Vivo X90 Series Released: New Contenders For Best Camera Phone
Vivo has been steadily upping its camera game over the past few years, and the X80 Pro in particular has emerged as one of the best camera phones of 2022. Now the company has released X90, X90 Pro and X90 Pro Plus models.
All three phones look very similar with faux leather backs and Oreo camera bodies. All three devices have a left-to-right metal strip on the back with a more stylized "Limited Imagination" branding. The device is available in black and red, though the vanilla X90 is also available in an ice blue color option.
The Vivo phone also shares some common features like a 32-megapixel camera at the center, a dedicated V2 imaging chip, Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating for the camera, Origin OS 3 on Android 13, NFC and Bluetooth 5.3. .
Vivo X90 Pro Plus: Premium version
The Pro Plus model is definitely the top model. It's the only phone in the lineup to use the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor, and it offers a 6.78-inch 120Hz OLED display (3200 x 1440, E6), a 4700mAh battery, 80W wired charging, and wireless speeds. 50 watts.

However, cameras are not just hardware. According to Vivo, the X90 Pro Plus supports manual astrophotography, a tilt-and-shift mode called Miniature Blur, a horizon correction feature for capturing skyscrapers and other tall buildings, a portrait mode with lens flare, and the ability to freeze subjects at low levels. light.
Standard and professional phone
Looking for something cheaper? This is where the Vivo X90 and X90 Pro come into play. Both devices use a Mediatek Dimensity 9200 processor, 120W wired charging, a 6.78-inch 120Hz (2800x1260) OLED panel, and an optical fingerprint sensor on a traditional display.
However, there are some differences between the two models. The X90 Pro has a 4,870mAh battery, 50W wireless charging, and an IP68 rating, while the standard device has a 4,810mAh battery, no wireless charging, and an IP64 rating.
This difference also applies to cameras. The Pro model still retains the same 50MP 1-inch main camera and 50MP 2x telephoto lens as the Pro Plus. This opens the door to the aforementioned features such as handheld astrophotography, tilting, and subject freezing. But it replaces the 48-megapixel ultra-wide lens with a 12-megapixel lens and does away with the periscope camera altogether.
Meanwhile, the standard device has a 50-megapixel IMX866 main camera, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera (108-degree field of view) and a 12-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x fixed focus.
