing camera with 32MP main camera and an 8MP super wide-angle camera that helps user to capture the perfect selfie no matter the time or the place. A large group selfie wouldn't be an issue anymore since you got that awesome wide camera in front now.

Video lovers wouldn't be disappointed because it has the Ultra Stable selfie video that brings a whole new level of stability to your wide-angle selfie videos. (Vlogger take note!)

Apart from the awesome front-facing camera, the back is equipped with a powerful AI Quad Camera, with a 48MP main camera, 8MP wide-angle camera, 2MP Macro camera, and 2MP bokeh camera. Along with the ultra-stable video, V19 is packed with AI Image/Video filters, AI Video editor and AI image matting for professional yet easy editing.

Both the front and rear cameras are equipped with special modes to capture stunning photos at night. The front camera’s Super Night Selfie mode—with Layer-Based Beautification, Spatial Merging Denoising, and Multiple Exposure—allows users to take clear and beautiful selfies against the backdrop of a city skyline at night or the countryside’s starry sky.

With the rear camera’s Super Night Portrait mode—with Multi-Frame Screening, Temporal Alignment, and Spatial Merging Denoising—users can capture high-resolution photos of all of life’s moments, even at night.

Innovative Display and Design for a Distinctive Style

V19 features a sleek 6.44-inch Super AMOLED FHD+ Ultra O Screen, built from superior E3 OLED, and supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, which makes vibrant colors come to life. The display’s brightness auto-adjusts to suit ambient light levels and filters 42 percent more blue light than E2 OLED, creating a healthier user experience.

V19 is crafted for both comfort and style, reinforcing vivo’s commitment to user-centric design. With ergonomically designed 3D curves, V19 fits users’ palms to perfection, while the Corning Gorilla Glass 6 offers elegance and sophistication.

I think you have to see it in person to really feel how well it fits in your hand.

Strong Performance Empowers All-Day Usage for Fast-Moving Consumers

In addition to industry-leading selfie capabilities and sleek design, V19 has elite performance and high battery efficiency. A super capacity 4500mAh battery provides long-lasting durability, while 33W vivo FlashCharge 2.0 technology enables a 0 to 54 percent charge in just 30 minutes, offering convenience for busy, fast-moving consumers.

Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor, V19 has a fast interface and top computing performance. To support the high energy consumption of its AI-powered camera capabilities, V19 is built with copper tube liquid cooling, which guarantees longer CPU life, more reliable phone performance, and smooth multitasking. V19 is equipped with 8GB RAM + 128GB ROM, providing ample space for users to store everything they need for work, rest, and play.

V19 also delivers an advanced gaming experience, featuring Multi-Turbo 3.0 for optimizing touch control and FPS stability, as well as an Ultra Game Mode with functions like Fast Screen Capture, Screen Recording, and Game Vibration.

V19 in Gleam Black and Sleek Silver will be available in Singapore on 27 June for $599 (without contract) through M1, Singtel, StarHub and Lazada, Shopee and Qoo10.
