Verdict

The vivo X90s (12GB + 512GB) is a high-performance smartphone featuring a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9200+ processor, 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and 512GB of UFS 4.0 storage for fast operations. Its main characteristics include a stunning 6.78-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display with a sharp 1260 x 2800 pixel resolution and a versatile triple rear camera system (50MP main with OIS, 12MP telephoto with 2x optical zoom, and 12MP ultrawide) with Zeiss optics.
