Anne Curtis Shares How the vivo V80 Captures Travel Moments and Everyday Memories

Actress and vivo celebrity ambassador Anne Curtis shared how the vivo V80 complements her passion for photography, travel, and everyday life during the smartphone’s grand launch at Grand Hyatt Manila on October 30, 2026.

During a conversation with hosts KC Montero and Nicole Anderson, Curtis discussed capturing spontaneous moments, taking portraits, and finding a smartphone that keeps up with her busy schedule as an actress, traveler, and mother.

For Curtis, photography goes beyond creating picture-perfect images. While she enjoys photographing landscapes, city lights, sunsets, and food, she believes some of the most memorable photographs are those taken naturally.

“The best photos aren’t the ones planned, aren’t set up, aren’t pa-aesthetic. It’s the ones that come out naturally,” Curtis said, sharing her approach to photography while traveling.

Her photography routine involves switching between being behind and in front of the camera. As a mother, she enjoys documenting family milestones and everyday moments while making sure she gets the shots she wants when someone else takes her picture.

Capturing Portraits with the vivo V80

The vivo V80 features a 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera with ZEISS 85mm and 100mm Center-Stage Portrait options, designed to deliver portrait photography experiences.

When asked to choose her preferred setting, Curtis selected the ZEISS 100mm Center-Stage Portrait option, particularly for its ability to isolate subjects and create a soft, dreamy background.

She explained that the feature is especially useful in crowded destinations, letting her minimize background distractions and focus on the subject.

“It’s so hard to choose one (between ZEISS 85mm or 100mm Center-Stage Portraits), especially when you’re in a crowded location. You kind of just want to make sure that you clean out the noise and make it a beautiful shot without too many distractions in the background,” she said.

For travelers who enjoy taking portraits at popular tourist attractions, this feature offers an extra way to create more focused photos while exploring busy destinations.

Battery Life for Travel and Everyday Adventures

Beyond photography, Curtis emphasized the importance of battery life, especially when balancing professional commitments, family activities, and travel.

The vivo V80 comes with a 7200mAh BlueVolt battery, which she said gives her more flexibility for photos, videos, and navigating unfamiliar destinations throughout the day.

“It’s super important, especially in my line of work. It’s so inconvenient to always carry a power bank. It’s also a hassle if you have to keep looking for a socket,” Curtis said.

“You can spend time making memories and less time worrying about your battery.”

For travelers, a dependable smartphone battery can be particularly useful during sightseeing, road trips, and long days exploring destinations where charging opportunities may be limited.

A Smartphone Companion for Outdoor Adventures

Curtis also highlighted the vivo V80’s IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, particularly for outdoor activities and beach trips.

As someone who takes pride in the Philippines’ beaches, she said the added protection gives her peace of mind when taking her smartphone on outdoor adventures.

Her experience filming on location has also made durability an important consideration. Working in different environments often exposes smartphones and other equipment to varying outdoor conditions.

These features reflect the practical considerations travelers and content creators look for when choosing a smartphone for everyday use and adventures.

vivo V80 Grand Launch and Holiday Promotions

Following the interview, Curtis joined vivo executives in hanging vivo V80 devices and the upcoming vivo X500 Pro Max as part of the company’s approaching holiday promotion.

“Anne’s experience reflects how people use their smartphones beyond taking pictures, from documenting family milestones and traveling to managing the demands of a full day. With the vivo V80, we want to give users practical features that support these everyday experiences,” said Liu Lu, vivo Philippines Brand Marketing Director.

The grand launch brought together media representatives, partners, and guests to introduce the smartphone’s features, with Curtis sharing how they fit into her lifestyle.

The event also highlighted the growing role of smartphone photography in documenting personal experiences, family milestones, and everyday adventures.
