Now, a GSMArena report citing industry sources reveals that a new X-series device is on its way to launch in September. The report mentions that it won’t be an iterative upgrade over the existing X80 models. So, we are likely looking at the rumored Vivo X80 Pro+.

A couple of months back, we reported that the Vivo X80 Pro+ might debut around the month of October. The device is said to have the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset rather than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC featured in the X80 Pro. For those unaware, the newer Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset is based on TSMC’s 4nm process and boasts up to 30% energy efficiency over its predecessor. It also runs relatively cooler that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which is known to have numerous thermal management issues.

The device is expected to have a quad-camera array consisting of a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 48-megapixel Sony IMX598 sensor, a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 sensor, and a 50-megapixel Samsung JN2 sensor.

According to previous reports, the smartphone will have a 6.8-inch 2K AMOLED display with a 120H refresh rate. It is also anticipated to offer 120W fast charging.
