Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro launch to take on Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 competition with MediaTek Dimensity 9300 and LPDDR5T RAM

Vivo has finally unveiled the X100 series, which consists of just the X100 and X100 Pro for now. Fundamentally, the pair rely on the same hardware, including a Dimensity 9300 chipset that MediaTek unveiled earlier this month. Vivo also equips both handsets with LTPO AMOLED displays, which measure 6.78-inches across, output at 1,260 x 2,800 pixels, deliver 120 Hz refresh rates and peak at 3,000 nits like the Xiaomi 14 and Xiaomi 14 Pro.

Vivo includes identical 32 MP front-facing and 50 MP ultra-wide-angle cameras too, with the latter offering a 119˚ FOV with a 15 mm equivalent focal length across a 1/2.76-inch sensor. Moreover, the pair complement their flagship chipsets with LPDDR5T RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage, the former a first for smartphones and a RAM type that boasts 9.6 Gbps peak transfer speeds. However, the X100 and X100 Pro differ in the following areas:
