Vivo X100, Vivo X100 Pro to launch on December 14: All we know about the smartphones so far

Vivo is set to launch its Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro smartphones in the global market on December 14, a month after its release in China.

In Short

• Vivo X100 and X100 Pro set for global launch on December 14, Indian launch expected in January 2024.
• The phones feature a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, a 6.78-inch 8 LTPO AMOLED display, and Vivo's custom V3 chip for photography.
• The X100 and X100 Pro have impressive camera capabilities, with the X100 Pro featuring a 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP Zeiss lens offering 4.3x optical zoom.

Vivo is scheduled to launch the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro smartphones in the global market tomorrow, i.e., December 14. This is exactly a month after the company launched the smartphones in the Chinese market on November 14, 2023. Notably, Vivo is yet to officially launch the smartphones in the Indian market, and that isn’t expected to happen until next month. Vivo has not revealed an official date as to when the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro will launch in India, but reports suggest that it could happen by January 2024. And looking at the November 14 (China launch), and the December 14 (global launch) dates, it may not be the most outrageous thing to assume that the smartphones may launch in India on January 14, 2024.

Since the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro have already launched in China, we have a good idea about the specifications the smartphones will come with. As you would expect from a Vivo flagship smartphone, the highlight of the Vivo X100 series will also be cameras. In fact, Vivo has been hitting the ball out of the park with the cameras on the X-series smartphones, especially since the Vivo X70. We expect nothing less from the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro.

Vivo has also been teasing a new feature on the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro smartphones, which will apparently allow users to even capture the “radiance of sunlight during sunrise and sunset”. We think Vivo X90 could do that pretty well too, but let’s wait and see what the brand is going to do with the X100 series on this front.

Vivo X100 series: Specifications

We also know that the Vivo X100 series will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, and it will run Android 14-based OriginOS 4. The Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro will also come with a 6.78-inch 8 LTPO AMOLED display with 120 HZ refresh rate, and will use Vivo’s custom V3 chip for photography.

The Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro smartphones will come with a triple-rear camera setup, which will be powered by Zeiss lens.The X100 features a 50MP main sensor with a Sony IMX VCS sensor and a 64MP telephoto camera with a Zeiss lens, offering up to 3x optical zoom. On the other hand, the X100 Pro will come with a 50MP primary sensor with a Sony IMX989 lens and a 50MP Zeiss lens, which will bring with it an impressive 4.3x optical zoom. Both devices are equipped with a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera, promising stunning photography capabilities.

Vivo has also teased a deep bluish-grey and a leather-y orange colour variant for the smartphones.

The Vivo X100 is also confirmed to sport a 5,000 mAh battery with 120 W fast charging, meanwhile the Vivo X100 Pro will feature a 5,400 mAh battery with 100 W fast charging and 50 W wireless charging support.
