Details about Vivo's forthcoming X100 series smartphones continue to surface online ahead of their official launch. For reference, the company has now revealed that the Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro will debut on November 13 in China, shortly after the releases of the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro. Incidentally, Vivo has also confirmed that it will unveil the Watch 3 during the same event, its first smartwatch in almost two years.
Moreover, Vivo has showcased the X100 Pro in a second colour option, having previously teased the handset in a light blue finish. Seemingly, this orange vegan leather model is a tie in with Vivo's marketing about the X100 Pro's camera capabilities. In a lengthy Weibo post, a Vivo executive claims that the company has tuned the X100 Pro's cameras to capture detailed shots at sunrise and sunset even with its 100 mm telephoto camera.
While the X100 Pro is also rumoured to feature a 200 MP primary camera, the cheaper X100 will make do with nominally lesser optics. According to Digital Chat Station, Vivo has equipped the X100 with an f/1.57 primary camera, possibly the Sony IMX920 or a Lytia LYT-8xx sensor. Furthermore, the device is said to rely upon the Omnivision OV64B as its telephoto camera, a 64 MP sensor with a 1/1.2-inch optical format, a 70 mm equivalent focal length and an f/2.57 aperture.
Meanwhile, the same handset is expected to use the Samsung ISOCELL JN1 for ultra-wide-angle optics, which outputs at 50 MP with a 1/2.76-inch format and a 15 mm equivalent focal length. Both handsets should come with Zeiss Vario-Tessar (T*) lenses too, as well as high-end MediaTek chipsets and Vivo's V3 image signal processor (ISP).
