Alden Richards shares favorite vivo V70 FE features

vivo Philippines introduced the vivo V70 FE at a launch event held April 11 at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium, featuring multi-awarded actor and brand ambassador Alden Richards, who shared how the device complements his active lifestyle.

Richards highlighted the smartphone’s 200MP OIS ultra-clear camera, noting its clarity and reliability even during movement. “Since ginamit ko yung vivo V70 FE, ang isa sa mga nagustuhan kong features niya ay the 200 megapixel (camera) feature. Sobrang linaw ng shots. Even when I'm moving, hindi ako nagwo-worry because it has optical image stabilization,” he said.

An endurance sports enthusiast, Richards said he often spends time outdoors running and cycling, where stable and high-quality imaging is essential. He added that the device’s camera allows him to take photos without concern, even while in motion.

During a Q&A segment with host Dani Mortel, Richards shared that he enjoys capturing scenery while cycling and observing nature. He also cited the phone’s zoom capabilities, recalling how he tested it on a statue in Pasig and found that image quality remained clear even when zoomed in. The vivo V70 FE features up to 85mm focal length in portrait mode and up to 30x zoom with AI telephoto enhancement.

Richards also underscored the importance of battery performance in his daily routine. “Sobrang panalo yun especially for me kasi I'm always on the go with different kinds of activities, so I'm always outside using my phone for navigation, music, messaging, calling, taking photos. The longevity of the phone is there to support my lifestyle. Kaya hindi ako nag aalala na malo-low batt siya agad,” he said, referring to the device’s 7000mAh BlueVolt battery paired with 90W FlashCharge.

In a “This or That” segment, Richards shared personal preferences, including early morning rides over late-night drives, nature views over city views, and spontaneity over planning. He also reflected on balancing living in the moment by capturing it through photos, especially with the newest vivo V70 FE.

200MP Portrait Master: realme Gives First Look at realme 16 Series 5G Ahead of its Local Launch

realme is set to launch the newest addition to its Number Series, the highly anticipated realme 16 Series 5G. With a focus on tactile materials, refined aesthetics, and upgraded portrait capabilities, this Series is set to be one of the most iconic lineups yet in the Number Series. 

Nature-inspired Design Aesthetics

At the core of the Series’ design update is the Urban Wild Design, created in collaboration with renowned Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa. The concept blends the raw, organic feel of nature with sleek urban aesthetics. 

Leading the lineup is the 16 Pro+ 5G in Master Gold – evoking a sunlit wheat field – followed by the 16 Pro 5G, which comes in Pebble Grey reminiscent of smooth river pebbles, with an Orchid Purple colorway rounding out the collection. The realme 16 Pro+ 5G features a bio-based silicone back panel derived from plant-based straw, offering a soft, polished texture that is both durable and resistant to dirt and wear. 

Moving to the standard realme 16 5G, realme has opted for a more minimalist "Air" aesthetic in White and Black. Interestingly, the base model ditches the Pro’s rounded square module for a horizontal camera strip, where the selfie mirror sits neatly beside the main camera. 

This attention to design detail extends beyond appearance, as the series also introduces advanced photography features that match its premium feel. 

200MP Portrait Master Takes Center Stage 

Beyond design, the realme 16 Pro Series 5G elevates smartphone photography with the 200MP Multi-focal Camera system. Apart from the 200MP OIS main, the realme 16 Pro+ 5G is equipped with a 50MP 3.5x telephoto lens, an 8MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP front camera, capable of capturing everything from zoomed-in portraits to wide group shots and high-quality selfies. 

It also debuts the industry’s first TÜV Rheinland-certified LumaColor Image Camera, which enhances color, balances lighting between subject and background, and renders natural skin tones for vibrant, lifelike photos. 

The realme 16 Pro 5G features a 200MP OIS main and 8MP ultra-wide, while the realme 16 5G features a 50MP Sony IMX852 main rear camera and a 50MP front camera, providing reliable performance for everyday photography.
