If the vivo V80 is on your shortlist, the next two and a half weeks are when buying it comes with the most extras. The phone made its Malaysian debut on 4 November and is now on pre-order, with a reward bundle vivo values at RM2,042 for anyone who orders before 27 November 2026. It also arrives with three new faces: JUNGWON, JAKE and SUNGHOON of the K-pop group ENHYPEN, named as vivo Friends.

vivo V80 pre-order rewards in Malaysia
The RM2,042 figure is the total vivo puts on everything below, not a cash discount. The parts that matter most to a buyer are the RM200 rebate and the trade-in offer.
- Rebate: RM200 off for pre-order buyers
- vivo All-in-One Gift Set (worth RM518): vivo Buds Air 3 earbuds, a vivo 33W 10,000mAh power bank, a V selection Watch V5 and a magnetic phone tripod
- vivo Care (worth RM556): a two-year warranty, one year of warranty service across multiple countries, and six months of screen and back cover protection
- Extras on vivo's pre-order card: six months of Google One with 100GB of cloud storage, three months of Viu premium, and purchase-with-purchase discounts of up to RM200 on vivo IoT devices
- Payment and trade-in: RM150 off with SPayLater or PayLater by Grab (minimum spend RM1,500), up to RM200 off with Atome, a RM100 rebate on instalments with selected banks, and a trade-in rebate of up to RM300
vivo did not state the V80's selling price in this announcement, so check the final price at the point of order before weighing the bundle against it.
A back panel that changes with the light
The design is the headline feature. The new Starwish Purple finish uses what vivo calls Laser Holographic Lithography: rather than printing a pattern on the back, vivo says it used nano-scale lithography to set 3,600 4K images into the back cover, so the star-like detail appears to move as the phone is tilted. vivo says the finish took two years to develop and that its engineers tested more than 20 custom materials along the way.
The back is a single piece of cold-carved glass that runs over the camera module as well, so there is no separate raised plate around the lenses.
The camera pitch: a 100mm portrait mode
On the camera side, vivo is leaning on its ZEISS partnership again. The V80's ZEISS 100mm Center-Stage Portrait mode is designed for close-up portraits with ZEISS Planar-style background blur and a soft, low-saturation colour tone. The longer 100mm framing is meant to crop out people walking behind your subject. vivo's launch visuals also list a 50MP ZEISS telephoto camera, and the phone adds an AI Creative Camera mode.
Telephoto portraits have become the main way vivo separates its phones, from the ZEISS telephoto lineup in the vivo X500 Series, now on sale in Malaysia, down to the V series. The V80 sits above the battery-focused model we covered in our vivo V80 Lite 5G launch report.
Why ENHYPEN
The three ENHYPEN members are vivo Friends across several Asia-Pacific markets, not only Malaysia. vivo is aiming the V80 at younger buyers who care about personal style and take a lot of portraits, and the campaign line, "Shine as We Are", is built around that.
The bottom line
The V80's selling points are its colour-shifting Starwish Purple back and a 100mm portrait mode. If you plan to buy one, ordering before 27 November gets you the RM200 rebate, the gift set and two years of vivo Care. Once vivo confirms the price, you can judge whether the bundle makes the deal worth it.
