The much-awaited Vivo X30 series was finally unveiled at a launch event in China. The phone maker today introduced its first smartphone powered by a 5G integrated chipset, which is the Samsung Exynos 980. Both the Vivo X30 and X30 Pro feature this chipset, along with the tiniest punch-hole camera design, quad rear-cameras, and Flash Charge support.
Starting off with the design, Vivo X30 and X30 Pro boast a glass sandwich build with an aluminum frame. This would provide the users with a premium and comfortable in-hand feel. There’s a vertical quad-camera onboard but the fourth camera sits outside to avoid massive camera bumps or odd-looking rectangular cutouts in the process.
The highlight of the Vivo X30 series will have to be its cameras. There’s a quad-camera system available aboard both the X30 and X30 Pro, but with minor differences in tow. The latter boasts “one of the most versatile smartphone cameras” though — on par with the recently launched penta-camera Mi Note 10. All the lenses together provide a focal range of 16mm to 135mm on the Vivo X30 Pro.
As for the Vivo X30, it boasts the same camera setup as the Pro variant, minus the 60x telephoto lens. It only supports up to 20x digital zoom – similar to the Oppo Reno 2 and Realme X2 Pro. All three share a common parent in BBK Electronics. The Vivo X30 series comes equipped with a 4,250mAh battery pack, along with support for the company’s 33W Flash Charge technology.
Vivo X30 has been priced starting at 3298 yuan (around Rs. 33,500) for the base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. You will have to shell out 3598 yuan (Rs. 36,500) for 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. There’s no memory bump on this variant, as some of you may have expected.
