The vivo V80’s AI Creative Camera is being positioned as a way to change a photo’s lighting and atmosphere without a separate editing process. In a Manila release, vivo said the feature works on newly captured photos as well as images already stored in the phone’s gallery.
The V80 AI Creative Camera includes styles such as Underwater, Top Light and Sunlight. vivo said ENHYPEN members JUNGWON, JAKE and SUNGHOON demonstrate the effects, using them to turn simple shots into images with different visual moods.
Camera and gallery options
For new photos, vivo’s instructions say users should open the Camera app, swipe left on the camera mode bar and select AI Creation. Tapping the AI icon in the lower-right corner then shows the available AI styles.
The company lists Sunlight under AI Styles > Travel and Top Light under AI Styles > Stage. vivo says there are additional styles available through the feature.
The V80 AI Creative Camera can also be applied to photos already saved in the gallery, according to the release. Users can open the Album app, select an image, tap AI Creation in the upper-left corner, choose a style and tap Generate to create an AI-enhanced version.
That gallery workflow is a notable part of vivo’s announcement: the tool is not limited to photos taken after the feature is opened in the camera app. The company says the feature can change the look of familiar images with effects ranging from dramatic lighting to warmer sunlight.
Price and pre-order offer
The vivo V80 starts at Php 42,999. vivo said it is available for pre-order until November 13, 2026 through vivo physical stores, the vivo e-store and the vivo Store app.
According to vivo, pre-order customers can receive a Php 2,000 discount, a limited-edition vivo Buds Air3 worth Php 1,799, Gold vivo membership privileges, six months of broken-screen insurance and warranty, and six months of 100GB Google One cloud storage for new users.
The V80 AI Creative Camera is part of vivo’s imaging-focused pitch for the phone, centered on changing a picture’s mood through selectable styles rather than complicated editing. vivo has sales networks across more than 60 countries and regions and says it is loved by more than 500 million users worldwide.
