Vivo is launching its new Vivo X50 smartphone on 1st June in China and the company has already confirmed that the device will feature micro gimbal camera for the primary sensor that aims to offer improved optical stabilisation.
The technology is the same that was showcased with the Vivo Apex 2020 Concept Smartphone which was unveiled earlier this year. However, it will be making its debut commercially with the Vivo X50. Ahead of the launch, Vivo has now revealed the technical details of the micro gimbal camera.
The micro gimbal mechanism has a magnetic frame which is controlled by voice coils. There’s also a suspension bracket which is connected to the base with double ball bearings. The setting enables X-axis and Y-axis tilt angles of up to 3 degrees each, which the company says is three times that of traditional OIS.
To ease up any tension from twisting during stabilisation, the company has extended and folded the sensor’s ribbon into a dual-S shape. Thus, the module takes up extra space but the company says it managed to keep the thickness at 4.5mm.

Vivo has also shared a teaser video using the micro gimbal camera which showcases the awesome optical stabilisation of the sensor as well as an impressive low-light capabilities. Apart from videos, the output from still photos is also quite impressive.
The company has already confirmed that the Vivo X50 Pro features an ultra-large primary camera sensor with a focal length of 16-135mm and supports 5x optical zoom as well as 10x digital zoom. The company is also expected to be capable of 360-degree movements and offer anti-shake technology.
While Vivo has been revealing details about the upcoming smartphone’s camera module, the company has not yet confirmed the camera specifications for the quad-camera setup. But everything will be clear once the phone gets launched in China on 1st June, along with the pricing and availability details.
