Vivo announces V15 Pro with no notch and 32-megapixel pop-up selfie camera

-


Vivo was one of the most head-turning companies in the smartphone space last year, delivering a series of devices with wild, experimental hardware. Now for Vivo’s first major launch of 2019 we have the V15 Pro, a new phone that sees high-end features trickle down to the mid-range mainstream from the company’s Nex flagships. It’s an unusual device without any direct competitors and a spec sheet that’s all over the place.

Lately Vivo’s V series has been a harbinger of screen design trends, with the V9 being one of the first Android phones with a notch and the V11 carrying what might still be the smallest notch yet. The V15, in turn, goes even further with a notchless 6.4-inch OLED display achieved by the reappearance of one of Vivo’s best tricks: the pop-up selfie camera from the original Nex.

This time around, though, that front-facing camera is a lot more formidable. It has a 32-megapixel sensor, which even at its pixel-binning 8-megapixel default setting marks a big improvement over the pokey 5-megapixel unit in the Nex. Around the back, meanwhile, there’s a three-camera array including a 48-megapixel main sensor (shooting 12-megapixel photos by default), an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera, and a 5-megapixel depth sensor.


The three rear cameras are arranged side by side in a section of the phone that also houses the pop-up selfie camera, and the result is one heck of a camera bump. I actually think it looks kind of cool to have so many cameras next to each other, though, and it doesn’t really break up the phone’s design.

ICOs are the new mecca of crowdfunding. But where do they house themselves? Apart from Ethereum, ICOs seem not to have any layman-oriented platform that offers a simple, user-friendly, and non-tech savvy launching solution.  BlockStarter  solves the problem by offering a simple platform where participants can create and market campaigns with ease.

Perfect for when you want to block out the overly chatty 'friends' you'd rather avoid.
