Earlier this year, Vivo launched the X80 lineup of flagship smartphones, out of which, the Vivo X80 Pro became one of the highest praised flagship smartphones of 2022 and a genuine contender for the best camera system on a smartphone.

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.

Earlier this year, Vivo was rumored to launch three flagship smartphones dubbed the Vivo X80, the X80 Pro, and the X80 Pro Plus. However, at launch, the company only debuted the Vivo X80 and the Vivo X80 Pro in Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Dimensity 9000 variants.

Now, the reliable tipster Yogesh Brar has confirmed the existence of the Vivo X80 Pro Plus stating that the smartphone will debut soon (Via MySmartPrice). Going by the information provided by Brar, the X80 Pro Plus will house the latest Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 chipset. This chipset will bring a considerable improvement over the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 in the X80 Pro as the new chip is manufactured by TSMC using its 4nm node and boasts up to 30% energy efficiency over its predecessor. The chip will also run relatively cooler than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, which has numerous thermal management issues.

Other than that, the tipster has stated that the device could launch in October 2022, but it is not yet confirmed due to the ongoing supply chain issue plaguing industries worldwide. Finer specification details are still under wraps, but going by previous reports, we can expect the smartphone to come with a 6.8-inch 2K AMOLED display with a 120H refresh rate support. It is likely to support 120W fast charging as well.

For optics, the device may carry a quad-camera setup made up 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. The device will likely come with Zeiss lenses and camera tuning along with gimbal-like stabilization. However, we would like to advise our readers to take these specs with a pinch of salt and stay tuned for more updates on the X80 Pro Plus.
