The Vivo V17 Pro has two pop-up selfie cameras and four more around the back

Chinese tech company Vivo has unveiled a new smartphone with not one, but two pop-up selfie cameras. Pitched as a mid-to-high end flagship device, the V17 Pro ($425) has six cameras in total, including two front-facing 32MP and 8MP lenses which are packed into what’s officially known as the Dual Elevating Front Camera. Yeah, it’s a bit of a mouthful. Around the back the V17 Pro features a 48MP main camera alongside a 13MP telephoto lens, 8MP wide-angle lens, and a 2MP portrait lens. That wide-angle also doubles up as a macro lens, and is capable of snapping objects from just 2.5cm away. Aside from its sumptuous snapper, the V17 Pro also impresses with a 6.44in FHD+ display, Snapdragon 675 processor, 8GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4100mAh fast-charging battery that’ll provide two days of charge. Blimey.

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
