It’s that time of the year when companies flood the market with flagship smartphones.

There’s also a OnePlus smartwatch expected alongside the flagships.

We already made a list of our best phones of the year 2020, which you should read if you have not. While we were compiling that list, there were some devices that we shortlisted but that didn’t make the final cut. It turns out that some of these devices can actually be classified as “underrated” as they didn’t make it out of China, got little attention when they were announced, or were overshadowed by other phones. So here is our list of the Most Underrated Phones of 2020.

Sony Xperia 5 II

Sony’s flagship phones usually get overshadowed by competitors for reasons such as price, features, or a combination of both, and the Xperia 5 II is a prime example. This 6.1-inch phone stands out in a market flooded with phones whose screens are just a few inches shy from entering the 7 inches turf. While it is as tall as a lot of other phones, no thanks to its 21:9 aspect ratio, this also means it is narrower making it more comfortable to hold.

The phone’s specs are good but when compared to the competition where you have phones with bigger batteries, faster-charging technologies, and more affordable price tags, then a compact-sized phone such as the Xperia 5 II will not be on your shortlist.

Meizu 17 Pro

This year, the Meizu 17 Pro was one of the two smartphones announced by the former top Chinese manufacturer; the other being the standard Meizu 17. This flagship is one of the best-designed phones announced this year.

Unlike most phones with a punch hole at the top left corner or center, the Meizu 17 Pro has its own at the top right corner. Not only does the hole have a really small diameter, but the bezels are also some of the thinnest you will find on a smartphone. Meizu completes the design with a ceramic back, horizontally arranged rear cameras, and a ring LED flash.

Even though it packed amazing specs out of the box, it got more features via OTA updates such as an increased refresh rate (from 90Hz to 120Hz) and video stabilization for all cameras. Unfortunately, the Meizu 17 Pro and its sibling, both gorgeous and with impressive specs, did not get a global release.

Vivo X50 Pro/Vivo X51 5G

Vivo is known for making phones with a premium design, impressive cameras, a mid-range chipset, and a high price tag, and the Vivo X50 Pro or Vivo X51 5G is one of such devices.

Its first-of-its-kind gimbal system brought a new type of stabilization to smartphone cameras. The whole 48MP quad-camera system is quite impressive and the camera arrangement is one we have seen other manufacturers copy. However, its high price tag, not unjustified for its pioneering technology, puts it in direct competition with more affordable flagships that offer a better all-round experience.

Redmi 10X Pro 5G

The Redmi 10X Pro 5G is a mid-range phone that packs features you will usually find on premium mid-range phones and flagships. This Dimensity 820 5G phone, which is exclusive to China, has a telephoto camera with OIS and 3x optical zoom! That is a big deal when you realize that flagships such as the Mi 10 5G and Mi 11 don’t have a telephoto camera but this sub $350 phone does.

Lenovo Legion Phone Duel

The Legion Phone Duel was Lenovo’s first gaming smartphone. It was also the first phone powered by a Snapdragon 865+ processor. For its first attempt, Lenovo did a lot of things differently. From adopting a side pop-up selfie camera to placing the rear cameras in an unusual position, and using two USB-C charging ports to achieve its 90W fast charging technology.

Like other gaming phones, the Legion Phone Duel has trigger buttons, RGB lights, a high refresh rate display, and great stereo speakers. While it did launch in Europe in October, gaming smartphones are still a niche category, so they usually get overshadowed by other flagships that pack better features overall and are not as expensive.

Nubia Play

The Nubia Play 5G launched in China in April, and on a spec by spec comparison, it is better than the OnePlus Nord which is our selection for the best budget 5G smartphone.

This 6.65-inch phone with a 144Hz AMOLED display, a Snapdragon 765G processor, 48MP quad rear cameras, and a 5100mAh battery with 30W fast charging had a launch price of ¥2399 (~$339 as of April) for the base model that has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage!

It did get a global launch but as the Red Magic 5G Lite and with some toned-down features such as a 120Hz refresh rate, 18W charging, and a much higher price tag.

Red Magic Lite / Nubia Play

Mi 10 Youth 5G

The Mi 10 Youth 5G launched in China as an affordable version of the Mi 10 series. Prior to its announcement, Xiaomi had announced an affordable Mi 10 phone called the Mi 10 Lite 5G that was only sold in international markets. Both the Mi 10 Lite 5G and Mi 10 Youth Edition share not only design almost the same specifications but Xiaomi gave the latter a camera upgrade in form of a periscope telephoto camera with OIS, 5x optical zoom, and 50X digital zoom.

