Vivo Claims Its New X90 Pro Phone Can Charge Completely in 30 Minutes

Vivo’s latest flagship telephone line arrived on the heels of the corporate’s largest Android rival. The Chinese telephone maker introduced the brand new X90 and X90 Pro on Friday, simply days after Samsung’s Galaxy S23 launch. The X90 Pro’s standout options are its 120-watt charger and the 1-inch Sony IMX 989 sensor, which is utilized in the principle digital camera. 

I had an opportunity to check the Vivo X90 Pro out for a short while earlier than the launch, the place I centered my consideration on testing the digital camera. In my restricted time with the telephone, I discovered that it serves up a flexible vary of pictures with readability through the day and evening, and it has a stunning depth of subject. Sometimes nevertheless, pictures did not prove as vibrant as I’d anticipated, even within the daytime, which stunned me as a result of this telephone is supplied with a 1-inch Sony IMX 989 sensor. Larger sensors are designed to permit extra gentle in, and subsequently are supposed to permit for the manufacturing of brighter, clearer photographs.

Apart from the digital camera, the Vivo X90 Pro has all of the hallmark options of a high-end flagship in 2023. There’s a 6.78-inch AMOLED show, three cameras headlined by two 50-megapixel cameras, a big battery and zippy 120-watt charging. Xiaomi’s 12T Pro has 120-watt quick charging too and it was my favourite characteristic on that telephone even if it additionally has a 200-megapixel digital camera. 

It’s value mentioning that the Vivo X90 Pro runs on the Mediatek Dimensity 9200 chip. That’s a divergence from Samsung’s newest lineup of Galaxy S23 telephones, which run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Ge 2. There’s additionally only one variant coming with 12GB RAM and 256GB inner storage.

Pricing data wasn’t out there on the time of this writing. But count on a world launch in components of Europe and Asia for the X90 sequence. There is not any US launch deliberate at the moment.

X90 Pro’s odd design selection on the again

For a telephone in 2023, the X90 Pro’s design seems comparatively extraordinary from the entrance. The rectangular show has curved edges and includes a a punch-hole cutout within the heart housing the selfie digital camera. But flip it over, and you may see a slender bar working by means of the width of the chassis (under the digital camera module). 

No, it is not a digital camera bar as seen on Google’s Pixel 7 lineup, it is merely a flat bar emblazoned with the phrases “Xtreme Imagination” working throughout the rear of the telephone. Frankly, it makes for a weird selection that undermines the general design of an in any other case glossy telephone. Above this perplexing bar, is the round digital camera bump housing three lenses. There’s additionally daring vivo branding on the backside, which I do not notably take to however I can perceive why its there.

X90 Pro’s Zeiss lenses

Vivo says this telephone offers you a chunk of professional pictures tools in your pocket. That’s why it is smart that the corporate has flexed its digital camera partnership with Zeiss, a 176-year previous firm thought of a pioneer in optical pictures. There are three cameras on the X90 Pro: a 50-megapixel important digital camera, a 50-megapixel portrait digital camera and a 12-megapixel wide-angle lens. 

The pictures I shot utilizing the telephone had been respectable, and I really like how portrait pictures come out with a dramatic bokeh impact. However, as I stated earlier, some pictures turned out to be extra shadowy than I’d anticipated, given the sensor dimension. You can see the cameras in motion under.

Vivo X90 Pro battery

The X90 Pro has a 4,780-mAh battery, which may be replenished with a bundled 120-watt charger or a 50-watt wi-fi charger (offered separetly). The telephone gives two charging modes, quick charging and balanced mode. Vivo says the X90 Pro may be charged to 50% in 8 minutes and 10 seconds utilizing the previous mode. Balanced mode is seemingly superb for on a regular basis charging, and takes 29 minutes to revitalize the battery to a full cost, in accordance with Vivo. I did not get an opportunity to check this characteristic out, however remember to test again on this web page as I’ll plan to replace it as soon as I’ve extra insights.

New Vivo X90 Pro options

Vivo modified an array of options from the telephone’s predecessor, the V80 Pro. Apart from swapping out the chip from Qualcomm to a Mediatek one, it ditched the ultrasonic fingerprint reader, telephoto digital camera and diminished show decision. The 3D Sonic Max characteristic was one which set the X80 Pro aside from quite a few Android flagships, so it is disappointing to see it go.
