Vivo X30 Series Official with Exynos 980 Chip Set and 32 MP Portrait Camera

After many leaks and some teasers, the Vivo Chinese manufacturer has official its newest smartphone series, called "X". The first models to be announced to the family are the Vivo X30 and the X30 Pro.

Both devices feature 5G connectivity and are the first smartphones in the world to feature the Exynos 980 processor.

In terms of design, both devices bring great screen enjoyment to their 6.44 ”(2400 x 1080) Super AMOLED panels, with only 2.98 mm edges and a screen hole for the front camera.

For bio-metrics, we have the presence of a fingerprint reader under the screen, as well as the manufacturer, included the facial unlocking feature.

The Exynos 980 chip-set is the first made by Samsung with an integrated 5G modem; The eight-core processor developed in partnership with Vivo features Cortex-A77 cores, 8 GB of RAM and options with 256 and 128 GB of storage.

Compatible for SA and NSA networks (n41 and n78 bands), the modem can achieve download speeds of up to 2.55 Gbps. Still talking about wireless connections, we have in the models the presence of Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 5.8 GHz), Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC.

In connection with connections, to the delight of many, the notebooks feature the nostalgic P2 earphone plug, as well as charging via the USB-C port (up to 33-Watts, with fast Charge Flash charging). The battery has 4350 mAh capacity.

An extra interesting is the liquid cooling system present in the notebooks, which can keep the temperature low even when they are performing intense tasks.

Speaking of the operating system, we have FunTouch OS 10 based on Android 10, with software optimizations, dynamic wallpapers, multi-turbo 2.5 and a redesigned interface.
