The iPhone 14 Pro is not a revolution but it is an amazing upgrade if compared to its predecessor from the 13 series. It brings several important new things such as Dynamic Island and a new great camera. But this does not necessarily mean that it is the most advanced phone on the market. A lot of people are very confused about the smartphone they should choose after the release of the new Apple devices. That is the reason why we are publishing a lot of comparisons with the new Apple Pro iPhone inside. There are still several other flagships at the same level, so let’s go ahead with another article. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the iPhone 14 Pro and the Vivo X80 Pro, one of the biggest surprises of this year due to its astonishing camera department with Zeiss lenses.

Design
The iPhone is an icon, but the Vivo X80 Pro does not joke. Its design is simply amazing due to several aspects. First of all, it comes with a curved edge to edge display on the front, with a very high screen to body ratio. You can choose among several color options, including one with a ceramic back and one with a leather back! And it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. On the other hand, the iPhone 14 Pro sports an amazing look and stunning build quality as well. It is made with a Ceramic Shield back and a stainless steel frame, and it has better water resistance with the IP68 certification, it is able to withstand water up to 6 meters deep instead of just 1.5 meters. It comes with the new Dynamic Island instead of the old notch and it comes with very narrow bezels sporting the same thickness on all the sides.
Display
The displays of these two phones are very close to each other and it is very hard to choose the best. I would personally go for the Vivo X80 Pro just for its wider diagonal which makes it more suitable for productivity and gaming, at 6.78 inches. There will be definitely a better phone in terms of image quality, but the differences are marginal. The Vivo X80 Pro has an AMOLED display able to show up to one billion colors with a Quad HD+ resolution of 1440 x 3200 pixels, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. The iPhone 14 Pro is equipped with a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display with a resolution of 1179 x 2556 pixels (you can consider it as Full HD+), a 120 Hz refresh rate, HDR10, and Dolby Vision. The iPhone provides higher brightness as it is able to reach 2,000 nits instead of just 1,500 nits.
Specs & Software
These two handsets are very close to each other even when it comes to hardware and performance, even though the iPhone 14 Pro should provide something more thanks to the amazing optimization of the iOS 16 operating system. It is powered by the Apple A16 Bionic mobile platform built with a 4 nm production process and sporting an hexa-core architecture composed of two Everest performance cores running at a max frequency of 3.46 GHz, four Sawtooth energy cores running at 2.02 GHz, and an Apple GPU with 5 cores. Alongside the Apple A16 Bionic, there are 6 GB of RAM and up to 1 TB of native storage. The Vivo X80 Pro has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset built at 4 nm with an octa-core architecture and a max frequency of 3 GHz, but there is also a variant with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset running at a max frequency of 3.05 GHz. The memory configurations offer up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of native UFS 3.1 storage.
Camera
The Vivo X80 Pro looks better in terms of cameras and it should be way more versatile when it comes to photography. It has a 50 MP main sensor with OIS, an 8 MP periscope telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto camera for portraits with 2x optical zoom and gimbal OIS, and a 48 MP ultrawide sensor, all with Zeiss lenses. The iPhone 14 Pro has a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor with OIS and a pair of 12 MP cameras for optical zoom and ultrawide shoots.
Battery
The battery of the Vivo X80 Pro is much bigger than the one found on the iPhone 14 Pro: it has a capacity of 4700 mAh. Further, it is able to charge quicker thanks to 80W fast charging and 50W wireless charging.
Price
The starting prices of the Vivo X80 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro are €1300 and $1300 in the global market, but the X80 Pro can be found at more affordable street prices. Which one would you pick?
