Third-party reviews

What customers like about vivo X80 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • Excellent camera performance, especially in low light conditions with great HDR and detail in photos and videos from the main and ultrawide lenses.
  • Stunning 6.78-inch QHD+ 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display that is bright, colorful, and sharp.
  • The in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor is fast, accurate, and has an impressively large scanning area, allowing one-tap registration.
  • Very fast 80W wired charging (full charge in under 40 minutes) and 50W wireless charging support.
  • Premium build quality with an official IP68 water and dust resistance rating.
  • Flagship-grade performance in everyday tasks and most gaming, powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor.
  • Solid battery life that comfortably lasts a full day, and for some users, a day and a half with moderate use.
  • High-quality audio experience through dual stereo speakers and included USB-C wired earbuds.
  • Included accessories in the box (80W charger, case, earbuds) are a significant value-add compared to competitors.

What customers don't like about vivo X80 Pro (12GB + 512GB)

  • The software (FunTouch OS) comes with pre-installed bloatware/unwanted apps, which can be difficult to remove and has some UI inconsistencies.
  • The phone can get warm or suffer from performance throttling during sustained heavy use, such as intense gaming sessions or prolonged video recording.
  • The 5x optical zoom camera is considered less detailed and performs worse than competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra.
  • Uncertainty and concern regarding long-term software updates and security patch support.
  • The rear camera module design is described by some as large, awkwardly laid out, and prone to smudging.
  • The selfie camera is considered decent but not a significant improvement over previous models and slightly behind the competition.
  • Some users report the phone is slippery to hold without a case due to the frosted glass finish.
  • Lack of 4K video recording capability on the telephoto cameras; resolution is limited to 1080p.

Verdict

The Vivo X80 Pro (12GB + 512GB) is a high-end flagship smartphone from 2022, known for its exceptional camera capabilities developed in collaboration with ZEISS. It features a large 6.78-inch WQHD+ (1440 x 3200 pixels) LTPO3 AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a very fast, large-area ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor. The phone is powered by the high-performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor (or MediaTek Dimensity 9000 in some regions) and includes a dedicated V1+ imaging chip for enhanced photo and video processing. Its versatile quad-camera system (50MP main, 48MP ultrawide, 12MP 2x telephoto with gimbal OIS, and 8MP 5x periscope telephoto) delivers superb low-light performance and unique cinematic video modes. Key pros include its stunning display, excellent and fast 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, and an official IP68 dust and water resistance rating. The main cons are that the phone can be prone to overheating and thermal throttling under heavy use, the Funtouch OS software comes with bloatware, and it lacks expandable storage via a microSD card slot.
