Vivo V80 Debuts With Zeiss Optics and a High-Refresh-Rate Display

Vivo has unveiled the V80 smartphone in India, featuring a high-refresh-rate display, a large-capacity battery, and a Zeiss camera system. The device has a 7.8 mm-thick aluminum body and a rectangular bump with rounded corners housing the lenses and the signature Aura Light flash (resembling the iPhone 17 Pro camera design). The smartphone has a glass rear panel.

The Vivo V80 features a flat 6.59-inch AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution and a 144 Hz refresh rate. Its claimed peak brightness is 5,000 nits. A fingerprint scanner is built into the display. The smartphone is powered by a 4 nm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor. The memory standards are not the latest: 8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128/256/512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage. The previous model, the V70, had newer memory standards.

The smartphone's main focus is camera quality. The main Zeiss camera system includes a 50 MP primary sensor (Sony LYT-700V, autofocus, OIS, CIPA 4.5), an 8 MP ultrawide module, and a 50 MP telephoto lens (Sony IMX882, OIS, and 3x optical zoom). The camera can record 4K video at 60 fps. The front camera has a resolution of 50 MP.

The battery has a capacity of 7,200 mAh and supports 90 W FlashCharge wired charging. The phone supports dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and eSIM, and offers IP69 water and dust resistance. It weighs 210 g. The smartphone runs Android 17 with the proprietary OriginOS 7 interface.

Vivo V80 prices: 8/128 GB — $655, 8/256 GB — $725, and 8/512 GB — $830. Available colors are Sunrise Anthem, Horizon Blue, and Stellar Black.
