The Vivo X200 Pro, newly launched in China, brings significant enhancements over the Vivo X100 Pro, making it an exciting upgrade. Vivo’s commitment to pushing boundaries is evident in the new features and hardware improvements, solidifying the X200 Pro as a flagship smartphone contender.

Notably, this chipset is the first mobile processor to surpass 3,000,000 in the AnTuTu benchmark.

Camera

The Vivo X200 Pro series camera system includes a triple rear setup with Zeiss optics and Vivo’s V3+ imaging chip, shared with the X100 Ultra. The main camera is a Sony LYT-818 1/1.28-inch sensor with an f/1.57 lens.

Despite being smaller than the X100 Pro’s 1-inch sensor, Vivo claims it rivals larger sensors in photo quality and surpasses them in video capture. The major upgrade is the 200MP Zeiss APO telephoto lens, also from the X100 Ultra, featuring 85mm (3.7x) optical zoom with a bright f/2.67 aperture. Additionally, the setup includes a 50MP ultrawide lens and a 32MP autofocus selfie camera.

Battery and Charging

The Vivo X200 Pro features a large 6000mAh battery, enabled by third-generation Silico Anode technology, with 90W wired and 30W wireless charging.

Additionally, the X200 Pro is designed for durability, operating in temperatures as low as -20°C.

Software and Additional Features

The Vivo X200 Pro comes with OriginOS 5 based on Android 15, whereas the X100 Pro runs Funtouch OS 14 on Android 14, upgradeable to Android 15. The X200 Pro also features Beidou satellite communication, enhancing connectivity in remote areas, unlike the X100 Pro.

It also supports image generation, text recognition, and instant translation. Additionally, the “Circle to Search” function lets users circle any item on the screen to search for information, activated by holding two fingers on the display for a few seconds.

Vivo and MediaTek have also introduced kilometer-level network-less communication technology, enabling long-distance, point-to-point Bluetooth communication in areas without cellular networks. This includes SOS text broadcasting, voice and text intercom, and map location sharing, effectively turning the phone into a walkie-talkie for localized communication with other Vivo devices.

Design and Build Quality

While both models feature premium materials, the X200 Pro introduces new color options, including “Sapphire Blue,” which mimics ocean waves under light, adding an aesthetic element to its design. Additionally, the X200 Pro is rated IP69 and IP68, whereas the X100 Pro has only an IP68 rating, offering extra protection against dust and water exposure.

Conclusion

With its enhanced display, powerful processor, expanded storage options, and upgraded camera system, the Vivo X200 Pro offers a substantial leap forward. For users of the X100 Pro considering an upgrade, or for those new to the Vivo X series, the X200 Pro sets a new standard in performance, imaging, and connectivity.

The Vivo X100 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra are among the best flagship smartphones available in the market right now. Both have powerful chipsets, excellent cameras, and great displays.

While both are high-end flagship smartphones, they are not the right fit for everyone. In this post, we’ll compare the Vivo X100 Pro and Galaxy S24 Ultra to help you find the right choice that matches your needs.

Vivo X100 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra: Spec Sheet

Vivo X100 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra: Benchmarks

Geekbench 6

The Geekbench test measures the CPU capabilities of smartphones, which has given similar single-core and multi-core scores to the Vivo X100 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. It suggests that both smartphones deliver nearly similar CPU performance.

AnTuTu 10

On the AnTuTu benchmark (version 10), the Vivo X100 Pro is clearly ahead of the Galaxy S24 Ultra in all tests. Notably, there’s a big difference in the GPU scores on AnTuTu, but in reality, the story is different (more on that in the performance section below).

Vivo X100 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra: Design

Both smartphones have a premium design, but the Vivo X100 Pro has a curved display, whereas the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a flat one. It can really impact your purchase decision, hence choose what you like.

The Vivo smartphone is slightly taller than the Galaxy S24 Ultra but is more lightweight. That means the Galaxy phone is a slightly compact phone with a boxy design and a couple of grams heavier than the Vivo phone.

