Vivo has launched the Vivo X80 and Vivo X80 Pro smartphones in the first half of 2022. The company is said to be offering an advanced variant called the X90 Pro+. However, the launch never happened. It looks like the company is still working on a premium Android smartphone. Vivo X90 Pro+ may arrive in December this year itself. Let’s take a look at the specifications, features and competition that the X90 Pro+ faces.
Vivo X90 Pro+ specifications
The Vivo X90 series of flagship smartphones is expected to launch in December, but Vivo hasn’t released any details yet. The series may include Vivo X90, Vivo X90 Pro and Vivo X90 Pro+. As the names suggest, the Vivo X90 Pro+ will be the flagship variant.
The Vivo x90 Android smartphone was recently released online and is expected to feature a 1.5K resolution display. Vivo X90 Pro+ will probably have a better display. According to the leaked information, the smartphone may feature a 6.78-inch Samsung E6 AMOLED curved display. The screen curves around the edges, and sports a 2K resolution with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Being the flagship model, the Vivo X90 Pro+ is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and not the Dimensity 9200 SoC. The X90 and X90 Pro may feature the premium Dimensity chipset. In addition to the top-end chipset, the X90 Pro+ may have a 1440Hz high frequency dimming chip specifically for “eye protection”.
There is no information about the combination of RAM or onboard storage, but the device is expected to feature LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. The Vivo X90 Pro+ can pack a 4,700mAh battery. The device should support 80W wired charging and 50W wireless charging.
Vivo X90 Pro + competition
There are quite a few devices packing the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. iQOO 11 Pro Series, OnePlus 11 Pro, Redmi K60 Gaming Edition and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra are the devices that can feature this premium, flagship SoC.
There are few devices expected to arrive with Dimensity 9200 SoC or Dimensity 1080 SoC. The Snapdragon chipset is said to be better than the aforementioned Dimensity SoC, but detailed reviews and real-life tests should provide better clarity.
Apart from the 2K AMOLED display and Snapdragon SoC, the most notable highlight of the Vivo X90 Pro+ will be the camera or photography hardware. Vivo will reportedly pack a 50MP Sony IMX989V front camera lens. Although the megapixel count seems a bit low, the camera lens is expected to go with a larger 1-inch sensor. This is one of the largest sensors included in a smartphone.
The primary lens is expected to come with a 48MP Sony IMX598 ultra-wide lens, a 50MP IMX578 portrait lens and a 64MP OmniVision OV64A periscope zoom lens. If true, the Vivo X90 Pro+ is one of the few devices that offers 3.5x optical zoom and 10x hybrid zoom.
