On Monday, Vivo had released a video to tease the rear appearance of the upcoming Vivo X30. Yesterday, the Chinese manufacturer released another video to reveal that the Vivo X30 carries support for 60x super zoom. Today, it has rolled out another poster that gives a clearer look at the quad camera setup of the smartphone. It confirms the existence of a periscope lens.
The Vivo X30 features a vertical strip featuring triple camera. Alongside it is the fourth camera lens that has a squarish look. It appears to be the super telephoto periscope lens that is expected to enable 5x optical zoom and up to 60x super zoom on the Vivo X30 series. Unfortunately, the company did not reveal any information on the configurations of the rear camera sensors. Some rumors have claimed that the periscope lens feature will be only available on the advanced Vivo X30 Pro smartphone. No official confirmation on it has surfaced yet.
The Vivo X30 series will be arriving as the first Vivo phones with support for dual-mode 5G since it is fueled by the Samsung-made Exynos 980 chipset. The front design of the smartphone is still a mystery. The 3C listing of the phone has revealed it could be coming with a charger that supports 33W fast charging.
The predecessor Vivo X27 series included a notch-less display with a pop-up selfie camera. The Vivo X27 Pro also featured a notch-less screen with a wider pop-up selfie camera system for that housed an LED flash and a camera lens. It remains to be seen whether the Vivo X30 series continues to offer a similar design. Like the predecessor models, the Vivo X30 series will be equipped with an in-display fingerprint reader.

In related news, Vivo has launched a new smartphone called Vivo Z5i in China. Even though it carries a new moniker, it is the very same Vivo U3 smartphone that was unveiled earlier this month. The only major difference between the two phones is that the Vivo Z5i offers users with higher RAM and larger native storage.
Priced at 1,798 Yuan, the Vivo Z5i is fitted with a 6.53-inch IPS LCD display that produces full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels. The Snapdragon 675 chipset fuels the phone along with 8 GB of RAM. The phone offers 128 GB of native storage and a microSD card slot for more storage. The FunTouch OS 9.2 UI based Android 9 Pie OS runs on the device.
The Vivo Z5i is packed with a 4,500mAh battery that supports 18W dual-engine fast charging through microUSB. For capturing selfies, it is fitted with a 16-megapixel camera in the display notch. The back panel of the phone features a 16-megapixel + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera setup along with an LED flash and a fingerprint reader.
