vivo gives consumers more affordable way to own its phones

 

For consumers who want to experience a vivo smartphone without necessarily buying a brand-new unit, there is another option worth considering: vivo refurbished phones.

Unlike ordinary second-hand phones, refurbished vivo units are brand-managed devices that undergo inspection, cleaning, and necessary repairs by vivo customer service professionals before being made available for resale. This gives consumers a more accessible way to own a vivo smartphone, while offering the added assurance of professional quality checks and warranty support.

Refurbished vivo phones may come from units previously used by KOLs or ambassadors, as well as store display and demo units. Once these devices are returned, they are handled by vivo customer service professionals and undergo the necessary inspection, cleaning, and repair processes before being relisted for sale.

This is what sets refurbished vivo phones apart from ordinary second-hand devices. Rather than being resold as-is, refurbished units are professionally checked and prepared before being made available to another consumer.

For Filipino consumers, this means having another option when looking for a vivo smartphone that fits their budget. Refurbished units can make selected vivo devices more accessible, while the professional refurbishment process and warranty support provide added confidence compared with buying a phone solely based on its previous ownership.

Professional refurbishment with warranty support

For consumers, knowing that a device has gone through a professional refurbishment process can provide added peace of mind when considering a refurbished phone.

Refurbished vivo phones come with a standard one-year warranty, with the warranty start date determined according to the unit's classification and available proof of purchase.

There are two types of refurbished vivo phones:

    • Pre-owned (LDU) – These are older demo or ex-display units that have been refurbished for resale. The product code carries a two-digit suffix, while the device and packaging carry a “Pre-owned” label.

    • Near New – These are units returned within 15 days and subsequently refurbished for resale. The product code carries a one-digit suffix, while the device and packaging carry a “Near New” label.

For purchases with proof of purchase, the warranty starts on the purchase date indicated on the receipt.

For pre-owned units without proof of purchase, the warranty start date is based on the device's IMEI binding, activation, or sold date.

For Near New units without proof of purchase, the 90th day after the production date applies as the warranty start date, in accordance with vivo's warranty policy.

With clear classifications and warranty guidelines, consumers can better understand the refurbished unit they are purchasing and have the added reassurance of vivo's after-sales support.

How to buy a refurbished vivo phone

For Filipinos looking for a more accessible way to experience vivo, purchasing a refurbished unit is also straightforward.

Consumers can visit the official vivo website, go to the e-store, select products, and choose refurbished phones. Refurbished units can also be purchased through a vivo Store by selecting shop and then refurbished phones.

For Filipino consumers weighing their options when purchasing a smartphone, vivo refurbished phones offer a practical alternative to buying brand-new or ordinary second-hand devices. With professionally refurbished units, clear classifications, and warranty support, consumers can enjoy a more accessible way to own selected vivo smartphones while having the added confidence of vivo's after-sales service.

Simple tips for better photos with vivo X300 FE

 

Great smartphone photos often come down to understanding light and knowing when to make a few adjustments. With the vivo X300 FE, users can explore Pro Mode and Portrait Flash to take greater control of their shots and experiment with different photography styles, from detailed low-light scenes to candid portraits inspired by social media trends.

Pro Mode: Take control of your shots and create freely

For everyday photography, Auto Mode offers a convenient way to capture moments. For users who want more creative control, Pro Mode allows adjustments to ISO, shutter speed, white balance, focus, and exposure compensation. To access it, open the Camera app and select More, then Pro.

See attached video link for reference.

https://www.tiktok.com/@vivo_philippines/video/7674570393402772757?lang=en

In bright conditions, try a lower ISO, around 50 to 200, for cleaner images. In darker settings, increasing ISO can help brighten the shot, while a slower shutter speed can capture more light. When using a slower shutter speed, keep the phone steady to help maintain image clarity.

Users can also experiment with white balance and focus to create a look that better suits the scene. Starting with one adjustment at a time makes it easier to see how each setting changes the final photo.

Portrait Flash: Recreate the viral "Dirty Flash" look

Flash photography is trending again, with Instagram’s viral “Dirty Flash” aesthetic bringing a candid, spontaneous feel to portraits.

See attached video link for reference.

https://www.tiktok.com/@vivo_philippines/video/7674571785408548117?lang=en

The vivo X300 FE’s Portrait Flash lets users explore a similar look across five portrait focal lengths from 23mm to 100mm, automatically adjusting flash coverage and intensity. Use a 23mm for wider, candid shots or longer focal lengths for closer portraits, while allowing the surrounding environment to add character to the image.

The vivo X300 FE is available in the Philippines for Php 54,999 at vivo stores nationwide and through Shopee, Lazada, TikTok Shop, vivo official e-store, and vivo official app. Purchases come with a free vivo Photography Bag and vivo Buds Pro, while supplies last.

