ThevVivo X70 Pro+ launched globally last week. We haven't heard of its official pricing just yet, but we got a taste of what it would be capable off, at least on paper. The powerful flagship will come with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 888+ SoC platform. It will also come with a 50MP sensor under a Zeiss lens. At the same time, the vivo X70 Pro+ comes with a 48MP shooter with an on-board gimbal for an ultra-steady, ultra-wide shots. Photos are all processed through vivo's own Imaging Chip V1, which is vivo's standalone image processor, relieving the stresses of image processing from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888+ for improved performance on the end of photo taking and even everyday operations. 
The thing is, as good as it sounds, the vivo X70 Pro+ does not sound like much in terms of innovation. Its predecessor was the first in its class to offer a gimbal stabilised camera within the smartphone housing. They were the first manufacturer to introduce technologies like in-display fingerprint sensor and even pop-up selfie cameras. The new flagship, compared to its predecessors, feels a little half-baked. 
That got us thinking, has innovations n smartphones stagnated? Are there more innovations to come other than folding displays and stabilised cameras? All this and more in this episode of #TechnTonicPodcast.