The Mi 10 Youth 5G was supposed to launch in international markets as the Mi 10 Lite Zoom but that didn’t happen. We do not know if Xiaomi has canceled it or it decided to push the launch to next year.

DXOMARK recently unveiled a new category of testing for Smartphone Displays. Accordingly, the company covers sub-categories like legibility, color, video, motion, touch, and artifacts. After releasing reports of various devices, today, it has included the Vivo X51 to the Display ranking list.

In case you don’t know, Vivo X51 is a tweaked version of the X50 Pro. It launched in the UK, Europe back in October. Anyway, the device gets an overall DXOMARK score of 87. With this, it ties up with other flagships like iPhone 12 Pro and Galaxy S20 Ultra at the third spot. And misses out on the crown with just 2 points difference.

To compare’s the top spot is still held by the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra with 89 points. The report says the X51 mainly drops in Video and Touch categories. Overall, the device looks to perform well indoors with good readability. And although the brightness isn’t dealt well outdoors, it reportedly has a good blue light filter.

To recall, the iPhone 12 Pro had a strong Blue light filter that impacted the reading at night according to earlier DXOMARK testing. In any case, the Vivo X51 has a much bigger screen(aspect ratio: 20:9) compared to the iPhone 12 Pro(19.5:9). Let’s quickly look at the display specs of the former below:

• Size: 6.56-inch
• Dimensions: 158.5 x 72.8 x 8 mm
• Type: AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate
• Resolution: 1080 x 2376 pixels

To sum up, if you talk about the Pros and Cons, the Pros of Vivo X51 include good color reproduction(across all lighting), indoor brightness, motion-blur, and blue-light filter. However, it has some major Cons like Touch accuracy(gaming), lack of smoothness, outdoor brightness, video(darker HDR10 content).

Gone are the days in which you had to opt either for Samsung or Apple to get a top-tier flagship. Now, all the mainstream Chinese smartphones manufacturers have a top-tier option, and in 2020, these options became even more premium. Xiaomi released the Mi 10 Ultra for the Chinese market: one of the most stunning devices of this year. It is currently very hot, but is it the best Chinese flagship you can get? We tried to let you find out by making an in-depth specs comparison between Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and two other top-tier flagships released by Chinese manufacturers: Oppo Find X2 Pro and Vivo X50 Pro+.

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra vs OPPO Find X2 Pro vs Vivo X50 Pro+

Design

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is definitely a beautiful device, but OPPO Find X2 Pro and Vivo X50 Pro+ offer something more when it comes to aesthetics. They come in a very original variant boasting a vegan leather back, unlike all the other last-generation flagships. The OPPO Find X2 Pro is my favorite one because it has a less invasive camera module and more accurate details. It was launched in two color variant: a black one made of ceramic and an orange one made with vegan leather and aluminum. Which one would you pick?

Display

The most advanced display belongs to the OPPO Find X2 Pro: we are talking about a stunning 6.7-inch OLED panel with a Quad HD+ resolution which can display one billion colors thanks to its 10-bit architecture. The display supports a refresh rate up to 120 Hz and the HDR10+ certification. Its peak brightness is 1200 nits. Right after, not too distant, we got the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra with very similar specifications: the key difference is the resolution. While OPPO Find X2 Pro is the only one with a Quad HD+ display, the Mi 10 Ultra has a classic Full HD+ resolution.

Hardware/Software

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, Oppo Find X2 Pro and Vivo X50 Pro+ are all powered by the octa-core Snapdragon 865 mobile platform by Qualcomm. But on the paper, Mi 10 Ultra is slightly better due to its better memory configuration: the Xiaomi flagship boasts up to 16 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage, while Oppo Find X2 Pro and Vivo X50 Pro+ stop at 12 GB of RAM. All the handsets run Android 10 out of the box with a highly-customized user interface. All of them have flagship-class hardware and you will hardly notice the difference even with the most advanced usage scenarios.

Camera

According to the famous portal DxOMark, Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is the best camera phone ever. We did not test the cameras of these three devices thoroughly, but we know all of them are amazing camera phones. They boast an astonishing photo quality and, while the Oppo Find X2 Pro and the Mi 10 Ultra are more interesting for photos, Vivo X50 Pro+ looks more convincing when it comes to the videos, thanks to its gimbal-like stabilization.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra has the biggest battery (4500 mAh capacity) and even the fastest wired charging technology with a 120W power. Unlike the Oppo Find X2 Pro and the Vivo X50 Pro+, the Mi 10 Ultra supports both wireless charging (50W, one of the fastest wireless charging technologies) and reverse wireless charging.

