Vivo's X Pro series has been known for its excellent cameras, often backed up by impressive hardware and innovative design.

So now Vivo launched its X100 series recently, those looking for a relatively mainstream flagship had their eyes on the more affordable X100, but photography fans focused (pun intended) on its Pro bro.

And with good reason. The Vivo X100 Pro packs in enough on paper to be considered a phone photographer's dream.

Like its predecessor, the Vivo X100 Pro also comes with cameras with Carl Zeiss optics. There is a 50-megapixel one-inch main sensor, one of the largest seen in phone cameras (bigger than the sensors on the iPhone 15 Pro Max, Google Pixel 8 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra), a 50-megapixel telephoto with 4.3x optical zoom and a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor. The camera is capable of delivering not just very good images but also 8K video and has digital zoom capability of a staggering 100x.

This being a Vivo phone, there are also likely to be several shooting modes and editing options, with OriginOS on top of Android 14. The phone also comes with a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 2800x1260 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Keeping all this running is the task of a large 5,400mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. It is the first phone to run on MediaTek's new flagship-level Dimensity 9300 chip, so you can be assured that it will handle anything you throw at it with elan.

All this flagship goodness comes at a starting price of CNY 4,999, which is about Rs 57,000 in direct INR conversion. The phone is expected to come soon to India, and although we cannot exactly say when and at what price (previous X series phones generally come at significantly higher prices in India, although we hope this will change), it is sure to face some stiff competition.
