Vivo X80 Pro

Pros

• Truly outstanding camera
• Fast wired and wireless charging
• Superb battery life

Cons

• Awkward camera design
• No Gorilla Glass
• Frustrating software

Vivo has knocked it out of the park with the X80 Pro, a phone whose camera is truly excellent, rivaling the best Apple, Samsung, and Google have to offer.

A Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip powers four rear lenses, the main being a wonderfully capable 50Mp sensor. Every lens benefits from Vivo’s V1+ image processing chip, and there’s gimbal stabilization on the telephoto lens to aid the clarity of zoom shots. It’s an incredibly full feature set, and low-light photography is outstanding. Add to that excellent video mode with cinema-wide aspect ratios and a film-like grain and you’ve got a powerhouse camera in your pocket.

The phone is a big one so you’ll have to be happy with a 6.78in AMOLED. It’s a 120Hz LTPO (with variable refresh rate) and QHD+ resolution.

The downsides to the phone are the lack of Gorilla Glass for proven scratch and crack protection to the front and back, and the frustrating software. But overall this is another leap forward for Vivo that you should seriously consider if you want a premium camera on the back of your phone.
