Vivo X100 Pro arrives in Europe with Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus pricing and flagship specs to match
The Vivo X100 series has now made its way to Europe, almost three months after its Chinese debut. In the intervening period, the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro arrived in India, starting from INR 63,999 (~$770) and INR 89,999 (~$1,083), respectively. Surprisingly, the Vivo X100 Pro is considerably more expensive in Europe than in India, despite featuring the same overarching hardware.
Specifically, Vivo has priced its latest flagship at €1,199, which converts to $1,299 at current exchange rates, including taxes. In other words, the Vivo X100 Pro costs almost as much as any top Android flagship, excluding the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Instead, Vivo has positioned the X100 Pro closer to the Galaxy S24 Plus, with a €50 surcharge over Samsung's handset that includes 16 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage.
However, while Vivo equips the X100 Pro with high-end hardware like a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, LPDDR5T RAM, 100 W wired charging and a 1/0.98-inch primary camera, it cannot compete with Google, Samsung and its peers in software support. According to Vivo, the X100 Pro will receive three major Android OS updates from Android 14 onwards and comes with a three-year warranty.
Similarly, Vivo's European release only extends to Austria and Czechia, the preferred name for the Czech Republic. Moreover, the company has seemingly decided against selling the X100, too. Other changes for the X100 Pro include unspecified camera tuning tweaks and more diverse frequency bands, as well as an integrated eSIM for all SKUs.
