Vivo is preparing to launch its next major smartphone in India, the V80 5G, on October 6, 2026. While the launch date is set, details surrounding the phone’s key features and pricing have begun to surface, pointing to a significant upgrade in camera capabilities.
ZEISS-Powered Camera System
A partnership with ZEISS is central to the V80 5G’s appeal. Vivo is equipping the phone with a triple-camera system headlined by a 50MP Sony LYTIA 700W main sensor with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS). This is paired with a ZEISS-engineered ultra-wide-angle sensor and a 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor supporting ZEISS Night Telephoto with 3x optical zoom and up to 100x zoom. A 50MP ZEISS selfie camera with autofocus will be on the front.
Performance and Display
The Vivo V80 5G will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, launched in May 2025, built on a 4nm process with 8 cores. Testing indicates strong performance, with an AnTuTu 11 score of 132996, and Geekbench 6 scores of 1270 for single-core and 4106 for multi-core tasks. The phone features a 6.59-inch 1.5K flat OLED screen with a peak refresh rate of 144Hz.
Memory, Storage & Battery
The V80 5G will be available in three configurations, all with 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM. Storage options include:
- 128GB UFS 4.1
- 256GB UFS 4.1
- 512GB UFS 4.1
A large 7,200mAh battery will provide power, supported by 90W wired charging.