Jason Kidd, Lauren Jackson get up close with Filipino fans at vivo, NBA meet-and-greet

 

Filipino basketball fans got a rare chance to meet two of the sport’s biggest names as NBA champion Jason Kidd and WNBA legend Lauren Jackson came together for an intimate vivo x NBA meet-and-greet at the vivo Concept Store in SM Megamall.

Held on August 28, the gathering brought Kidd and Jackson closer to 30 selected fans for an afternoon of basketball stories, career insights, and personal interactions.

The two Hall of Famers opened up about the experiences behind their decorated careers, from handling pressure early on to learning from failure, finding great teammates, and continuing to grow beyond the court.

Lessons from basketball legends

For Kidd, who went from NBA champion and 10-time All-Star to Olympic gold medalist, Hall of Famer, and coach, one of the biggest lessons came from learning to embrace every stage of the journey.

“Enjoy it. A lot of times, you're in the moment, you're so competitive trying to figure out how to win, and sometimes don't take a second just to enjoy it,” Kidd shared. 

He also shared a simple reminder about dealing with setbacks, something that applies both on and off the court.

“It’s alright to fail. We've all missed the shots, we've all turned the ball over, we've all made mistakes, but you learn from those mistakes and own those mistakes. I think that's the key in life,” he said. 

For Jervey Limjoco of Mandaluyong, a self-proclaimed No. 1 Jason Kidd fan in the Philippines, it was Kidd’s leadership and ability to elevate the players around him that made him a standout.

“It’s his leadership, how he breaks down the game and makes everyone around him better. His passing, his ability to make a pass that leads to another pass that eventually helps his team score. That’s what really stands out to me about Jason Kidd,” Limjoco shared.

Jackson, meanwhile, reflected on her own journey as a three-time WNBA MVP, two-time WNBA champion, Olympic medalist, and Hall of Famer, including her return to basketball after an eight-year break.

For young athletes dreaming of following in her footsteps, her message was simple: make room for the game and, most importantly, enjoy it.

“Create a space for them to exist and enjoy and love it,” Lauren shared. 

For both legends, basketball was never just about trophies. It was about the people, experiences, setbacks, and moments that shaped their careers.

The Q&A then led into the highlight many fans had been waiting for: the meet-and-greet itself.

Selected fans got to meet Kidd and Jackson up close, receive exclusive posters, and take an official photo with the two basketball icons.

For fans who have spent years watching their careers from afar, the experience offered a rare chance to stand beside the legends they grew up watching.

Moments worth keeping with basketball legends 

The afternoon also highlighted how technology has changed the way fans experience and preserve basketball moments.

When asked what they would have loved to capture if today’s smartphone camera technology had been available during their playing careers, Kidd pointed to how smartphones now help people stay connected with the people who matter.

“To capture something, I love that we have it now, to be able to stay in touch with family and friends,'' Kidd shared. 

Jackson reflected on how technology can make even distant games feel close. “You could be playing miles and miles away but it could be right here, right on your phone. I think that's pretty crazy,” Lauren mentioned.

Kidd, meanwhile, is an NBA champion, 10-time NBA All-Star, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer. A celebrated point guard known for his court vision and playmaking, he later continued his career as an NBA coach.

Bringing the experience closer with the vivo X300 Ultra

The event will also spotlight the vivo X300 Ultra, vivo's flagship smartphone equipped with Triple ZEISS Master Lenses, including an 85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera.

Anne Curtis, BJ Pascual ride rollercoaster shot on vivo X300 Ultra

Capturing a great shot is one thing. Capturing one while your subjects are speeding through a rollercoaster at up to 97 kilometers per hour is another.

Anne and BJ took on the TRON Lightcycle Power Run at Shanghai Disneyland, one of Disneyland’s fastest and most futuristic attractions.

At the heart of the action, the vivo X300 Ultra's 200MP 85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera brought the duo closer into frame, capturing their expressions and reactions as the ride raced through its futuristic track.

https://www.tiktok.com/@vivo_philippines/video/7673361440908135698

Taken at 85mm, f/2.67, 1/200s, ISO 50, the shot showcases the vivo X300 Ultra's dedicated telephoto camera in a challenging, fast-moving environment. Its 3° Gimbal-Grade OIS and 60 fps AF Tracking are designed to help keep moving subjects steady and in focus, making it possible to capture the rush of the ride while keeping Anne and BJ at the center of the frame.

The result goes beyond simply documenting a rollercoaster ride. At 85mm, Anne and BJ's expressions become the story, the laughter, adrenaline, and split-second reactions captured as they hurtle through one of Shanghai Disneyland's most thrilling attractions.

