Chinese smartphone brand vivo has announced the launch of its X60 Pro 5G flagship device, which is customised for professional photography as it marks the beginning of collaboration with global imaging leader ZEISS.

A statement from the company said the X60 Pro 5G was designed for shake-free photos and would be available for pre-order from 3 June at a price of $1099. The official sale date is 17 June.

The partnership with ZEISS was announced in December last year.

"Smartphones have become an important part of our lives not just in maintaining friendships and staying connected, but also as a source of inspiration and creativity" said vivo Australia communications manager Laura Hayward.

"Captured memories are often ruined with blurry imagery and shaky footage. The X60 Pro solves this with a built-in Gimbal Stabiliser.

"The technology counteracts hand movements, so Aussies can experience a steady shot every time, whether it's a spontaneous moment or a live action event the X60 Pro will capture it in perfect clarity - bringing us all a little closer."
