Vivo X80, Huawei Mate Xs 2 and Poco F4 GT
After a few slow weeks, phone season is in full swing again and there will be more launches this week than we have time to cover on the show, so we’ll focus on the big ones.
First, Vivo has unveiled its flagship X80 series in China and has confirmed plans to introduce them globally next month. The X80 and X80 Pro (no Pro+ yet, but coming later this year) have serious camera specs and use the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset – with an optional 8 Gen 1 option for the Pro. The X70 series won the camera battle last year, so can the X80 repeat that stunt?
Huawei, meanwhile, is today revealing its fourth foldable laptop in book form: the Mate Xs 2. At the time of writing, we didn’t know anything about it, but by the time of the reveal, we’ll have all the information about the Chinese launch to chat about. show.
Finally, Poco has unveiled the F4 GT, the first flagship phone the company is bringing to the global market. With a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, a 120Hz AMOLED display, and 120W charging, it’s not too bad, but can it live up to Poco’s goal of making a gaming phone that’s not just for gamers?