You’ll quickly notice a massive camera module on the back of the Vivo X100 Pro, whereas the Galaxy S24 Ultra opts for a minimalist design.    

Vivo X100 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra: Display

The Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra’s display is slightly bigger than that of the Vivo X100 Pro. Both have LTPO AMOLED screens with 120Hz refresh rate. This means the screen can automatically switch between refresh rates to offer better smoothness while saving power.

The Vivo phone has a 1260 x 2800 pixels resolution, whereas the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 1440 x 2130 px resolution. The latter has more pixels per inch, resulting in better clarity.

Vivo X100 Pro offers better screen visibility outdoors, but the Galaxy S24 Ultra isn’t bad either outdoors. Most importantly, the Vivo X100 Pro has a curved display, whereas Samsung goes with a flat display for the Galaxy S24 Ultra.

Vivo X100 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra: Performance

The Vivo phone is powered by a Dimensity 9300 chipset — MediaTek’s most powerful smartphone SoC. On the other hand, we have the Galaxy S24 Ultra with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip, which is the most powerful Qualcomm chip for smartphones.

So, both devices use the best of the best chips from two of the biggest chip companies. But which one has got more power to fulfill your processing needs?

Well, there isn’t a clear-cut answer. Both are high-performance flagship smartphone chips with comparable CPU performance. But, when it comes to a long gaming session, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 retains the performance while offering higher FPS. You can see the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs Dimensity 9300 comparison for more details.

So, if you’re much into gaming, getting a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered device makes much more sense than choosing one with a Dimensity 9300 chip. This doesn’t make the Dimensity chip a bad choice for high-end phones. It can easily handle your day-to-day performance needs. 

Vivo X100 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra: Cameras

The giant rear camera module on the back of the Vivo X100 Pro has three sensors, each 50MP. The primary one is a 1/0.98″ sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) and f/1.75 aperture. There’s also a periscope telephoto lens with OIS and f/2.0 aperture. And finally an ultrawide lens with 119-degree field-of-view and f/2.0 aperture.

The Galaxy S24 Ultra has a quad camera setup on the back. It includes a 200MP primary camera (with OIS), a 10MP telephoto lens (with OIS and 3x optical zoom), a 50MP periscope telephoto lens (with OIS and 5x optical zoom), and lastly a 12MP ultrawide lens with 120-degree field-of-view.

Both smartphones can record up to 8K videos with their rear cameras. However, the Vivo phone can only record up to 1080p with its 32MP selfie camera, while the Galaxy S24 Ultra can record 4K videos with its 12MP selfie camera.

The Samsung phone takes slightly more detailed selfie videos, whereas the stability is comparable on both. The Galaxy S24 Ultra also takes clearer videos with better stabilization with its primary camera (1X). At 4.3x optical zoom on Vivo and 5x optical zoom on Samsung, both take good stable videos with better colors and detail.

Samsung does a better job at video recording but it’s not the same story with photos. Vivo wins the normal shots (photos) as it has better background blur, colors, and shades. Even macro photos look better on Vivo with better background blur and details, but Samsung captures slightly better colors.

Samsung has a lot of noise in 10x and 20x photos, while Vivo X100 Pro takes comparably good shots, though not the best. The Galaxy S24 Ultra wins the ultra-wide photo category by bringing in more details, clarity, colors, and a wider field of view.

Vivo X100 Pro has clearly outperformed the Galaxy S24 Ultra in low-light photos. Compared to the S24 Ultra, the X100 Pro has more details, clarity, and sharpness. In low-light zoom shots, Samsung captures lots of noise, whereas the Vivo X100 Pro does a very good job.

The post Vivo X100 Pro vs Galaxy S24 Ultra: Battle of Camera Titans appeared first on Gizmochina.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro are two of the best flagship smartphones in the market right now. They come with a high-end display, powerful chipset, impressive set of cameras, and a super fast charging. Both are solid flagship phones overall, but it can be difficult to pick the correct one that suits your needs.

