Xiaomi 14 Civi was launched recently, focusing primarily on cameras. It’s a flagship smartphone from the Chinese brand powered by a powerful Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chip.

With the Xiaomi 14 Civi, the brand aims to capture the sub-Rs 50,000 category. No doubt, it’s a good smartphone at the price point. However, there are some great alternatives to this phone from other brands with comparable or better specs.

If you’re thinking of buying the Xiaomi 14 Civi, take a look at these alternatives to make a better purchase decision.

Xiaomi 14 Civi Spec Sheet

1. Samsung Galaxy S23 5G

The Galaxy S23 is an excellent alternative to the Xiaomi 14 Civi smartphone. It packs a more powerful chip and an excellent set of cameras.

The Galaxy device has a 6.1 inches, slightly shorter than the Xiaomi 14 Civi’s 6.55-inch screen. Both are AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. Notably, the Xiaomi phone has a peak brightness of 3000 nits, while it’s only 1750 nits on the Galaxy S23 Ultra. So, the content would look better on the Xiaomi device outdoors.

The Xiaomi 14 Civi has a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, whereas the Galaxy S23 5G has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Both are high-performance flagship chipsets that can smoothly handle processing needs for most people. They have comparable CPU performance. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has better GPU performance. So, naturally, you can expect better gaming performance on the Galaxy S23.

The Xiaomi 14 Civi has a large circular camera module on the rear side that houses three sensors and an LED flash. The Galaxy S23 also has three camera sensors on the back, but are arranged vertically. It includes a 50MP primary sensor (OIS, f/1.8 aperture, 1/1.56″ sensor size), a 10MP telephoto lens (OIS, f/2.4 aperture, 1/3.94″ sensor size, 3x optical zoom), and a 12MP ultrawide lens (f/2.2 aperture, 1/2.55″ sensor size, 120˚ field-of-view).

For selfies and video calls, there’s a 12MP sensor.

The Galaxy S23 5G can record 8K videos at multiple frame rates, which the Xiaomi 14 Civi can’t. The Xiaomi phone only supports up to 4K recording.

The Galaxy S23 has a 3,900 mAh battery and supports 25W fast charging. Xiaomi 14 Civi, on the other hand, has a 4,700 mAh battery and supports 67W fast charging. Here, the Samsung phone is clearly behind the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

Both smartphones support USB Type-C, although the Samsung phone has a newer generation of USB-C support. This means faster data transfer on the Galaxy S23 compared to the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

2. OnePlus 11

OnePlus 11 was released last year, though it’s still a great alternative to many flagship phones launched this year, including the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

The smartphone has a slightly bigger screen and more pixels per inch (PPI) than the Xiaomi 14 Civi. Both smartphones support HDR10+ and 120Hz refresh rate, although the Xiaomi phone has more colours and higher peak brightness.

At the core of the OnePlus 11 is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3, which is less powerful than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (in the Xiaomi 14 Civi), specifically the GPU performance. As a result, the OnePlus 11 handles gaming better than the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

Notably, the 128GB version of the OnePlus 11 supports UFS 3.1, but higher models support UFS 4.0. So, if you care too much about the performance, consider UFS 4.0.

The camera arrangement on the OnePlus 11 is similar to the Xiaomi 14 Civi, although it blends with the frame on the OnePlus 11. The OnePlus phone has a 50MP primary sensor (OIS, f/1.8 aperture, 1/1.56″ sensor), a 32MP telephoto lens (f/2.0 aperture, 1/2.74″ sensor, 2x optical zoom), and a 48MP ultrawide shooter (f/2.2 aperture, 1/2.0″ sensor, 115˚ field-of-view).

The rear camera setup on the OnePlus 11 has Hasselblad colour tuning. The device can record up to 8K videos, while the Xiaomi 14 Civi can record up to 4K videos. For selfies, there’s a 16MP sensor on the front.

