The main difference appears to be in camera support. Where the Exynos 980 can support up to a 108-megapixel main camera, the Exynos 880 is “limited” to 64-megapixel main cameras or dual 20-megapixel setups. 4K video recording is supported at up to 30 fps with H.265, H.264 and VP9 codecs.

We can already get a good sense of what type of smartphone this is designed for. Vivo just unveiled its Exynos 880-powered Y70s in Asia, with a 48-megapixel primary camera, 8-megapixel ultrawide-angle camera and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. Vivo is also boasting 5G connectivity, of course, along with excellent gaming performance. Most interestingly, the Y70s shows us the potential price-point for phones powered by this tech: It starts at CNY 1,998, or about $280.
