Self-developed innovative technology leads the development of mobile imaging.

On May 21st, vivo held the "New Blueprint Imaging X Series Technology Communication Conference," and Leitech was invited to participate in this event, witnessing the arrival of Blueprint Imaging together with vivo.

Today, imaging has become an indispensible topic for mobile phone brands, and each manufacturer has provided different solutions to the proposition of how to shape mobile imaging. vivo's imaging has always been an open and inclusive system, whose mission is to create more user-friendly professional imaging for users, which is one of the core concepts of the Blueprint Imaging brand.

Over the past four years, vivo has collaborated with Zeiss to create the "vivo ZEISS Joint Imaging System," introducing joint innovation projects such as Zeiss optical lenses, Zeiss T* coating, Zeiss APO chromatic aberration control standards, and Zeiss natural color, making vivo's imaging experience simpler in the professional field and more specialized in terms of ease of use. With the establishment of Blueprint Imaging, vivo will continue to work hand in hand with Zeiss to create more excellent imaging experiences that benefit users in the future.

At the hardware level, Blueprint Imaging consists of V-series imaging chips, jointly developed sensors, and fully self-developed core algorithms. The V-series imaging chip made its debut on the vivo X70 series, creating more high-quality photography experiences with stronger computing power. On the X100 Ultra, the main camera and telephoto lens are from LYT-900 and HP9 sensors jointly developed by vivo, Sony, and Samsung, respectively. They not only have industry-leading hardware specifications but also provide more computational possibilities for vivo's imaging.

When it comes to vivo's imaging, it's natural to mention "VCS Vivid Color Spectrum Technology," a technology that improves the Color Filter to make the raw image information received by the image sensor from the "front end" as close as possible to the human eye. It is applied to the LYT-900 and HP9 sensors of the X100 Ultra, making the color accuracy of the images reach a professional level. At the communication conference, vivo showed the color accuracy performance of the X100 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max samples, with the former becoming one of the best smartphones in terms of color accuracy with an overwhelming victory.

Moreover, Blueprint Imaging has provided a lot of support for vivo's signature "Portrait Mode." vivo is one of the earliest brands in the industry to participate in the development of mobile imaging portrait mode. Over the years of technological research and development, it has gradually understood users' needs for portrait photography. For example, the X100 series is equipped with the "Nano-level Skin Refreshing and Shaping Technology" for the first time, which uses large model data recording and analysis to optimize the skin texture of the subject while preserving and restoring skin details, making portrait photography look natural and realistic.

Or considering that users' demand for "casual photography" is gradually increasing, vivo launched the "Humanistic Street Photography" mode in the X100s series for the first time, along with the fourth tone—black and white—in addition to texture, vividness, and Zeiss natural color, helping users better capture street photography. It is worth mentioning that the vivo X100 Ultra has a 14-bit color depth and has made sufficient optimizations for grayscale continuity, making its black and white tone images more natural, realistic, and smooth.

The reason why the vivo X100 Ultra can be called the imaging "Thanos" is not only because of its excellent performance in photos but also in video recording. The LYT-900 equipped on the X100 Ultra, combined with VCS bionic spectrum technology and professional algorithms, makes it the most stable 1-inch main camera lens in terms of anti-shake performance in the industry. At the communication conference, vivo released a comparison with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, which is known as the king of video recording. During night video recording, vivo clearly outperforms.

Moreover, thanks to the brand-new 200-megapixel HP9 large-base sensor with an 85mm focal length, the vivo X100 Ultra also boasts powerful telephoto video recording and cinematic portrait performance, enabling it to create films with a near-official photography quality even in scenarios with severe stage lighting pollution such as concerts.

This communication conference is actually a supplement to the imaging technology of vivo's new product launch this month, deeply analyzing the technical details and underlying logic behind Blueprint Imaging, helping users better understand the source of vivo's imaging strength. Over the years, vivo's imaging has grown through deep cooperation with excellent partners such as Zeiss, Sony, Samsung, OmniVision, MediaTek, and Qualcomm, driving vivo's progress in imaging and making vivo a leader in the industry in terms of portrait, tone, color, and other aspects. In the future, vivo will continue to maintain this advantage, consistently making imaging one of vivo's core concepts and building a broad technological moat through independent research and development.
