SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — vivo, a leading global technology company, today introduced V30 Pro, the first V series smartphone to feature a vivo ZEISS Co-Engineered Imaging system, elevating smartphone portrait photography to a new level. The new device boasts a ZEISS Triple Main Camera and ZEISS Style Portrait, allowing users to capture professional-quality portraits with ease. V30 Pro combines cutting-edge technology with stunning design, featuring new outstanding color themes and textures. As one of the slimmest phones with a 5000 mAh (TYP) battery in the V series, V30 Pro ensures users stay connected all day long in style. And, with a large battery, bright display and a 4 nm Flagship Chip, V30 Pro delivers excellent performance for reliable daily use, smooth mobile gaming and immersive entertainment.

“We are thrilled to expand our imaging collaboration with ZEISS and bring our joint expertise to the V series for the first time. With each of the three rear cameras offering professional-grade imaging quality that meets ZEISS Optics standards, users can expect an exceptional portrait photography experience,” said Yongduan Zhou, General Manager of Overseas Products. “V30 Pro boasts a large-capacity battery in a sleek frame, with stunning new color themes for a perfect blend of style and performance.”

V30 Pro meets ZEISS Optics standards, enabling professional-level photography

vivo and ZEISS are now bringing their joint innovation to the V series for the first time. Together, vivo and ZEISS integrate cutting-edge optical technology with adapted smartphone design to bring advanced mobile imaging technologies to vivo smartphone users. The joint efforts span optical design specification and selection, implementation, as well as verification and validation of the imaging system and related features, such as ZEISS Style Portrait, ZEISS Natural Color and more.

V30 Pro, co-engineered with ZEISS, features ZEISS Triple Main Camera, meaning each rear camera on the smartphone meets the ZEISS Optics standards for professional-grade image quality.

V30 Pro is the first smartphone to feature a 50 MP Professional Portrait Camera, offering a 50 mm focal length for more realistic and vivid portraits. The overall perspective closely aligns with the human eye’s natural viewpoint, preventing distortions for a more natural appearance. With a significant increase in pixel count, now four times greater than the previous 12 MP portrait camera, V30 Pro can capture richer details in portraits, rendering even the finest strands of hair. Additionally, the 2x zoom allows for excellent portrait quality, even from a distance.

The 50 MP AF Ultra Wide-Angle Camera offers 119° Ultra Wide-Angle Perspective[1], perfect for group shots or beautiful landscape photography. It is the V series’ first 50 MP ultra wide-angle camera equipped with Auto Focus, offering 6.25 times the pixel count of an ordinary 8 MP wide-angle camera. It also features AI Group Portrait for clear group portraits of up to 30 people.

The rear camera setup is complete with a 50 MP vivo VCS True Color Main Camera that captures true colors with exceptional clarity in low-light conditions. The vivo-exclusive Camera-Bionic Spectrum (VCS) transforms the light intake from a quantitative change to a qualitative one, allowing the sensor to receive raw information that is increasingly closer to what is perceived by the human eye.

The 50 MP VCS True Color Main Camera boasts a 1/1.49″ sensor, the largest sensor in V series, supported by powerful Optical Image Stabilization, enabling users to capture clearer and brighter pictures at night.

V30 Pro provides users with the flexibility to customize color profiles according to their preferences. The vivo Color System Professional Colors feature offers three distinct color profiles. ZEISS Natural Color is a joint effort by vivo and ZEISS to capture colors that are true to what the human eye sees. This profile is ideal for professional users who require room for post-editing and users who prefer a more authentic look. vivo Vivid Color is a vibrant color profile refined over four years based on user preference. vivo Textured Color offers rich and delicate color expressions to capture the mood of the moment.

[1] The optical field of view of the 50 MP AF Ultra Wide-Angle Camera is 119°, and 109.2° after distortion correction.

Iconic photography style

vivo has teamed up with ZEISS to introduce ZEISS Style Portrait to V30 Pro. ZEISS Style Portrait offers six different portrait style bokeh options inspired by the distinctive bokeh look of iconic ZEISS lenses. These include ZEISS Biotar, Sonnar, Planar, Distagon, Cinematic Style Bokeh and ZEISS Cine-Flare Portrait.

V30 Pro introduces ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh, bringing an iconic cinematic style to videos. It features a unique cinematic aspect ratio of 2.39:1, adding a movie-like look and feel, and uses advanced AI-based depth calculations to achieve a more natural bokeh effect.

