Vivo’s upcoming flagship offering will be the Vivo X80 series. The series will comprise the X80, X80 Pro, and X80 Pro Plus smartphones. While the details for the vanilla X80 are scarce, we do know that the Pro and Pro Plus will power Dimensity and Snapdragon chips, respectively. Now, the popular tipster DigitalChatStation has cryptically revealed the Dimensity-powered Vivo X80 Pro will come with Sony’s IMX8-series sensor.

The tipster reveals that, as for Vivo, the IMX8-series sensor will be supported by a Dimensity 9000-powered device. As of now, the Vivo X80 Pro is the only upcoming Vivo phone to come with the aforementioned chipset. Having said that, we can believe that the upcoming Vivo X80 Pro will come with the new IMX8-series or IMX800 sensor.

As per the tipster, this IMX8-series sensor will be a 50MP primary unit. To recall, the previous rumors have revealed that the X80 Pro will come with a 50MP + 12MP + 12MP + 12MP quad-camera setup. So, the 50MP tipped unit is in line with the past leaks, however, the previous leak revealed an IMX789 sensor, instead of the now rumored IMX8-series/IMX800 sensor.

Furthermore, the tipster says that the phone will also have the V1 Image Signal Processor. To those unaware, the Vivo V1 is the company’s self-developed chip that offers an array of benefits. The chip brings better image processing and also enables high computing power and low power consumption. Currently, the Vivo X70 series has the V1 ISP.

The Vivo could be amongst the first devices with the IMX8/IMX800 series sensor. Honor will be another brand to bring this sensor to its phones. A recent leak from @RODENT950 revealed that the Honor Magic 4 Pro+ will also feature an IMX800 sensor.
