Vivo South Africa has announced the launch of the vivo V70. Featuring a powerful 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, a dedicated AI Stage Mode, 4K 60fps Video, and AI-powered post-editing tools, V70 is the perfect companion for stage performance and travel. Boasting a new, stylish look, it features a refined, Aerospace-Grade Aluminium Alloy Frame, a 1.5K Ultra Clear OLED Display with ultrasonic fingerprint security, top-notch durability, and a long-lasting 6,500mAh BlueVolt Battery with 90W FlashCharge. Powered by the brand-new OriginOS 6, it delivers enhanced performance and privacy control.
“The V70 offers a better user experience with a better look, better photography, and better overall performance,” said Tony Shi, vivo South Africa General Manager. “With its refined, durable design, the smoother, smarter OriginOS, and pro-grade camera upgrades, V70 is a stylish device that is reliable in any scenario.”
Bringing the stage closer with pro-grade telephoto camera, co-engineered with ZEISS
Equipped with an even more powerful imaging system co‑engineered with ZEISS, V70 is ready to capture every moment in stunning quality. The 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera features a pro-grade 1/1.95‑inch ultra-sensing sensor and OIS for sharper low-light shots, while its advanced periscope design enables higher zoom levels without adding bulk. The rear setup is completed by a 50MP ZEISS OIS Main Camera with a 1/1.56″ flagship sensor and an 8MP ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera, offering additional versatility. The front camera is a 50MP ZEISS Group Selfie Camera with autofocus, delivering sharp results whether users are taking solo selfies or group photos with friends.
V70 introduces a brand-new AI Stage Mode tuned for stage photography. The powerful 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera and AI Stage Mode, enhanced by AI Image Enhancement Algorithm and AI Style Portrait Technology, work together to achieve 10x zoom for crisp stage photos. ZEISS Multifocal Portrait helps users capture the emotion of the moment even better, with options like the 85mm Portrait with ZEISS Sonnar Style Bokeh with creamy flares, and the 100mm Close-Up Portrait for ZEISS Planar Style Bokeh with classic effects.
For the first time in the V series, V70 brings 4K 60 fps Video for cinematic, silky-smooth footage and top-tier video capabilities. V70 also introduces AI Audio Noise Eraser, which offers an additional level of creative control in post-editing by detecting different sound types and selectively removing unwanted sounds from the recordings.
V70 elevates creativity even further with AI-powered tools that simplify tuning and post-editing right on the device, perfect for travel photography. Features like AI Magic Weather can transform cloudy skies into sun glow, remove passersby, and correct tilted shots. Users can also explore AI Magic Landscape, freely switching among diverse geographical themes to create stunning travel portraits that highlight both the subject and the surrounding scenery. AI Retouch offers advanced one-tap fixes, including AI Erase, AI Magic Move, AI Image Expander, and AI Colour Adjustment.
Strength meets premium design for a stylish new look
V70 embraces a new aesthetic with a premium, Aerospace‑Grade Aluminium Alloy Frame, near‑perfect rounded corners and ultra‑thin‑bezel flat display for a sleek silhouette; on the back, a low‑profile Flagship Metallic Camera Module maintains a smooth, clean, and understated look.
On the front, ultra‑thin bezels of only 1.25mm frame the 6.59‑inch 4 1.5K Ultra Clear OLED Display that runs at 120Hz with 459 PPI for ultra-clear, realistic and smooth visuals. In combination with the new OriginOS Flip Cards, that relies on the gyroscope to change the lock screen wallpaper when tilted, the display offers another way for users to showcase their individuality. Underneath, a 3D Ultrasonic Fingerprint Scanning 2.0 is added for quicker and more secure unlocking, even with wet fingers.
The back panel is designed to be fingerprint- and scratch-resistant using etched AG glass. V70 introduces a beautiful new colourway with Sandalwood Brown. It is crafted using a specialised chemical etching process to form micron-scale texture on the glass, resulting in flowing highlights that appear and fade across the surface for a unique, playful look. V70 also comes in Authentic Black.
V70 is built to last with IP68 and IP69 Top-Rated Dust and Water Resistance, and 10-Facet Drop Resistance, withstanding accidental drops from up to 1.8m.
Smarter and more intuitive OriginOS, built with security in mind
V70 is powered by vivo’s latest OriginOS 6, bringing smarter performance through deep AI–OS integration to boost everyday productivity, while its enhanced security gives users full control over their privacy. With a fully rebuilt infrastructure and Origin Smooth Engine, the system looks, feels and stays smooth, while multi‑scenario connectivity allows effortless sharing and collaboration across devices and apps.
OriginOS 6 introduces Origin Island, a dynamic capsule at the top of the screen that surfaces information relevant in the moment to boost convenience. It also speeds up common tasks with added features like Copy & Go and Drag & Go, and Suggestion Island that recognise context and intent.
OriginOS 6 also supports other AI-powered productivity tools for work, study, and daily tasks. With AI Search, users can simply use natural language search to instantly reach the documents, notes or settings they want to access. AI Creation accelerates writing tasks, and for meetings, AI Captions offers real‑time transcription, translation, as well as one‑tap summaries. Additionally, Gemini Assistant with Google provides personalised, real-time assistance via natural chat.
Convenience continues with seamless cross-device sharing options, such as One‑Tap Transfer between vivo phones, or between vivo phones and supported iPhone models. The new vivo Office Kit offers streamlined cross-device file transfer and task handoff, enabling easy data transfer and file sharing between phone and computer for a smoother cross-device workflow.
Designed with security and longevity in mind, OriginOS 6 is backed by four generations of OS upgrades and six years of security updates, as well as security certifications from leading global authorities. Privacy is further enhanced through Private Space, a fully isolated, personal environment for storing important or confidential information and apps.
Smooth performance, reliable in every situation
V70 delivers strong performance for gaming, smooth photo and video editing, and seamless multitasking. It uses LPDDR5X high-performance memory and UFS 4.1 storage for faster app launches and file access, and a 4,200mm² ultra‑large vapour chamber, the largest ever in the V Series, for intelligent thermal management that keeps performance steady.
A large 6,500mAh BlueVolt Battery ensures reliable all‑day power, even in extreme hot or cold weather, and a 90W FlashCharge charger adds hours of use in just a few minutes.
Reliability is also extended to network connectivity with Dual‑Bridge Signal Concurrency and targeted network optimisations for congested environments. The innovative antenna design improves wall penetration and in-game signal stability.
Availability
Starting from 10 April 2026, V70 will be gradually rolled out across South Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle
East, Europe, and other markets. Availability, pricing, and specifications may vary according to local market conditions and consumer preferences. For more information, please visit vivo.com/za.
