Vivo X90 Pro+ debuts with Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset
Vivo has launched its latest flagship smartphone range in China. The X90 series includes three models with the X90+ sitting at the top as the world's first smartphone with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset announced last week. The X90 and X90 Pro are also capable offerings, boasting MediaTek's Dimensity 9200 SoC. The trio boasts a 120Hz OLED screen, ZEISS-branded cameras, and Android 13.
Why does this story matter?
Compared to the previous Vivo X80 series of smartphones, the latest line-up has received a list of upgrades, not limited to just the new processors. All three handsets—the X90, X90 Pro, and X90 Pro+—come with improved cameras thanks to ZEISS optics and the company's V2 chip for image processing. The Pro+ model has also beaten Samsung's S23 series by getting the newest Snapdragon SoC.
The smartphones feature 120Hz displays
The Vivo X90 series sports a center-aligned punch-hole cut-out, slim bezels, an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, and an under-display fingerprint sensor. The X90 and X90 Pro feature a 6.78-inch Full-HD+ (1,260x2,800 pixels) AMOLED display while the X90 Pro+ sports a 6.78-inch QHD+ (1,440, 3,200 pixels) E6 AMOLED display. All three provide a 120Hz refresh rate.
All three smartphones offer a 32MP selfie shooter
On the rear, the X90 has a 50MP main camera and two 12MP shooters for portrait and ultra-wide shots. The X90 Pro swaps the 12MP portrait camera with a 50MP secondary shooter. The X90 Pro+ variant gets a 50MP main snapper, a 50MP secondary camera, a 48MP ultra-wide lens, and a 64MP periscope telephoto camera. For selfies, the handsets have a 32MP camera.
