The vivo V40 Lite might be the most budget option in the V40 series, but it still packs plenty of power on its cameras and under the hood. Thanks to its AI Aura Light and hardware, you will be able to take decent photos without any effort. But here’s how it takes it up a notch when it comes to your portrait game.
You may have already seen vivo’s AI Aura Light floating around, but what is it? Essentially, it’s an LED flash on the vivo V40 Lite but on steroids. Aside from being stronger than your regular LED flash, it’s softer and is able to illuminate more of your subject.
It can also match the temperature or the “color” of the light. This means that regardless of the color of the light in the background, it can make your photos look more natural compared to your regular smartphone LED flash.
The best thing about the vivo V40 Lite’s AI Aura Light is that you don’t need to do anything. Once you turn it on, it will automatically match the temperature and the softness required in your photos. Of course, you can still manually adjust it if you want to explore more creative uses.
The vivo V40 Lite’s AI Aura Light complements its 50MP f/1.8 main camera. You’ll be able to get detailed photos with relative ease. Of course, you can further step up your photos by taking control of the camera thanks to its Pro mode.
There are times, however, that unwanted objects or people will be in the frame. Thanks to the V40 Lite’s AI Eraser, that won’t be a problem anymore. Just choose the photo you want to edit and circle the objects you want to remove.
Erasing isn’t the only editing tool that’s AI Powered. AI Photo Enhancement allows you to bring new life to old photos regardless of the source. Your photo may come from an old camera or a snap of a picture, vivo’s AI Photo Enhancement can fix them with their AI. You can even use photos taken by the V40 Lite to make them even better.