Price

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is priced €645/$760 in its base variant in China, Vivo X50 Pro+ starts from €605/$711, and Oppo Find X2 Pro cost about €850/$1000. On the paper, it is a hard fight between Mi 10 Ultra and Oppo Find X2 Pro. The former has a bigger battery and more advanced charging technologies, while the latter has a better display and design. Further, it is waterproof, unlike the Mi 10 Ultra. Which one would you choose?

The post Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra vs OPPO Find X2 Pro vs Vivo X50 Pro+: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The newly-announced iQOO 5 Pro is one of the most original and powerful smartphones out there. A lot of people did not expect such a phone from a so young brand, but it came and it has all the potentialities to compete with the most advanced devices released from the best brands. The handset debuted in the Chinese market and we think there is no better way to understand its potentialities than comparing it with other Chinese-exclusive devices. iQOO is a brand launched by Vivo and the iQOO 5 Pro has a few important things in common with the Vivo X50 Pro+: that is why we decided to include it in this comparison. We also included the latest top-tier flagship by Xiaomi: the Mi 10 Ultra. Let’s discover who is better.

Vivo iQOO 5 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra vs Vivo X50 Pro+

Design

The iQOO 5 Pro and the Vivo X50 Pro+ offer a premium and unique design. The former debuted in a BMW Edition with two color variants: a carbon black version and a leather variant. The latter comes with a leather back as well, but it is not customized by a car manufacturer. On the other hand, it has a very elegant curved display. The most attractive devices are definitely iQOO 5 Pro and Vivo X50 Pro+. Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is still a premium device when it comes to the design, but it is a classic glass sandwich with an aluminum frame just like most of the flagships out there.

Display

In each case, you get amazing displays. All of these handsets feature an OLED panel with a Full HD+ resolution, a high 120 Hz refresh rate, the HDR10+ certification, and very high brightness. There is nothing negative to say about the displays. They are not the most advanced displays in the market, but they are great high-end panels. Given that there are only marginal differences between the displays of these phones, we recommend focusing on the other specifications instead of looking for the device with the best display. Note that Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra comes with stereo speakers, so it should provide better audio quality.

Hardware/Software

If we talk about hardware, we can tell you almost the same concept we told you in the previous paragraph of this comparison. iQOO 5 Pro, Vivo X50 Pro+, and Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra all feature a Snapdragon 865 chipset, as well as LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 native storage. In its most expensive configuration, Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra wins the hardware comparison because it offers more RAM (up to 16 GB) and more internal storage (up to 512 GB). All of these devices get Android 10 out of the box, but with different customized UIs.

Camera

Besides coming with flagship-class hardware, these three phones are also amazing camera phones. The Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra and the Vivo X50 Pro+ are actually superior to the iQOO 5 Pro, at least on the paper. They both look awesome with their incredible optical zoom capabilities, flagship-class sensors, and more. According to DxOMark, at this moment, the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is the best camera phone in the market. But DxOMark never reviewed a Vivo phone and we believe the X50 Pro+ with its gimbal camera will be a valid opponent.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra has a bigger battery and, given that it features similar components to its two rivals, it should last more on a single charge. Further, it has the fastest charging technology alongside the iQOO 5 Pro, with a 120W power. However, the iQOO 5 Pro will charge faster due to its smaller battery capacity. With the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra, you also get the fastest wireless charging technology with a 50W power.

Price

The starting price of the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra is $999/€841, Vivo X50 Pro+ begins at $790/€665, and iQOO 5 Pro starts from €610/$724. It costs more, but Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra looks like the most complete device of the trio. The iQOO 5 Pro wins the value for money award.

Vivo recently launched its latest high-end series and it is soon going to be available in the international market. For the first time, the latest X series is composed of three smartphones, including a flagship. We are talking about Vivo X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+. While the first twos are upper-midrange devices, the latter is a top-tier flagship with amazing features which also brings some kind of innovation to the shelves. In this comparison, you will learn the main differences between the new devices from the X50 series.

Vivo X50 vs Vivo X50 Pro vs Vivo X50 Pro+

Design

You should pay attention to this paragraph since there are important differences between the aesthetics of these three devices. Vivo X50 is the thinnest and lightest device of the trio, but it lacks a curved screen and the Pro variants come with a higher screen-to-body ratio. That is why X50 looks uglier than its siblings, despite being sleeker. Both X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ come with a curved screen and a very high screen-to-body ratio, but only the X50 Pro+ has a leather variant. If you love unique materials, then you should go for the X50 Pro+. But if you want a standard phone with a glass back and an aluminum frame, then X50 Pro is enough as it features almost the same design as the glass version of the X50 Pro+.

