The highly anticipated vivo X100 series has officially made its debut in China, introducing two cutting-edge smartphones – the X100 and the X100 Pro. Setting the stage for innovation, these devices boast the distinction of being the first to showcase MediaTek’s groundbreaking Dimensity 9300 chipset. One of the standout features is the impressive camera setup, with the X100 Pro leading the pack with its Zeiss APO 100mm equivalent periscope lens.
Display and Design
The X100 phones both sport stunning 6.78-inch curved 8T LTPO AMOLED displays, delivering a crisp 1260p resolution, 10-bit colors, and a dynamic 1-120Hz refresh rate. These panels reach a peak brightness of 3,000 nits and incorporate 2,160Hz PWM dimming for enhanced eye protection. Notably, the built-in fingerprint readers and 32MP front-facing cameras, neatly housed within a punch-hole cutout, contribute to the phones’ sleek design.
X100 Pro: Camera
Turning our attention to the X100 Pro’s rear camera setup, it boasts a formidable trio of 50MP shooters, anchored by a 1-inch type Sony IMX989 main sensor. What steals the spotlight is the world’s first mobile telephoto lens certified by Zeiss APO. This periscope lens, featuring an f/2.57 aperture and 100mm equivalent focal length, delivers a remarkable 4.3x optical and up to 100x digital zoom. The lenses, including a 15mm equivalent ultrawide lens with f/2.0 aperture, feature T* lens coating for a 50% reduction in reflectivity compared to its predecessor, the X90 series.

The third contributor is a 15mm equivalent 50MP ultrawide lens. Like its Pro counterpart, all three cameras on the X100 are coated with T* lens coating, promising an exceptional photography experience.
