What reviewers say

Reviewers praise the X80 Pro's low-light main camera, fast charging, battery life and unusually large fingerprint reader. Both find the software cluttered and long-range zoom weaker than leading rivals; Android Authority also reports inconsistent ultrawide colour, whereas Tech Advisor rates that camera particularly highly at night.
