The Vivo X100 series, which made a significant impact with its debut in China last month, is now gearing up for a global launch, with India being one of the key markets.
The international unveiling is set to take place on 14th although in which region, is still a mystery.
However, a new report has indicated that Indian users can expect the lineup to arrive sometime in early next year.
Vivo X100 Series Launch Timeline
Industry sources have confirmed to 91mobiles that the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro are slated for an Indian launch in January 2024.
This anticipated timeline aligns with the recent spotting of the Indian and global variants of these models on the Bluetooth SIG website, a precursor to an imminent arrival in the country.
Vivo X100 Series: Pricing and Expected Specs
The Vivo X100 series has already showcased its full spectrum of specs and features with its initial debut.
The Vivo X100 starts at CNY 3,999 (approximately Rs 45,600), and the Pro variant begins at CNY 4,999 (around Rs 57,100).
These price points set the stage for what can be expected in terms of cost for the Indian market.
The Vivo X100 and X100 Pro boast a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED display, complete with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for a superior visual experience.
The X100 model is equipped with a 50MP main camera featuring a Sony IMX VCS sensor, alongside a 64MP telephoto camera with a Zeiss lens capable of 3x optical zoom.
On the other hand, the X100 Pro steps up the game with a 50MP primary sensor with a Sony IMX989 lens and an additional 50MP Zeiss lens, offering a more impressive 4.3x optical zoom.
Both models include a 50MP ultra-wide-angle camera, significantly enhancing their overall photographic capabilities.
In terms of performance, both the X100 and X100 Pro are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC.
The X100 houses a substantial 5,000 mAh battery with a 100W charger, whereas the X100 Pro features a slightly larger 5,400 mAh battery accompanied by a 120W wired charger.
These devices are designed to deliver peak performance, supported by up to 16GB of LPDDR5T RAM and up to 1TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Their connectivity options are comprehensive, including USB-C 3.2, WiFi-7, 5G, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring that users remain well-connected in various scenarios.
No Word on Vivo X100 Pro+
Initially expected to launch soon, the X100 Pro+ release has been delayed in China for unspecified reasons.
There is little chance of the device hitting Indian shores anyway.
Consequently, the launch is now rescheduled for the first half of 2024, diverging from the earlier speculated April release.
As we have explained before, the launch is expected to coincide with the unveiling of the Vivo Pad 3 tablet and the Vivo X Fold 3 foldable smartphone, marking a substantial expansion in Vivo’s product lineup.
