Camera Setup and Video Features
Vivo is focusing on camera performance for the V70 series. Both models use Sony camera sensors developed in partnership with ZEISS. The company aims to deliver better colour control, detail capture, and stable video output.

Vivo has positioned this camera for use in low-light indoor and evening settings. The main rear camera also uses a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor with optical image stabilisation. The system supports 4K video recording at 60 frames per second and allows users to switch between 1x, 2x, and 3x zoom levels while recording.
