So happy to see Mediatek is damn close to Qualcomm, still behind but not by much. This will keep driving the competition ahead.
The video is so detailed that even the manufacturers need to watch it to know more about their own creation 😀👍
😀😀 Haha
Aye chris! Just what we wanted.
Thanks mate for the great video as usual.
I think I'm better off with the Vivo X80 Pro. It has the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner 1440p screen, 1500 peak brightn6, 2x zoom and 5x zoom. And as they say, megapixels are not everything the 8 megapixels 5x optical zoom is better than most higher megapixels phones,
Excellent detailed review as usual thank you and here are some points if you mentioned them in your upcoming reviews will be much appreciated
- DRM info is great but sometimes yoy have to share the playback specifications from Netflix itself to see if they support HDR capabilities
- using third party launcher is is working as default or not plus using navigation gastuers with it
- using standard charging protocol like PD & QC and which version support, this is really important as many of us using third party chargers
- when featuring gaming capabilities especially of fram rate we would like to check PUBG mobile if it does support 90 FPS on smooth graphics or not
- finally the supported Bluetooth and wired audio codec like LDAC, aptX, SBC and AAC.. etc
Your reviews are considered references so addressing these points will help us a lot
Thank you again
Good comparition thanks
Excellent review, many thanks to the author, as always I like it before viewing! The most interesting thing is that I liked the photos taken on Vivo X90 Pro better than on Vivo X90 Pro+, is it really the merit of the Dimension 9200?..
Not sure but more the software optimisation of each phone.
Man, i really wish they actually release X90 Pro+ globally. would've gotten it over samsung this year.
Just import it these phones will never come to the US
@@EtherealGoddess_Ent no phones will come to The Us, Not only x90 pro plus Lol. North America overall is a bad market for phones especially with chinese as you don't get them there except OnePlus and Motorola
@@EtherealGoddess_Ent what about india will they release in india?
Are you afraid to import, dude?
Exactly, You can still import any chinese phones, They'll work perfectly, I haven't seen anyone encountered any issues.
I like the material they use for the back. Glass or smooth backs doesn't make sense
Nice
Would love to see you review the Cubot x70. Thanks...
This is my next phone!!!!!!!;
Its a bit unfortunate that we won't get the Pro Plus version but I don't think this phone is too bad for what it can do. Mobile photographers will love the 1inch sensor and the OS is despite having a lot of bloat ware, generally clean.
I'm more interested in the Chip than anything to see how it performs in my day to day use because I'm using the S23 Ultra right now and that thing is a legitimate monster when it comes to battery.
This throttles far less than the S23 Ultra I have but yes the battery on the S23 Ultra is fantastic. Still great phone for Vivo just needs some updates mostly for the cameras being quite consistent. The 1-inch sensor has huge potential for mobile photographers use to using manual settings to get the most out of it.
they should have release the Pro Plus instead. i doubt there are much global consumers that willing to buy a Chinese flagship over Apple or Samsung but settle for their 2nd best one, and it’s not even cheap.
They should have yes
Yes, price is a bit high, but 1 inch sensor and 50mm portrait lens are also in regular pro, which are most important, long tele is rather gimmick for few days fun and then forget.
Depending on your budget, go for S23Ultra -> Pixel 7 pro -> Oneplus 11 -> Pixel 7 -> Mi 13.
Pretty much everything other than these are kinda trash and after a while you would feel like you wasted your money !
As a person who bought X80 Pro, which I in 6 months because the battery was absolutely abysmal ! It couldn't last 3/4th a day in 4G/5G with moderate usage. I sold and bought Moto Edge 30 Ultra, which lasts around 2.5x of this Vivo crap, it had higher refresh rate, 2x louder speakers and the clean ui felt a lot more responsive that Vivo. Obviously the camera in edge 30 ultra was pretty meh (200mp of absolute meh...), I was using 3rd party camera apps because the oem camera app always takes washed out pictures that felt like it was taken on 2016 phone.
I bought S23Ultra 4 days ago and I gota say its the best damn decision I made. I went to apple store yesterday and did a comparison with 14 Pro Max and maaaan im happy that I didn't buy apple.
Can the x90 pro plus case work on the pro version?
Would the x90 pro plus chinese version work globally if I was to import one?
is the vivo 90 pro plus has wider screen?
