vivo’s flagship X100 series has been unveiled in China. There’s the vivo X100 and X100 Pro and comes with a couple of firsts.
The vivo X100 and X100 Pro are the first to get the new MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor, which will go head-to-head with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 from Qualcomm. It’s a 4nm+ chip with a 3.25GHz Cortex-X4 core, four Cortex-A72 cores, and three Cortex-X4 cores. It offers 40% better peak performance and consumes 33% less power than its predecessor.

Another first is found on the X100 Pro, which has the all-new ZEISS APO periscope-style lens with a 100mm equivalent that enables 4.3x optical and up to 100x digital zoom.
It is joined by a 1-inch Sony IMX989 main camera with OIS and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide with 15mm glass. All cameras come with ZEISS T* lens coating that drops reflectivity by 50% compared to the vivo X90 series. vivo also threw in its updated imaging chip, the 6nm VR.

On the other hand, the vivo X100 settles for a 50-megapixel IMX920 sensor with an f/1.6 aperture and OIS, joined by a 64-megapixel standard telephoto with 3x zoom and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
The duo then shares the same 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with 10-bit colors, 1-120Hz refresh rate, 2,160Hz PWM dimming, and 3000 nits of peak brightness.

The X100 has a 5,000mAh battery with 120W charging, while the vivo X100 Pro has a bigger 5,400mAh capacity, ultra-fast 50W wireless charging, but a slower 100W wired charging.
Both models also ship with Android 14-based OriginOS 4, IP68 dust and water resistance, the latest WiFi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity, and even IR blasters.

The vivo X100 has a starting price of CNY3,999 (~Php30,800) while the X100 Pro begins at CNY4,999 (~Php38,400). They will be available in China come November 21, while release details in markets like the Philippines are yet to be known.
