Despite being the most affordable option in the series, the X80 still packs a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC but there's no Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 option. We also have a less impressive 6.78-inch Samsung E5 AMOLED, which isn't LTPO2. Still, the advertised 1,500 nits peak brightness, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut coverage and 120Hz refresh rate make up for a solid panel.
The camera setup isn't as advanced either.
The main shooter uses a 50MP Sony IMX866 RGBW 1/1.49" sensor and f/1.75
lens with OIS. The 2x zoom camera used for portraits is borrowed from the X80
Pro but uses a narrower f/1.98 aperture and there's no 5x zoom shooter here.
The ultrawide camera, on the other hand,
is downgraded to a Sony IMX663 12MP sensor with f/2.0 aperture. The selfie camera
is shared with the X80 Pro. The X80 draws from a slightly smaller 4,500mAh
battery and misses on the wireless charging, but retains the fast 80W fast
wired charging .
The available memory options are
8GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, 12GB/256GB and 12GB/512GB, which cost CNY 3,699 (US$ 565),
CNY 3,999 (US$ 610), CNY 4,399 (US$ 670) and CNY 4,899 (US$ 745), respectively. It's
important to note that the regular X80 skips the IP68 certification and uses a
standard optical under-display fingerprint reader. Just like the X80 Pro, the
standard X80 also comes with OriginOS Ocean based on Android 12. But since vivo
is keeping the OriginOS for the Chinese market, we don't know what to expect
for the global release. Likely Funtouch OS will be on board again.
Pre-orders for both handsets are open and
actual shipments begin on April 29.
