Launched in China in November 2022 as the new flagship series, Vivo’s X90 series smartphones are expected to hit the global market on Jan. 31. The Vivo X90 series includes the basic Vivo X90, the Vivo X90 Pro and the Vivo X90 Pro+. Vivo has also reportedly officially announced that it will be releasing the world’s first AI airport mode with the launch of this series. The Chinese smartphone maker reportedly said it is collaborating with sou.com on its AI engine, which will help detect takeoff and landing events efficiently.
In an IT house report (about MySmartPrice), live noted that this would result in a better, faster network and quality user experience. Vivo claimed the technology will boost network speeds by up to 79 percent. This doesn’t affect performance, and the company claims it saves up to 30 percent energy during flight.
The technology will be readily available in the VivoX90 and Vivo X90 Pro, both powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9200 SoC. As before reported, the Vivo X90 series may be launched in Malaysia on January 31 to the global market including India. In Malaysia, the vanilla Vivo X90 is expected to retail for RM3,699 (roughly Rs. 69,000), while the Vivo X90 Pro is expected to cost RM5,299 (roughly Rs. 99,000).
The configurations of the global variants of the Vivo X90 and Vivo X90 Pro will likely be similar to those released in China last year. Both phones are expected to be released globally with a triple rear camera developed in collaboration with Zeiss. The packaging box includes a 120W charger. The smartphones feature a curved display with a punch-hole cutout at the top center to house the selfie camera and a dedicated V2 chip for image processing and AI acceleration.
The standard Vivo X90 could have a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 12-megapixel portrait sensor. The Vivo X90 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to be available globally with a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide sensor, and a 12-megapixel portrait telephoto camera. Both are estimated to have a 32-megapixel front camera. The devices are expected to run the latest Funtouch OS 13 which is based on Android 13.
the Vivo X90 Pro+ was the only model in the lineup released in China with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The Mediatek Dimensity 9200 SoC is expected to power the global variants Vivo X90 and Vivo X90 Pro. It’s worth noting that there hasn’t been any official announcement from Vivo about the debut of the Vivo X90 series in Malaysia or any other global market so far.
