Vivo has announced the V80, a new mid-range smartphone with a camera system co-engineered by Zeiss.
Compared to Vivo’s recently announced X Fold6 and X500 Series smartphones , the V80 has a decidedly less advanced camera system. This is little surprise, given that the phone costs about 580 euros, or about $650, rather than the 720 euros ($810) of the base X500. The even better X500 Pro Max is about 910 euros ($1,020).
That said, the V80 still has reasonably impressive main and telephoto cameras. The 50-megapixel main camera has a Type 1/1.56 image sensor and a 23mm f/1.9 lens. The 50-megapixel telephoto camera is also solid on paper. It uses a Type 1/1.95 chip and a 73mm-equivalent periscope telephoto lens.