1,299€(so I read) for a dumbed down version of their flagship? For me is a shame, sadly. I don't understand Vivo, if they won't sell their flagship globally.
Good morning I would like to know.
Between Honor Magic 5 pro or Vivo X90 Pro+ ?!?
Can you take this doubt away from me?!?
Thanks !!!
Got the pro plus here in Canada. Probably one of very few if any... No android auto but Google maps, phone holder and Bluetooth to car is good enough for me. Still waiting for XDA community to debug bloatware script but I've deleted as much apps as I could from the vivo store. Seems to be pretty good. Haven't seen Chinese apps pop up in my non-paid Netguard pop-up for management. Replaced phone caller app and sms with some more trusted via play store. I like origin os so not looking to replace with nova launcher. Disabled all notifications from Chinese/vivo apps. All in all, great phone. Haven't tested out camera much yet. Going to bring it on my trip and personally compare for myself a6400+tamron 2.8 aperture lens to the main. Only con thus far is I feel microphone and speakers not great/loud. I don't use Nfc payment.
No android auto with the pro +version? Wow this is something to know before you buy the phone.
@@PR-ni5qw if you care about Google assistant, it doesn't work neither. I tried to work Chrome and it refused as well.... So I installed Firefox. I've never been a Google assistant user so not a loss for me.
@@myang1933 I feel it would be great if reviewers like Chris (who btw does an incredible job since years) could mention it. Today Google assistant and android Auto are so important to some of us. No android Auto is an immediate no go for me for example (I think I am not alone)
@@PR-ni5qwnot all reviewers are drivers. Don't think most even mention. But let me put it this way. The plus is a China phone, not global. So you must know that Google reliability is hardly a given. I knew that I was likely going to be compromising though I don't remember which vendor said compatible... It is disappointing the Android auto. But you can work around it with Google maps and Bluetooth.
For me, I've moved off Samsung a few generations ago due to lack of innovation and never could go to Apple environment being a PC/Android person. You're getting cutting edge specs and performance here. 1 inch sensor + vivo v2 chip. My phone charges in less than 30minutes. You won't see that from a Samsung for maybe two generations still.
Respected sir /mam... I m from india and I want to purchase vivo x-90 pro plus from China along with one of my friend out there... Should I go for it?? Will it support Indian 4g/5g bands? All Google Play android services? Or any thing else which can't be accessed over here in India in x-90 pro plus? Will it come with international warranty? If any software issues can I check the service center in India ??? Plz guide me fully so that I can buy this x-90 pro plus from Vivo China 🙏🙏🙏
HI, Thanks for the review..can you please see if the case of the Vivo x90 Pro Plus that comes in the box fits on the x90 Pro? the relly thin one with Vegan backing etc. Thanks
Hi it does.
@@Techtablets And what a case - I wish more manufacturers included cased that replicate the body of the phone!
What better vivo x90pro vs OP11??
Where can I buy pro plus in uk
Nice, i got the plus version since a month and it is the KING, S23 ultra get hot and drop performance, iphone no thanks because is iphone
Thank you for this test Chris 🙏🏽
But, this Vivo X90 Pro is meh!
I would never spend almost $1000 on a smartphone with a Mediatek processor as things stand.
Vivo is surely the only brand that can make me leave Samsung, it would even have been the case this year, if the Vivo X90 Pro+ were sold internationally but with Origin-OS, a selfie camera capable of filming in stabilized 4k60 HDR and especially 4 years of Android update and 5 years of security update like Samsung, OnePlus and Oppo.
We'll see what happens in the years to come 🤞🏽
Ps: I completely agree with you that a 90 hertz option should be available on all smartphones with 120 hertz.
A 1220-1290p option should also be available for all screens with 1440p.
But above all, all smartphones with adaptive 120 / 165 hertz screens should offer adaptive 60 and 90 hertz modes.

Yeah even though it's a great phone, it's a miss for me. The extra price of about $200-$300 dollars over the China version just can't be justified with my pocket. I'd rather just get the China Plus model for around the same price and clean it up, which really isn't that tough to do.
