I've had this phone for 2 months. It has a spectacular camera (although for video, a lot of options are limited to 1080p) and great hardware but I would not recommend it at all. Battery life is TERRIBLE, I can rarely squeeze more than 4:30-5h out of it (with the display set at 2400x1800 and refresh rate at 60Hz). Functouch OS is quite buggy (notifications sometimes don't work for certain apps, the overly aggressive power management doesn't play well with certain apps, there's considerable visual lag when transitioning between apps, defeating the purpose of 120Hz displays, etc) and has an interface that feels pretty dated; the phone heats up BIG TIME not only with CPU-demanding tasks but also networking (cellular and WiFi); network activity chews through the battery at an alarming rate and Vivo's customer service is terrible. If reviewers actually used this phone as their daily driver for a couple of weeks they'd quickly realize that it's not a polished enough package to warrant its price tag and is far from providing the smooth, bug-free experience a top-end phone this price should offer. I decided to give it a chance but seriously regret not returning it.
To be honest, GSM arena reviews the phone on their own and ranks it according to how it's compared to other reviewers who lie to us. Thank you for the great work. You're genuine to what you do. Your the best.
Im commenting from it's younger brother Vivo x80 which i bought couple of days ago , i must say its a best phone of 2022 , Very very Beautiful elegant display, Excellent Still camera , pictures are very cool & with natural colors, looks are just stunning in urban blue color, my olny concern is it's battery performance as im getting just 6 hours & 30 minutes of screen time from 100% to 6% as i was expecting at least 8 hours of S.O.T from Media tech Diminsity 9000 .. Anyhow good thing is i could charge it in just 35 minutes from 5% to 100% ... Its speakers front & bottom are better then average but not loud or loudest...& Playing music on it is not a good experience as well .. Also it's video camera is just ok or better then average... This is my honest review .. but still i like it's design, display, still camera , performance & gaming experience.. only lag is little bit heating issues when i was continuously shooting pictures with its 50 mp camera .. & also I don't like that there is no headphone jack
Crazy, I thought the dimensity chip should solve the overheating problems and the battery life should be significant better than on the snapdragon, I really hate hot Smartphones, maybe I have to reconsider my choice to buy the x80pro with the 9000er - and very Sad the PRO model don't give u the nice blue color for the dimensity...
Your whole front camera review are 2 daylight selfies? Wtf... and no mention of night video mode which everyone is praising. ...and still no moving subject test, but nobody else is doing that so I can't blame you much. Its like nobody has kids and pets in this world.
Hi GSMArena, I would like to see more how smartphone cameras handle colours of light sources in darker conditions. Lights such as neon lights and warmer-toned light bulbs. You're doing a good job, but at this point most cameras from mid-range to flagship take nice photos at 12MP in the daylight, and to find variations you pretty much just have to start pixel-peeping. I feel like this is not enough anymore, and the focus should start to tip more towards how well the cameras can actually produce a more artistic type of picture: How well does it render the colors of city lights when it's darker? Or as I suggested earlier, a warm light bulb indoors? How much contrast can it handle? I feel like the current night- and HDR-modes are only all about increasing the brightness of the photos, which just seems like false advertising.
5:24 Galaxy S22 Ultra 25 watt charger charges Faster than the Galaxy S22 ultra 45 watt charger. I don't know what's going on with phones these days, X80 pro has lower battery performance than X70 pro plus with 4500 MAh battery.
Chinese brands still have a lot of optimization left to do but pricing wise they are right at the iPhone and Galaxy S series at least in europe. I don't get why people switch to them.
This is a very narrow view. I agree that most Chinese flagship phones are no better priced and offer no better features. I think most people buy them for specific features (like MIUIs Dual Video or Vlog camera) or go for the fully featured midrange phones that come in at about half the price due to a previous version Gorilla Glass or chip set. My last two phones were Xiaomi products that had to be well researched to get in Canada. Both outperformed my Samsung products in many ways.
@@williamholmes8499 I've used midrange and flagship Chinese phones and they offer no additional features that are of value to me. I wouldn't call their midrangers are "fully featured" since even their flagships cut more corners than a circle. North American midrange market is a scam so I can kinda see your point but europe's is quite competitive. That's the only thing Chinese phones are good for: to force Samsung to lower prices.
Vivo is making waves these days🔥🔥🔥 Asides from the average battery life, it’s got its portrait mode being compared with that of an iPhone! Who else agrees with me that it’s indeed a considerable development? Great video as usual. Keep it up Will👏
It works but there are far more power-hungry parts of a phone than the refresh-rate, especially as much we do it at 60-120Hz (or what I do). So when on Twitter, in a browser or gaming, we are killing the battery at 120Hz and there are few situations where it can power down to below 60Hz.
How about slow motion capabilities of these camera, does it has true 980 fps slowmo? Can you share all the fps is Capable of shooting. Didn't find it anywhere
In the clips with those cars moving by, the video looks jittery, with stops and goes. Is it an effect of your compilation for youtube or did it look like this on the phone's screen, which would raise deep concerns ?
Im planning in going back to android soon so for a mobile gamer and person who takes a lot of videos/photos is this good? Cause i did hear u say there's heating problems? Also im in the states and so im curious what phone carriers can it use
There ARE actually decent quality ultrawide modules in existence!? If they'd give this thing some actual storage or at least a MicroSDXC/Express slot it would be a real contender for me.
after years of owning samsung note 3, I bought Samsung a72 a year ago, and now finally is the time for me to get a flagship but damn every flagship this year have a overheating issue because of the 8 gen 1, damn how they can't handle cooling like it should be, or is this overheating thing overrated because of the very critical reviewing? 😖
which one to buy? Vivo X80 Pro Samsung Galaxy s22 Ultra Oppo Find X5 Pro OnePlus 10 Pro 5G Xiaomi 12 Pro Realme GT2 Pro Poco F4 GT Red Magic 7 Motorola Edge 30 Pro ZTE Axon 40 Ultra
I want a review of Will's workout routine. Dude's jacked up
😂
His gym routine is crushing Nokia 3310’s in gsmarena’s basement. Trying to destroy the indestructible gets you jacked.
Lol 🤣
Just about to say! Will is looking bigger
I noticed that too! Deym, Will!
Underrated company, and this x series is also highly underappreciated ngl, this series bring a bunch of innovation since x20 plus ud
The gym has been working for you 💪 keep it up
I don’t like it, he looks better full on skinny
A camera can calling 😅

