Vivo is clear that the most important section of a smartphone is the camera, and it wants to demonstrate it with the Vivo X80 Pro, the new flagship announced a few months ago in China and that now arrives in Europe to battle face to face with terminals like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra or the iPhone 13 Pro. It does so, in this case, associating with Zeiss to improve the experience when taking pictures. Also, betting on the latest from Qualcomm, a wireless charge of up to 50W and an on-screen fingerprint reader that is much more advanced compared to other Android phones.

One of the most striking aspects of the Vivo X80 Pro – in addition to its camera – is its design. The manufacturer wanted to give prominence to the photographic section with a huge module that occupies great art in the rear area. Without forgetting, yes, the resistance; includes IP68 certification, and the “all-screen” experience, since the terminal has a panel with hardly any frames. This screen, which comes with AMOLED technology, is 6.78 inches and includes a QHD+ resolution of 440 x 3200 pixels, as well as a 120 Hz refresh rate. It is powered by a 4,700 mAh battery, which includes a fast charge of up to 80W, and a wireless charge of up to 50W baptized as FlashCharge.
