Vivo is gearing up for its flagship X90 series launch in December. Rumors claim the lineup would include at least three models -- the Vivo X90, X90 Pro, and the Vivo X90 Pro+ variant. New rumors suggest the most premium of the lot, the Vivo X90 Pro+, would feature the Dimensity 9200 chipset. Would it offer higher speeds and better performance than the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2?

MediaTek announced the Dimensity 9000 chipset based on a 4nm process last year. Popular tipster Digital Chat Station claims the Dimensity 9200 chipset would debut in November this year.

Will India Get Vivo X90 Pro+?

Previously, the brand skipped the Vivo X80 Pro+ and launched only the Vivo X80 and X80 Pro. It looks like the Vivo X90 Pro+ will likely arrive in India, and it could arrive with either the Dimensity 9200 SoC or the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset.

It looks like both the Dimensity 9200 and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could feature identical cores but the CPU architecture could be different. Previously, the Dimensity 9000 SoC beat the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 performance in benchmarks but lagged in GPU performance. Will it be the same for the Dimensity 9200 SoC remains to be seen.

We still don't know which processor the Vivo X90 Pro+ will offer for the Indian market. But it's certain the smartphone will be a powerful one, and could also carry an expensive price tag considering the premium camera, design, and performance offered.
