Vivo X90 series has recently been released in the global market, and leaks regarding the next-generation lineup have already started to pick up. The Vivo X100 series is expected to comprise the X100, X100 Pro, and X100 Pro+ models. The Pro+ model is rumored to launch sometime next year, following the unveiling of the other two versions later this year. While we eagerly await their release, a tipster has claimed that the series will feature a significant camera upgrade, including a periscope zoom lens. Here are the details.

Vivo X100 continues to focus on cameras

Rumors circulating on the Chinese social media platform Weibo suggest that folks are divided into two segments regarding the Vivo X100 series. One claims that the Vivo X100 will not be equipped with a periscope lens, while the other firmly believes that the series will indeed feature a periscope camera. If we recall, Vivo has been incorporating a periscope telephoto lens in its flagship phones since the introduction of the Vivo X70 Pro series in 2021. Therefore, it doesn’t make sense for the X100 line to miss out on this feature.

As per a recent report, the X100 is expected to include a Sony IMX9-series 1/14x-inch primary sensor, along with a 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 ultra-wide lens and a 64-megapixel OmniVision OV64B telephoto lens. The primary camera is said to be an advanced version of the IMX9-series sensor and an enhanced model of the IMX866. On the other hand, the X100 Pro is rumored to feature a 1-inch primary camera, a new periscope zoom camera, and possibly the 12-megapixel IMX663 ultra-wide lens.

The Vivo X100 and X100 Pro are said to be powered by the Dimensity 9300 chipset. Both smartphones are expected to make their debut as early as November this year in the Chinese market. However, the X100 Pro+, which is rumored to be equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, may launch in the first quarter of 2024.
