Vivo X80 Pro

Anyone else picking one of these up?

I use my phone for taking pictures... taking calls and whatsapp.

The camera on this seems to be absolutely amazing from the reviews.

Has narrowed it down to the new Xperia or the S22 ultra, maybe a pixel... but after watching some reviews on the photo quality, it just seems like the easiest snap and go phone.

Vivo X80 Pro UK release?

A few reviews say it is getting a worldwide/eu/uk release. Anyone seen any indication that is correct?

Camera looks great. A bit OTT on the processing mind you.

Now just trying to decide on this or the find x5 pro. I ruled out the Sony as it seems to have overheating issues especially when using the camera.

Mini unboxing:

Arrives well packed and sealed.

Box has a lovely premium leather feel to it, its not real leather but it really feels nice in your hands.

Opening up, presented with the phone.

Underneath a little protector set for if you need to change the applied screen protector, apparently can also take it to any service center (lol) and they will give and apply you a new screen protector completely free.

Inside the boxes. A bit fat chunky charger, cable, headphones, case and manual and sim tool. Nice touch given most phones give you sweet FA nowdays. Will obviously replace with a high quality aftermarket.

And the main event.

The back had this matte-effect finish to it, though smooth to the touch. Phone feels solid and well built, quite heavy indeed!

Time to configure it and get some snaps!

Never noticed this phone until now. Interesting to see it's using ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.

It works like an absolute dream. No phone ive tried ever works as good/smooth/accurate/quickly as this one.

How are you finding "Funtouch OS" !? Itching to change/switch/upgrade but keep going back to my S21 Ultra.

The camera is as good as the reviews say it is.

How's the video recording quality?

Well unfortunately had to send mine back for replacement, I think there must have been an issue with the cooling on it or similar as even light use (web pages, whatsapp) was draining the battery like it was being used for gaming and it would get very very hot and freeze.

Not a great start
