The Vivo X80 and OnePlus 12R are two powerhouse smartphones designed to fulfill different users’ needs. While both smartphones boast premium performance and stunning designs, they do have minor differences in camera capabilities, display quality, and pricing.
Here in this article, we will look into specifications, cameras, battery life, and prices for both these smartphones and help you choose between them.
Full Specification Sheet
Design and Build Quality
The Vivo X80 measures 165 x 75.2 x 8.3 mm and weighs about 203-206 g, while the OnePlus 12R comes in slightly smaller at 163.3 x 75.3 x 8.8 mm and slightly heavier at 207 g. They both have dual-SIM options and feature high-end materials in their build, with glass on both the fronts and backs. The OnePlus 12R ups the ante with a layer of Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and IP64 dust and water protection, offering some extra cushion compared to the Vivo X80 that doesn’t have an official IP rating.
Display Quality
Both smartphones boast a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate that offers smooth scrolling. With the LTPO4 AMOLED panel, the OnePlus 12R can display 1 billion colors and peak at 4500 nits, while the Vivo X80 tops out at 1500 nits. There’s also a much higher screen resolution on the OnePlus 12R-1264 x 2780 pixels compared to the Vivo X80’s 1080 x 2400 pixels. This sets the OnePlus a bit better in the display clarity and brightness sections.

Performance and Software
The chipset that powers the Vivo X80 is from Mediatek, the Dimensity 9000, while the OnePlus 12R runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2. Both chipsets come with the same fabrication process, which is 4nm, but while that guarantees pretty good performances, the OnePlus 12R’s Snapdragon processor is quite faster and more power-efficient.
While the Vivo X80 came with Android 12 but was upgradable to Android 14, the OnePlus 12R is offered with Android 14 out of the box with OxygenOS. This simply means offering a much more optimised experience and up to three major Android upgrades. Let’s take a closer look at the camera that these devices have to offer.

Camera Comparison
Main Camera Setup
The Vivo X80 has a triple-camera arrangement, powered by a 50 MP primary sensor with OIS and a 12 MP telephoto lens for 2x optical zoom. This, together with a 12 MP ultrawide camera, makes the Vivo X80’s rear camera array.
Another featured phone is OnePlus 12R, with a 50 MP main camera with OIS, an 8 MP ultrawide, and a 2 MP macro camera. While the OnePlus is more versatile with its macro lens, the Vivo X80 does the telephoto job simply better – with more pleasing zoom. Both devices support 4K video recording with gyro-EIS and OIS.

Selfie Camera
The selfie camera on the Vivo X80 was a 32 MP sensor with an f/2.5 wider aperture, compared with a 16 MP front camera on the OnePlus 12R.