Display

Vivo X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+ all feature an amazing display. They come with a higher refresh rate, a great image quality thanks to the HDR10+ resolution and the AMOLED technology, and a Full HD+ resolution. There is only one single difference which lets the X50 Pro+ become the winner of this comparison: it has a higher refresh rate. While X50 and X50 Pro stop at 90 Hz, the  X50 Pro+ offers a 120 Hz refresh rate. In each case, you get a 6.56-inch diagonal, but as mentioned above, the X50 lacks a curved display, unlike its more expensive siblings.

Hardware/Software

When it comes to the hardware department, Vivo X50 and X50 Pro can be considered as upper-midrange smartphones, while the X50 Pro+ is a true flagship. Instead of the Snapdragon 765G, the Plus variant has a powerful Snapdragon 865 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. You get more power and better performance with intensive usage. Given that they belong to the same series of phones, these three handsets come with exactly the same software including Android 10 and the customized user interface Funtouch OS 10.

Camera

With the Vivo X50 Pro+, you get the best camera department with a better main sensor for the rear camera. Both X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ support gimbal OIS, a new stabilization technology that is actually better than classic OIS systems. X50 Pro and X50 Pro+ have the same secondary sensors and the same front camera, only the main sensor changes. They both support optical zoom up to 5x. X50 has the same front camera and the same main sensor as the X50 Pro, but it lacks gimbal OIS and the periscope lens with 5x optical zoom.

Battery

The longest-lasting phone on a single charge is the Vivo X50 Pro. Just like the X50 Pro+, it has a 4315 mAh battery capacity, but its display has a lower refresh rate, so the phone is actually more efficient than the X50 Pro+. X50 has a smaller 4200 mAh battery.

Price

Vivo X50 is priced $500 in its base variant, X50 Pro starts from $625, and X50 Pro+ begins at €630. Which one is worth going for? If you are a power user and you care about having the highest performance and the best camera quality, then you should definitely go for the X50 Pro+. But if you don’t, X50 Pro is enough for you. The X50 is an X50 Pro without a curved screen, an inferior camera, a slightly smaller battery, and slower fast charging technology. But for the rest, it is almost the same device.

The post Vivo X50 series global launch likely in July appeared first on Gizmochina.

After comparing the Realme X3 SuperZoom to Realme X2 Pro and X50 Pro Player, we are here for another flagship killers comparison. This time, we choose three devices from three different brands owned by BBK Electronics. All of them carry very interesting price tags while still offering flagship-class specifications. We are talking about the Oppo Ace2, the vanilla OnePlus 8, and the Vivo X50 Pro+. Which flagship should you buy and which offers the highest value for money? We will try to answer these questions through an in-depth specs comparison.

Oppo Ace2 vs OnePlus 8 vs Vivo X50 Pro+

Design

At first glance, since it features a less invasive camera module, OnePlus 8 looks more elegant than its rivals. But the Vivo X50 Pro+ comes in a stunning color variant including a leather body which, in my honest opinion, would win almost every design comparison. I also like the Vivo X50 Pro+ for its curved screen and its incredibly high screen-to-body ratio. Sure, its camera module is huge and it is not the most elegant solution, but it remains one of the most stylish phones out there.

Display

With OnePlus 8, Oppo Ace2 and Vivo X50 Pro+ you do not get so many differences when it comes to display specifications. We give the first place to the Vivo X50 Pro+ because it has a higher refresh rate: 120 Hz instead of the 90 Hz found on the OnePlus 8 and the Oppo Ace2. With 120 Hz, you get a smoother viewing experience. In each case, you get an AMOLED panel with rich colors and the HDR10+ certification, as well as the same display diagonal.

Hardware/Software

The strongest point of OnePlus 8, Oppo Ace 2 and Vivo X50 Pro+ is undoubtedly the hardware side. They all feature the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform which is actually the best Qualcomm SoC released in 2020 for mobile devices. You even get up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.0 native storage. These devices are able to provide blazing speeds, high stability, and very high performances in every scenario, including the most demanding games and multi-tasking. The most interesting software side is the one found on the OnePlus 8 as it runs the Oxygen OS which is close to stock Android and well-optimized, but ColorOS is getting very close with a lot of improvements in the last period.

Camera

Vivo X50 Pro+ is definitely the best camera phone of this trio with a 50 MP main camera, dual OIS, 5x optical zoom and gimbal-like stabilization technology which is actually a lot better than normal OIS systems. Right after (but it does not stand a chance against the Vivo X50 Pro+), we got the OnePlus 8 with a 48 MP triple camera. Oppo Ace2 is definitely not a high-end camera phone.

