vivo has recently unveiled the latest addition to its flagship smartphone category with the call to “own your masterpiece” and a ZEISS global partnership for mobile imaging. With superb camera capabilities, a powerful performance, and chic designs, it’s really possible to achieve this with the new vivo X80 and X80 Pro.

As with previous iterations of the vivo X line, the X80 series is packed with the latest innovations in mobile photography and imaging technology. Both models under the X80 series boast ZEISS Optics with all lenses meeting ZEISS T Coating standards. This allows users to capture the world clearly, vividly and in true colors. The ZEISS T* Coating standards also serve as a solid foundation for superior night photography, bringing the powerful ZEISS Super Night Camera feature.

Moreover, ZEISS’ Cinematic Video capabilities brought by the X80 series delivers professional videos with quality and clarity fit for the big screen. A new functionality introduced through the X80 line is its accurate reproduction of the effects of ZEISS Anamorphic film lenses. This
creates oval flares in videos and photos in film-standard 2.39:1 aspect ratio. With high-level image purity, sharp portrait subjects and natural-looking bokeh flares, users can express their artistic style freely and record moments in amazing detail. Another unique function for the X80 Pro is the first and only Gimbal Portrait Camera in a smartphone in the country. It allows users to shoot pro-standard portraits effortlessly and with utmost stability.

Other imaging features offered by both the X80 and the X80 Pro variant include AI Video Enhancement, which detects scenarios and matches them with the best camera settings; Active Centering OIS System, which maximizes the stabilization range of each frame so every video is smooth and clear; and XDR Photo display technology, specially crafted to make otherwise ordinary images look like HDR images on the phone screen.

Aside from the superb camera features, both the vivo X80 and X80 Pro are designed with a dual-chip processing system, bringing together the customized vivo V1+ Chip with the latest processors in the market to produce the ultimate flagship, dual-core performance. The Pro variant is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 plus the vivo V1+ Chip, while the X80 variant has both the vivo V1+ Chip and a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 Processor under its hood.
