Vivo X100 Pro and X100 With Dimensity 9300 SoC, 50-Megapixel Cameras Launched Globally: Specifications, Prices

After its debut in Vivo's home market, the company's camera-centric flagships have now been announced for the global market. This would mainly include Europe and Southeast Asian markets, where the company has a noticeable presence. Vivo has announced both its X100 Pro and the X100 for global markets, and they both pack in some interesting specifications. Both smartphones will compete with the likes of Samsung's Galaxy S23 series and the upcoming Galaxy S24 series, which is set to debut in January 2024.

Vivo's X series has always been a camera-focused premium smartphone offering for years. It has been Vivo's most high-end smartphone offering until the brand introduced its X Fold series of book-style or horizontal foldables a few years ago. With the X100 series, not much has changed in terms of Vivo's approach towards this product lineup.
