Host Yca Bascon asks Anjo Damiles why he loves Vivo and he shares how Vivo helps him keeps moments cherished through perfect selfies. 

Just like they promised, top five premium smartphone brand Vivo brought the best smartphone experience to selfie enthusiasts and prospective customers when it held a mall show at SM Megamall and SM Bicutan last May 7.

At the event, Vivo showcased its perfect selfie line—the V5 lite, V5, and the brand’s flagship phone, the V5 Plus, all touted as front camera-focused phones equipped with advanced selfie technology. The Vivo V5 Plus, in fact, features the world’s first 20-megapixel dual front camera.

Selfie lovers in SM Megamall Main Event Center were entertained by an energetic dance number by Hashtag dance group member Mccoy de Leon, one of Vivo’s key opinion leaders. Star Magic model-turned-actor Anjo Damiles regaled selfie enthusiasts at SM Bicutan with song numbers. 

Event hosts Josemaria Tantuico Palabyab for SM Megamall and Vivo club’s Yca Bascon for SM Bicutan cranked up the fun factor as they asked guests and key opinion leaders to describe their perfect selfie experience. 

“Thankful ako sa Vivo, kasi I can now treasure memories through perfect selfies in the best way. Lalo na sa V5 Plus, na may iba’t ibang selfie features like bokeh, selfie softlight, and face beauty mode 6.0,” de Leon said. 

Vivo later raffled off one Vivo V5 Plus unit each at the SM Megamall and SM Bicutan shows, drawing two very happy winners.

De Leon, one of Vivo’s key opinion leaders, is thrilled about meeting Vivo fans, and sharing with Filipinos nationwide what the brand is all about. “Gusto ko syempreng makilala at mapasaya ang mga Vivo consumers, and this mall tour is a way of bringing them happiness. Masaya rin ako na ibahagi pa sa mas maraming tao kung ano ang Vivo, at kung gaano kaganda ang smartphones ng brand.” 

A V5 Plus user, Mccoy de Leon has been posting—on social media—his perfect selfies and other images taken with his Vivo phone. 

According to Vivo Philippines, the Megamall mall tour, the first of a series that will run for four months, is aimed at entertaining smartphone users and introducing the brand to prospective customers. The series of events naturally follow Vivo’s successful launches of its perfect selfie phones—the V5, V5 Plus and V5 Lite—which expectedly captured the hearts of legions of selfie lovers. 

Launched early this year, the V5 Plus, Vivo’s flagship phone, wields the world’s first 20-megapixel dual front camera. 

Featuring advanced selfie technology, the V5 Plus offers unique selfie features: the bokeh effect, a tool that creatively blurs the background of a selfie, keeping the subject in focus; the face beauty mode 6.0, a ‘skincare’ tool that corrects blemishes and enhances the subject’s skin tone; and the selfie softlight, an enhanced front camera flash that enables users to take selfies even in poor lighting conditions.

After the initial foray into SM Megamall and SM Bicutan, Vivo will also visit the following malls this May: SM Taytay, SM Sta. Mesa, SM Masinag and Eastwood City.

Tweet

Be creative and spontaneous when taking summer selfies with top five global brand Vivo’s flagship phone, the V5 Plus. 

With summer well underway, fun seekers are heading to the beach for some sun, sea, and surf, while others opt for cooler climes to find relief from the sweltering heat. Wherever your itinerary takes you, you will totally want to document every single “instagrammable” moment with perfectly captured selfies. 

So ask yourself now: how do you take summer selfies worthy of your friends’ likes and insta-hearts? 

Vivo V5 Plus’ face beauty mode 6.0 can enhance your skin tone, creating a natural, radiant-looking selfie perfect for the summer. 

Here, top five premium global brand1 Vivo shares all the tips you need for binge-taking perfect summer selfies:

• Take your summer selfie game to the next level with the V5 Plus. It’s your go-to smartphone camera for shooting all the stunning vistas, enabling you to capture every single detail clearly—thanks to the V5 Plus’ 20-megapixel dual front camera and advanced selfie technology. 
• Be creative and spontaneous. Whether you’re into aqua sports or chilling out with friends at a poolside, be playful, silly, goofy, sexy or alluring when taking those share-worthy selfies.

• Find your “perfect” angle. Hone your selfie skills by practicing at home. Take lots of selfies until you learn what angle suits you best. 

To take Instagram-worthy selfies this summer, use the Vivo V5 Plus, with advanced selfie features that can make you look your best in every photo. 