The OnePlus 11 packs a 5,000 mAh battery and supports 100W fast charging. According to the brand, it only takes 10 minutes to reach 50% and 25 minutes to 100%. In comparison, the Xiaomi 14 Civi has a lesser battery capacity and supports 67W fast charging only.

3. Vivo X80

Vivo X80 looks strong on the spec sheet and has a similar pricing as that of the Xiaomi 14 Civi. The smartphone has a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate support and 1500 nits of peak brightness (half of the peak brightness on Xiaomi 14 Civi).

The Vivo phone is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, whereas the Xiaomi 14 Civi has a Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. Both are octa-core chips fabricated on a TSMC’s 4 nm process node and look similar on benchmarks.

The giant rear camera module on the Vivo X80 includes a 50MP primary sensor (OIS, f/1.8 aperture, 1/1.49″ sensor), a 12MP telephoto lens (f/2.0 aperture, 1/2.93″ sensor, 2x optical zoom), and a 12MP ultrawide lens (f/2.0 aperture, 1/2.93″ sensor).

The Vivo X80 can record up to 4K videos using its rear cameras and 1080p videos using the 32MP selfie camera. It is backed by a 4,500 mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging. The battery capacity is slightly lesser on the Vivo X80 but the charging speed is higher compared to the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

4. OnePlus 12R

OnePlus 12R is another smartphone that is a good alternative to the Xiaomi 14 Civi.

The OnePlus phone features a 6.78-inch screen, which is slightly taller than Xiaomi 14 Civi. It’s an LTPO4 AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. While other phones in this list have a lower peak brightness than the Xiaomi 14 Civi, this one has a much higher value of 4500 nits.

Like the Galaxy S23 and OnePlus 11, the 12R is also powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. It has a better performance than the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 inside the Xiaomi 14 Civi, especially when it comes to gaming.

The rear camera setup on the OnePlus 12R includes a 50MP primary sensor (OIS, f/1.8 aperture, 1/1.56″ sensor), an 8MP ultrawide lens (f/2.2 aperture, 1/4.0″ sensor, 112˚ field-of-view), and a 2MP macro lens (f/2.4 aperture). It can record up to 4K videos, whereas the 16MP selfie camera can record up to 1080p videos.

OnePlus 12R has a massive 5,500 mAh battery (vs. 4,700 mAh on Xiaomi 14 Civi) and supports 100W fast charging.

The cameras may not be as good as Xiaomi 14 Civi, but the OnePlus 12R definitely has a better display, battery life, and a high-performance chip.

Which one do you think is the best alternative to Xiaomi 14 Civi? Let me know your thoughts in the comment section below.

After teasing for months, Google officially unveiled the Pixel 7 series earlier this month. Unlike the last three generations, the latest Pixels are available in India.

The vanilla Pixel 7 is priced at ₹59,999 in the country for the sole 8GB + 128GB memory variant. Just like iPhones, it is more expensive here than in most regions.

At the same, customers have got more options in this price segment in India than in other regions where the Pixel 7 is sold in. Hence, we have compiled a list of the best alternatives to help you out.

Before delving into the list, let us take a look at what the Pixel 7 has to offer. Also, if you are looking for Pixel 7 Pro alternatives, you can check them out here.

The newly released Pixel 7 is almost identical to the Pixel 6. It comes with a tweaked design, a slightly smaller display and battery, a different selfie camera, and a new chipset.

The Pixel 7 is built around a 6.3-inch centered punch-hole flat AMOLED display with a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels (FHD+), a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 1,400 nits peak brightness level. The panel is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Victus and it has a fingerprint sensor underneath it.

The device is powered by a 5nm Google Tensor G2 SoC paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. It features an OIS-assisted 50MP primary camera, a 12MP 114˚ ultra-wide camera, and a 10.8MP front-facing camera.

The connectivity options on the handset include dual SIM, 5G, WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, GNSS, NFC, and USB 3.2 (Type-C). It boots Android 13 with plenty of useful software features, however, most of them are not available in India.

