vivo today introduced its new flagship series – the vivo X100 and the X100 Pro are here. Apart from the camera setup, the two phones are virtually identical. Both are powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipsets which, according to early benchmarks, offer even more performance than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
The AnTuTu benchmark test of the new top dog ended up with an enormous 2.25 million points. At the same time, a very effective cooling system is installed so that the vivo X100 stays cool even during longer gaming sessions. The 6.78-inch curved LTPO AMOLED display has a resolution of 2,800 x 1,260 pixels and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits. It also fully covers the DCI-P3 color space and achieves a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. The 32 megapixel selfie camera sits in a central punch hole.
However, the two vivo cell phones differ when it comes to the cameras. The base model relies on a 50 megapixel f/1.57 main camera with a 1/1.49-inch Sony IMX920 sensor. The glass lens also offers particularly low dispersion, which should also benefit the image quality.
The 50 megapixel ultra-wide camera with a 1/2.76 inch sensor and f/2.0 aperture is identical on both X100 versions. However, the Zeiss super telephoto camera with 64 megapixels on a 1/2 inch sensor, three times optical zoom and an f/2.57 aperture is significantly inferior to the Zeiss APO super telephoto camera of the vivo X100 Pro. This periscope camera combines a 1/2-inch 50 megapixel sensor with 4.3x optical zoom and an f/2.5 aperture. Both telephoto cameras are optically stabilized and are therefore also suitable as Marko cameras.
