TL; dr.
- Vivo has announced the global launch date for its X90 series smartphones.
- The new flagship phone will launch on February 3.
Vivo launched its X90 series flagship phones in China in late November 2022, offering plenty of power and a versatile camera system from Zeiss. We had to wait a while for the global release but finally the company confirmed the release date.
The Chinese brand announced a global launch on February 3, 2023 (22:00 GMT February 2, 6:00 GMT+8 February 3) on its global website, although it has not disclosed specific markets. However, we assume that the phone will be available in Europe, India and the Middle East.
It's unclear whether all the phones will hit the market, but text on the phones' rear cameras suggests we're looking at at least the Vivo X90 Pro (which has a 50mm focal length).
Vivo X90 Pro features Mediatek Dimensity 9200 SoC, 6.78-inch 120Hz OLED display (2800 x 1260), 4870mAh battery, 120W wired charging, 50W wireless speed, and IP68 rating. . The device also has a 1-inch IMX989 50MP 50MP main camera, a 50MP 2x telephoto camera, and a 12MP wide-angle camera.
Having said that, we are also expecting to see the high-end Vivo X90 Pro Plus. It offers Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset, 6.78-inch 120Hz QHD+ OLED display, 4700mAh battery with 80W wired charging, 50W wireless charging, and IP68 rating. The Pro Plus is also king of the hill when it comes to photography, offering a 50MP one-inch main camera, a 50MP 2x telephoto camera, a 64MP 3.5x periscope camera and a 48MP ultra-wide lens. .
Regardless, we think last year's Vivo X80 Pro was an excellent camera-focused phone that was a bit pricey in markets like Europe. So we hope to see more competitive pricing for these new phones.