Finally, the IP68-rated (dust and water-resistant) phone houses dual stereo speakers and a 4,355mAh battery. It carries support for 20W fast wired charging, 20W fast wireless charging, and reverse wireless charging.

With that out of the way, let’s take a look at the smartphones that compete with the Pixel 7 in India.

The Best Google Pixel 7 Alternatives  in India

Vivo X80

The Vivo X80 could be considered one of the most underrated smartphones released in 2022. It offers almost all the experiences of the Vivo X80 Pro at a slightly lower price.

Despite months after its launch in India, it continues to be the only phone powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip in the region. Also, it is one of few handsets with Zeiss-powered cameras.

Unlike the Pixel 7, the Vivo X80 has a proper three-lens camera system consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP 2x telephoto shooter, and a 12MP ultra-wide unit. However, it lacks wireless charging support as well as IP rating, and sports a USB 2.0 port.

But the X80 offers other features like a large 6.78-inch 120Hz FHD+ AMOLED display with 1,500 nits peak brightness level, a leather-back option, 80W fast wired charging, and feature-packed Funtouch OS 12 based on Android.

In India, the Vivo X80 is priced at ₹54,999 and ₹59,999 for 8GB + 128GB and 12GB + 256GB memory configurations, respectively.

Motorola Edge 30 Ultra

Motorola smartphones are the only prominent ones other than Google handsets to ship with near-stock Android in India. As a flagship device, the Motorola Edge 30 Ultra also offers high-end hardware.

The phone arrives with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chipset, 6.67-inch 144Hz pOLED display with 1,250 nits peak brightness level, 200MP primary camera, 12MP 2x telephoto camera, 50MP ultra-wide camera, 125W fast wired charging, 50W fast wireless charging, 10W reverse wireless charging, USB 3.1 (Type-C), and more.

On paper, the Edge 30 Ultra offers better specs than the Pixel 7 with the almost same software. But it is not dust and water-resistant. Also, if you like pictures from Pixel cameras, you would not be impressed with the clicks by Moto.

If you are fine with the above caveats, the Edge 30 Ultra is a good option. It is priced at ₹59,999 for the single 8GB + 128GB variant.

Apple iPhone 13

If you are accustomed to the Apple ecosystem, then there’s no better smartphone than iPhone 13 in this price segment. Even if you are willing to shift to iOS, it is the best option for the price.

The iPhone 13 currently starts around ₹60,000 for the base 128GB variant in India. Its pricing is more dynamic than other handsets as it can be had for less or more depending on deals and channels.

The iPhone 13 is almost as same as the Pixel 7 in terms of features. It’s just that it is part of a different ecosystem and offers better performance.

But at the same time, it has shortcomings like slower charging speed, USB 2.0, and no contactless payment support in India to name a few.

For the first time, the Reno series has a Pro Plus variant. We are talking about the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus, launched in the Chinese market just a few days ago. However, this special variant is not a top-tier flagship, even though it comes with very interesting specifications. A perfect rival for this device is definitely the vanilla version of the latest flagship series by Vivo: the Vivo X80. Given that the Reno8 series is not a flagship series, the Pro Plus variant competes with the vanilla version of the X80 series. In this comparison, you will find the differences between the specifications of the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus and the Vivo X80.

OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus 5G vs Vivo X80

Design

I personally prefer the design of the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus for several reasons. First of all, its camera module is more elegant, less invasive, and more original in terms of design. Further, the phone has a very high screen to body ratio and it is more compact than Vivo X80. Last but not least, it is one of the thinnest phones of 2022 with a thickness of just 7.3 mm, and it is even very lightweight. However, you should not underestimate the Vivo X80: it comes in a special color option made with a leather back that looks very gorgeous. Currently, there are not many flagships with a leather back and, usually, they are in the top-tier segment. That is not the case with the Vivo X80 offering a leather back at a more affordable price.

