The cameras of Vivo smartphones undergo several tests during development to ensure clear photo and video quality.

Vivo researchers work together in developing the best cameras and effects for every Vivo smartphone.
According to the data from the IDC, a total of 1.47 billion smartphones were sold in 2016, the highest number of shipments on record and up by 2.3% from 2015.
