With moments captured in Optical Brilliance, ZEISS and vivo proudly showcased their newest phone to Filipinos.

Innovation and digital style collided at the Okada Grand Ballroom last September 18—a collaboration that delivers the much-needed function and fashion that Filipinos need on the daily. This is the vivo V40, the newest mobile phone that is bound to capture our needs as well as great photos in collaboration with ZEISS.

ZEISS Brand Partnerships Manager Franziska Hoffman also joined the event to share the tale of how ZEISS and vivo met. Decades of passion for professional photography & cinematography led them to the present, where vivo lived a life just as long full of innovation and digital elegance.

Touted as the newest answer to both long-lasting battery life and fashionable futurism, the vivo Watch 3 held two striking qualities: a long battery life that can last up to 16 days, and an improved health monitoring system. Although its release date has yet to be announced, its Asteroid Black and Moonlight White models are retailing for PHP 13,000 and PHP 14,000, respectively.

The Phone for the Stars

Proving the phone’s star power, celebrities Maine Mendoza, Robert Horry, and Anne Curtis joined the attendees for some fun games during the program. Three lucky winners also got ahold of the new V40 to kickstart their vivo journey.
