I had been looking forward tot he launch of this smartphone is India for a while and now it finally has and I must say, the specs and features are rather impressive. In my opinion the most obvious highlight of the Vivo X80 is the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC, which makes its debut with the Vivo X80 in India. This 4nm SoC runs at a maximum clock speed of 3.05GHz. The Vivo X80 has launched in two variants. The base one has 8GB RAM and 128GB of storage and is priced at Rs. 54,999. The second variant has 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage and is priced at Rs. 59,999.

The Vivo X80 has a 6.78-inch E5 AMOLED display but it’s not based on LTPO technology, like the one the more expensive X80 Pro has. It sports a full-HD+ resolution, has a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and a maximum touch sampling rate of 240Hz. As for the cameras, the Vivo X80 debuts Sony’s new 50-megapixel IMX866 sensor which has an RGBW pixel arrangement and optical image stabilisation (OIS). Vivo claims that this allows for greater light sensitivity for better low-light photos and video. There is also a massive 4500mAh battery which can be charged rapidly using the bundled 80W charger.
