Vivo's real success with its premium X series of smartphones took off with the X70 Pro+, in 2021. Back then, I compared it with Xiaomi's mega Mi 11 Ultra and the X70 Pro+ made good use of its unique gimbal stabilisation system (it also introduced its V1 imaging chip), which provided good stability while shooting video in all types of lighting conditions. Next up was the Vivo X80 Pro, which was a worthy successor to the same, it introduced features like a hand-held astrophotography mode and excelled at low light imaging using all 4 of its rear cameras. The Vivo X90 Pro which followed saw Vivo losing its focus missing some hardware essentials and struggling to deliver on the camera and performance front as well.
Compared to the above three models, the new Vivo X100 Pro appears quite different, even though it retains many of the elements that made the previous models special. There's the distinct curved edge display which Vivo refuses to let go of, but it all results in a phone that appears different and feels unique. The brand retains the triple rear camera setup but with new hardware. Vivo also introduces its new and more powerful V3 imaging chip with the X100 Pro. This along with the new MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC (a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 equivalent) makes it a very intriguing and interesting offering from Vivo. I've been using this phone for a couple of weeks and here's what I think about it.
It may not necessarily be a competitor to Samsung's Galaxy's S23 Ultra (as it falls in a completely different price bracket), but it will surely give Google's pricey and AI-driven Pixel 8 Pro (from Rs. 1,06,999) a run for its money. The Vivo X100 Pro is priced at Rs. 89,999 for the sole 16GB RAM and 512GB storage variant. In the box, Vivo gives you a charger, a Type-C charging cable, and a well-made, durable silicon case.
Just like the X90 Pro, the Vivo X100 Pro is also available in a single finish and it's called Asteroid Black, which has a fluorite anti-glare glass back panel. Indeed, Vivo does not give buyers any choice compared to other brands at this price point. The orange vegan-leather finish which was launched in China still remains a distant dream for the brand's customers in India.
The Vivo X100 Pro's design has seen plenty of refinements over last year's X90 Pro. Starting off with size, it's still quite large and chunky and the massive cookie-shaped camera bump adds to its thickness. However, Vivo has managed to make it appear slimmer with a more rounded design and it's possibly the reason why Vivo still sticks to a 3D curved edge display, when most manufacturers have stopped using it.
Vivo's X100 Pro appears very different from the older X90 Pro model.
