Vivo has finally made the X80 series official in China. The new flagship series comprises the Vivo X80 and the X80 Pro. Both come with ZEISS-backed cameras, Vivo’s V1+ imaging chip, support for flagship MediaTek and Qualcomm chipsets, and a lot more. Here’s a look at what the new Vivo X80 series brings to the table.

The Vivo X80 Pro adopts a new design and features a big circular rear camera hump placed in a rectangular slab at the top portion. Apart from the classic black, it comes in bright orange and blue colorways.

This is accompanied by a 50MP Samsung GNV sensor with OIS, a 48MP ultra-wide lens, a 12MP portrait lens, and an 8MP periscope lens with OIS support. The front camera stands at 32MP. This whole system also has the V1+ ISP, which uses AI to reduce noise, display effect optimization, and MEMC dynamic frame insertion.

The smartphone gets its juice from a 4,700mAh battery, which supports 80W fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. There’s support for a PD fast charging cable to charge other USB Type-C-supported devices. It runs OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12. Other details include IP68 water resistance, an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, dual stereo speakers, X-axis linear motor, a large VC cooling system, and various gaming features (GPU Fusion Super Score, Dynamic Power Saving), among others.

The Vivo X80 is the vanilla model, which looks similar to the Pro variant, but comes with changes in the display and camera department, no IP68 rating, and more. It has the same 6.78-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED display, which is curved for this model. The display supports a 120Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 1500 bits, a DCI-P3 wide color gamut, and more. It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. You can get up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The phone houses three rear cameras, including a 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX866 RGB sensor (a first for a phone) and OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide lens, and a 12MP portrait lens. This comes along with a 32MP selfie shooter. The ZEISS T* coating, enhanced night mode, ZEISS Cinematic Bokeh, ZEISS Natural Color 2.0, and more can be used.
