Tech Desk: The highly anticipated Vivo V80 Lite 5G is on the cusp of its official debut, recently appearing on the Google Play Supported Devices list. This significant sighting, which revealed model numbers V2576, V2643, and V2644, strongly suggests the device could launch as a rebadged version of the Vivo S2 in various international markets. The identical model number V2576 linked to both phones solidifies this exciting prospect for consumers.

If the Vivo V80 Lite 5G indeed mirrors the Vivo S2, enthusiasts can expect a feature-rich experience. The Vivo S2, set to launch in India today, August 6, boasts a vibrant 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a sharp 1.5K resolution and a fluid 120Hz refresh rate. Powering the device will be a MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo processor, complemented by a robust 50-megapixel Sony IMX852 primary camera and a 32-megapixel front-facing camera for stunning photography. It will also be available in striking Regal Bronze, Sapphire Blue, and Silk White colour options.

This upcoming V-series smartphone is poised to succeed the Vivo V70 Lite 5G, which hit markets in June with a MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo processor and a 6.77-inch AMOLED screen. The V70 Lite 5G, priced around AED 1,099 (approximately Rs. 28,500) for its 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, featured a 50-megapixel Sony primary camera and a substantial 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging. The Vivo V80 Lite 5G promises to build on this legacy, potentially offering an upgraded package.