Battery

Oppo Ace2 has the fastest charging technology and even the fastest wireless charging technology ever brought to the market. It needs just 30 minutes for a full charge and 56 minutes with wireless charging. But the OnePlus 8 can provide the longest battery life thanks to a bigger battery.

Price

OnePlus 8 sells in China with a starting price of €502/$565, Oppo Ace2 is priced $565 too, and Vivo X50 Pro+ sells for $709/€630. If we consider all the specifications, Vivo X50 Pro+ is the most convincing one as it offers a higher refresh rate and much better cameras. If you do not care about cameras, you can save some money with the Oppo Ace2 without facing important compromises. OnePlus 8 carries the same starting price as the Oppo Ace2 but it offers better cameras and slower charging speeds, as well as a great software department with the Oxygen OS.

The post Oppo Ace2 vs OnePlus 8 vs Vivo X50 Pro+: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

This year, Vivo launched the first top-tier flagship of the X series: Vivo X50 Pro+. Now, the Chinese giant can compete with the most advanced handsets from other companies belonging to BBK Electronics. Indeed, if you are looking for the most advanced device released by a BBK Electronics subsidiary (not only in terms of performances but also cameras and other features), you have three main choices: Vivo X50 Pro+, OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro. After reading this comparison, you will know the differences between these three handsets and, hopefully, you will be able to evaluate which device fits your needs the most.

Vivo X50 Pro+ vs OnePlus 8 Pro vs Oppo Find X2 Pro

Design

The most amazing design belongs to the Oppo Find X2 Pro. It is made of unique materials if compared to other flagships released this year. It comes in two variants: one with a leather back and one with a ceramic body, instead of the usual glass + aluminum sandwich you can find on other flagships such as the OnePlus 8 Pro. Further, just like the OnePlus 8 Pro, the Oppo Find X2 Pro is waterproof with the IP68 certification, while Vivo X50 Pro+ does not have any protection against water and dust. Vivo X50 Pro+ has a leather variant as well, but due to its huge camera module, I prefer the Oppo Find X2 Pro. Note that the SIM tray of the Oppo Find X2 Pro houses just a single SIM card slot in the global market.

Display

Oppo Find X2 Pro and OnePlus 8 Pro have more or less the same display specifications, but in my opinion, the Oppo Find X2 Pro offers a slightly better image quality. On the other hand, OnePlus 8 Pro has a slightly wider panel with a 6.78-inch diagonal. There is no way Vivo X50 Pro+ can compete with its two rivals since it has a lower Full HD+ resolution, but it is a more compact device with its smaller diagonal.

Hardware/Software

With the Snapdragon 865 mobile platform, up to 12 GB of RAM and UFS 3.0 internal storage, you can get more or less the same hardware department with Vivo X50 Pro+, OnePlus 8 Pro and Oppo Find X2 Pro. So you should not worry so much about performances: all of them are powerful flagships with the best hardware you can get in 2020. What changes is the software: Vivo X50 Pro+ and Oppo Find X2 Pro run Funtouch OS and ColorOS with a more customized user interface, while OnePlus 8 Pro runs Oxygen OS which is closer to stock Android.

Camera

It is very hard to pick a winner of the camera comparison because these devices are able to click amazing photos in each environment and they have different pros in each scenario. The cameras which convinced me the most are the ones found Oppo Find X2 Pro, despite it has a lower amount of sensors on the rear side. It has amazing autofocus and a great 5x optical zoom. The silver medal goes to the Vivo X50 Pro+ with its quad camera including a periscope lens with 5x optical zoom and a portrait lens with 2x optical zoom. But it actually has a better stabilization and it is better for videos.

Battery

OnePlus 8 Pro has the biggest battery, but the Oppo Find X2 Pro is optimized very well and its battery is long-lasting like the OnePlus 8 Pro. But in a lot of scenarios, you should get a longer battery life with the Vivo X50 Pro+ because it has a lower display resolution (FHD+ instead of QHD+). Oppo Find X2 Pro has the fastest charging technology (65W), while OnePlus 8 Pro is the only one to support wireless charging.

Price

Vivo X50 Pro+ is priced €632/$706 and it is not sold globally. OnePlus 8 Pro starts from €919/$1027, while Oppo Find X2 Pro is priced €1199/$1340. While the Vivo X50 Pro+ makes you save a lot of money, the real winner of this comparison is the Oppo Find X2 Pro due to its premium waterproof design, faster charging, amazing cameras, and more. The OnePlus 8 Pro actually offers a very nice software and wireless charging (as well as a great display), but its cameras are not the best you can get in the market.

But now, thanks to a retail source of 91Mobiles, the launch of X50 Pro in India has been somewhat confirmed to take place sometime in mid-July. However, the exact date is still a mystery.

