Global smartphone brand, vivo, recognizes the importance of light in studio-level portrait photography in today's digital age.
With that, vivo set a new benchmark with Aura Light 3.0, which debuted in the V30 Series. It offered users unparalleled capabilities for capturing stunning portraits in any lighting condition.
Evolution of Aura Light
The journey of Aura Light began with the introduction of the vivo V27 Series in March 2023, marking a significant leap forward in portrait photography. With a pioneering combination of hardware and software enhancements, the Aura Light Portrait System revolutionized low-light photography, bringing studio-level lighting effects to mobile devices for the first time.
In September 2023, vivo further elevated the Aura Light experience with the launch of the V29 Series, featuring the enhanced Aura Light 2.0. This advanced system boasted a larger light-emitting area and smart color temperature adjustment, enabling users to capture HD natural portraits with unmatched clarity and atmosphere.
Now, in March 2024, vivo proudly introduced the next evolution of Aura Light technology with Aura Light 3.0 in the V30 Series. With a light-emitting area 19 times larger and 50 times softer than a standard flash, the Aura Light 3.0 ensures clarity and detail in every shot, setting a new standard for portrait photography.
Aura Light 3.0 Enhancements
A standout feature of the V30 Series is its Distance-Sensitive Lighting, intelligently adjusting the brightness of the Aura Light 3.0 based on the subject's distance. This ensures optimal lighting conditions regardless of shooting distance, guaranteeing high-quality photos every time.

Furthermore, the Smart Color Temperature Adjustment feature on the V30 Series ensures that the color temperature aligns perfectly with the environment, providing natural and harmonious colors in every portrait shot.

As vivo made a lot more changes to the design and features of the all-new V30 Pro. Now, V30 Pro is the popular smartphone in the mid-range segment, vivo partnered with ZEISS. It features design simple and beautiful, great cameras, and the new Aura Light 3.0 system.
Design and Features
The Vivo V30 Pro is a stylish phone in a slim and lightweight package measuring 164.36 × 75.1 × 7.45mm in dimensions and weighing 188 grams.
Vivo has teamed up with ZEISS to optimize colors and picture quality. The phone also features a decently powerful MediaTek processor, up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage, a big and bright display, a 5,000mAh battery, 80W fast wired charging, and more.
The phone’s frame is made of plastic and comes with a glossy finish. vivo says the V30 Pro features a cushioning structure on the underside of its corners for better protection during hard falls. The frame has recessed top and bottom edges. Inscribed at the top edge “PROFESSIONAL PORTRAIT” which tells you how much vivo is betting on the dedicated portrait camera.
There is a microphone hole at the top, and at the bottom edge holds the SIM card tray, USB-C port, microphone, and a speaker grille with circular multiple cutouts.
The other “square” below the camera housing, is the Aura Light system to work with especially at night andmaking it easier to light up dark areas.
vivo V30 Pro is the impressive cameras that offers a triple camera setup and partnered with ZEISS to produce exceptional portrait photography. The first lens is a 50MP main camera with an f/1.88 aperture using a 1/1.49-inch Sony IMX920 sensor. It also has Optical Image Stablization (OIS).
vivo named its main camera as “VCS True Color Main Camera”, the VCS stands for vivo Camera-Bionic Spectrum a new photo and color enhancement technology.
There are other shooting modes you can switch to, with Portrait mode perhaps being the most interesting – it’s certainly one of the most extensive portrait modes I’ve seen on a phone.
vivo V30 Pro carries three 50MP cameras on the back (main + ultra-wide + portrait), which promise reliable performance in different lighting conditions. The triple cameras get complimented by an in-built ring light - Smart Aura, and can be highly versatile in super dim environments. There’s a 50MP front camera as well that gets some native features and filters to up your selfie game.
the V30 Pro marks the debut of Zeiss-tuned cameras in a Vivo smartphone beyond its premium X-series. Portrait enthusiasts may appreciate the special filters offered by vivo and Zeiss, adding an element of fun to photography. Additionally, content creators can explore features like Micro Movie, which provides preset templates perfect for crafting quick Instagram Reels. Great shooting modes include video options, time-lapse, high-resolution, panorama and a Pro mode. With the Pro mode you can adjust options such as shutter speed, white balance, AF and so on, and you can also shoot in raw format. The three different colour options are Vivid, Textured and Natural .
The colors are bright and vibrant, making for an immersive viewing experience when watching high-quality content. Vivo offers three built-in color profiles (Standard, Pro, and Bright) with manual controls over the color temperature. This gives you the flexibility to adjust screen colors according to your preference.
The vivo V30 Pro’s screen gets adequately bright depending on the lighting conditions.
It is very much legible under direct sunlight. When indoors, the phone dynamically adjusts the screen brightness to make it easy on your eyes.
The vivo V30 Pro captures excellent photos in daylight conditions. The ZEISS Natural mode appears to produce the most true-to-life colors. vivo offers four bokeh styles inspired by ZEISS camera lenses: Biotar, Sonnar, Planar, and Distagon. You also get Cinematic Style Bokeh and cine-flare portrait modes. Non-portrait shots with the 2x zoom camera also come out excellent. Interestingly, the Vivo V30 Pro digitally zooms in with the main camera if you switch to 2x in the Photo mode.
Love the most interesting thing however is the “Aura” light, found on the back of the phone. This is a bit like a small ring light, and can be set to always on to constantly illuminate your subject. Not only that, but you can set it to different colour temperatures – or leave it in automatic mode. Again, it’s a fun thing to experiment with, especially if you especially like portraits.
There's a Food mode, found in the “More” tab.