Looking for your review on the cheaper X80, especially on battery life, chip performance and heat issue, and finally camera comparison.
Everything except for the battery life is great in this Vivo.Nice review will and GSMArena team😍.Can't wait for the next one.

Wut overheating issue!??
Thank you, you just saved me $2000

It is a joke. It slightly thermal throttles like every flag ship this year. Except for a few gaming orientated phones.

I dont know why Vivo used their awesome Gimbal OIS on the useless 2x Zoom camera. They should put it on the Main or UW.
Chinese brands still have a lot of optimization left to do but pricing wise they are right at the iPhone and Galaxy S series at least in europe. I don't get why people switch to them.

Great video as usual. Keep it up Will👏
Honor Magic 4 Pro or Vivo X80 Pro? I have seen both reviews, however, still difficult to decide.
I am more toward the best camera in the smartphone.
Then it's the Honor Magic 4 Ultimate for you.

@キューティ・プラス yes, but this one doesn't have the nice light blue color choice, only x80 without "pro" give u the blue and the 9000 chipset.... Sad!
@キューティ・プラス yes, but for the x80pro dimensity u don't get the light blue color, that's just sad!

Whats lazer af? Is it better than lidar does it have a 3d scanning app.
Is this Vivo x 80 pro work on ATT?
Can anyone tell me the Game name that showing at 4:36 . Thank u
Hi GSMArena, can you tell if the Funtouch OS is stable ? Does it has any bugs which will ruin the user experience ?
Better get the phone directly from China with Origin OS, it is much more sophisticated.
Hi GSMArena, some weird guy in my college just told me this phone supports display out, can you tell me further about this information?
Where can I buy it
What is the difference between global and Chinese version?
Which one is good iPhone 13 pro Max or Samsung s22 ultra or Vivo x80 pro ?
Vivo x80 pro , I got the chance to try the demo unit and it feels great and I don't feel any overheating issues when I compared it with the S22+.
Vivo the huawei alternative
There ARE actually decent quality ultrawide modules in existence!?

Which off-road Jeep game was that? Can you give name please
Same q. Please!
Does this support PD charging
What a great android top of the line flagship. Nice job Vivo
How about the X80 5G (the one with the Mediatek Dimensity 9000 SoC)?
Anyone else noticed the guy getting pumped up!
Great review my friend. This phone will be in my pocket very soon
Please do battery drain test
How about over heating issues while recording videos for about 30 minutes or under direct sunlight.,??
still confused what is better camera, Xiaomi 12S ultra or VIvo X80 Pro?
Depends. Editing the raw photo is better on 12s ultra and the auto mode on the vivo is better.
Will, you look jackedddddd!! 👀👀👀😳😳😳💪💪💪
When x80 review will come?
What Name of Track Game.
What about 5x zoom at 4k !!!.??.
Please make videos on Itel too

Speaking of heating issues, anyone else getting a little heat when taking pictures? Like ~10 pictures in succession and the phone gets a little hot.
If it doesn't hinder performance it's perfectly fine.
Choose x80 no overheat issue
So the gimbal video is for 1080 2x zoom only? on it 1x and at 4k?
Reno 8 review please
What's the name of that monster truck game?? 🤔
Watching on My vivo x80pro
How is camera and video calling performance
Too bad Vivo phones can't get rooted. Theyre the perfect candidate since they pack such an amazing hardware.
Can this phone be used on the verizon network in the USA?
The best of the Best
No one comes closer 😊
That one or the pixel 6 pro? For the camera
Definitely vivo
Damn bruh, you've been buffed.
Is there any Portrait Video Improvements.,?
It's time to change the song for the speaker test.
Superb review ❣️❣️
I want this one
I have it so good
It's a good test! 😃👍
But what's the point of having all those good camera features if I can't use a card as a memory extender??? 😳
How big the camera module people want it to be?
Vivo: Yes.
Where can I buy a global model?
Any one knows name of that game ?
pls review vivo x80. not to be confused with x80 pro.
That camera bump is ugly. The X70 Pro+ was over the top, but stylish. This is just overdone.
I was wondering if yall can do a review on the vivo x fold??
which game u were playing in this phone?
Jacked as all hell. Good for you 👍 👏
What game is that??
How about front camera video?
This looks good 💯👌🏾🔥
I love this phone only problem is Spending 80k on brand that sells 8k phones
Even samsung did that 😅
You better stick with iPhone their prices and quality are always premium
man look at those traps!
Will looks super hot!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥
Looking Good... 💪🏾
Why always same subject and same people with same smile? Picture quality could be more justify with different People with different smile.
Great 👏🔥💯👍
is it just me or is he buffer than last year
Do a review of Motorola Edge 30
why are u base in Sofia
Better wait for Mi 12 Ultra - that will make this phone look obsolete.
