Highlights Global launch of Vivo X100 and X100 Pro set for December 14. Pre-orders open globally, India launch pending official confirmation. Vivo X100 Pro+ launch delayed to the first half of 2024. X100 series boasts high-end cameras, MediaTek chipsets, and large batteries. The Vivo X100 and X100 Pro global launches are set for December 14. The company's global website features a dedicated page for this launch which says it is to happen at 7.00 PM but there’s no time zone specified. Both devices have already seen the light of day in China, exactly one month before the expected global roll-out, so nothing is out of the ordinary in terms of specs and features. Vivo X100 and 100 Pro: Global Pre-orders and India Launch Vivo X100 and 100 Pro: Global Pre-orders and India Launch Vivo claims it has opened pre-orders for these smartphones globally since November 24. Despite this, the company has not yet initiated pre-orders through its international website, with an expectation that this will commence shortly along with the announcement of the event's time zone. While an official launch in India for the X100 series is yet to be confirmed, recent BIS certification suggests their imminent arrival. The previous models, Vivo X90 and X90 Pro, were also launched in India, albeit with some delay. Vivo X100 Pro+ Delayed Vivo X100 Pro+ Delayed The X100 series is a flagship one alright.