Display

The display of the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus is a better panel if compared to the Vivo X80. It is able to show up to one billion colors and this is the element making it better. For the rest, these displays are very similar to each other. They are panels with a diagonal of around 6.7 inches, a Full HD+ resolution of 1080p, the HDR certification, and a 120 Hz refresh rate. They also come with optical in-display fingerprint readers. Unfortunately, even though these are high-end phones, they do not feature stereo speakers and they do not even come with a 3.5 mm audio jack. The displays of these phones are not the best out there, but they provide great image quality and a high level of smoothness.

Specs & Software

Are you looking for the most advanced hardware? If so, you should opt for the Vivo X80. It is powered by the Dimensity 9000 chipset by MediaTek: currently, the Dimensity 9000 is the most powerful chipset by MediaTek. It is built with a 4 nm production process, it runs at a max frequency of 3.05 GHz and it is paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The Vivo X80 runs Android 12 customized by Funtouch OS 12 in the global market and Origin OS Ocean in China. The OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus has a processor which comes right after the Dimensity 9000 in terms of CPU and GPU performance: the Dimensity 8100 Max, paired with up to 12 GB of LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The phone runs Android 12 customized by ColorOS 12.1.

Camera

When it comes to the cameras, it is a hard fight between these two phones. The OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus is able to capture better shots with the main 50 MP camera thanks to the aid of the proprietary NPU MariSilicon X that improves night photography and video recording at night. On the other hand, the Vivo X80 is equipped with better secondary sensors: it has a 12 MP telephoto sensor with 2x optical zoom and a 12 MP ultrawide camera. The OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus replaces the telephoto lens with a useless 2 MP macro camera and its ultrawide sensor is an inferior 8 MP shooter.

Battery

Both these handsets are equipped with a 4500 mAh battery capacity and they feature 80W fast charging, as well as reverse charging. But the Vivo X80 should provide a longer battery life in several scenarios because the Dimensity 9000 is a more efficient mobile platform. However, the ColorOS user interface is notoriously better at software optimization and it could achieve lower energy consumption on the Reno8 Pro Plus.

Price

You need at least €566/$607 to purchase the Vivo X80 in the Chinese market, while the starting price of the OPPO Reno8 Pro Plus roughly translates into €520/$557. So which phone is the best? The Vivo X80 looks more interesting because it comes with a better processor and superior cameras, but the Reno8 Pro+ has a better design (thinner and more elegant) and display (with one billion colors). Which one would you pick?

Vivo will be unveiling the Vivo X80 and X80 Pro smartphones on May 18 in India. Both phones have already been launched in China and global markets. New reports by MySmartPrice and Pricebaba have revealed the configurations, color options, and pricing of the X80 series for India.

Vivo X80 series configurations, color options

The new leaks reveal that the Vivo X80 will be arriving in two variants, such as 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage and 12 GB RAM + 256 GB storage. It will come in Cosmic Black and Urban colors.

On the other hand, the Vivo X80 Pro will come in a single trim with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of built-in storage. It will come in one color only: black. It appears that India will not be receiving the orange edition of the X80 and X80 Pro that are available in China.

There is no information on the pricing of the Vivo X80 Pro. However, the X80 is expected to carry a retail box price of Rs 56,990 (~$736). This means that the smartphone may have a much lower selling price.

In China, the Vivo X80 Pro is available in two chipset variants, such as Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and Dimensity 9000. It appears that India will only receive the SD8G1 edition of the Pro model. The vanilla X80 is expected to arrive as India’s first phone powered by the Dimensity 9000 chipset. The rest of the specs of the X80 series for India could be identical to the Chinese variants. However, instead of the OriginOS UI available on the Chinese models, the Indian variants will offer the FunTouch OS 12 experience. Like the predecessor models, the X80 lineup heading to India will offer a stellar photography experience.

The Vivo X80 Series has been officially launched in its first global market outside of China today, in none other than the tropical Southeast Asian country of Malaysia. 

