We have ended the 2022 smartphone launch season. Qualcomm has already announced its flagship chipset for 2023, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, which means that Android smartphone makers are starting to race to release their next generation phones. A week after the debut of its previous official and impressive Snapdragon chip, Vivo has announced the X90 Pro+, which is said to be the world's first phone with Qualcomm's latest SoC chip. Vivo X90 series consists of three phones including X90 and X90 Pro. All phones have excellent hardware with a special focus on camera performance.
Vivo equipped the entire X90 series with a 6.78-inch AMOLED display, 50MP main camera, dual SIM 5G and OriginOS 3 based on Android 13. The Vivo X90 Pro Plus is one of three phones with four super cameras and a higher display resolution. It should be the first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone. Oppo is proud to announce the world's first Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 phone, but it hasn't revealed when it will be available yet.
