Another year, another vivo flagship with an impressive camera setup, top-class display, and an alternative high-end chipset - the X100 Pro just went global. Featuring a trio of 50MP cameras, an advertised 3000-nit peak brightness screen, and an all-big-core Dimensity SoC, the latest and greatest in the company's X-series sure sounds exciting and we have the review for you.
The camera system is headlined by a 1-inch sensor that vivo lists as 1/0.98". A periscope telephoto camera takes the zoom level to 4.3x optically, while an autofocusing ultrawide rounds off the opposite end of the competent triple setup.
The display maintains the 6.78-inch diagonal of the previous generation, and the resolution remains unchanged too, but vivo is boasting a peak brightness of up to 3000 nits - we'll see about that.
The other big deal is the Dimensity 9300 chip - where the small cores are now big cores too, and the bigger big cores are four times as many as you'll find in the latest Snapdragon. It's not going to be four times as powerful, that bit is certain, but how does it compare really?
Another noteworthy upgrade this time around is the increase in battery capacity - the X100 Pro comes with a 5,400mAh powerpack in a sea of 5,000mAh-or-smaller competitors. Is it just to keep up with that beast of a Mediatek chip, or are we in for longevity records?
Here's a quick rundown of the key specs before we start addressing those pressing questions.
The X100 Pro arrives in the usual flat squarish box that we're used to getting with vivo flagships. Inside it, there's the usual set of accessories too.
You get an adapter rated for 120W output, even though the phone itself is specced to support up to 100W charging. There's a USB-C cable to go along as well.
Also included is a snap-on protective back cover - black in the case of our black review unit, but we've seen transparent ones thrown around with other colorways on the internet.
Hey, I've recently noticed an issue with the stock gallery app on FuntouchOS and OriginOS where the colors displayed are very washed out when compared to when images are seen on 3rd party galleries or editing software. I have posted images...
GSMArena need to update the selfie camera specs since there was a new update in Origin and Funtouch OS that enables 4K recording on the selfie cam
OnePlus 12 kinda killed this phone tbh You can buy a 1TB 16GB OP12 for cheaper than 512GB Vivo X100 Pro. They really need to check their prices.