As an industry-leading flagship from Vivo, the Vivo X80 series brings in several firsts to the global smartphone market which include the 1st flagship to sport a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 processor, the 1st flagship to sport its Vivo V1+ imaging processor and the 1st flagship to sport a Sony IMX866 sensor.

Vivo X80

Starting with the design, the Vivo X80 features a curved AMOLED screen at the front and a flat glass back panel with a rectangular ceramic camera island on top. The front display is a 6.78-inch FHD+ 120Hz E5 Samsung curved AMOLED that goes up to 1000 nits of brightness covering 100% DCI-P3 colour gamut. The front display is then complimented with a centered hole punch housing the 32MP selfie camera.

Powering the standard Vivo X80 is MediaTek’s top-of-the-line Dimensity 9000 SoC, with 12GB of onboard LPDDR5 RAM, 4GB of extendable RAM and 256GB of blazing-fast 256GB UFS 3.1 storage. Keeping the lights on is the device’s generous 4,500mAh battery, paired with Vivo’s class-leading 80W fast charging. Vivo claims that its 80W fast charging will be able to charge from 0% to 50% within 11 mins and 0% to 100% within 34 mins.

Coming to the photography, besides the ISP on the MediaTek Dimensity 9000, the Vivo X80 also comes with Vivos first in-house ISP, the Vivo V1+. Vivo proudly exclaims that the Vivo V1+ ISP paired with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 allows the company to produce newer and more advanced smartphone camera algorithms to ensure that the best camera shot comes out of your smartphone.

As for the cameras, the Vivo X80 features a triple rear camera setup. The main sensor is Sony’s latest 50MP IMX866 sensor. The 50MP sensor comes with a wide f/1.75 aperture, OIS stabilisation, and an RGBW colour arrangement. The setup is then supported with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 12MP telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom. All lenses are also equipped with Zeiss’ T* coating technology to reduce ghosting and stray light to capture more natural colours and finer details when you are using the device.

For haptics and audio, the Vivo X80 is included with a linear X-axis haptic motor and features dual top-bottom firing stereo speakers for an immersive mobile gaming experience. The device weighs in at a hefty 206g and is sporting Android 12 with Vivo’s Funtouch OS 12 user interface on top. 

Vivo X80 Pro

The Vivo X80 Pro features a similar design as the Vivo X80 with the same curved AMOLED panel at the front, a flat matte glass panel at the back, and is rated for IP68 water and dust resistance. The display up front is upgraded to a 6.78-inch 2K 120Hz LTPO E5 Samsung AMOLED over the standard model and also houses a 32MP front camera in the punch hole at the top centre of the display. The display also supports up to 1500 nits of brightness, 10-bit colours and HDR10+ content.

The Vivo X80 Pro is coming to global markets with only the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 onboard, and with 12GB of onboard LPDDR5 RAM, 4GB of extendable RAM, and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The Vivo X80 Pro is equipped with a larger 4700mAh battery, with 80W wired fast charging, and 50W Vivo FlashCharge wireless charging. In turn, the device weighs in at a heavier 219g.

As for the cameras, the Vivo X80 Pro is also equipped with the new Vivo V1+ ISP and features a more capable quad-camera setup on the rear. The main sensor is a 50 MP ultra-sensing Samsung GNV sensor with OIS stabilisation. As the first Android flagship to sport the Samsung GNV sensor, Vivo claims that with this new technology, the Vivo X80 Pro will be able to reveal the colours of the night, making the night look brighter and more natural.

The other 3 rear cameras are also flagship highlights as well, with the 48MP ultra wide-angle sensor being the Sony IMX598, the 12MP telephoto sensor being the Sony IMX663 sensor, and an 8MP periscope lens that boasts 5x optical zoom and 60x hybrid zoom. All lenses are equipped with Zeiss’ T* coating technology which aims to provide photos with true to life colours and finer details in the dark.

The Vivo X80 Pro is equipped with the same flagship linear X-axis motor and dual top-bottom firing stereo speakers as its X80 sibling and will run Android 12 with Funtouch OS 12 out of the box.

