- It features a new AI Creation camera mode that automatically scans scenes and applies optimized styles.
- The device carries an IP68 and IP69 ingress protection rating for dust and water resistance.
Vivo has introduced the Vivo V80 smartphone, bringing flagship-level camera technology and a large battery to a mid-range price point. According to a report by 9to5Google, the device retails for ₹62,999, which is approximately $660, and will be available in India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East in the coming weeks.
The phone distinguishes itself with a 7200mAh battery that supports 90W charging capabilities. It is powered by a Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 processor paired with 8GB of RAM. The display is a 6.59-inch OLED panel with 1.5k resolution, true 10-bit color support, and 4320Hz PWM dimming at low brightness levels.
Camera and Design Specifications
The Vivo V80 features a main 50MP Sony LYTIA 700V sensor and a 3x optical 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto camera. An ultrawide camera is included, with resolution varying between 8MP and 12MP depending on the region. The front-facing camera is a 50MP ZEISS center-stage lens with a 90-degree field of view.
The device offers IP68 and IP69 ingress protection ratings. This level of protection guards against dust ingress and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. The design quality is described as flagship-tier, matching the aesthetic standards of higher-end models from the manufacturer.
AI Camera Functionality
A key feature of the Vivo V80 is the inclusion of Vivo’s new flagship AI Creation camera mode. According to 9to5Google, this mode was previously available on the more expensive Vivo X500, which costs about $300 more. The AI mode scans the scene through the viewfinder and automatically applies a style it deems best for the lighting and subject matter.
Users can accept the automatic style or choose from two additional quick-select options. They can also access a full user interface to manually select specific styles. The mode aims to improve color accuracy and depth in challenging lighting conditions, such as under sporadic cloud cover, by automating post-processing adjustments at the time of capture.
What should you do?
Security and technology professionals should monitor the release for any software vulnerabilities associated with the new AI processing features or the customized Android skin. Users in the target regions should verify the specific ultrawide camera resolution available in their market before purchasing.
What to do and how to stay safe: Vivo
- Verify the specific camera sensor configuration and ultrawide resolution available in your region before purchasing.

- Check local warranty terms regarding IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance claims.
- Review the device's privacy policy to understand how the AI Creation mode processes image data locally or in the cloud.