In this post, we’ll compare the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro to see how they stack up against each other.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Specs

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Design

Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 are both premium smartphones with curved displays and centered punch-hole selfie cameras. There are massive camera modules that consume a large portion of the back on both devices, though the Xiaomi phone has an additional sensor.

Both smartphones have an aluminium frame. The Rear panel on the Xiaomi device is vegan leather, whereas the Vivo phone has a glass back. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a titanium variant and the Vivo phone has a vegan leather variant, too, but those are exclusive to China.

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra phone is slightly thicker and shorter but more lightweight than the Vivo X100 Pro. Both are IP68 certified for dust and water resistance, which is common among high-end phones.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Display

Xiaomi’s flagship phone has a 6.73-inch LTPO curved AMOLED screen with a 1440 x 3200-pixel resolution and dynamic refresh rate (1-120 Hz). The panel supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, 68 billion colours, and 3000 nits of peak brightness. It’s protected by Xiaomi Shield Glass.

The Vivo X100 Pro features a slightly taller 6.78-inch screen. It’s an LTPO AMOLED panel with 1260 x 2800 pixels resolution and 120Hz variable refresh rate. The Vivo phone matches the peak brightness of Xiaomi 14 Ultra—3000 nits.

The main difference between the two screens is that Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s panel supports 68 billion colours (vs. 1 billion on Vivo X100 Pro). The Xiaomi phone also has more pixels per inch, resulting in sharper and crisper images. And both have a similar screen-to-body ratio.

Both smartphones have excellent screens. However, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra’s panel has more pixels and colours. 

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Performance

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 at the helm for all processing needs. It’s Qualcomm’s most powerful smartphone chip. Vivo X100 Pro, on the other hand, uses Dimensity 9300, MediaTek’s most powerful smartphone chip.

Both chips deliver great CPU and GPU performance. However, the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 has better gaming performance (check out Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 vs Dimensity 9300 for more details).

That doesn’t mean you can’t play high-end games on the Dimensity 9300-powered Vivo X100 Pro. It can smoothly handle demanding games like Genshin Impact but may get a little warmer with some frame drops compared to Xiaomi 14 Ultra.

If you aren’t a performance-heavy user, any of these two chips will work just fine.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Cameras

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has four sensors inside the giant camera module on the back. All four are 50MP sensors, while the Vivo X100 Pro has three 50MP sensors.

The 50MP primary camera on Xiaomi’s flagship is a 1-inch large sensor with OIS support and a variable focal aperture (f/1.63 – f/4.0). Additional cameras include a 50MP telephoto shooter (with OIS, 3.2x optical zoom, 10cm macro), 50MP periscope lens (with OIS, 5x optical zoom, 30cm macro), and a 50MP ultrawide lens (with 122-degree field-of-view, 5cm macro).

The Vivo X100 Pro’s camera module consists of a 50MP primary camera (with OIS support), a 50MP periscope telephoto lens (with OIS, 4.3x optical zoom), and a 50MP ultrawide lens (with a 119-degree field of view).

Both smartphones have a 32MP punch-hole selfie camera. While Xiaomi 14 Ultra has Leica-optimized cameras, Vivo X100 Pro’s camera setup is optimized by ZEISS. Looking at the samples, we realized both take stunning images and videos with great detailing and colour accuracy.

The smartphones take good macro shots. Vivo’s colour science looks more natural than the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, Xiaomi nearly outperforms Vivo in wide-angle photography. Both phones do a very good job at a small zoom distance of up to 10X, but Xiaomi retains more details in long zoom shots.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Battery

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a 5,000 mAh battery, but the Chinese model comes with a 5,300 mAh battery. Vivo X100 Pro has a 5,400 mAh battery, no matter where in the world you purchase it.

Xiaomi’s flagship phone supports 90W wired charging. As per the brand, it only takes 33 minutes to fill up the battery. The device also supports 80W wireless and 10W reverse wireless charging.

