Vivo V80 Review: Strong Cameras, But A Steep Price
The Vivo V80 is a phone that costs Rs 62,999.
Its main and zoom cameras take very good pictures, and its front camera also performs well.
The wide-angle camera is less impressive.
The screen is bright and can refresh quickly, though it usually runs at a lower refresh rate to save battery.
The phone has a large battery that can last more than a day and a half with regular use.
It handles everyday activities well, but it is not best suited to demanding games or many heavy apps at once.
The reviewer also likes its design and water and dust protection.
The main question is whether its good cameras and battery are worth the high price.
The Vivo V80 starts at Rs 62,999, a price the review considers high.
Its 50MP main and 50MP 3x periscope cameras deliver strong photos and video.
The 8MP ultrawide camera is a notable weakness in the camera setup.
The Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 handles everyday tasks but is not ideal for heavy gaming or demanding workloads.
A 7,200mAh battery, 90W charging, and IP68/IP69 ratings are among its strengths.
