IMAGES VIVO. LIU HONGZUO, 123RF
Fans of the Vivo X series in Singapore would be familiar with how the Chinese phone brand positioned its variants - there's a regular, Pro, and Pro+ version up until the X70 series.
The Vivo X80 Pro is now a true flagship phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, putting it on the same playing field against the other SD8G1 alternatives like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and Oppo Find X5 Pro, to name a few.
The X80 Pro's display is specced at WQHD+ (3,200 x 1,440 pixels) resolution with large 6.78-inch AMOLED panel. That's an overwhelming ~517 PPI pixel density. Content looks great with its excellent display. We'd even say it's one of the X80 Pro's highlights.
Default audio playback, however, is nothing to write home about. It has a mediocre sound profile and clarity with noticeable bloat in its bass handling.
Like most flagship-class phones, X80 Pro has quality-of-life features like Always-On Display, Eye Protection, Dark Mode, and personalised animations. We liked its blazingly fast face and under-display fingerprint unlock, which felt secure and accurate (at least, we couldn’t bamboozle either sensor when we wanted to).
Funtouch OS 12 itself (the Android 12 reskin for Vivo devices) cuts across all Vivo’s smartphones, so its circular app icons and juvenile theme should be a familiar experience even for stock Android users. It’s also relatively light on bloatware, which helps the X80 Pro’s overall premium positioning too.