Vivo X100 Pro supports 100W wired charging. According to the brand, it only takes 14 minutes to fill up the battery by 50%. The device also supports 50W wireless charging.

Although the Xiaomi 14 Ultra has a slightly lesser battery capacity, it lasts as long as the Vivo X100 Pro, thanks to efficient Qualcomm chip and software optimizations. You can get up to 8-9 hours of screen time, although it varies depending on your usage.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Audio

As expected, both flagship phones have stereo speakers for a loud and rich audio experience. The Xiaomi phone supports Dolby Vision and a three-dimensional microphone setup. It also supports directional audio recording to achieve a studio-like recording.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Software

The Xiaomi 14 Ultra ships with Android 14 OS with HyperOS custom skin at the top. The Vivo X100 Pro also comes with Android 14 out of the box, but it has Funtouch OS 14 (for the international model) and OriginOS 4 (for the Chinese model).

Vivo has promised three years of Android updates and an extra year of security updates for the X100 Pro. Xiaomi 14 Ultra, on the other hand, will get four years of Android updates and five years of security patches. This means that Android 17 will be the final upgrade for the X100 Pro, but Xiaomi 14 Ultra will get the Android 18 upgrade as well.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Connectivity

Both smartphones have necessary connectivity features such as 5G/4G/3G/2G, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6, and GPS. However, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra supports USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, which has a faster data transfer rate than USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 in Vivo X100 Pro. The device also supports Wi-Fi 6E, which uses the 6GHz band to offer wider channels and less congestion.

Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Which One Should You Choose?

Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Vivo X100 Pro are impressive phones with high-end specifications. Both have great displays, chipsets, cameras, and connectivity features.

Choosing one of these two really boils down to your preferences. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is slightly thicker, lightweight, and has a smaller screen. The performance is comparable to the Vivo X100 Pro. However, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra does a better job at gaming.

The Vivo X100 Pro is slightly thinner and longer but weighs slightly more. It’s powered by a powerful Dimensity 9300 chip. Both smartphones have excellent camera capabilities and connectivity features. And the battery backup is largely similar, offering up to 9 hours of screen time. See which one checks more boxes and get one for yourself.

The post Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro: Which Is a Better Flagship Phone? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo just unveiled the new X100s series of flagship smartphones in China. The newer devices arrive about half a year after the X100 series and are basically a mid-year refresh. But what are all the upgrades? And what are the new changes? Let’s find out.

Vivo X100s Pro vs X100 Pro: Slight bump in performance

The Vivo X100 Pro was first announced back in November 2023. It featured MediaTek’s flagship grade processor, the Dimensity 9300. Now, the successor X100s Pro model has launched with an updated chipset, which is the Dimensity 9300+ SoC. This new chip offering improved performance thanks to a higher boost clock speed of 3.4GHz, but it even offers improved APU performance of 10 percent in on-device AI related tasks as well.

Design & Display

Apart from the chipset, the differences between the two models are quite negligible. The X100 Pro sports a tall 6.78-inch curved LTPO AMOLED display that offers an FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and 3000 nits of peak brightness, which is basically mirrored on the newer X100s Pro as well.

Even in terms of design, the two high-end devices look practically identical with a curved display on the front and a glass panel with a large circular camera island on the back. Both devices offer water and dust resistance, but the newer X100s Pro features an IP69 rating over the IP68 rating of the X100 Pro.

Colors: Not as bright anymore

The Chinese brand seems to have opted for a more sober color scheme on the X100s Pro. To recall, the Vivo X100 Pro came in Star Trail Blue, Sunset Orange, White Moonlight, and Cheyne Black color options. But now, the X100s Pro is only available in Titanium, White, and Black/Dark Gray variants.

Camera: More of the same

Vivo might have determined that the X100 Pro’s camera hardware was great since it seems like it has returned on the X100s Pro. Even the official website shows that the camera setup has returned untouched. The Vivo X100 Pro and X100s Pro feature a triple camera setup on the rear.

