In terms of upcoming Vivo smartphone launches, all eyes are likely to be on the X50 Pro, and not just because its reportedly novel Samsung 50MP makes its renders look like a cyclops.

Offering incremental improvements over their predecessors, it would appear that they are just better-binned versions of the Ryzen 7 3800X and Ryzen 9 3900X. Talk of 300 MHz higher base clocks and 200 MHz higher boost clocks seems unfounded, too.

Most modern phones are made of materials on which pathogens, Covid-19 included, can survive on for up to 120 hours.
