Vivo Goes Big On Mobile Photography With Global Release Of X90 Flagship
After the launch of the Vivo X90 series of flagship smartphones in China in November 2002, it spread all over the world. With a focus on photography, the X90 Pro features a 1-inch Sony sensor and Zeiss optics.
“The new X90 series combines our in-house innovations with some of our industry-leading imaging technologies to provide consumers with a range of smartphones equipped to handle some of the most challenging situations, such as night photography and videography,” said Spark Ni. .
The X90 Pro's rear triple camera array is designed to impress, featuring a 50MP primary sensor built around a 1-inch IMX989 sensor to capture more light and detail through Zeiss glass with an F1.75 aperture. Vivo notes that the photosensitive area has increased by 77% and the light absorption by 43% compared to the sensor used in the previous generation of X phones.
Those looking for more detail in low light can take advantage of the 4-in-1 connectivity to increase the pixel size to 3.2µm and get optical image stabilization for smooth shooting.
Other members of the camera family come in the form of a 50MP F1.6 telephoto lens and a 12MP F2.0 wide-angle lens with a 108-degree field of view, based on a Sony IMX758 sensor and reverse optical image stabilization. which emits light to the IMX663 sensor.
Zeiss Natural Color 2.0 is built in for greater color accuracy, and users can adjust the display of on-screen colors in Settings for optimal rendering when showing footage to friends. The motion detection algorithm and high-speed shutter combine for a zero-delay motion capture feature, designed to "freeze the frame" of moving subjects.
The AI-powered Night Scope is capable of handling HDR tones with up to 22-bit color depth and can capture up to 10 frames in RAW format. A manual Astro mode is included for shooting starry nights "with a boost of brightness without the need for a tripod," while Super Moon mode makes lunar landscape shots a viable option.
The 6.78-inch 2800 x 1260 AMOLED display includes a 32MP selfie camera and supports 100% DCI-P3 color gamut.
Inside, the Vivo Pro ran on MediaTek's flagship Dimensity 9200 mobile platform with an octa-core processor and power-optimized graphics. It runs in a dual-chip configuration with the Vivo V2 chip, which has an image processing subsystem and an AI accelerator integrated with onboard memory. System support includes up to 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 256GB of storage.
Elsewhere, there is Bluetooth 5.3 and Wi-Fi 6 plus 5G connectivity, the phone runs Vivo Funtouch OS 13 (which is based on Android 13), and has a 4,700mAh battery with support for 120W wired fast charging and charging. Wireless power 50 watts. Ultra-wide evaporative chamber helps cool down your rig during hot mobile gaming. And the phone is equipped with two SIM cards, including an eSIM for added convenience.
The X90 has a lot in common with the Pro, but the 50MP main module on the back is based on an IMX866VCS sensor, while the 12MP portrait camera and 12MP wide camera are based on the IMX663 sensor. This model also has a slightly smaller 4,690mAh battery.
Surprisingly, Vivo hasn't revealed exactly where people outside of China will be able to buy the new flagship, but we've seen it on the company's Malaysian online store, priced at RM3,699 for the X90 and RM4,999 for the Pro. (Which converts to about $870 and $1,175 in the US, respectively—although an official US release is unlikely).
