The real reason to care about Vivo’s latest phone is the camera [Gallery]

The Vivo V80 sports flagship design quality, a massive 7200mAh battery, Center-Stage selfie camera, IP68/69 ingress protection, and one of the wildest AI camera modes I’ve seen yet.

When I think of the smartphone industry’s best cameras, Vivo or Oppo usually comes to mind. While both companies offer good experiences on any phone they sell, their best features often appear only on flagship models. But the Vivo V80, which retails for just ₹62,999 (~$660), features the company’s new flagship AI camera mode, and that might be the single most interesting thing about the release for me.

Let’s get the full specs out of the way first. The Vivo V80’s got a 6.59-inch 144Hz OLED display, featuring 1.5k resolution, true 10-bit colors (no dithering), and 4320Hz PWM dimming at low brightness (plus an option for full DC dimming). Inside is a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, 8GB RAM, and that massive 7200mAh battery with 90W charging. Good stuff.

The Vivo V80 uses a main 50MP Sony LYTIA 700V sensor, a 3x optical 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto camera, an 8MP or 12MP ultrawide camera (region-dependent), and a 50MP ZEISS center-stage 90-degree selfie camera. The phone is available in India, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and other regions in the coming weeks.

To illustrate just how interesting the new AI Creation camera mode is, I took a bunch of photos using the same mode on the Vivo X500. That phone is about $300 more expensive, but it features the same AI Creation mode as the Vivo V80.
