An official Vivo video sample shows how well the LOFIC-based main camera of the X500 Pro Max performs compared with a non-LOFIC sensor.
Vivo calls the LOFIC-based sensor technology in the upcoming X500 Pro flagships "Super Dynamic Zeiss Main Camera." A new video sample demonstrates how this Sony Lytia L910 sensors 17EV dynamic range optimizes portrait scenes in front of sunsets, for example.

Ahead of the upcoming IFA weekend in Berlin, Vivo product manager Han Boxiao spent some time promoting the upcoming Zeiss camera flagships from China yet again, which are also expected in global markets like Europe, a few weeks from now. A short video sample is supposed to demonstrate how a typical portrait scene with a beautiful sunset in the background profits from the increased dynamic range of the LOFIC-based "Super Dynamic Zeiss main camera". Although the smartphone used for comparison is not revealed, it clearly offers a significantly less impressive dynamic range.
 

LOFIC in the Sony Lytia L910 delivers 17EV dynamic range

It is apparent that not only the darker areas in the model's face but also the bright areas in the background are better exposed without disappearing into shadow or becoming overexposed. In a lengthy Weibo post , Han Boxiao calls the exciting technology based on the Sony Lytia L910 sensor by name and promises that the advertised 17EV dynamic range can actually be achieved in real-world use, while the theoretical maximum is said to be as high as 18EV. According to Vivo, the Full Well Capacity (FWE) is said to be 250e, compared to 150e with competing technologies. Vivo also promises 30 percent lower energy consumption when recording in 4K, as well as extremely low readout noise values of 0.75e. According to Vivo, comparable sensors achieve 1.5–2e.