Really. I'd love to do that too.. What's the best place to do that In India
According to Vivo website the cooling VC chamber is only half the size on both Mediatek X90 and X90 Pro... So the throttling likely way more down to this than the SOC. Haven't seen a video taking the X90 Pro apart but would be hard to believe it's the same size if the website menions it's only half the size. And all Vivo X90 have poor battery life on mobile data - it's a shame on X90 Pro+ as they likely cheaped out on buying the X70 modem and went with a cheap solution instead. The modem is the main diference for 8Gen2 over Mediatek 9200 - but only if the manufacturer actually doesn't replace it like BBK so far has always done (otherwise they would have much better battery life on mobile data ). But yeah I would never buy it again (pro+) because of utterly poor software.
Hi. What app do u use to check battery wear?
Antutu
Because of the bad experience I've had with my Galaxy S22 Ultra Exynos (mainly mediocre performance from main camera, multiple bugs and lags and poor repair service) I wouldn't have hesitated to buy Vivo X90 pro+ over the S23 Ultra if it had been released globally.
I think it makes sense for vivo to release this instead of the Pro+. First of all, the X90 Pro starts around 1000 euros or less, whereas the X80 Pro was around 1300 at launch. We're getting Mediatek's flagship chipset in Europe, and that's a first for the Old Continent. Not to mention outstanding cameras, a great design, excellent performance. Overall a great package if you ask me.
I completely agree with you, so I bought myself a Vivo X90 Pro.
@@alicengel6990 If I wasn't broke atm, I would pre-order it right away lol. Hope you're happy with your purchase!
@@dejanstarwars10 Yes, I'm very happy, though I bought the Chinese version, cleaned up by deleting the Chinese apps I didn't need, then installed Google Play with the apps I needed and everything works fine.)
@@alicengel6990 To me that would be what I'd do too if I was buying it. The reduced specs from the Plus model, combined with the much higher price over the China version, just wouldn't be worth it to me. The China model is $899, whereas this is like $200-$300 higher. I'm just not willing to pay that much more for the global Pro version. I could get the China Plus version for $1,099, or basically the same price as the global Pro.
@@alicengel6990 is it easy to install google apps? Everything works or it is random?
Please review OnePlus 11.
Which is better between Vivo x80 pro and Vivo x90 pro?
I was waiting for that x90 pro+ global release, but instead, i got the s23 ultra. What a shame. Would've loved trying the vivo camera as i think it is more appealing, and the gimbal camera is a killer feature. Maybe the X100 Pro+ gets released globally for me to get one.
You could still have bought the Vivo - I got it from China and debloated it. Easy job and I now have a phone with a better OS than funtouch and a phone hardly anyone else has
@Lias yeh my problem is that android auto doesn't fully work even when sideloading. I can live without it but not having warranty is a bit tough. I'll replace my mate 50 pro woth the x100 pro plus and have the s23 uktra become my work phone. I can't wait for vivo camera
Great video!
I'm trying to decide bewtween
- Vivo X90 pro plus
- Oppo Find x6 pro
- Samsung galaxy s23 ultra or +
- Xiaomi 13 Pro or Ultra
What were some of the apps you used to do your tests besides 3d mark? You had a battery test one and a DRM info...
What did you go with?
Compare it to honor magic 5 pro
Personally think the regular x90 is a better option than the x90pro value wise. I tried it for a week in China. The camera optimisation is more consistent and lowlight performance is just as good. Vivo has used the imx866 in more phones with dimensity chispsets and according to them they worked with mediatek on the optimisation of it. The pro is not worth the extra money given how similar the phones are. The x90 also has the advantage of being lighter. Not sure if you had a chance to test it out
No I don't think i'll be able to test it I just got this one from Vivo and bought my X90 Pro+
@@Techtablets Yeah, they seem to have sent the pro variant rather than regular variant to reviewers. Anyway thanks for another great review. Would love if you could review the Oneplus 11 but only if you get a review unit. Not worth buying
I did end up buying the Oneplus 11 it's a nice phone but so far it has the worst throttling I've seen for a flagship
@@Techtablets Thanks. That's a pity although it probably wouldn't make a difference to me personally as I don't play games. Thank you
Just wish these weren't so damn expensive..
Only cameras has some issues, overall it's a awesome phone
I am inclined toward Vivo X90 Pro powered by mediatek smartphone with an AMOLED screen, equipped with 1B colors, and a 120Hz refresh rate.
@AnD, ну чё дружок-пирожок, жди футажи у Фила с моих рук 😂
The fingerprintsensor alone is such a downgrade to the x80 pro its a shame.
