Camera Innovations

As per Digital Chat Station, Vivo has designed its ‘Ultra’ smartphone to include what they call the ‘brightest’ 200 MP telephoto camera in the industry. This camera is said to have an f/2.27 aperture and an 85 mm equivalent focal length. Interestingly, the sensor is reported to be the same ISOCELL HP9 that is found in the Xiaomi 15 Ultra and the X100 Ultra.