Pricing and Colour Options

For the Malaysia market, the Vivo X80 will be arriving in two gorgeous colour options: Cosmic Black and Urban Blue, meanwhile the Vivo X80 Pro will be only available in Cosmic Black.

If you thought that Vivo X Fold and Vivo X Note were the only Vivo top-tier flagships for this quarter of the year, you were wrong. A few hours ago, the Blue Factory came up with the new Vivo X80 Series composed of the Vivo X80 and the Vivo X80 Pro. The company decided not to launch the Pro+ variant: it will come later, sometime in Q3 2022. Meanwhile, we know all the specifications of the other two variants just announced for the Chinese market, and we also know that they will hit the global market as well. This comparison will highlight the difference between their specifications in order to let you understand which one is the best device for your needs.

Vivo X80 vs Vivo X80 Pro

Design

There are only minor differences in the designs of the Vivo X80 and the Vivo X80 Pro: if you look at each of them alone, you won’t be able to distinguish them. The only important difference when it comes to aesthetics is the size of the rear camera module. These flagships went official in three different color variants with three different materials for the rear side: the blue version has a rear side made of AG glass, the black one has a ceramic back, and the orange one is made of vegan leather. Which material do you prefer?

Display

One of the most important advantages of the Vivo X80 Pro if compared to the vanilla version is the display. This handset comes with an AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.78 inches sporting a Quad HD+ resolution and the LTPO 2 technology enabling an adaptive refresh rate from 1 to 120 Hz. The vanilla version has a lower Full HD+ resolution and it lacks the LTPO 2 technology, so its level of detail will be lower and its energy consumption will be higher. But the vanilla version still comes with a great AMOLED display including an in-display fingerprint reader and a 120 Hz refresh rate.

Specs & Software

The Vivo X80 Pro comes in two variants with different chipsets: one is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 mobile platform and the other is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. The chip is paired with up to 12 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of UFS 3.1 internal storage. The vanilla version will be only available with the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset paired with up to 12 GB of RAM. Given that, according to benchmarks, the Dimensity 9000 is a stronger chipset than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, the hardware comparison is a draw. Both the phones run Android 12 out of the box, customized by OriginOS. Once they will hit the global market, these handsets will run Funtouch OS 12 based on Android 12.

Camera

The Pro variant is called Vivo X80 Pro especially due to its superior camera setup. It has a Samsung ISOCELL GNV main sensor with a 50 MP resolution and OIS, a 12 MP telephoto sensor for portraits with 2x optical zoom, an 8 MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom, and a 48 MP Sony IMX598 ultrawide lens. The vanilla version replaces the Samsung ISOCELL GNV sensor with a Sony IMX866 coming with the same resolution, it retains the telephoto sensor but it lacks the periscope camera, and the ultrawide sensor is an inferior 12 MP snapper.

Battery

The Vivo X80 Pro comes with a bigger battery sporting a capacity of 4700 mAh and, unlike the vanilla version, it supports fast wireless charging, with a power of 50W. The Vivo X80 has a smaller 4500 mAh battery and it only features 80W fast wired charging.

Price

The starting price of the Vivo X80 in China roughly translates into €527/$565, while you need at least $840/€784 to purchase the Pro variant. This said, the Pro variant is waterproof and it offers a better display, superior cameras, and a bigger battery with wireless charging. Would you spend more on these features?

To keep the device cool, the Vivo X80 features a VC liquid cooling solution with a soaking plate covering an area of 4285mm², making it the largest soaking plate on a Vivo device so far.

The device is powered by a 4,500mAh battery with 80W fast charging support. Using the dual-cell 80W flash charging, the device is able to charge back up to 50% in 11 minutes, and it only takes 34 minutes to fully charge. The device is certified by Rheinland for safe fast charging.

