In November last year, vivo released two curved screen flagships, the X100 and X100 Pro. And in Q2 this year, the X100 is expected to usher in a half-generation upgrade, the X100S. According to related leaks, its parameters have not changed significantly compared to the basic X100, but the appearance will be changed to a vertical screen design.
For reference, the already released vivo X100 features a piece of 678-inch 2800*1260 resolution display with local peak brightness of 3000nit. It is powered by a Dimensity 9300 processor, has a built-in 5000mAh battery, supports 120W wired fast charging, and has IP68.
In terms of imaging, it is equipped with a 50MP main camera + 50MP ultra-wide angle + 64MP telephoto. Among them, the main camera is the IMX902 sensor, F 157 aperture. The telephoto, on the other hand, is the rave reviews periscope lens found on the previous generation of the X90 Pro+, and it supports a 15cm telephoto macro.
Based on the starting price of 3999 yuan, vivo X100's comprehensive configuration is very strong, and the image ability can even be said to be one of the strongest in the same class. Of course, the small shortcomings of the past vivo X100 have also been inherited, and this time there is still no wireless charging, which is still a bit of a pity.
Then there is the controversy on the screen, the popularity of straight screen machines in the past two years has been very high, and many flagships have changed to straight screens or class 25D design, it's just that the vivo X series has been sticking to the curved screen scheme. Which is better, straight screen or curved screen, it all depends on the user's usage habits, and there is no standard answer.
But the vivo X100s features a straight screen, which is certainly good news for straight screen enthusiasts. If its configuration doesn't change much from the already released vivo X100, then its appearance won't make the X100 obsolete. In this way, for consumers, there are two choices at the same time.
As for the release date, the previous generation Vivo X90 was released in November 2022, and its half-generation upgrade, the X90S, was released in June last year. If the X100S continues this release rhythm, it may also be at the tail end of Q2.
In addition, the Vivo X100 series is also expected to debut in Q2 this year, namely the X100 Pro+ (tentative name). As a flagship flagship, the current focus of the revelations is also in terms of imaging, and it is said that the machine will be equipped with a LYT900 main camera + 50MP ultra-wide angle + 200MP periscope telephoto.
Before these two new phones, vivo is also expected to release a new flagship tablet vivo Pad 3, as well as the **foldable screen model vivo X Fold 3 series, the former is equipped with a Dimensity 9300 processor, and the latter is equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor.
In short, vivo may have multiple flagship product releases in the first half of this year, so which one are you most looking forward to?