All three sensors are a 50-megapixel shooter. The primary is a one-inch sensor that offers OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), which is paired with an ultra wide angle lens, and a Zeiss APO super-telephoto camera that offers 4.3x optical zoom and 100x hybrid zoom. Meanwhile, the devices house a 32-megapixel shooter for selfies and video calls.

Price Hike

The pricing of the two smartphones follows the same philosophy. So there are barely any changes again. The Vivo X100 Pro started from CNY 4,999 ($700) for its 12GB + 256GB model. The 16GB RAM + 256GB, 16GB RAM + 512GB, and 16GB RAM + 1TB options cost CNY 5,299 ($726), CNY 5,499 ($800), and CNY 5,999 ($822) respectively.

Vivo has managed to keep the starting price of the Vivo X100s Pro the same at CNY 4,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant. But for the 16GB + 512GB and 16GB + 1TB versions, you pay CNY 5,599 ($774) and CNY 6,199 ($857) respectively. So there is a marginal hike in price for the updated X100s Pro.

Under the hood, it’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, coupled with advanced LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. The device runs on Funtouch OS 14, which is based on Android 14.

In terms of durability, the Vivo X100 Pro is IP68-rated, offering dust and water resistance. It also features dual stereo speakers for an immersive audio experience and includes an in-screen optical fingerprint sensor for enhanced security.

The camera setup has an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX989 1-inch primary sensor and a 50MP 4.3x periscope telephoto shooter with OIS. Additionally, it includes a 50MP ultrawide camera and a 32MP selfie camera, both benefiting from Zeiss T* lens coating for superior image quality.

For connectivity, the smartphone is equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 port. Powering the device is a substantial 5,400mAh battery, which supports both 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

Vivo launched the X100 Pro flagship smartphone back in November in China, while the global model made its debut in January. In the latest test version of OriginOS number 14.0.14.6, the brand has added an important camera feature to the Chinese model, while also fixing a bunch of bugs.

The Vivo X100 Pro‘s recent OriginOS update now lets you record 4K videos using the front camera. People were confused before because, even though the front camera and the device’s chip supported 4K recording, this feature wasn’t available on the flagship phone. It looks like Vivo might have added this option in response to competitors like Xiaomi 14 Pro and Oppo Find X7 Ultra, which already offered 4K recording on their front cameras. Other than that, OriginOS 14.0.14.6 brings a bunch of improvements and bug fixes with the update. You can check out the complete changelog below.

OriginOS 14.0.14.6 update changelog:

• New features for the front camera:
  • Added the features of “4k 30 fps” and “4k 60 fps” for the front camera in Video mode to improve the video recording experience using the front camera.
  • Optimized the photo effects of the rear camera by enhancing the clarity of photos.
  • Optimized the features of the rear camera in Portrait mode to improve the portrait bokeh accuracy.
  • Optimized the display stability of the manual focus tracking frame of the rear camera in Photo mode to improve the photo-taking experience.

• Bluetooth:
  • Optimized the stability of Bluetooth car kit connections.

• Home screen, lock screen, and wallpaper
  • Added information sync for the train reminder service of “Guotie Juxun”, allowing you to quickly view train number updates in Origin Notification, Smart Launcher, and Important notifications
  • Fixed the occasional issue where the home screen is not displayed properly after you exit Recent tasks
• Sticker Component
  • Fixed the occasional issue where the background of the Sticker kit is not displayed properly
• Input method
  • Optimized the usage stability of the system input method
• System
  • Optimized system stability for a better user experience
  • Fixed the occasional issue of abnormal power consumption in standby mode

While this update is for the Chinese model only, we expect that the global X100 Pro, which runs on FunTouchOS, will also receive a similar update in the coming days.

As scheduled, Vivo has launched its latest flagship smartphones, the Vivo X100 series, in India. The lineup consists of two models, a vanilla and a pro.

Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro share most of their features. They primarily differ in terms of camera, battery, and charging.

The handsets even look almost the same. The X100 Pro can be identified by its distinctly shaped larger camera module.

