Vivo has launched the Vivo X90 series in China. The latest flagship smartphone lineup from the company consists of three models, namely Vivo X90, Vivo X90 Pro, and Vivo X90 Pro Plus. They bring minor upgrades over the Vivo X80 series.
Here in this article, let’s take a look at the vanilla model. If you are interested in learning about the Pro models, you can check them out here – X90 Pro and X90 Pro+.
The Vivo X90 looks similar to the Pro models. It has a giant circular camera module on the rear and a curved display on the front. There’s also a strip on the back with the text ‘Xtreme Imagination.’
The device comes in two finishes. One of the colors has a leather back, while the remaining two have a glass back.
The phone flaunts a 6.78-inch centered punch-hole 10-bit curved OLED display with a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels, 452 PPI, and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel supports up to a 2160Hz PWM dimming and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut.
The smartphone is powered by the latest MediaTek Dimesnity 9200 chipset. The SoC is paired with LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. It also comes with Vivo V2 ISP chip.
As far as optics are concerned, the handset sports a Zeiss-powered triple camera setup on the rear. The system comprises an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX866 primary snapper, a 12MP ultra-wide unit, and a 12MP 2x telephoto shooter. On the front, it will feature a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.
The device boots OriginOS 3 based on Android 13. Other features include an IP64 rating, an x-axis linear vibration motor, and dual stereo speakers. Unfortunately, it arrives with a USB 2.0 port, like the previous models.
Last but not least, the phone is backed by a 4,810mAh battery with support for 120W fast wired charging.
