A couple of months ago, Xiaomi’s sister brand launched the Vivo X90, X90 Pro, and X90 Pro+ handsets for the Chinese markets. After two months of China launch, the manufacturer today officially launched both the X90 and X90 Pro for international markets.

Specs wise, both handsets are the same in every aspect, except for differences in the camera department.
