Vivo X90 Pro Long-Term Review: A Complete Flagship Package
(Translated)Show original

Verdict

The Vivo X90 (12GB + 256GB variant) is a flagship smartphone focused on camera performance and speed. Key specifications include a 6.78-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display with a 1260 x 2800 pixel resolution, powered by the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9200 processor and a dedicated V2 imaging chip. It features a versatile ZEISS co-engineered triple rear camera system (50MP main with OIS, 12MP ultrawide, 12MP 2x telephoto) and a 32MP front camera, all backed by a 4,810mAh battery with rapid 120W FlashCharge support. Pros are its blazing-fast performance, excellent camera quality in various conditions, and the included 120W charger which can reach 50% charge in approximately eight minutes. Potential cons include the lack of expandable storage, no 3.5mm headphone jack, an IP64 rating (less water-resistant than some flagships), and a tendency to run warm under heavy use.
