Price and release date
The Vivo X100 Pro will hit the Chinese market later this month. As usual, it might arrive on the global market but at a later date, just like its predecessor.
In terms of prices, it’s a bit misleading to directly translate the local Chinese prices to US dollars and call it a day, as price tags in China are always much lower than the potential international one the phone may hail.
That said, here are the Vivo X100 Pro prices and how much they translate to in USD.
| Vivo X100 Pro version | Price |
|---|---|
| 12GB + 256GB | CNY4,999 (~$700) |
| 16GB + 256GB | CNY5,299 (~$726) |
| 16GB + 512GB | CNY5,499 (~$800) |
| 16GB + 1TB | CNY5,999 (~$822) |
Camera
Vivo and photography legend Zeiss have done it again: yet another spectacular camera phone vies for your attention, boasting awe-inspiring hardware with a deep bag of software features that make one versatile phone!
The most exciting part of a modern smartphone, its telephoto camera, is no slouch on the Vivo X100 Pro. The Zeiss-certified Vario-APO-Sonar camera is utilizing a so-called floating design which allows up to 96% more light to hit the sensor.
Hardware and specs
Dimensity 9300 takes care of the performance, but what’s more intriguing here is the super-fast LPDDR5T memory available on the most expensive version of the phone. Announced by SK Hynix back in August, LPDDR5T is around 12% faster than LPDDR5X. Paired with the fast UFS4.0 storage, this combo should deliver excellent read and write speeds.
With a dual-cell battery consisting of two 2,700mAh cells (5,400mAh total), the Vivo X100 Pro also supports super-fast 100W wired and 50W wireless charging, which should top up its battery in no time.
