The Vivo X100 and X100 Pro are both good performers, and the next mega cup may be renamed the X100 Ultra. According to the latest news from @Digital ChatStation, vivo X100 Ultra may be released in May.
If the news is true, then this release time is a bit too late, after all, the Snapdragon 8 gen 4 may be unveiled in early October, with a short interval in between, which may discourage some consumers from switching phones. However, before the 618, it may also be able to increase first-sale sales.
At present, there are also some leaks about the configuration of the vivo X100 Ultra, and it is reported that the machine will use Samsung's 2K E7 centered single punch-hole curved screen. However, the shape of the screen has not changed much, and it is still a relatively conventional hyperboloid. But the good news is that the current prototype is all glass.
In addition, the X100 Ultra will also be powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor with a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint, an estimated battery capacity of more than 5000mAh, and support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. There are also satellite communications, IP68, USB 32 Gen 2 etc.
In terms of imaging, there is a 32-million-pixel lens on the front, a 50-million-pixel LYT-900 main camera on the rear, and a 50-million-pixel ultra-wide-angle (new sensor 100-million-pixel periscope telephoto.
Among them, the LYT-900 is Sony's new generation of 1-inch sensor, which is the same as the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and the OPPO Find X7 Ultra. And for a 200 million telephoto, the equivalent focal length should be between 90mm-100mm, and the native magnification is expected to be less than 43x with support for up to 200x digital zoom.
In addition to the X100 Ultra, the base X100 will also receive a half-generation upgrade, which is the X100S. Judging from the current revelations, the upgrade idea of this generation S is different from the previous generation X90S, mainly because of the change in appearance, which will be changed to a straight screen design.
In terms of configuration, there are not many changes, and it is expected to be powered by a Dimensity 9300 processor with a 1A 5K 8T LTPO display, along with an IMX920 main camera, an OV64B periscope telephoto, a 5400mAh battery, and 80W fast charging. The main thing is that the battery has become larger and the fast charging has become slower.
In short, the upgrade focus of vivo X100 Ultra is still in terms of image, especially the telephoto end, X100 Pro's telephoto is already very strong, and this time the 200 million periscope is even more expected. The X100S, on the other hand, is a straight-screen flagship, and if sales are good, perhaps the next-generation base model will also be directly changed to a straight-screen design.
So, which new device are you looking forward to?