At 97 km/h, there is no time to stop, pose, or ask for another take. The moment happens once, and the camera has to be ready for it. 

With its 200MP telephoto camera, high-speed AF tracking, and gimbal-grade stabilization, the vivo X300 Ultra is built to bring fast-moving subjects closer while keeping the action in sight.

The best moments sometimes happen from a distance, at full speed, and without warning. With the vivo X300 Ultra, you can zoom in and keep the excitement in frame.

The vivo X300 Ultra is available for Php 109,999 at vivo Concept Stores nationwide and through the vivo e-store.

vivo X300 Ultra captures Anne Curtis in Shanghai Disneyland

 

Anne Curtis continued her Shanghai trip at Shanghai Disneyland, where the vivo X300 Ultra captured her at two of the resort’s five branded photo spots, showcasing views of the Enchanted Storybook Castle and Alice in Wonderland Maze.  The photo spots are part of a new vivo and Shanghai Disney Resort alliance that introduced five designated locations across different themed lands, giving guests recommended angles for photographing some of the park’s most recognizable scenes. After visiting Shanghai’s North Bund and Shikumen areas, Curtis headed to Shanghai Disneyland for a day of exploring and photography. Among the locations she photographed were the Enchanted Storybook Castle, the park’s central fairytale landmark, and the Alice in Wonderland Maze, a colorful attraction inspired by the classic story. https://www.tiktok.com/@vivo_philippines/video/7671159120132705556 The five vivo-branded photo spots are positioned across different themed lands and include views of the Enchanted Storybook Castle, Alice in Wonderland Maze, Fantasia Carousel, Rex’s Racer, and a designated panoramic park vista.

For Curtis, the locations also served as backdrops for portraits taken with the vivo X300 Ultra. Its ZEISS-powered camera system combines a 200-megapixel main and telephoto camera and a 50-megapixel 14mm-equivalent ultra-wide camera, giving her different focal lengths for portraits and wider environmental shots.

Its ZEISS Master Color imaging system is designed to maintain natural-looking color and detail across different lighting conditions, making it suited to the changing scenes of a full day at the park. “It was a very, very busy day but so much fun. Of course, what a way to end it at Shanghai Disneyland. They say it is the happiest place on earth, and it truly was the happiest day today. Thank you so much vivo family.

Filipinos revisit the memories behind their vivo phones through #MyvivoStory

 

From first phones and unforgettable moments to family memories and travel photos, vivo users are sharing the stories that made their devices part of their lives, all for a chance to win a vivo V70 or a limited-edition vivo Bluetooth Speaker.

Through #MyvivoStory, vivo Philippines is inviting its community to revisit different chapters of their journey with their vivo phones through a series of weekly questions, from “What’s your first vivo phone?” and “What’s your vivo story?” to “Trust vivo moment” and ''Travel with vivo.''

The responses reveal that behind every device is more than a model name or set of specifications. For many users, their vivo phones have been there to capture relationships, family milestones, adventures, and everyday moments they want to remember.

vivo Stories

• Rodrod Pimentel — vivo Y81: “What’s Your First vivo Phone?”

For Rodrod Pimentel, his vivo story began in 2018 with vivo Y81. More than eight years later, Rodrod says his first vivo phone remains functional despite going through several unexpected mishaps. 

''I accidentally left it in my pants' pocket before putting through the laundry, I dropped it multiple times, and even had my 10-year-old niece accidentally jump over it, yet, the phone continues to work,'' he shared. 

While Rodrod’s story highlights the durability he experienced with his device, it also shows how a phone can become part of someone’s life simply by staying with them through the years. 

What started as his first vivo phone remained with him through countless everyday moments, making the device a memorable part of his journey with the brand. 

• Christine Redondo - from vivo V23 to vivo V70: ''Trust vivo moment''

Christine Redondo's journey with vivo began with her eldest child, whom she photographed using a vivo V23. Now, as she documents the milestones of her youngest, she continues the tradition with the vivo V70.

From one child to another and from one vivo phone to the next, Christine has trusted the brand’s camera to document the little moments that mark how quickly her children grow.

“Ang trust vivo moment ko ay tuwing kinukuhanan ko ang anak ko ng monthly milestone nila. Mula sa panganay ko, vivo V23 ang gamit ko. Ngayon, sa bunso ko, vivo V70 naman. Thank you, vivo, sa magandang camera,” she shared.

Her story shows that a “Trust vivo moment” can be found in the everyday moments parents never want to miss, from a baby's monthly milestone to the little changes that happen between each photo.

• Keith Andrew Pacio — vivo X200: “What’s Your vivo Story?”

Keith Andrew Pacio's vivo story is about being able to capture a spectacular moment as it happened.

