As photography on smartphones get better and better every year, we have been able to capture the moon in fine details thanks to powerful zoom lens. However, while there are some brands that offer a great experience on their telephoto/periscope cameras, it appears that Vivo might be manipulating some of the results.
According to a series of tweets by Alvin (@sondesix), he shared a number of pictures and his experience of taking shots of the moon on his Vivo X80 Pro. In the first tweet, he took two images of the moon, one with auto mode from the main camera (1x zoom) and one in the Supermoon mode (1x zoom). The picture taken on auto mode shows the moon as how it appears in the night sky naturally, but in the Supermoon mode the moon appears to be much more larger.
We can even see certain details on the moon. Keep in mind that both shots were taken in the same magnification so such a noticeable change in size shows some form of manipulation. Following this, Alvin continued to even test the device against pictures taken from phones from other brands. He compared a moon shot with the Galaxy S23 Ultra where he set the S23 Ultra’s zoom camera on 65.3x magnification to make a comparable image.
Here again, we see quite a bit of difference between the two phones in terms of the details that can be seen on the moon’s surface. Alvin compared the two images and concluded that Vivo is manipulating moon shots on the Vivo X80 Pro. He noticed certain details suddenly appearing or being removed in the pictures taken of the moon, but also added that the differences could be related to different lenses and focal lengths. However, he still feels like the difference is quite “sus”.
