vivo confirmed the launch of the X100 Ultra with the X100s duo on May 13th through their Weibo account.
The event will feature the vivo X100 Ultra, vivo X100s, and vivo X100s Pro. These phones are already listed on vivo’s online store in China, along with their configurations and colorways.
The X100 Ultra has a unique camera setup in comparison to the other X100 series devices. It will provide users with flagship-tier camera technologies that excel in the following:
- The micro-gimbal anti-shake telephoto will be able to capture high-speed vehicles
- The macro feature of the telephoto camera will have the biggest magnification rate among smartphones — 3.4:1.
- The dark light telephoto portrait option will provide clear photos without glaring nor reflections
- The telephoto lens can also capture starlight in the night sky.
- The X100 Ultra will be able to capture vivid sunsets, sunrise, and flowing clouds with Zeiss technology.
The pricing for all three models have also been leaked in China. The X100 Ultra is rumored to start at CNY 6,699 (PHP 53,186.93) with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There is also a 16GB RAM with 512GB of storage priced at CNY 7,499 (PHP 59,538.56).
In addition, the X100 Ultra is also slated to have a top-of-the-line variant with 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage priced at CNY 8,499 (PHP 67,478.09).
These are surely flagship-level prices, as vivo billed the X100 Ultra as ‘a professional camera that can also make calls’. After all, the vivo X100 will come equipped with a large 200MP periscope telephoto sensor.
Next the vivo X100s will start at CNY 3,999 (PHP 31,750.19) with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This will go up to CNY 4,399 (PHP 34,926.00) for 16GB+256GB model, CNY 4,699 (PHP 37,307.86) for the 16GB+512GB variant, and finally CNY 5,199 (PHP 41,277.63) for the 16GB+1TB option.
Finally, the vivo X100s Pro is set to be priced at CNY 4,999 (PHP 39,689.72) with 12GB+256GB, CNY 5,599 (PHP 44,453.44) with 16GB+512GB, and CNY 6,199 (PHP 49,217.16) with 16GB+1TB.
The vivo X100s and vivo x100s Pro are expected to be soft refreshes of the X100 and X100 Pro. The main difference between these are the new models’ flat displays and their use of the Dimensity 9300+ chipset. Meanwhile, the vivo X100 Ultra should be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3.