Let’s check out everything these phones have to offer along with their pricing and availability details for India.

Vivo X100 Series Specifications

The Vivo X00 series is built around a 6.78-inch curved LTPO OLED display. This 10-bit panel offers a resolution of 2800 x  1260 pixels (1.5K), 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz PWM dimming, and 3,000 nits peak brightness level.

It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.0 storage. On the software front, the phones ship with Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14.

The devices are IP68-rated for dust and water resistance. They feature dual stereo speakers and an in-screen optical fingerprint sensor.

Both models feature a triple camera setup tuned by Zeiss but the primary and zoom sensors are different on the two. Also, the X100 houses an older V2 chip for imaging compared to the latest V3 chip inside the X100 Pro.

The Pro variant uses an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX989 1-inch sensor and a 50MP 4.3x periscope telephoto shooter with OIS. On the other hand, the vanilla version comes with an OIS-assisted 50MP Sony IMX920 primary sensor and an OIS-assisted 64MP 3x periscope telephoto camera.

The post Vivo X100 series Market Operating Price leaks ahead of January 4 Indian launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Following earlier teasers, Vivo has officially confirmed the India launch date for its X100 series of flagship smartphones. The Vivo X100 series will be launched in India on January 4, 2024. The company shared this news on its social media handles, revealing that the launch event is scheduled for 12 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).

Notably, Malaysia will be the first market outside China to receive the X100 series, with its launch scheduled for a day earlier on January 3rd. Since the phones have already debuted in China, we’re pretty familiar with their specs and features. Here’s a quick rundown of it.

Both the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro boast a 6.78-inch curved OLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness reaching 3000 nits. There’s also a 32-megapixel selfie camera on the punch-hole cutout on the front. 

Powering the smartphones is a Dimensity 9300 chip, alongside LPDDR5x RAM, and UFS 4.0 storage. Software-wise, you get Android 14 out-of-the-box. 

The camera and battery are the major things that differentiate the two models. The vanilla X100 features a triple-rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor (OIS), a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens (150° FOV), and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens (OIS). A 5,000mAh battery with 120W fast charging keeps the phone powered.

It also boasts Vivo’s V3 chip for enhanced imaging and a slightly larger 5,400mAh battery supporting 100W wired and 50W wireless charging.

The post Vivo X100 Pro Appears On Google Play Console Hinting At An Imminent Global Launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Vivo X100 series was officially announced in China just last month. The company recently revealed the date for the flagship lineup’s global debut, but now, a new report has hinted that the X100 series could be launching in India next month.

Vivo X100 series may launch in India in January 2024

The news arrives from an exclusive 91Mobiles report. Vivo X100 series of high end devices is set to launch in India in early January 2024. Sources close to the matter added that both the X100 and X100 Pro are expected to be launched in the region. Another interesting aspect revealed in the fresh report includes a new camera feature. The Vivo X100 series will feature an exclusive sun shot feature that is powered by AI (Artificial Intelligence).

To elaborate, the camera mode will allow users to capture the brilliance of the sun during sunset and sunrise, with AI algorithms helping bring out the depth and color accuracy of the picture being taken. For those unaware, the global launch for the Vivo X100 lineup is set for 14th December 2023. It is worth noting that the X100 and X100 Pro were announced in China, but the X100 Pro+ model’s release appears to be postponed at the moment.

Talking about the X100 and X100 Pro, both devices sport a tall 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display that offers Full HD+ resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz PWM dimming, and 3000 nits of peak brightness.

The post Vivo X100 series India launch set for next month, features a new AI Sun Shot mode appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo was the first to launch their X100 series smartphone with the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chip. Back in November, they released two models — the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro — both of which are impressive in performance and camera. But the big question was: when would they launch globally?

Global Vivo X100 series launch date revealed

It seems we might have the answer, thanks to a slip-up on Vivo’s global website. A webpage is now live on their website featuring the Vivo X100 series with a “coming soon” message. Clicking it leads to a page mentioning a global launch date of December 14th. We expect both X100 models to be available then.