For software, the X80 Pro series will run on Android 12 OS-based OriginOS Ocean out of the box. Other features include NFC, HiFi audio support, X-axis linear motor, dual stereo speakers, in-display fingerprint sensor, and facial recognition.

Cameras

For optics, the X80 has a triple camera setup on the back. The device is equipped with the world’s first Sony IMX866 primary sensor. The 50MP sensor comes with an f/1.75 aperture, adopts an RGBW arrangement, and supports OIS as well. The primary camera is paired with a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens and a 12MP portrait sensor with 2x optical zoom. On the front, the device features a 32MP selfie snapper.

The camera lenses come with a multi-layer coating from Zeiss to reduce ghosting and stray light while enhancing detail and capturing more natural colors. Like the X80 Pro model, the vanilla X80 also gets Vivo’s proprietary V1+ ISP chip (Image Signal Processor) to enhance the photography experience.

The device offers multiple camera modes like Night scene, portrait, photo, video, 50 million, panorama, dynamic photo, slow motion, time-lapse photography, professional mode, AR cute shot, micro-video, document correction, double exposure, dual view video, supergroup photo, and smart vision.

Vivo is expected to launch its flagship Vivo X80 series soon, and if we go by the leaks, the launch could take place as early as this month. While Vivo on the Internet appears to shush about the release date, a poster of the X80 series was spotted at offline stores in China.

The Vivo X80 teaser poster is already live in China. The smartphone’s rear design can be seen on the poster. The phone’s much-rumoured ZEISS branded quad-camera system is also visible. This time around, the camera island on the phone is circular as opposed to the predecessor’s vertically positioned rectangular camera island.

In addition to the cameras, the poster confirms the presence of Vivo V1+ ISP on the phone. This is probably the improved version of the V1 chip that we saw in last year’s Vivo X70. Moreover, the phone’s 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC has also been confirmed by the poster. As per leaks, this chip will be powered by the X80 Pro+.

The series will also include X80 and X80 Pro, which will have the Dimensity 8100 and Dimensity 9000 SoCs, respectively. The X80 and X80 Pro are expected to come with a 6.78-inch E5 AMOLED display, while the X80 Pro+ is said to feature a 6.78-inch LTPO 2.0 AMOLED panel. The X80 and X80 Pro+ will have QHD+ resolution, whereas, the vanilla X80 will get an FHD+ screen. All models will have a high 120Hz refresh rate.

The Vivo X80 series launch is expected to be just around the corner. The company is reportedly planning on launching the new smartphones later this month in China, but prior to its release, a new report has surfaced that reveals some of its key specifications.

Previously, we had reported on a Geekbench listing on a smartphone that carried the model number V2145. This handset was believed to be the Vivo X80 Pro+ model, which featured Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC on the benchmarking platform. But now, known Weibo tipster Digital Chat Station claims that the lineup will be powered by MediaTek’s latest and greatest Dimensity 9000 processors.

As of right now, it is unclear if the top end X80 Pro+ model will be the sole version to feature the flagship Qualcomm chipset. However, the tipster also shared an image on the Chinese microblogging website that showcased the device running on Dimensity 9000 SoC alongside a custom made image processing chip as well. This imaging chip was reportedly developed in house and is a flagship grade custom image chip that will enhance the photography experience on the upcoming smartphones.

Digital Chat Station added that this custom chip will improve the amount of light that reaches the sensor by a significant amount. Furthermore, he believes that the Vivo X80 Pro series will have a proprietary ISP + RGBW sensor with a large f/1.57 aperture. Unfortunately, this is all the information he shared regarding this device at the moment. But keep in mind that this is still an unconfirmed report, so take it with a pinch of salt for now and stick around for more updates.

The vivo X80 series is nearly here now with a launch possible scheduled on April 11th along with the much-anticipated X Note and X Fold phones.

Ahead of the purported big day, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed some of the specs of the vivo X80 Pro.

The vivo X80 Pro should be one of three models and will be sold alongside the vivo X80 and vivo X80 Pro+, just like last year’s vivo X70 series.
