The Vivo X100 wants to Claim the Smartphone Photography Throne
While some might say that smartphone cameras have mostly stagnated in terms of hardware, there are rare occasions when we see some rather impressive strides with new devices. One example is Vivo’s new X100 Ultra, which was recently announced for Chinese markets.
With that being said, Vivo has clearly positioned the X100 Ultra to take on the likes of the iPhone and Galaxy Ultra series, with some formidable camera specifications – the phone’s immensely large camera module contains a 1-inch main camera with a Sony LYT-900 sensor, in addition to a 200MP periscope camera and 1/1.4″ ISOCELL HP9 sensor, which was developed with Samsung.
Additionally, the X100 Ultra’s imaging system also packs the V3+ imaging chip inside, which Vivo says is designed to process professional-looking videos.
Other hardware details include a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip inside, with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. The front of the phone features a large 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 3,000 nits of peak brightness. Powering the phone is a 5,500 mAh battery with 80W charging support.
The phone starts at around $900 when converted for the base storage configuration, which comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB of RAM.
