Optical Image Stabilization now featured on the front camera with outstanding night vision

Capturing pristine night shots,action shots and 4K videos,this front camera is designed to create a versatile imagery experience,even in environments where lighting is limited. The AI Night Portrait features a powerful AI algorithm which reduces noise in dark environments,enables better focus and clarity for faces,while the OIS stabilizes the camera to enable greater light exposure.

Furthermore,the Dual Selfie Spotlight combines both the screen's soft light and built-in front flashes which are exquisitely engineered into the edge of the display screen to make it even easier to capture great night photos and videos.

The V21 and V21 5G also feature a top-notch 64MP OIS rear camera,supported by a set of secondary cameras to handle wide angle and more complex shots,as well as macro photography. Embedded in the smartphones are other creative features such as a dual-view option which records videos from both sides of the smartphone,advanced AI to augment facial features and a Double Exposure Function to let users' creativity shine through.

This unique package of features makes the V21 series an ideal companion for an ultra-stable and smooth vlogging experience,through which users can interact with friends and family in any environment.
