Vivo X80 Pro - design, build quality, ease of use

-

 Vivo X80 Pro Vivo is a  smartphone with high-end cameras. Advanced photo modules, help from German Zeiss engineers, super-stabilized picture comparable to a gimbal, a matrix built particularly for Vivo in the basic module, and its own image processing are only the top of the photographic and technical iceberg that slammed the camera of the new Vivo X80 Pro.

Vivo X80 Pro - design, build quality, ease of use

Vivo's top X series models (X51 Pro, X60 Pro, and X70 Pro)  are sleek, subtle-looking, light, and comfortable to use. The new X80 Pro can't be packaged with the same elegance. Particularly its back.

Right side of camera has enormous unused rectangle. Vivo stylists also placed an asymmetrical circle in a big rectangle, where just three camera modules are located. For symmetry, we replaced the fourth eyelet with the Zeiss logo, a mobile photography partner of Vivo. The fourth periscope tele module located on the camera island's lower left. It's a stylistic hodgepodge. Perhaps it was forced by structural issues with placing such an advanced camera portion, but it lacks beauty.



The X80 Pro camera island is larger than the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra camera part with an extra screen. This approach prevents the phone from wobbling on a flat surface.

The smartphone's matte, rough glass rear cover doesn't accumulate fingerprints, even in black (glossy camera section - on the contrary). Many will appreciate Vivo's waterproof flagship ( IP68 ).

The X80 Pro's matte back can surprise itself in high light, creating a unique artistic impact. Surprisingly, the rear panel is more slipperier than traditional glass.

The Vivo X80 Pro is taller, wider, thicker, and 36 grammes heavier than the Vivo X60 Pro. The phone is 165 x 75.9 x 11.6 mm (9.6 mm without the camera protrusion) and 223 grammes (237 grammes with the company case). The new flagship Vivo has a 6.68-inch, 120 Hz, QHD+ AMOLED screen manufactured using LTPO technology. Folded sides make the panel lighter.

Under the screen is a big ultrasonic fingerprint reader (about 2 x 3 centimeters). It allows you to easily and securely unlock your smartphone, as well as register and utilise two fingerprints at once for added protection - a bit excessive for the average user, but the idea is interesting.

Right side of frame has switch and volume control. We won't have trouble getting a finger on the X80 Pro despite its size. Comfortable height.

According to the manufacturer, the top of the housing is embellished with a plastic inlay reading professional photography. We already know this accent from prior X series devices, but I hate that the Vivo can't break out of it - even if it would make the housing structure more complex by requiring new antenna placement. This plastic doesn't match the rest of the housing. Let it not appear that I exclusively criticise Vivo... Xiaomi utilised the same method in the Mi 11 Ultra. Xiaomi 12 series this year doesn't have it.

The plastic insert also hides a microphone aperture and an IrDA port.

Lower frame is aluminium, thankfully. Here we see the main speaker grill from the stereo audio system (the second plays music through the headphone slot), the main microphone opening, the USB 3.1 type C socket, and a card tray that can hold two Nano SIM modules. Vivo X80 Pro has no card slot or headphone jack. Wire USB headphones come with the phone. Today, factory-set accessories are rare.

Factory Equipment

What's in the Vivo X80 Pro package besides USB headphones? A 80 W charger, a USB cable, a plastic cover to protect the phone's back and corners, and a SIM card tray ejector are included.

Speaker and headphone quality

The X80 Pro stereo audio system includes a wide-range bottom speaker and a quieter, smaller top driver. Such a combination creates a stereo effect but lacks volume symmetry. The sound is too flat and harsh for this type of smartphone. Xiaomi 12 Pro's audio system isn't dramatically better than the X80 Pro's, but it sounds richer and more balanced.

The provided headphones sound bass-heavy, with muffled middle and boosted treble. It's not a flagship headset, but for on-the-go listening, it's fine. Light and snug headphones are a plus.

We can connect minijack headphones to the X80 Pro's USB port with a cheap, passive adapter (not provided).

The Vivo X80 Pro lacks a graphic equaliser. We have a technology that improves sound from lossy compressed files, sound optimization when using Vivo and IQOO headphones, and sound calibration based on our hearing and the headphones used. It takes time and effort, but it's worthwhile.

Vivo X80 Pro - technical specifications, performance, battery

Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 is the only chipset for flagship phones. It can and is overall. On the Chinese market, Vivo X80 Pro also comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip, and I'd be pleased to compare both models. I'm intrigued in the Chinese edition's ceramic housing.



For now, let's stick with the European version, which has 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB of data storage, 5G modem, Wi-Fi 6E card, Bluetooth 5.2 module, and NFC module.

The smartphone runs Android 12 with Funtouch OS's functional enhancements. Vivo has so far kept up with Android updates, which were dated June 2022.

India instructs VPN companies to collect and store data for five and hand over to the government.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

-
 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