In addition, with ZEISS Border Watermark, users can now apply customized frames with photo parameters, adding an artistic touch to their photos while showcasing the vivo ZEISS Co-engineered Imaging System.

Professional Aura Light Portrait, your portable photography studio

V30 Pro brings an enhanced Aura Light Portrait with softer light, smart adjustment for close-ups and distant photos, and intelligent cool and warm light adjustment based on the subject’s surroundings to ensure color consistency.

Aura Light provides softer yet more powerful lighting for portraits compared to standard flash. Its light-emitting area is 19 times larger and 50 times softer[2], allowing users to capture delicate details for stunning portraits. V30 Pro also comes with an integrated Smart Color Temperature Adjustment that intelligently identifies and adjusts the color temperature based on the subject’s surroundings, preventing issues such as color casting and blurring of facial features often caused by environmental light.

V30 Pro further simplifies portrait photography with Distance-Sensitive Lighting that adjusts the Aura Light brightness level based on the subject’s distance in real-time with centimeter-level precision. The light is softer and more uniform when the subject is close and clearer and brighter when the subject is far.

Aura Light supports a range of new modes, such as Aura Light Portrait Video and Aura Light Food Mood, encouraging users to explore their creativity. Aura Light Portrait Video works with the smartphone’s powerful Hybrid Image Stabilization (OIS + EIS) to capture perfectly lit and clear videos even in low light.[3] Aura Light Food Mood challenges even the most complex restaurant lighting to help users capture bright, textured, and appetizing food photos with a single tap.

[2] The improvement data of the light-emitting area and softness comes from vivo’s laboratory based on a comparison of the Aura Light and the flash on V30 Pro.

[3] The Hybrid Image Stabilization (OIS + EIS) works when you are shooting with the main camera at 1x or above zoom.

Ultra-slim design and stunning new color options

V30 Pro maintains the V series’ signature slim design language while providing exceptional battery performance with its 5000 mAh (TYP) Battery. To achieve this, V30 Pro leverages an industry-leading One-Piece Encapsulation Technique that involves reconfiguring the battery casing to make it thinner, creating additional space for the battery cells. Additionally, V30 Pro has improved its 3D Curved Screen design for a better in-hand feel and grip, further enhancing the user experience.

The rear camera module is designed with the View Catcher concept in mind, reflecting the phone’s powerful photography features. It boasts a sophisticated 2.5D Glass Lens with a polished metal bezel that is fine-tuned using a diamond cutting technique for an elegant and refined look.

The innovative Color, Materials and Finish design brings a new visual and tactile experience to V30 Pro with outstanding new color themes. The Bloom White edition has a stunning 3D Petal Pattern created using photolithography, adding an incredible 13 million lines to the phone’s surface. Waving Aqua uses a Rippling Magnetic Particle process, integrating tens of thousands of tiny magnetic particles into flowing resin for a unique rippling effect with a greenish-blue hue. Lush Green uses the iconic Color Changing technology of the V series, bringing an elegant green shade that transforms into a deep blue hue under UV light. Finally, V30 Pro is also available in the elegant Noble Black version for those who prefer a more classic look.

All-day smooth and powerful performance

V30 Pro provides a powerful gaming and immersive entertainment experience, combining a large battery, a powerful chipset, and a stunning bright screen.

The large 5000 mAh (TYP) battery, supported by the Super Battery Saver, provides up to 20 days of standby time and can be fully charged in just 46 minutes[4] using the 80W FlashCharge[5] for smooth daily use. V30 Pro has also introduced leading battery technology that doubles its battery lifespan. The battery health remains above 80% even after 1600 charge-discharge cycles, maintaining a battery lifespan of four years.[6]

[4] The maximum standby time is for screen-off standby with a 4G network. The data is from vivo laboratory. Charging data is based on vivo laboratory environmental tests. The data was provided by vivo’s lab according to tests conducted under the device’s default charging mode. Actual battery duration and charging speed is subject to actual usage and may vary depending on environment and other factors.

[5] Equipped with vivo standard charger and cable, the product supports up to 80W FlashCharge. The actual charging power is dynamically adjusted as the scene changes, and subject to actual use.

