Vivo released the flagship X500 series of phones, with 3 brand-new designs
Vivo silently introduced a truly cool device together with its brand-new flagship X500 series of phones– an ultra-slim and light Bluetooth tracking touchscreen– and, having actually matched it with the brand-new X500 Pro Max, I want it worked with my phone.The tracking touchscreen, aka a selfie screen, mirrors your phone’s electronic camera app, total with touchscreen control over crucial cam settings and subject tracking, and can be connected
to the phone magnetically or utilized as a remote display within its Bluetooth variety.
Why not simply utilize your phone’s selfie cam rather, you ask? Well, the quality of the rear-facing selfie video camera is constantly inferior to the front-facing video cameras, as are the cam settings offered.A selfie screen, on the other hand, releases the gadget’s exceptional front cams– when it comes to the Vivo X500 Pro Max, a triple variety consisting of a 50MP primary electronic camera and a 200MP 3.5 x telephoto video camera.
We’ve seen this type of selfie screen tech before; Insta360’s Snap Selfie Screen enters your mind. It requires a cable television to link to a phone, it has a frustrating protective cover that flaps around when the screen is in usage, and the display screen is smaller sized and more difficult to see. The brand-new Vivo device, nevertheless, is much better and more advanced in every method.

It’s plainly a pattern– the Insta360 Luna Ultra vlogging video camera includes a detachable touchscreen and controller module (which likewise has an integrated mic), while DJI released a remote controller with a screen for its Pocket 4 series.
Whether utilized from another location or connected magnetically, the Vivo selfie screen’s 3.92-inch AMOLED screen with 419 pixels per inch (PPI) is clear and crisp. It’s likewise extremely light and thin, determining simply 5.65 mm thick and weighing 68g– you’ll hardly feel it on the phone.

It has a USB-C port for charging, plus 3 side buttons, consisting of a recording button and one for changing the screen’s brightness levels. Otherwise, that’s it.What’s uncertain at this phase is which gadgets work with the tracking screen, besides the Vivo X500 series, if any.
There’s one significant disadvantage to utilizing it with the Vivo X500 Pro Max– neither gadget is MagSafe, indicating you require a devoted case for the phone and display for them to stick!
Vivo offers a case (and the screen) independently, or they’re consisted of in a professional photographer’s set which likewise consists of 2 teleconverter lenses. The screen is provided with a magnetic MagSafe-style rubber case. Vivo states the screen costs 699 Chinese Yuan (a rate conversion is $105/ ₤ 78 around, though worldwide rates will be greater).

Compared to the other comparable gadgets I’ve attempted, I discovered the Vivo vlogging display lighter, has a clearer display screen, and I valued its cordless connection, with choices for remote or MagSafe-styler setups.If you ever shoot selfie material and desire you might more quickly utilize your phone’s exceptional front video camera, then a selfie screen is a terrific alternative, and Vivo appears like it has actually simply made the very best one. If it ends up being suitable with your gadget, then it might be the very best phone device you purchase all year– I’ll upgrade this page once I understand more about the accessibility and compatibility of the screen.
