Vivo X90 Pro and Vivo X90 Device Overview and Differences

Vivo X90 Pro and Vivo X90, both launched in India on April 26, bear several similarities but have distinct features that set them apart. Both models are built on Android 13-based FunTouch OS and powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9200 SoC. They flaunt Zeiss-branded triple rear camera units and feature Vivo’s V2 chip for image processing. Both models sport 6.78-inch curved 3D AMOLED displays with 120Hz refresh rates and offer up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of onboard storage. However, the differences between them lie primarily in the camera setup and other specifications.

The Vivo X90 Pro, with its premium specifications, comes with a 50-megapixel Sony IMX 989 1-inch sensor, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX758 sensor, and a 12-megapixel Sony IMX 663 sensor, making it slightly superior in terms of camera performance compared to the Vivo X90, which features a 50-megapixel primary Sony IMX866 sensor, a 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 portrait camera, and a 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 ultra-wide-angle camera. The Vivo X90 Pro also offers a higher level of protection with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance, compared to the IP64 rating on the Vivo X90, indicating a higher resilience to environmental elements.

Moreover, the battery of the Vivo X90 Pro is slightly larger at 4,870mAh, supporting both 120W fast charging and 50W wireless charging, which is notably absent in the Vivo X90, which houses a 4,810mAh battery with support only for 120W fast charging. This advanced charging technology in the X90 Pro can charge the battery from zero to 50% in just eight minutes, promising convenience for users seeking swift energy replenishment.

To conclude, while both the Vivo X90 and the X90 Pro come with impressive specifications and features, the Pro variant naturally takes the lead in terms of camera capabilities, protection against dust and water, and battery features, catering to users who are willing to spend a bit more for enhanced functionalities and performance.