The Vivo X50 Pro is a mid-range smartphone powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G paired with 8GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB/256GB UFS 2.1 internal storage. The handset sports a 6.56-inch FHD+ (2376 x 1080 pixels) curved AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate and a punch hole for 32MP selfie shooter.

Vivo recently launched the flagship Vivo X50 lineup in its home market which includes X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+ smartphones. While the Pro+ model will be available from next month, the other variants will be up for purchase from this month only.

The Vivo X50 is set to go on sale tomorrow while the X50 Pro will be available for purchase in China from 12th June. But from today, the company has started taking reservations for the smartphone through JD.com.

It comes in two variants — 8GB RAM + 128GB storage which costs 4,298 yuan (approximately $603) and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage model which is priced at 4,698 yuan that roughly converts to $663.

As for the specifications, the Vivo X50 Pro features a 6.56-inch AMOLED display with a screen resolution of 2376 x 1080 pixels. There’s also support for the 90Hz refresh rate and it comes with an in-display fingerprint sensor. It has a curved screen design — a first for the X-series from Vivo.

Under the hood, the device comes powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G octa-core processor, along with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.0 flash internal storage. Thanks to the SD765G chipset, the phone has 5G connectivity support.

In the camera department, the smartphone features a 32MP snapper on the front with features like night view, portrait, photo, video, panorama, dynamic photo, slow motion, short video, AR cute shoot, and others.

On the back, it is equipped with a quad-camera setup that includes a 48MP Sony IMX598 primary camera sensor, along with a 13MP portrait lens, an 8MP wide-angle sensor, and a 5MP macro lens.

The highlight of the smartphone is the gimble camera technology which moves the camera module in the opposite direction of the shake, which results in increased stability. The company says that it widens the rotation angle and the anti-shake area.

The phone is running Android 10 operating system with the company’s own FunTouch OS user interface on top. The Vivo X50 is powered by a 4,315mAh battery and comes with support for 33W fast charging technology.

Vivo today held a press conference in China where the Vivo X50 series was unveiled. The new X50 series is made up of the Vivo X50, X50 Pro andX50 Pro+, all 5G phones. What makes the trio stand out is that it is Vivo’s thinnest 5G phone.

The Vivo X50 and X50 Pro both come with a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2376 x 1080p. The screen has support for 90Hz refresh rate and equally has an under-screen fingerprint sensor embedded underneath. The X50 weighs only 173 grams and has a thickness of 7.49mm. On the other hand, the X50 Pro weighs 181.5 grams and is 8.04mm thick. Notably, most 5G phones weigh around 200g.

Although the two phones have similar screen sizes, the X50 Pro uses an aesthetic curved screen design and is also the first curved phone in the X series.

In terms of hardware, both the X50 and X50 Pro pack a Snapdragon 765G processor with 8GB LPDDR4X memory. While the X50 uses UFS 2.0 flash memory, X50 Pro is UFS 2.1 flash memory. Both models also have different battery capacities and fast charge. The X50 crams a 4200mAh battery, while the X50 Pro is powered by a 4315mAh battery, and both support 33W flash charging.

On the camera aspect, Vivo X50 and X50 Pro both packs a 32MP front-facing camera that supports night view, portrait, photo, video, panorama, dynamic photo, slow motion, short video, AR cute shoot and others. At the rear side, there is a quad-camera setup on both models but the X50 Pro setup includes a 48MP Sony IMX598 main camera + 13MO portrait + 8MP wide-angle + 5MP macro lens. The main camera supports four-axis OIS, closed-loop motor, and 20x digital zoom. There is also support for up to 60x digital zoom.

One spectacular feature of the X50 Pro camera is the presence of a gimbal camera system modelled after a full-sized professional gimbal. The gimbal moves the camera module in the direction opposite to that of the shake, increasing the stability of the main camera. The gimbal system widens the rotation angle and the anti-shake area. The camera UI is also tweaked to reflect the movement of the gimbal and show when the sensor is stable. Te X50 Pro+ misses out on this feature, perhaps due to the presence of a large sensor onboard already. It uses ordinary OIS.

In terms of sound quality, Vivo’s X series has always performed well in HiFi. The X50 supports three microphones and Hi-Res certification while the X50 Pro adds an AK4377A sound quality chip, which also supports Hi-Res certification.

As for the prices, the Vivo X50 (8GB + 128GB) is priced at 3498 yuan (~$490) while the 8GB+256GB variant is priced at 3898 yuan (~$547). On the other hand, the X50 Pro  (8GB + 128GB) is priced at 4298 yuan (~$603) and 4698 yuan (~$450) for the 8GB+256GB variant. The X50 went on sale today.

