Main Cameras
Wide Camera The 50 MP main camera on the vivo iQOO Z10 captures detailed photos thanks to its high resolution and a wide f/1.8 aperture, which allows more light in for better low-light performance. Its 1/1.95" sensor size and 0.8µm pixel size help balance detail and noise, especially in well-lit conditions. With PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), the camera locks focus quickly and reduces blur from hand shakes, making it great for both stills and video. This camera features a 48-megapixel sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, allowing for good low-light performance and sharp detail. Its 24mm wide-angle lens offers a broader field of view, while the 1/1.28" sensor size and 1.22µm pixels help capture more light per pixel for better image quality. Dual Pixel PDAF ensures fast and accurate autofocus, and sensor-shift OIS stabilizes the image by physically moving the sensor to reduce blur from hand shake.
Telephoto Camera
Ultrawide Camera This 48 MP ultrawide camera has a 13mm focal length and f/2.2 aperture, designed to capture expansive scenes like landscapes or group shots. Its 1/2.55" sensor and small 0.7µm pixels prioritize wide coverage over light sensitivity, making it better suited for well-lit conditions. Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) helps quickly lock focus even on wide-angle shots.
Periscope Telephoto Camera This 12 MP periscope telephoto camera has an f/2.8 aperture and a 120mm focal length, enabling 5x optical zoom for capturing distant subjects with clarity. The 1/3.06" sensor and 1.12µm pixel size are optimized for zoom shots, while dual pixel PDAF ensures fast and precise focusing. It also features advanced 3D sensor-shift optical image stabilization to minimize blur when zoomed in.
Macro Camera
Depth Camera The 2 MP depth sensor on the vivo iQOO Z10 is used to capture depth information, helping create more natural-looking portrait shots with background blur (bokeh effect). With an f/2.4 aperture, it doesn’t capture much light but is sufficient for its supporting role. It works alongside the main camera to improve subject-background separation rather than capturing standalone photos. The TOF 3D LiDAR scanner is a depth-sensing sensor that uses time-of-flight technology to measure how long it takes light to bounce off objects and return to the sensor. This creates a detailed 3D map of the environment, enabling precise depth perception. It's commonly used for enhanced autofocus, portrait effects, and augmented reality (AR) applications.
Night Vision Camera
Features The main camera of the vivo iQOO Z10 includes features like LED flash for better lighting in dark scenes, HDR (High Dynamic Range) for balanced exposure in high-contrast environments, and panorama mode for capturing wide, sweeping landscape shots. These tools enhance versatility, allowing for better photo quality in a range of lighting and scenery conditions. While basic, they provide essential functionality for casual and everyday photography. The dual-LED dual-tone flash combines two different color temperatures to produce more natural-looking lighting in low-light photos. HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances image quality by capturing multiple exposures and merging them for better detail in both bright and dark areas. This feature works in both standard photos and panoramas, ensuring balanced and vivid results.
Video The vivo iQOO Z10's main camera supports video recording at 4K@30fps for high-resolution clips and 1080p at both 30fps and 60fps for smoother motion or faster action. It also includes gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization), which helps reduce shakiness in videos, especially while walking or moving. This makes it a solid choice for casual vlogging or social media content creation without needing extra gear. This camera supports versatile video recording, offering 4K at up to 120fps and 1080p at up to 240fps for ultra-smooth slow motion. It captures high-quality footage with 10-bit HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60fps), and Apple ProRes for professional-grade color and detail. Additionally, it enables 3D spatial video and audio recording, along with stereo sound, for immersive playback experiences.
Selfie
Selfie Wide Camera The vivo iQOO Z10 features a single 8 MP selfie camera with a wide f/2.0 aperture, suitable for capturing clear front-facing shots in good lighting. While not high-end, it’s adequate for video calls, selfies, and social media posts. The wide lens helps fit more into the frame, making it handy for group selfies or scenic backgrounds. The selfie camera features a 12 MP sensor with an f/1.9 aperture and a 23mm wide-angle lens, ideal for sharp, detailed self-portraits. Its 1/3.6" sensor size and 1.0µm pixels enhance low-light performance, while PDAF ensures quick and accurate autofocus. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps keep the shot steady, reducing blur from hand movement.
Selfie Depth Camera The selfie depth camera, equipped with SL 3D (Structured Light 3D) technology, provides precise depth mapping for enhanced facial recognition and biometric security. It captures detailed 3D data to create accurate depth information, improving features like portrait mode and AR effects. Additionally, it contributes to biometric authentication for secure and reliable face unlocking.
Selfie Features The selfie camera supports HDR for improved dynamic range in photos and videos, ensuring better detail in both bright and dark areas. It also captures Dolby Vision HDR for high-quality color and contrast, and 3D spatial audio for a more immersive sound experience. Additionally, stereo sound recording enhances the audio quality of selfies and videos for richer, more realistic sound.
Selfie Video The vivo iQOO Z10's selfie camera supports 1080p video recording at 30fps, providing decent clarity for video calls, vlogs, and social media clips. While it doesn't offer 4K or high frame rates, it delivers smooth and sharp footage for everyday use. It's a solid option for users who prioritize front-camera video quality on a budget. The selfie camera can record video in 4K at up to 60fps, offering crisp and smooth footage for high-quality selfies and vlogs. It also supports 1080p recording at up to 120fps for detailed slow-motion video. Gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) ensures steady footage by compensating for hand movements during video capture.
