As a brand, vivo has been known for its camera capabilities. In fact, the brand has also been quick to jump on the new trends, be it Pop-Up selfie shooter (with the vivo NEX) or 48-megapixel cameras (with the vivo V15 Pro). And the brand’s latest offering follows the same philosophy. The vivo Z1 Pro is a fully loaded mid-ranger which is the first smartphone in India with Snapdragon 712 processor. In this article, however, we’ll talk about the cameras of  Z1Pro as it brings forth impressive imaging capabilities. 

The specs

Before we take a look at the camera quality of vivo Z1 Pro, let’s discuss the configuration.

The shooters combine to offer versatile options, including backlight HDR, portrait bokeh, portrait light effects, AR stickers, slow motion, time-lapse photography, AI Beauty etc.

Another highlight of the Z1 Pro is the selfie shooter. The handset features a  32MP f/2.0 In-Display selfie camera at which is at the top-left corner of the display.

You get all the modes upfront, such as AI Beauty, Night, Pro, Video and even AR Stickers. There are also toggles for flash, HDR, and live photo, making it easier to access them.
