The vivo Y36 is one of the cheapest smartphones in vivo’s line-up. It offers decent value for money and can even please content creators who want to snap creative photos using a budget-friendly smartphone.
vivo equipped the vivo Y36 with a dual camera setup on the back that consists of a sharp 50-megapixel main camera with Super Night Algorithm, together with a 2-megapixel depth sensor. A sharp 16-megapixel selfie camera is placed on the front.
But more than the hardware, the camera is joined by special software features that let you produce creative content. Today, we’ll show you how to take advantage of them.
Capture the beauty of the night with the 50-megapixel Super Night Algorithm
The vivo Y36 has a 50-megapixel main camera with a Super Night Algorithm, which you can easily enable by using the Night Mode in the camera app. Compared to the traditional Photo Mode, low-light shots would look brighter and more colorful on this one, resulting in a more Instagram-ready image.
Snap DSLR-like photos with the depth sensor
Aside from the 50-megapixel main camera, the vivo Y36 features a 2-megapixel depth sensor that helps analyze which is the subject and the background in a scene.
You can use it by enabling the Portrait Mode in the camera app and pressing the “F” icon to adjust the bokeh intensity. We suggest going in the middle, so the background blur doesn’t look too strong and unrealistic.
Spice things up with portrait lighting effects
Portrait Mode is a clever way to make your smartphone photos look more professional and DSLR-like. vivo took things to the next level with Portrait Lighting Effects. This adds artificial lighting effects to your photos by simply tapping the three-circle icon on the camera app. The same feature also works with selfies.
Take vibrant selfies even at night with Aura Screen light
Taking a night stroll? Hanging with friends at a bar? Don’t let the lack of natural light ruin your selfies. The vivo Y36 comes with an Aura Screen light feature so you don’t have to suffer from poor-lit and grainy low-light selfies.
You can easily access it by tapping the Flash icon on the top left of the camera app and choosing Auto or Aura Always On. We suggest using the latter as it allows you to tune your pose better to match the diffused light, which is provided by the device’s large 6.64-inch display.
Even without effects, the vivo Y36 certainly can shoot
We know it can take creative shots, even at night. So, it’s no surprise that the vivo Y36 can take great photos under normal conditions. After all, it’s a sharp 50-megapixel sensor, which is paired with a bright f/1.8 aperture.
Together with the snappy Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 processor and a large 256GB of storage, you won’t miss spontaneous moments and hoard a lot of memories without running out of space.
To snap beautiful photos like the ones we took below all you have to do is, well, simply launch the camera app and start shooting.
Make content in style
There are two things creators love to see on their smartphones: a camera that can capture content well, and a design that matches their creative lifestyle.
The vivo Y36 comes has a unique pattern on the back that surely makes it standout, a comfortable 2.5D curved design, and a fluorite anti-glare glass that gives it a premium look and feel.
These are the things that the vivo Y36 can provide to unleash your creativity, even if you’re on a budget. Get it at vivo stores both online and offline for only Php12,999.
