Vivo X90 Pro Plus Is the World’s First Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 Smartphone

In 2023, the majority of Android phones will use Qualcomm's new technology, but China will be first. The Vivo X90 Pro Plus is the first smartphone in the world to use the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. The majority of the flagship Android devices that will be released in 2023 will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, however BBK's Vivo is releasing ahead of schedule. On December 6, the phone will be released in China at a price of 6,499 CNY (about $910).

The cameras are also very large, with Sony's 1-inch IMX989 sensor taking the lead and being accompanied by a 64MP 3.5x telephoto, a 48MP ultrawide, and a 50MP portrait camera.

This is one of the exciting new features that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 enables. Wi-Fi 7 support would have been welcome, but this phone only offers Wi-Fi 6. The Chinese spec sheet should support AV1, but it's difficult to know what's going on with it.

A polished metal strip with the words "Xtreme imagination" written on it runs around the back of the circle, which is slightly off-center and odd-looking. You can see how this BBK phone will resemble the reported OnePlus 11 except for the metal strip. Oppo, Vivo, OnePlus, Realme, and iQOO are all owned by BBK, and they all share many components. According to reports, the OnePlus model could launch before the end of the year, although like previous years, it might be restricted to China for a while.
