Vivo X80 Pro+ axed, next flagship to be the Vivo X90 series

Smartphone maker Vivo was rumoured to launch a new flagship smartphone, the Vivo X80 Pro+, this month. With September almost over and we learn that the smartphone manufacturer has scrapped the Vivo X80 Pro+, we wait to see what the X90 series has in store for Vivo's next flagship model.

A Vivo rep told GSM Arena that the company has cancelled the Vivo X80 Pro+ and is getting closer to the X90 series, which is reportedly set to launch in late 2022. The Vivo X90 series is expected to be launched in December. It was previously rumoured that it could be a significant improvement over its predecessor.

The Vivo X70 series was launched in September last year, and less than seven months later, Vivo first launched the Vivo X80 series in April, followed by May in India. Given the schedule, it's almost time for the Vivo X90 series to debut, at least in China. Previously, the Vivo X90 series was scheduled to debut in December of this year. The flagship series will be launched in India in coming months.
