Make Christmas More Vivid for the Family with These vivo Smartphones

The Philippines unashamedly celebrates one of the longest Christmas seasons in the world, starting from the first day of September until February. We are not complaining. The longer the Christmas season means the more ample time that we have for us to save money and buy gifts for our cherished ones, especially members of the family.

vivo V25 Series 

In the age of relentless social media activity and rapid digital content creation, what could be a better gift than a smartphone? Auspiciously, renowned smartphone maker vivo is bringing to the table its array of smartphones designed to meet the needs and wants of users just in time for the gift-giving season and let family members celebrate this year a “Paskong La Vivo Loca”.

vivo V25 Pro

Dubbed the “Night Vision Device”, the vivo V25 Pro is perfect for family members who are into mobile photography and content creation. Never miss capturing the charm of Simbang Gabi and Noche Buena with the V25 Pro with its 64MP OIS Ultra-Sensing camera with extreme night vision and 32MP Eye AF Selfie camera, which allow users to capture brilliant photos and record videos even at low light settings.

In addition, the V25 Pro comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 1300 chip, 20GB Dynamic RAM, 256GB onboard storage, and an all-day battery with the 66W FlashCharge feature so users do not have to worry about failing to run multiple apps and running out of storage or battery while capturing images and turning them out into exciting content this holiday season.  

An inherent feature among V25 series smartphones, the V25 Pro features vivo’s exclusive Photochromic 2.0 Technology, which allows the smartphone to change in color when exposed to UV light. With this feature, users can personalize their phone with festive patterns, such as Christmas trees or snowflakes, for a trendy look this Christmas.

With more bright and colorful lights emerging at night this holiday season, the V25 is a suitable companion to bring and capture the festivities of the season.