Vivo also launched a flagship model dubbed Vivo X50 Pro Plus. The model is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 865 flagship SoC. In terms of the design, the X50 Pro+ uses an 0.5mm plain leather material which feels better and lighter in weight. Vivo’s logo is embossed on the leather.

The device features a 6.56-inch AMOLED screen with a resolution of 2376 x 1080p. The screen has support for 90Hz refresh rate and equally has an under-screen fingerprint sensor.

The X50 Pro+ uses a 50MP Samsung Isocell GN1 sensor with a 1 / 1.3 ” pixel size. The main camera is expected to perform well in complex scenes with low light and light and dark conditions.

In addition, the X50 Pro+ supports dual-mode SA/NSA 5G as well as LPDDR4X flash storage. The display supports up to 120Hz refresh rate and 240hz touch screen sampling rate, bringing delicate and smooth operations.

In terms of the sound output, the Vivo X50 Pro+ packs the HiFi CS43131 chip with high-performance independent DAC decoding, sampling rate up to 384kHz, 32-bit accuracy, dynamic range up to 130dB, total harmonic distortion + noise as low as -115dB.

The X50 Pro+ comes with a 4998 yuan (~$701) price tag for the 8GB+128GB variant. The 8GB+256GB variant is priced at 5498 yuan (~$771) and finally, the 12GB + 256GB variant will go up 5998 yuan (~$841). Vivo says the flagship will be released in July.

The Vivo X50 and X50 Pro are powered by Snapdragon 765G SoC and the Vivo X50 Pro+ is rumored to be driven by Snapdragon 865. A fresh leak has carried the specifications of all three smartphones.

Vivo is all set to unleash the Vivo X50 5G and Vivo X50 Pro 5G smartphones on June 1 in China. Yesterday, a Chinese tipster had leaked the specifications of the Vivo X50 smartphone. Another tipster has shared an image on Weibo through the specs of the X50 Pro have been revealed.

The leaked image shows that the Vivo X50 Pro has a punch-hole display with curved edges. The screen supports 1080 x 2376 pixels full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The punch-hole on the screen houses a 32-megapixel selfie snapper.

The backside of the device has four cameras. The first one is said to be Sony IMX598 lens, an 8-megapixel telephoto lens with 60X hybrid zoom, a 13-megapixel depth sensor, and an 8-megapixel superwide lens.

The Snapdragon 765G SoC that brings support for dual-mode SA and NSA 5G connectivity powers the Vivo X50 Pro. The phone draws power from a 4,315mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. The handset will also support NFC connectivity.

The Vivo X50 Pro is expected to arrive in two models in China such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. The tipster claims that the handset is priced at 3,398 Yuan, but its unclear whether the pricing belongs to the 128 GB or 256 GB edition of the smartphone.

The only gripe with this leak is that it is almost the same as the specs of the Vivo X50 that emerged yesterday. Probably, the Pro model will have advantages like a curved screen and a gimbal-like camera system over the X50 model that is likely to come with a flat display and lack a gimbal camera setup.

Vivo will be unveiling its X50 series coming Monday, i.e. June 1 in China. Ahead of it, the company has been teasing the handset, especially X50 Pro with its gimbal camera. Now, this duo has been listed on Jingdong (JD.com) and a possible X50 has been also spotted on Geekbench.

Vivo X50 (V2005A) Geekbench Listing

Interestingly, Vivo has not revealed any specifications of Vivo X50 / X50 Pro nor they have leaked. But according to MySmartPrice, a Geekbench listing of a device called V2005A could be of the standard X50.

As per that, the forthcoming Vivo X50 will be powered by a Qualcomm SoC with 1.8GHz base clock frequency. Since the handset is teased by the company as a 5G-ready device, the chipset underneath could be Snapdragon 765G. Because the identifier mentioned in the listing matches with other phones with the same chip.

Further, the variant that was benchmarked runs Android 10 and has 8GB RAM, however, there could be other models as well. As for scores, the alleged Vivo X50 bags 615 and 1909 points for single-core and multi-core respectively.

The Vivo X50 series is scheduled to be announced on the 1st of June 2020. In the launch event, the Vivo X50 and X50 Pro will be officially released. However, just prior to its launch date, the company has revealed the design of the smartphones through certain promotional poster images that were shared online.

Looking at these posters, we can observe that the Vivo X50 series will arrive with a punch hole selfie camera on the front. The display seems to cover the entirety of the front with negligible bezels on every side with curved edges. On the rear, the Vivo X50 and X50 Pro are differentiated by their different camera modules. While both feature a quad camera, the former houses it in a vertical manner while the latter has them placed uniquely due to different sizes.

