Vivo packs a retractable 32-megapixel front camera into its V15 Pro smartphone. The device has three cameras on the back and the primary camera has a 48-megapixel sensor. The phone will be presented on February 20.

Vivo used an 8-megapixel camera on the Nex, while the V15 Pro has a 32-megapixel camera. according to a teaser video on Twitter.

In a other video Vivo India’s Twitter account reveals that the Vivo V15 Pro will have three rear cameras. It is not yet known what functionality the cameras will get, but behind one of the lenses is a 48-megapixel sensor. The effective resolution, according to the video, is 12 megapixels, which indicates the combination of four pixels for better low-light performance. Vivo is likely to use the Sony IMX586 sensor, which was announced last year. That sensor can also be found in the Honor View 20 and according to rumors, the Xiaomi Mi 9 will receive the same image chip.

The screen would be a 6.4″ OLED panel, with a resolution of 2316×1080 pixels. Vivo will present the V15 Pro on February 20, a week before the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona starts. Whether the smartphone comes to the Benelux, is not yet known.
