hina-based tech company Vivo is slated to release a new smartphone line that offers a newly designed front camera equipped with "the highest photo resolution in the world", complemented by a “soft light” feature that may play a significant role in capturing the best selfies.
Vivo V5 is equipped with a 20 megapixel front camera that boasts the ability to illuminate users’ selfies with emulated “natural” lighting that distinguishes the usual harsh white light leaks that regular flashes give out. It also features Face Beauty Mode 6.0, which is dedicated to enhance selfie results.
