Introduction:
A year later, another flagship X100 Pro from vivo hit the market with an impressive camera, premium display and an alternative high-end chipset. With three 50-megapixel cameras, an advertised display with 3,000 nit peak brightness, and a robust Dimensity SoC, the company's latest and greatest X-Series certainly sounds interesting, and we've got the scoop for you.
The camera system is equipped with a 1-inch sensor with 1/0.98 according to vivo. A periscope telephoto lens boosts the zoom level to 4.3x optical zoom, while an ultra-linear autofocus camera completes the competent triple setup.
The diagonal of the screen of the previous generation remained at 6.78 inches, the resolution also remained unchanged, although vivo offers a maximum brightness of 3000 nits, let's see.
Another big thing is the Dimensity 9300 chip, where small cores are also big, with four times more cores than the last version of Snapdragon. The power certainly wouldn't be four times as strong, but how did it compare?
Another big improvement this time around is the increased battery capacity. The X100 Pro comes with a 5,400 mAh battery in a sea of 5,000 mAh and less than its rivals. Is it just meant to compete with Mediatek chips, or are we in for record-breaking longevity?
Before we start answering these burning questions, a quick overview of the main features.

vivo X100 Pro unboxing
The X100 Pro comes in the usual flat, square box that we usually get with Vivo flagship phones. There is also a collection of general accessories inside.
While the phone itself is rated for up to 100W charging, you get a 120W adapter. There's also a USB-C cable.
A black, self-adhesive back cover was also included for our black test unit, but we've seen clear cases in other colors online.
