Right on schedule, Vivo finally launched its flagship X50 series. The three – Vivo X50, X50 Pro, and X50 Pro+ all sport a stunning new design, and sport skyrocketing figures in their categories.
X50 Pro+
X50 Pro+ has a 6.56-inch OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and runs on the flagship Snapdragon 865 SoC along with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 256GB of UFS 2.1 storage.
It comes with Funtouch OS 10.5 on top of Android 10 pre-installed and houses a 4,315mAh battery with 44W fast-charging.
For optics, the X50 Pro+ is the first smartphone that uses the new 50MP Samsung ISOCELL GN1 sensor along with an 8MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom and allows up to 60x hybrid zoom or as Vivo coins it – Hyper Zoom, a 13MP portrait lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide unit. Upfront is a 32MP snapper.
