We have a winner – Vivo X80 Pro convinced 1 of 3 readers to choose to support him in a poll last week. That number can multiply, given the right price. This phone is only available in China now, but it changes – the current global launch (May 8). Last year the X70 Pro was launched on ₹ 47,000 ($ 630/€ 545 at that time).
The potential problem for prospective buyers is that Vivo tends to focus on the Asian market and does not bring its mainstay to all markets in (MIS. Europe still sees the X60 Pro, X70 Pro does not exist anywhere there is no place to be seen half a year later).
In addition, the AMOLED LTPO 120Hz panel is sharp, Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Dimensity 9000 chipset, special camera hardware including the Samsung 1/1.3 “(50 MP) and Vivo V1+ ISP, plus further image stabilization, not to mention fast charging ( 80W Wired, 50W Wireless) has their fans.
As far as criticism leaves, people complain about its size – Display 6.78 “will never attract everyone. The Periscope camera also attracted some complaints, some thought that the 5X optical enlargement was not enough (hoping for 10x), the others said that the higher resolution sensor would be better (8 MP sensor was what the cellphone had behind the periscope). There are ordinary complaints from “No Headphone Jack” and “No MicroSD Slot”, which is a constant choir at this time.
Although 33% is cheaper while still offering 9000 dimension and AMOLED 120 Hz chipset, reduction to the screen (FHD+ Resolution instead of QHD+, there are no LTPO panels too) and the camera makes the X80 choices that are quite unpopular. The discussion in the comments focused on the Pro model, is clearly the star of the series.
Finally, Pro is not the culmination of the X80 – X80 Pro+ series will come in Q3 this year. Worth waiting for? There is no way to say it, but the X80 Pro is here today and is very popular.