For heavy-use tasks and gaming, V30 Pro boasts a powerful 4nm Flagship Processor and enhanced 12GB+12GB Extended RAM, ensuring lag-free operation. The device also features an Ultra Large Cooling System with a large vapor chamber of 3002 mm2, achieving multi-layer efficient heat dissipation for peak performance. With 11 built-in temperature sensors for real-time detection, V30 Pro remains smooth and stable.

V30 Pro boasts a 1.5K Ultra Clear Sunlight Display for an immersive entertainment experience with an ultra-clear AMOLED display, 3D curved screen and a 120 Hz refresh rate. With peak local brightness of 2800 nits, 213% higher than the previous generation, and maximum overall brightness of 1200 nits, users can enjoy screen content in strong sunlight. The display prioritizes eye protection and comfort with flagship-level features and has received SGS eye protection certification.

V30 Pro has a Comprehensive Cushioning Structure for lightweight durability. It features “Schott α” glass screen protection and raised metal bezels that shield the camera module. Reinforced sides and customized aluminum alloy corners increase the device’s overall strength, making it visually stunning and impressively tough. V30 Pro has an IP54[7] rating for dust and water resistance.

[6] These tests simulate daily usage habits (charging and discharging a phone once a day) and indicate that 1600 cycles equal approximately 4 years of usage. The above data was provided by vivo’s lab according to tests conducted in a simulated environment, with ambient and battery temperatures of 23°C±2°C for a full charge and discharge. Actual results may vary due to differences in test equipment, test environment, personal usage patterns and habits.

Real Estate Professionals Bev Best and Damien Zachman Explain Which Home Repairs Are Worth Doing Before Selling in HelloNation

Published

on

By

The article explains why sellers should prioritize safety, essential systems, and maintenance over costly cosmetic upgrades when preparing a mountain home for sale.

SHOW LOW, Ariz., Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — What repairs are actually worth doing before putting a house on the market in Arizona’s mountain communities? A HelloNation article offers practical insights from Real Estate Professionals Bev Best and Damien Zachman with The Best Team, Realty Executives, Arizona Territory, based in the White Mountains of Arizona. The article helps sellers focus on repairs that matter most when selling a home in the White Mountains of Arizona, highlighting how function, safety, and long-term usability often outweigh cosmetic upgrades.

The article emphasizes that the top priority when selling a home in the White Mountains of Arizona should be repairs tied to safety and performance. With the area’s colder climate, seasonal storms, and more rugged terrain, buyers tend to focus on whether a home is reliable and ready for year-round living. Issues like roof condition, heating systems, and general maintenance take precedence over modern finishes or high-end upgrades.

Roof condition is one of the first concerns raised in the article. In a mountain setting, a roof must withstand snow, wind, and sun exposure. If inspections reveal leaks, worn shingles, or signs of aging, repairs often make sense before listing. A roof in poor condition can delay financing or lead to price reductions during negotiations.

Heating systems are another major area sellers should evaluate. Buyers depend on furnaces, wood stoves, and other heat sources not only for comfort but also to protect pipes during freezing temperatures. The article advises sellers to ensure heating systems are operational and recently serviced. If the home includes a wood stove or fireplace, a basic inspection or cleaning may be worthwhile. A well-maintained stove and chimney can be a valuable selling point in a mountain market.

Plumbing and electrical concerns should also be addressed early. Leaks, outdated wiring, or visible safety issues often surface during inspections and can create delays late in the transaction. Fixing these items in advance helps reduce negotiation friction and supports smoother closings.

The article also highlights the importance of wells and septic systems in White Mountains properties. In Arizona, sellers are responsible for having the septic system inspected prior to closing, and that inspection remains valid for six months. Pumping or repairs may be needed depending on the inspection results. While well inspections are not legally required, buyers frequently request them. Water quality or equipment concerns discovered during the inspection period may need to be resolved as part of the sale.

General home maintenance often provides more value than cosmetic upgrades. Repairing broken railings, damaged doors, or worn exterior elements shows that the home has been properly maintained. Buyers in Show Low and nearby communities tend to notice deferred maintenance quickly, especially on homes exposed to snow and sun.

Cosmetic upgrades typically offer a lower return. High-end finishes or complete remodels rarely produce strong gains in this market. Clean, neutral spaces are usually sufficient when the property is structurally sound and mechanically reliable.

Paint and flooring should be reviewed carefully. Replacing severely damaged flooring may be worthwhile if safety or cleanliness is affected. Fresh paint can help if the walls show wear, but color choices should remain simple. Functional repairs generally protect value more effectively than style-driven updates.

