Vivo X100s and X100s Pro launched with Dimensity 9300+

VivoAlthough it attracted attention with the X100 Ultra model, it also announced mid-year innovations for the X100 and X100 Pro models. The new models carry an “s” tag in their names and feature the more powerful Dimensity 9300+ chipset. This chipset offers improvements over the 9300 chip used in the previous model, increasing the clock speed of the Cortex-X4 core to 3.4GHz and increasing APU performance in AI tasks by 10%. However, the ARM Immortalis-G720 GPU remains unchanged.

Vivo The X100s Pro pairs the chipset with the Vivo V3 imaging chip, while the standard model still uses the older V2 chip. Like the 2023 models, the Pro model has a large 1/0.98-inch IMX989 image sensor, resulting in a larger camera bump. The phone itself is a bit thicker and heavier; It is 8.91mm thick and weighs 224 grams, which gives it a higher battery capacity of 5,400mAh. Charging is done with 100W via USB-C and 50W wirelessly.

However, now the Vivo X100s is closing the gap further with a new 5,100mAh battery (up from 5,000mAh in the previous X100 model). This is owed to second-generation silicon battery technology. Charging is done only via wire and is carried out with 100W (it was 120W in the previous model).

Still, the X100s is thinner than both the original X100 (8.5mm) and the X100s Pro (8.91mm), at 7.8mm thick. Although it’s thinner, its weight is essentially the same at 203 grams. An interesting development is that both s-models have an IP69 rating, which resists strong high-temperature water jets. This is in addition to the IPX8 rating for submersion. That’s it for the upgrades, everything else is the same as before. The two X100s phones feature 6.78-inch LTPO OLED displays with 1-120Hz and offer 10-bit colors with a resolution of 1,260 x 2,800px. The displays reach 3,000 nits of brightness and use 2,160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. Vivo has developed pixel compensation technology that promises to more than double screen lifespan.

With the vanilla X100s offering a flat screen, it could be seen as an upgrade for some compared to the curved screen of the X100 model. The 1/2″, f/2.5, 4.3x). The vanilla X100s offers a smaller 50MP main module (f/1.57″) and a 50MP ultrawide camera. The telephoto camera has a periscope design with a 50MP sensor (f / 2.57, 3x). Both phones have 32 MP selfie cameras with f / 2.0 lens. Both models are available in titanium, white and black/dark gray color options, including the green option of the standard version. Both models start at 12/256GB and top out at 16GB/1TB. These innovations are designed to better respond to users’ needs and enable them to compete with other devices on the market.
