The vivo V25 Professional has the higher {hardware} of the 2 – this implies higher cameras back and front, but in addition a extra highly effective Dimensity 1300 chipset to do the picture processing. This can be a slight refresh of the 1200 chip that powered the V23 Professional.
Nonetheless, the V23 Professional had a really completely different digital camera configuration than the V25 Professional, so this isn’t a sequel, it’s extra of a associated telephone in the identical collection. Let’s have a better look.
The vivo V25 Professional has a 64MP major digital camera on the again, based mostly on the ISOCELL Brilliant GW1, a 1/1.72” sensor with 0.8µm pixels (earlier than binning). This digital camera has OIS and EIS stabilization and might file 4K video at 30fps. Processing performs a key half, so the brand new Professional comes with Tremendous Night time Mode (pictures) and Tremendous Night time Video Mode.

Anyway, flipping over to the entrance is a single 32MP selfie digital camera (punch gap) that’s based mostly on the Samsung GD2 sensor (1/2.8”, 0.8µm). Not like most telephones on this class, this one has autofocus on the front-facing digital camera, plus an Eye AF characteristic. This ensures that the main target level is in your eye at the same time as you progress round freely.

In fact, the vivo V25 Professional doesn’t compete solely towards the Professional from earlier this yr, it’s also up towards the brand new V25.

That notch doesn’t assist both and whereas the digital camera inside advertises a better decision of 50MP, it homes a smaller sensor (nonetheless with Eye AF, although). The principle module within the rear digital camera additionally 64MP sensor (however it’s smaller) and OIS.
