Introduction<\/p>\n

The vivo V80 is an attractive upper-midrange smartphone with plenty going for it. It combines a striking design with a premium AMOLED display, Zeiss-branded cameras, and a massive battery, making for a compelling package on paper. But look a little closer, and the V80 starts to feel remarkably familiar.<\/p>\n

\"Vivo<\/p>\n

The vivo V80 features a 6.59-inch AMOLED screen with a sharp 1260p resolution, a 144Hz refresh rate, and HDR support. It is powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM.<\/p>\n

Photography is one of the V80’s main selling points, with a Zeiss-branded camera setup featuring a 50MP primary camera, a 50MP 3x telephoto, and an 8MP ultrawide. There’s also a 50MP selfie camera with autofocus, a feature that remains surprisingly rare.<\/p>\n

\"Vivo<\/p>\n

The V80 packs a large 7,200mAh battery with support for 90W fast wired charging and bypass charging.<\/p>\n

On the software side, the phone ships with Android 17 and OriginOS 7.<\/p>\n

And that’s where the excitement starts to fade. Despite its fresh design, the vivo V80 is an incredibly modest upgrade over the V70 from six months ago, or even the V60 from over a year ago. The most notable change is the display’s 144Hz refresh rate, up from 120Hz, but that higher rate is supported in only a handful of apps. The battery capacity has also grown from 6,500mAh to 7,200mAh, and there’s a newer version of Android. Beyond that, there’s precious little to separate the V80 from its predecessors. We certainly expected more.<\/p>\n

Unboxing the vivo V80<\/p>\n

The vivo V80 ships inside a thick black box. It contains a 90W power adapter, a USB-A-to-C cable, and a transparent silicone case.<\/p>\n