The Vivo X50 Pro has one large sensor, which is likely to be the primary lens to take in more light. Below this large camera two other cameras can also be seen, which are followed by the fourth sensor below these two. This sensor is the periscopic telephoto lens that will allow users to take magnified shots. In the case of the base X50 variant, the vertically stacked cameras are of relatively similar size and are placed at the top left corner on the rear panel.

The poster images also reveal the color options of the X50 series, with the Pro version having at least a silver and light blue variant. The base Vivo X50, on the other hand, is only seen in a single color option, which appears to be purple. In terms of the overall design, the device seems thin and light. Unfortunately, finer details are still unknown regarding the handset. So stay tuned for more updates.

Vivo is launching its new Vivo X50 smartphone on 1st June in China and the company has already confirmed that the device will feature micro gimbal camera for the primary sensor that aims to offer improved optical stabilisation.

The technology is the same that was showcased with the Vivo Apex 2020 Concept Smartphone which was unveiled earlier this year. However, it will be making its debut commercially with the Vivo X50. Ahead of the launch, Vivo has now revealed the technical details of the micro gimbal camera.

The micro gimbal mechanism has a magnetic frame which is controlled by voice coils. There’s also a suspension bracket which is connected to the base with double ball bearings. The setting enables X-axis and Y-axis tilt angles of up to 3 degrees each, which the company says is three times that of traditional OIS.

To ease up any tension from twisting during stabilisation, the company has extended and folded the sensor’s ribbon into a dual-S shape. Thus, the module takes up extra space but the company says it managed to keep the thickness at 4.5mm.

Vivo has also shared a teaser video using the micro gimbal camera which showcases the awesome optical stabilisation of the sensor as well as an impressive low-light capabilities. Apart from videos, the output from still photos is also quite impressive.

The company has already confirmed that the Vivo X50 Pro features an ultra-large primary camera sensor with a focal length of 16-135mm and supports 5x optical zoom as well as 10x digital zoom. The company is also expected to be capable of 360-degree movements and offer anti-shake technology.

While Vivo has been revealing details about the upcoming smartphone’s camera module, the company has not yet confirmed the camera specifications for the quad-camera setup. But everything will be clear once the phone gets launched in China on 1st June, along with the pricing and availability details.

The Vivo X50 smartphone promises to offer professional photography and video experience. It seems that the smartphone will possess a stable micro gimbal like the APEX 2020 concept phone. It will allow the X50 to offer better stabilization while shooting photos and videos than regular OIS systems.

Recently, the Vivo X50 Lite smartphone went official in Australia. The handset seems to belong to the X50 series which seemingly includes devices like Vivo X50 and Vivo X50 Pro. The Chinese firm is yet to confirm the existence of the Vivo X50 and X50 Pro phones. However, the Vivo X50 moniker for the first time during the “Go Fighting!” reality TV show in China last night. At the same time, a blurry image of the Vivo X50 retail package has surfaced on Weibo. Also, a reliable tipster from China has shared a render that seems to match with X50’s design shown in the retail box.

The screengrab from the reality show reveals the Vivo X50 moniker. It also reveals that the phone will possess professional imaging features like the predecessor Vivo X30 series. The Vivo X30 Pro came with a periscope zoom lens that supported 5x optical zoom and up to 60x digital zoom. Hence, there is a possibility that the Vivo X50 series may offer users with better digital zoom experience.

The second image is blurry, but it manages to reveal the design of the Vivo X50 phone. The retail box shows that the Vivo X50 carries support for 5G connectivity. The handset can be seen in the same light blue color as the predecessor X30 series. The back panel of the Vivo X50 has a rectangle-shaped camera module.

The image does not give a good view of the display. Its right side is not visible, but the left corner seems to have a punch-hole. Another image (shown above) of the Vivo X50’s promo also shows the presence of a round-shaped cutout at the top-left corner.

A reliable tipster from China shared a render of the smartphone without revealing its name. The design of the phone resembles the above-shown X50. Hence, it appears that the tipster has shared an image of the Vivo X50. The back panel has four cameras and the fourth unit seems to be a periscope zoom lens. Last year, Vivo had added a periscope lens on the X30 Pro model while the vanilla variant lacked it. It appears that this year, the vanilla X50 may also feature a periscope lens.

Recently, a couple of new Vivo phones such as Vivo V2005A, V2002A, and V2001A received approval from the 3C authority of China. The V2002A could be the upcoming Vivo Y70s smartphone powered the unannounced Exynos 880 5G chipset. The identities of the V2005A and V2001A are expected to come with 33W fast charging are not known yet. These could be Vivo X50 series smartphones.
