Balancing tech, performance in new vivo X100 Series

In the ever-evolving smartphone market, vivo has unveiled its latest offering, the X100 series, showcasing a commitment to blending photography and performance.
 
The new smartphone range is positioned to capture the attention of users with its unique approach to design and functionality.

The X100 series emphasizes a balance between advanced photography technology and performance. With features like the ZEISS APO Floating Telephoto Camera and a flagship-grade octa-core CPU, the devices aim to deliver a practical user experience for a range of tasks.

Milky Way-inspired design

The exterior design draws inspiration from star trails, resembling the Milky Way. It features a circular camera module with a quad-camera setup. The outer ring of the lens module is encircled by an aerospace-grade mirror-finished stainless steel moon ring cloud stage, giving an overall feeling of "sun, moon, and stars, all within reach."

Available in Asteroid Black and Startrail Blue, the device introduces subtle textures and a curved design for a tactile experience.

Photography capabilities

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the inclusion of a "universal and widely adopted periscope telephoto" feature and an upgraded primary camera with the new Sony IMX920 sensor. 

Additionally, the X100 is equipped with the OV64B sensor, providing users with long-range and macro photography capabilities.

The cameras of the X100 Series meet high standards for coating called ZEISS T*. This coating helps reduce reflections and stray light. Because of the improved coating, the images you get are clear, pure, and authentic.

The X100 Pro takes a step further with the 50 MP ZEISS APO Floating Telephoto Camera, featuring an f/2.5 large aperture and image stabilization. Regardless of distance, light, or darkness, you are set free to convey your creative vision.

Furthermore, it comes with the vivo V3 chip, which supports 4K Cinematic Portrait Video recording, offering enhanced versatility and playability.

Flagship performance

The vivo X100 series runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 octa-core CPU, designed for strong performance. 

The CPU design includes a 3.25GHz Cortex-X4 core, three 2.85GHz Cortex-X4 cores, four 2GHz Cortex-A720 cores, along with the Immortalis-G720 GPU. It does not have power-efficient or low-power cores; each core packs a punch.
