The up-and-coming smartphone manufacturer vivo has not yet dared to venture into the expensive flagship segment. With the new Vivo X80 Pro, they want to do things differently and install flagship hardware at a flagship price. What can the new smartphone do on paper?
Before we in TechnikNews will soon provide a detailed first impression and a hands-on, we will take a look at the smartphone on paper. In order to be able to compete with the best in the future, the company is relying on the 5G-capable Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 from Qualcomm. Together with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, the Vivo X80 Pro is at its best.

Despite its 4.700 mAh battery, the smartphone can be charged from 80 to 36 in 0 minutes via 100W FlashCharge technology. Up to 50 watts of wireless battery charging is possible. Incidentally, the FlashCharge charger will be included as standard.
As before, the camera is also being worked on with partner ZEISS. Overall, you build a 6,78-inch (3200 x 1440, WQHD+) smartphone with four camera lenses on the back. The lenses each have a resolution of 50 megapixels (f/1.57), 48 MP (f/2.2), 12 MP (f/1.85) and 8 MP (f/3.4). On the front, the user is greeted by a 32 MP (f/2.45) resolution camera.
A camera smartphone
For the first time, the smartphone offers film-style video modes: the ZEISS Cinematic Video Bokeh function creates an oval bokeh in the film standard aspect ratio of 2,39:1 and thus a widescreen cinematic lens effect. With the ZEISS Superb Night Camera, the night scene effects of the previous model have been further improved, for example the Pure Night View.

In order to further improve the camera quality, the main camera uses a so-called "GNV" sensor to reduce reflections and scattered light. The vivo V1+, the in-house imaging chip, processes all the material.
Stereo speakers, HDR and more
Extras worth mentioning are connectivity such as Bluetooth 5.2, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n/a/ac/ax, 2.4GHz / 5GHz MIMO, with Wi-Fi6 support. For the best entertainment, there are also dual stereo speakers, "Ultra Large Liquid Cooling" for a cool smartphone head during gaming and use, dual SIM function and an AMOLED HDR10+ display. The Vivo X80 Pro weighs 219 grams and has dimensions of 164,57 x 75,30 x 9,10 mm.
Furthermore, the refresh rate is up to 120Hz, the display brightness up to 1.500 nits and IP68 certification. What a surprise: the scope of delivery includes the adapter itself, a USB-C cable, a USB-C headset and a case. So many included accessories is a rarity these days.
Prices and availability
The Vivo X80 Pro will be available in the color “Cosmic Black” in Germany and Austria from July 07, 2022. It can then be purchased from the usual local retailers and of course from online stores. The price of the smartphone is 1.099 euros in Austria and 1.299 euros in Germany.
