The Vivo X80 series just hitten the shelves in China with two handsets, including the higher-end Vivo X80 Pro. This year there is no Pro Plus variant and it is rumored to be launched sometime in Q3 2022. That is the reason why the Vivo X80 Pro is not the most advanced flagship out there, and that is also the reason why it is a perfect rival to the OnePlus 10 Pro. While waiting for the launch of the Vivo flagship in the global market, through this comparison between the OnePlus 10 Pro and Vivo X80 Pro, we will tell you the main differences between the spec sheets of these two devices in order to let you understand which one is the best for your actual needs.

Design

The Vivo X80 Pro is more attractive in terms of design because of the materials chosen for its body. This handset comes in three color variants: one with a ceramic back, one with a classic glass back, and one with a vegan leather back. Further, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. The OnePlus 10 Pro is only available with a glass back and an aluminum frame, and it does not offer any certification against dust and water. Both the phones come with a curved screen, but the punch holes are placed in different positions. Note that the OnePlus 10 Pro is slightly more compact thanks to the presence of a smaller display.

 

Display

Talking about the displays, the Vivo X80 Pro is a bit more advanced. It features the LTPO 3.0 technology instead of the older LTPO 2.0, improving the energy consumption with an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. Further, the display includes an ultrasonic fingerprint reader that is more accurate than optical fingerprint scanners like the one of the OnePlus flagship. For the rest, these displays are pretty much the same: they are curved AMOLED panels with one billion colors, a Quad HD+ resolution, and the HDR10+ certification. Note that the OnePlus 10 Pro features better stereo speakers for an improved audio experience.

 

Specs & Software

These two phones are at the same level if we consider the hardware department. They are powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 mobile platform paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. But the Vivo X80 Pro has an additional variant fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. According to benchmarks, the Dimensity 9000 actually provides slightly higher performances if compared to the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The OnePlus 10 Pro runs Android 12 out of the box, customized by ColorOS 12.1 in China (OxygenOS 12 in the global market), which is actually better than the Origin OS customization found on the Vivo X80 Pro.

 

Camera

If you are looking for the most advanced camera phone, then your choice is the Vivo X80 Pro as it comes with better cameras. It has a 50 MP main sensor with gimbal OIS and laser autofocus, an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, a 12 MP telephoto sensor for portraits with 2x optical zoom, and a 48 MP ultrawide camera. The OnePlus 10 Pro has an inferior 48 MP main camera, it lacks a periscope sensor and replaces it with a telephoto lens with 3.3x optical zoom, and it adds a 50 MP ultrawide camera. While the ultrawide camera is superior to the one of its opponent, the rest of the camera setup loses the battle.

 

Battery

The OnePlus 10 Pro is equipped with a bigger battery sporting a capacity of 5000 mAh, and this is probably the most important advantage of the OnePlus 10 Pro over the Vivo X80 Pro. The charging technologies are exactly the same: 80W fast wired charging and 50W fast wireless charging.

 

Price

The OnePlus 10 Pro starts from €700/$739 in China, while the starting price of the Vivo X80 Pro in the country roughly translates into €800/$845. The Vivo X80 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its better cameras, waterproof design, and better display, but the OnePlus 10 Pro has a bigger battery. For the rest, they are very similar.
