During the Vivo 2023 Fan Carnival event in August, Vivo officially announced that the X100 series would be unveiled before the end of 2023. Hence, it appears that the X100 and iQOO 12 lineups be officially introduced sometime between late October and the end of the year at the latest.

To be precise, recent reports have claimed that the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro will be announced in November. These devices are expected to feature the forthcoming Dimensity 9300 chipset. The X100 Pro+ is likely to launch with the Vivo X Fold 3 foldable phone in the first quarter of 2023. There is no information about the processor that drives the X Fold 3, but the X100 Pro+ is expected to feature the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.

As far as the iQOO 12 series is concerned, it may launch in December this year. The iQOO 12 and 12 Pro are expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset. The Vivo X100 series and iQOO 12 lineup will run on the upcoming OriginOS 4.0. Reports have claimed that Vivo will announce OriginOS 4.0 through the Vivo Developers Conference (VDC) in October.

In related news, Vivo has plans to launch the X100 5G smartphone in the global market in the fourth quarter of this year. Leaked information indicates that the international version of the X100 5G will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 8 series processor, differing from earlier reports of it being equipped with the Dimensity 9300 processor.
