The world has
arrived in the era of artificial intelligence. Most smartphones, if not all,
are equipped with AI features to enhance the user experience. But global
smartphone brand Vivo is making the most of this technology in its newest
flagship.
The Vivo X21
is powered by AI technology to enhance the experience of every user.
One of the
most basic uses of AI technology in mobile devices is through photography. The
Vivo brand has been well-known for the way it revolutionized the selfie game.
In Vivo X21, the
brand augmented how users take selfies with the AI Face Beauty and the AI
Selfie Lighting.
Vivo’s AI Face Beauty feature can identify the
subject’s sex, skin tone, and surrounding lighting environment to create the
ideal settings, which are eventually based on the user’s habits and
preferences.
But what really
makes it stand out is that this feature collected almost a million facial
images from people all over the world to create an AI database so its
algorithms can accurately detect the age, gender, and skin tone of users in
different countries. This provides each user with the most appropriate beauty
effects also based on specific market habits and culture.
TechPinas’ Mark
Milan Macanas, in fact, affirmed that the feature renders a more natural result.
“With this
technology from Vivo, your selfies will be beautified, but at the same time,
you still look like your selfies,” he said at the launch of the Vivo X21 on
June 21.
To give more
impact to the selfies, Vivo X21 also has AI
Selfie Lighting that processes light accents authentically. It does by
identifying the different parts of the face so the X21 can fill light, adjust
sharpness, enhance shadows, and apply filters. The user can choose among a
range of light accent effects like Studio Light, Stereo Light, and Monochrome
Background to enhance that perfect shot.

Aside from
its selfie capabilities, the front camera also has a new infrared module to
help user to recognize faces even in dark situations. Now enhanced by AI, Vivo
X21’s AI Face Access can
intelligently detect ambient light intensity and ensure fast and accurate
unlocking at night.
Vivo X21’s AI
Photography, moreover, is improved with the AI HDR and the AI Scene
Recognition.
With just a
single press of the shutter, Vivo X21’s AI
HDR captures more frames of a wider dynamic range than previously possible
with existing HDR technology. This provides more image options for merging to
perfectly light all the parts of the eventual photo to render crisper results.
The AI Scene Recognition, meanwhile, goes
beyond the night, sports, vibration or backlit scenarios. It can also detect
and identify 18 tags and 140 scenarios such as portraits, food, and plants. It
is activated using Vivo’s AI algorithm based on a large database of almost one
million photos. Through this database, the Vivo X21 can detect different
scenarios and adjust settings such as saturation, sharpness, and brightness.

AI Scene Recognition
Also during
the launch of the Vivo X21 on June 21, GadgetMatch’s Daniel Moral praised this
AI feature in helping a user sort out the photos taken.
“Vivo X21 has
more scene detections than any other phones in the market… There is an album
dedicated called AI Image Identification, so you go there then it sorts out by
selfies, by documents, by food, and by people,” he said.
Vivo’s newest
flagship also uses AI technology to enhance its processor. Named AI Smart Engine, the Vivo X21 is
powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Artificial Intelligence Engine (AIE)
which can effectively utilize CPU resources for complex AI processes.
In fact,
according to GizGuide’s Peter Jan Icogo, the Vivo X21’s chipset is the
smartphone brand’s most powerful processor in the Philippines to date.
“What I like
about the Vivo X21 with the help of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 is its battery
efficiency... Its battery life can last for around 1.5 days in a single charge.
That is very impressive,” he said during the Vivo X21 launch.
The AI Smart
Engine, moreover, also familiarizes itself with user preferences and predicts
different usage scenarios to launch and switch apps faster for a seamless user
experience.
The AI Smart
Engine is further amplified by the AI
Game Mode. The Vivo X21 knows it when you play games and transforms into a
dedicated game console with features to help eliminate distraction. For
instance, the Background Calls feature means you can stay on calls without stopping
the game, and AI Game Mode prevents accidental touch operations, ensuring you
only make the moves you intended.
With all these AI-powered capabilities, Vivo X21
proves that its priority is making smartphone experience a pleasure to every
user.
The Vivo X21 is
available for only Php29,999. It is retailed at authorized shops nationwide.