• Choose the best backgrounds. Distant hills and mountains, the sparkling sea, lush foliage, and the striking colors of a sunset are some of the most amazing backgrounds for those perfect summer selfies. But even without these elements, the V5 Plus’ ‘bokeh’ effect will beautifully blur a less-than-pretty background while keeping the subjects in focus.

• Use a selfie stick. Take fun groufies of the family or barkada with a selfie stick, a pole-like device with a grip at the end, designed to hold a smartphone when taking selfies. A selfie stick is indispensable at events like summer beach weddings, launch parties, sports activities, etc.

• Look your best. You must play up your best features for the perfect summer selfie. Fortunately, you’ll get a lot of help from Vivo V5 Plus’ face beauty mode 6.0, which enhances your skin tone and makes you look fresh and pretty even without a filter or edit.

• Check your lighting. Taking group selfies while enjoying summer’s night scenes can be a pain—but not with the V5 Plus’ softlight selfie, which allows you to take clear selfies in any lighting condition.

Be creative and spontaneous when taking summer selfies with top five global brand Vivo’s flagship phone, the V5 Plus.

• Have fun! Summer is all about making new friends, fortifying bonds, and creating happy memories. Your summer selfies should chronicle all those wonderful moments for times when things don’t go the way they should and you need something to lift your spirits and put a smile on your face. 

The Vivo V5 Plus, equipped with the world’s first 20-megapixel dual front camera, can take perfect summer selfies this sunny season. 

So do it the right and easy way—with the Vivo V5 Plus perfect selfie phone.

Get that perfect artsy selfie with the Vivo V5 Plus’ bokeh effect

Tweet

Selfies can now have the aesthetic bokeh effect of the Vivo V5 Plus, with the details of the selfie sharp and clear, and the background blurred beautifully.

In this age of selfies, netizens enthusiastically take self-shots with camera-focused phones and continually seek ways of enhancing these through filters and editing—deemed essential for creating beautiful, share-worthy selfies. 

Now comes Vivo V5 Plus from top five premium global brand1 Vivo. Called the perfect selfie phone, it is equipped with the world’s first dual front camera, which helps you shoot artsy selfies with ease. 

The perfect selfie phone features a primary 20-megapixel Sony IMX376 dual front camera and a secondary camera at 8 megapixels, which collects depth-of-field information. 

Because of its dual front camera, the Vivo V5 Plus is able to create a true “bokeh” effect. 

Bokeh, favored by photography- and selfie enthusiasts, is the aesthetic quality produced when out-of-focus parts of an image are blurred.

You can now take selfies anywhere with the Vivo V5 Plus’ bokeh effect, able to blur any background creatively. 

The term “bokeh” is of Japanese origin, from the word “boke,” which means blur or haze. Creating a “good” bokeh—or a blur that is pleasing to the eye—is tough. In the past, the technique required the use of an advanced digital camera with special lens, according to photography website photographylife.com. 

Smartphone-camera-wielding selfie enthusiasts eventually resorted to editing for adding a beautiful blur effect to photos.

With the Vivo V5 Plus perfect selfie phone now rocking the selfie generation, producing a good bokeh effect in your selfies and other photos is as easy as a single tap on the capture button. 

With its dual front camera, the Vivo V5 Plus can perfect the bokeh effect, the art of blurring the background of a photo artistically. 

Vivo V5 Plus’ bokeh effect will soon be a highly covetable feature. At least 200 engineers from Vivo and its partner organizations spent eight months studying the algorithm behind blurring effects to develop a highly accurate algorithm ideal for portrait shots. This defines objects in such a way that the details in focus are artfully separated from the background. 

The Vivo V5 Plus from top five premium global brand Vivo is equipped with a 20-megapixel dual front camera co-engineered with Sony, able to produce the best possible selfies to date. 

The Vivo engineers also did research on the blurring effects of 96 types of large aperture SLR camera lenses and simulated each of these lenses in the algorithm of the Vivo V5 Plus dual front cameras. Then special enhancements were added to achieve good results in various lighting situations.

With Vivo’s research and development centers, the brand continually studies and improves selfie technology and other smartphone aspects. In fact, in its effort to improve smartphone technologies for its consumers, Vivo has two new research centers in California—one in Silicon Valley and another in San Diego.

Now, with Vivo V5 Plus’ advanced selfie technology, your artsy selfies will look like they were captured by a professional photographer.