The article also explains how repairs affect inspections and appraisals. Homes with unresolved roof conditions, heating system issues, or septic concerns are more likely to face lender scrutiny. Addressing these areas before listing reduces the likelihood of buyer credits or financing delays.

Outdoor safety also matters. Decks, stairs, and walkways should be stable and secure, especially in snowy conditions. Buyers often pay close attention to exterior features in mountain communities where weather exposure is significant.

Ultimately, the article makes clear that selling a home in the White Mountains of Arizona becomes easier when repair decisions are guided by function rather than trends. By prioritizing roof condition, heating systems, wells, septic compliance, and overall maintenance, sellers can prepare efficiently while protecting both time and value.

In HelloNation, Chiropractic Expert Dr. Jenelle Devenney Explains How Pediatric Chiropractic Is Adapted for Growing Bodies

Published

on

By

The article outlines how gentle chiropractic techniques support spinal alignment and movement in children and newborns.

HILLSDALE, Mich., Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — How is chiropractic care safely adapted for children and newborns? That question is answered in a HelloNation article featuring insights from Chiropractic Expert Dr. Jenelle Devenney of Hillsdale Family Chiropractic in Hillsdale, Michigan.

The article explains that while chiropractic care is commonly associated with adults, more families are turning to pediatric chiropractic as a supportive way to help children adapt to the physical changes of growth and development. Unlike adult care, which may involve firmer adjustments, chiropractic care for children is specifically designed to be gentle, age-appropriate, and comfortable.

The HelloNation article describes how pediatric chiropractic uses light pressure and calm handling tailored to each child’s size and developmental stage. For newborns and infants, adjustments involve touch no more forceful than what is used to check the ripeness of a tomato. This gentle approach supports spinal alignment without causing discomfort, making it suitable even for the youngest patients.

One of the primary goals of chiropractic care in children, according to the article, is to support the smooth function of the spine and nervous system during early development. Factors such as in-utero positioning, delivery method, and early motor habits can influence spinal alignment in newborns. In toddlers and young children, everyday experiences like frequent falls or growth spurts can create tension or imbalance. The article notes that while these changes are often part of normal development, they can sometimes impact sleep, digestion, or overall physical comfort.

Pediatric chiropractic focuses on observation and movement rather than symptoms alone. The article explains that chiropractors trained in pediatric care perform short, hands-on evaluations to assess posture, mobility, and the body’s response to gentle touch. Sessions are designed to be reassuring and relaxing, and many children respond positively to the calm environment.

Infant care often addresses concerns such as head turning preferences, body symmetry, or feeding challenges. When gentle chiropractic adjustments improve spinal alignment, the article suggests that comfort during nursing or sleep may also improve. These early milestones can be influenced by how well the spine and muscles are working together.

As children grow, their activities shift from crawling and walking to more complex motions like climbing, playing sports, or carrying backpacks. The article notes that pediatric chiropractic care helps monitor these changes, identifying imbalances early so they can be addressed before discomfort or poor posture becomes a long-term issue.

Parents often seek chiropractic support when a child shows signs of uneven movement or coordination difficulties. The HelloNation article makes it clear that chiropractic care is not a substitute for medical care, but it can offer additional insight into how the body is functioning. Chiropractors assess how movement patterns and spinal alignment may influence physical development and comfort.

The article emphasizes that chiropractic care for children is grounded in communication, observation, and respect for each stage of child development. Rather than focusing only on pain, pediatric chiropractic supports the body’s ability to adapt and move efficiently. This includes supporting nervous system function, balance, and muscle coordination.

For older children, especially those involved in sports or physical play, chiropractic care can help with flexibility, recovery, and postural changes. Minor injuries or repetitive strain from activities can affect how a child moves or feels. Regular chiropractic check-ins may help maintain healthy movement patterns and reduce stress on joints.

Safety remains a top priority in pediatric chiropractic. The article states that chiropractors trained in this specialty know when to refer to other providers and always aim to work in partnership with families. With a focus on gentle techniques and developmental support, chiropractic care can be a helpful part of a child’s wellness routine.

How Chiropractic Care Is Safely Adapted for Children and Newborns features insights from Dr. Jenelle Devenney, Chiropractic Expert of Hillsdale, Michigan, in HelloNation.
