The highly anticipated global debut of the Vivo X100 Pro took place on Thursday, marking its international release subsequent to its initial introduction in China. As a proud addition to Vivo’s esteemed X Series, this smartphone boasts a striking 6.78-inch AMOLED display, showcasing an impressive 120Hz refresh rate and an outstanding peak brightness of 3,000 nits, setting the stage for a visually immersive experience.
While Vivo might not be as globally recognized as some brands like Huawei, it’s a significant player sharing lineage with Oppo and OnePlus under the umbrella of BBK Electronics.
The phone runs on Mediatek’s cutting-edge Dimensity 9300 chipset, which is equipped with on-device generative AI capabilities. Mediatek promises it can run AI models with 7 billion parameters per second at 20 tokens per second, or generate an image using Stable Diffusion in less than one second.
Like Google’s Pixel 8, the Vivo X100 Pro has several features that use all that AI-processing. It can summarize articles and interviews. You can have the X100 Pro produce plans for an activity and even create images from a word prompt. We look forward to getting our hands on the X100 Pro to test these features and more.
Vivo emphasizes the X100 Pro’s unwavering dedication to photography enthusiasts. Flaunting a sophisticated rear camera setup comprising three 50-megapixel lenses—a wide, an ultra-wide, and a periscope-style telephoto lens—this device elevates imaging experiences to new heights. Notably, the telephoto lens, with a full-frame equivalent focal length of 100mm, stands out as a unique addition. Additionally, the X100 Pro showcases its prowess in video recording with the ability to capture 4K cinematic portrait videos, seemingly Vivo’s response to Apple’s Cinematic Mode and Samsung’s Portrait video feature. Distinguished with Zeiss branding, the camera system incorporates premium elements like a T* lens coating and Zeiss optics. On the front, a 32-megapixel selfie camera caters to stunning self-portraits and seamless video calls.
Fueling this powerhouse is a robust 5,400mAh battery, accompanied by the convenience of 100W wired fast charging and wireless charging support. Despite an impressive global launch packed with top-tier features, it’s important to note that Vivo currently has no plans for the X100 Pro’s release in the US, and an official price tag for this remarkable device is yet to be unveiled.
