After months of rumors and leaks, Vivo has finally unveiled the X80 series with quite a few surprises including the debut of the X80 Pro+. The high-end version is expected to launch sometime in Q3 this year.
Pre-orders for both Vivo X80 and X80 Pro have already begun, while shipment will start on April 29.
Vivo X80 Pro
Design & Display
The phone comes with a flagship-grade 6.78-inch display that uses Samsung’s E5 LTPO2 AMOLED display with Quad HD+ resolution and granular refresh rate adjustments, varying between 1Hz to 120Hz. It is also reportedly more responsive and power-efficient than its predecessors.
Vivo X80 Pro comes with an ultrasonic fingerprint reader under the display, which is available through only a handful of OEMs.
The phone will be available in Black, Orange, and Green colors. Depending on the color options, users will get AG glass, vegan leather, or a ceramic back, respectively.
Internals & Storage
Vivo has released the X80 Pro with two different chipsets. One variant comes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 while the other is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000. However, since it was recently announced, it is unclear which version will be available globally.
The Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered device will come with 8GB or 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of internal storage. While the Dimensity 9000-powered Vivo X80 Pro will only come with 12GB of RAM.

The device boots the Android 12-based OriginOS Ocean out of the box.

All cameras come with a Zeiss T* lens coating similar to the X70 series and use the latest Vivo V1 ISP chip.