Otherwise an unnecessary release with a price tag which makes it unbuyable
Hello! Great comparison as usual. Question: do you use a website to import those china only smartphones? What one do you use? Is it taxed upon arrival? I'm only asking because I also live in Spain and I was always interested in importing those phones, but I was always afraid to be taxed beyond affordability. Thanks!
Hi I used Trading Shenzhen for my X90 Pro+ with their global shipping and had no taxes to pay.
@@Techtablets phenomenal! Thank you for letting me know they are reliable.
Cheers!
No worries.
I used Giztop. No import tax, no shipping and they installed the Google store for me in advance. Took only a week to receive it. Debloat it and you have the best phone on the market!
Holaz vivo en Alemania, como puedo comprar el vivox90 pro plus??
Importarlo con Trading Shezhen.
Pleaser make camparsion video between Honor Magic 5 Pro and Vivo X 90 Pro.. Which one is good option to buy?
The Magic5 Pro is better.
@@Techtablets Thank you for the update.. Eagerly waiting for your detail review on Magic 5 Pro. It's getting released in Germany on 6th April onwards
Sure well my review will be on the 11th.
What do I need 4K video for? My screen doesn't support it nor does my TV. Hell, even my old eyes can't see in 4K 😂
Honestly, the only Chinese phone I'm waiting for this year is the Oppo Find X6 Pro.
It's the best in low light situations and the top 1 in DXOMark right now.. BUUUT as I like to record videos the lack of 8K makes me sad :(
Since you have tested them all.. For camera which do u rate best pixel 7 Pro > vivo x90 pro > xiaomi 13 pro? Or some other order
Pixel 7 pro, X90 Pro+, Mate 50, S23 Ultra are my top phones. Those are all better than the X90 Pro
@@Techtablets thanks for the reply 💪
@@Techtablets Pixel 7 Pro is better than X90 Pro+ ??? My main focus is recording video so 8K is a must :) I think S23 is a beast still on this regard..
Vivo was smart not bringing x90 pro + to global market, because everyone would go for Samsung and apple, I understand And I respect why they always keep their best phones exclusive. Exactly as we had last year with Xiaomi 12s ultra. There is no point to release them globally if majority go for more popular brands which is Unfortunate in my opinion.
Seems like many people go for the popular brands because they happen to be the most available alot of the time. Its not like the Chinese brand phones are widely available in Europe and especially in Canada/US and you certainly won't see them being offered in phone plan deals like you would with Samsung and Apple.
Huawei looked like it was starting to make some progress globally before it got its legs chopped off, so it does seem like the demand is there if people can find other brands of phones more easily.
@@UzumakiNaruto_ 🤝🏽
They should've replace that 2x zoom with 3.5x zoom because using that 3.5x for portrait is better than 2x
It's available in X90 Pro Plus and it's fantastic. The only problem is that Vivo decided not to distribute the best model of the series outside china.
3.5x indoor is too narrow, for me 2x is perfect
@@PatrickWithCamera Zoom in using 1x ..
I was thinking of buying the Vivo 90 Pro+, but then I found out that the phone can not be rooted. So now I will no longer be buying it.
Even the x100 has no 4k front camera its stil 1080p wtf
Such an expensive phone with such cheap color science. Inadmissible.
Lol this is 100x better than that xiaomi 13
Crime patrol
How so?
This is global release is rubbish for your money when you buy it. I have it and I'm using it now. I regret purchasing. Is better you buy a Samsung or pixel.
A very difference experience from my X90 Pro+ it really should have been the Pro+ we got globally.
@@Techtablets This model is a bit like a forgotten model in China. Sales are low. The regular x90 is a very big seller and i think they have focused more on optimising that as it's their biggest seller in the series. I thought they released that globally as well but all the reviews seem to be for the pro model which is a pity
What are the shortcomings you've encountered please?
Definitely worth importing the Pro Plus, it's a significant bump up. The Pro feels closer to the OnePlus 11 which is a half tier below.
@@maxszeto7030 Oneplus 11 is also way cheaper
Because the front camera of the Vivo V27 Pro already supports 4K60fps video recording, I'm sure the Vivo X series released this year will do the same! So, I hope the Vivo X series launched this year will carry the specifications below
