Vivo's Apex 2020 concept phone packs gimbal-enabled stabilization, and it looks like the Chinese brand is bringing this radical camera tech to a production device.
Vivo has posted several teasers on its Weibo account (h/t: The Verge), touting gimbal-style image stabilization. One video shows the phone's camera lens moving around, capturing steady video and blur-free photos. Check it out below.
The above clip also gives us a better look at the Vivo X50 camera housing, showing a square-shaped fourth camera that's presumably a periscope lens. So you can likely expect the phone to offer improved long-range zoom as well.
Another teaser video posted by Vivo suggests that gimbal-style stabilization will enable better low-light shots. Presumably the improved stabilization allows the phone shutter to stay open even longer than traditional optical image stabilization. Check out that clip below.
It's also worth noting that Vivo is calling it the X50 series rather than a single device, so we'll likely see more than one X50 device. But it remains to be seen whether gimbal stabilization will come to all phones in the family.
We don't know much else about the Vivo X50 series, but a company executive was spotted talking about the newly announced 50MP Samsung Isocell GN1 sensor. This doesn't necessarily mean the 50MP sensor will appear in the X50 series, but it certainly seems like the firm plans to use it in some form.
The Vivo X50 series will be unveiled on June 1, so we'll find out more about the devices and what you can do with gimbal-style stabilization then. But we're glad to see tech from the Apex 2020 concept phone find its way into a commercial device.