Using his vivo X200, Keith photographed the pyromusical event at SM Mall of Asia, capturing the fireworks lighting up the night sky as spectators watched the show.

For Keith, the image became a standout example of what his vivo X200 could capture, preserving the colors, movement, and excitement of the moment even after the spectacle had ended.

“Using my vivo X200, I didn't have any issues capturing great images. One of the best samples here is this photo. It captured the moment perfectly when we were watching the pyromusical event in SM MOA,” he shared.

Calling it a “definite wow moment,” Keith’s story shows how smartphone photography can turn fleeting experiences into memories that can be revisited long after the moment has passed.

• Joyal Hope - vivo V29: ''Travel with vivo''

For Joyal Hope, one of her favorite vivo memories comes from a milestone her family will not soon forget: their first-ever family trip abroad.

During their trip to Hong Kong, Joyal used her vivo V29 to capture a family photo at Madame Tussauds, preserving not only the moment but also the joy and excitement of experiencing a new destination together.

“My favorite photo was taken at Hong Kong Madame Tussauds during our first-ever family trip abroad. My vivo V29 beautifully captured not just the moment, but the joy, excitement, and love we shared that day,” she shared.

For Joyal, the photograph has become more than a travel souvenir. Every time she looks at it, she is reminded of the happiness they shared and the people she experienced that milestone with.

Her story also reflects what the latest #MyvivoStory is all about: “Share your favorite travel photos captured on your vivo phone,'' which invites the community to share their favorite travel photos captured on their vivo phones.

More vivo stories to tell

The stories shared so far are only the beginning of vivo Philippines’ #MyvivoStory conversation.

From a first vivo phone that stayed with its owner for years, to a photograph that captured the early days of a relationship, to the milestones of growing children and a family’s first trip abroad, each response reveals a different way that vivo phones have become part of people’s lives.

As the series continues, vivo Philippines is giving its community more opportunities to share these personal experiences through its weekly questions.

Those who want to join can follow vivo Philippines on Facebook, answer each Question of the Week, and use #MyvivoStory, #vivoxAnneCurtis and #vivoX300Ultra when sharing their responses. 

Participants who complete all the Questions of the Week will get a chance to win a brand-new vivo V70 or a limited-edition vivo Bluetooth Speaker for free.

Through #MyvivoStory, vivo Philippines continues to turn a simple question about a phone into a collection of stories about the people, places, and moments that make each device meaningful.

Anne Curtis explores Shanghai through vivo X300 Ultra's lens

Anne Curtis traded the studio for the streets of Shanghai as she explored two of the city's most recognizable destinations through the lens of the vivo X300 Ultra, joining celebrated fashion photographer BJ Pascual for the smartphone brand's latest global campaign shoot.

Set against the futuristic North Bund skyline and the preserved stone-gate lanes of Shikumen in Huangpu District, the shoot highlighted Shanghai's blend of modern architecture and cultural heritage while allowing Curtis to put vivo's flagship camera smartphone to the test in real-world settings.

https://www.tiktok.com/@vivo_philippines/video/7669600943486323989

One of the first stops was the Silver Egg at the North Bund, where Curtis experimented with vivo X300 Ultra's 200-megapixel 85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera to photograph the Oriental Pearl TV Tower from afar. 

Reviewing the image, she pointed out how the smartphone was able to tightly frame the landmark, showcasing its red circular rooftop. "This is how tight you can get. That's crazy. Insane," Curtis said after capturing the shot.

The production later moved to Shikumen, a historic neighborhood known for its traditional stone-gate architecture and pedestrian streets. Surrounded by preserved heritage buildings, Curtis reflected on how the location offered more than just a backdrop for the campaign.

"I really love where we're shooting right now, which is considered like a heritage promenade, so I get to see a lot of heritage architecture, not only just see it but shoot alongside it," she said.

Photographed by BJ, the campaign combined fashion, travel, and street photography across two distinctly different settings, showcasing how the city's contrasting landscapes can be captured using a single device.

"Shanghai offers an incredible visual contrast between contemporary architecture and historic neighborhoods, making it an ideal setting to demonstrate what the vivo X300 Ultra is capable of in the hands of creators," said vivo Philippines Brand Marketing Director Liu Lu. "The campaign reflects how today's smartphone photography can adapt to different environments while preserving detail, depth, and perspective."

The vivo X300 Ultra is vivo's most advanced camera smartphone to date. Developed with a ZEISS imaging system, it features a 200-megapixel 85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera, a 200-megapixel 35mm ZEISS Documentary Camera, and a 50-megapixel 14mm ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera. The smartphone is designed to deliver professional-quality images across multiple focal lengths, supporting everything from portraits and street photography to landscapes and documentary-style photography.
