MANILA, PHILIPPINES – The highly anticipated vivo V40 Grand Launch lit up Okada Manila on September 18, 2024, as brand ambassadors Anne Curtis and Maine Mendoza dazzled the crowd with their stunning looks, inspired by the vibrant colorways of the new vivo V40. 

Both stars posed for photos, showcasing the vivo V40 in Sunglow Peach and Nebula Purple at interactive booths designed to highlight the phone’s innovative features.

Captured by the vivo V40’s powerful 50MP cameras, co-engineered with ZEISS, the portraits of Anne and Maine were nothing short of lifelike. The ZEISS Multifocal Portrait feature brought their photos to life, giving them the professional quality that has become synonymous with ZEISS optics.

This groundbreaking feature allows users to capture professional-grade portraits using the three most popular focal lengths in photography: 24mm, 35mm, and 50mm. With this technology, capturing breathtaking, magazine-worthy shots is made simple.
