So, how much of an upgrade do you get by opting for the more premium handset? Let’s find out whether you should consider spending more in this article.
As a flagship smartphone, the Vivo X100 Pro houses a more powerful current-gen MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chip. This silicon is paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage.
While the Vivo V40 Pro arrives with a last-gen MediaTek Dimensity 9200 Plus chipset. This SoC is again paired with slower UFS 3.1 storage but has the latest LPDDR5x RAM.
It is worth noting that both these chips are flagship-grade. They are merely a generation apart and should be fine for years to come. Nonetheless, the one inside the X100 Pro is better.
On the other hand, the software remains the same on both. They boot Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14 and will receive up to 3 Android updates and 4 years of security updates.
2. Different Cameras
The Vivo X100 arrives with a conventional premium camera setup. Whereas the Vivo V40 Pro features a camera system designed for portraits and selfies.
The devices come with a 50MP primary camera but the sensors are different. The X100 has an IMX920 sensor paired with a faster aperture lens (f/1.57) as opposed to an IMX921 sensor on V40 Pro with an f/1.88 aperture lens. However, both sport an identical 50MP ultra-wide unit.
The biggest difference is their zoom and selfie cameras. The X100 has a longer zoom range (64MP 3x periscope) but a weaker front-facing shooter (32MP). While the V40 Pro has a shorter zoom range camera (50MP 2x) suitable for portraits and a better selfie camera (50MP with autofocus).
3. Varying Display and Battery
Both Vivo V40 Pro and Vivo X100 flaunt a 6.78-inch curved OLED display with a resolution of 2800 x 1260 pixels (1.5K) and a 120Hz refresh rate. However, the X100’s panel is more power efficient as it uses LTPO tech.
As for the battery, the X100 offers a 5,000mAh capacity and supports 120W charging. Whereas the V40 Pro nests a larger 5,500mAh battery but is limited to 80W charging.
4. Which one is for you?
The Vivo X100 and the Vivo V40 Pro are almost identical, except for a few notable differences discussed above.
It all boils down to what you want from your phone. In this case, it is mostly the type of photography you are into.
For one who shoots portraits and selfies a lot, the V40 Pro is a better option for them at a cheaper price. But if you want that extra performance and zoom camera, you should check out the X100.