However, the website also mentions a pre-order date of November 24th. This seems inaccurate, as that date has already passed and Vivo hasn’t announced any pre-orders yet. Additionally, no details about the sale date have been revealed.

Specifications

To recap, both the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro sports a 6.78-inch AMOLED screen with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner. They are also IP68-certified dust and water-resistant.

Both phones have a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle unit. The regular version also has a 64MP telephoto lens, while the Pro version has a 50MP telephoto lens, both featuring 3x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom. Moreover, they come with a 32MP selfie snapper and Vivo’s proprietary V3 imaging chip.

As aforementioned, the Vivo X100 series is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300 SoC, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5T RAM and 1TB UFS 4 storage. The standard and pro models have 5,000 and 5,400mAh batteries with 120W and 100W wired charging respectively. The X100 Pro also supports 50W wireless charging. Likewise, they ship with OriginOS 4-based Android 14.

The Vivo X100 Pro flagship smartphone was put under a stress test recently, which showed some bleak figures. Although, the issue could be rooted in the device’s SoC, which is MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300.

Vivo X100 Pro takes a massive performance hit in stress test

For those unaware, the X100 Pro is a high end device and the Dimensity 9300 is the chipmaker’s latest flagship processor. However, the smartphone was recently put through a stress test by Sahil Karoul (Via NotebookCheck), who shared the results on X. During the test, it was found that the X100 Pro faced a notable thermal throttling, with a massive drop in performance.

The Dimensity 9300 on the device throttled down to just 46 percent of its max performance after just two minutes of the benchmark. Due to this throttling issue, the performance on one of the cores dropped down to 0.6GHz (max clock speed of 3.25GHz). A separate NotebookCheck report talked about how the Dimensity 9300 doesn’t feature any efficiency cores, which could lead to throttling since the high powered cores (Cortex-X4) draws more power.

While this enables impressive raw performance, the downsize was the thermals. So this stress test might be reflecting that. But keep in mind that a stress test is just to check the CPU’s performance on high loads and does not directly reflect real world performance. Everyday users would typically never hit such extreme loads.

The standard X100 model has gained attention for its AnTuTu benchmark scores, showcasing the Dimensity 9300 processor, 16GB LPDDR5T RAM, and 1TB UFS 4.0 storage. It’s also expected to feature a 120Hz refresh rate display and a new Vario-APO-Sonnar lens for advanced telephoto capabilities.

Contrary to some leaks, the X100 Pro was spotted on GeekBench with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset and 12GB of RAM. The GeekBench scores indicate strong performance, aligning with the flagship status of the phone.

Vivo has already initiated pre-orders for the X100 series, briefly appearing on JD.com before being taken down. The starting price for the 12GB+256GB version is set at 3999 yuan ($546), suggesting that it will be competitively priced in the market.

The flagship Vivo X100 series of smartphones are set to launch soon. But prior to the official announcement, the company’s upcoming X100 Pro model was spotted on a popular benchmarking platform. So let’s have a look.

Vivo X100 Pro surfaces on GeekBench

The Vivo X100 Pro was found listed on GeekBench, carrying the model number V2324A. While previous rumors had hinted at the vanilla X100 and X100 Pro featuring MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC, the latest sighting suggests otherwise.

The latest generation Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 was recently announced and the top end Vivo X100 Pro+ model is confirmed to feature this chipset. Looking at the GeekBench listing, the X100 Pro is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC, which is paired with the 12GB of RAM and the Adreno 730 GPU. It also reveals that the device will run on Android 14 OS out of the box.

This model scored 984 points in the single core test and 3,293 points in the multi core test. In a recent leak, known tipster Digital Chat Station shared the camera specifications of the Vivo X100 Pro. Reportedly, the smartphone will feature a Samsung JN1 ultra wide angle lens and a OmniVision OV64B telephoto camera that offers 4.3x optical zoom. Meanwhile, the primary camera is likely a Sony IMX920 sensor.
