Vivo X100 series announced with flagship cameras and the power of Dimensity 9300

When it comes to flagship phones that stand out for their camera quality, Vivo’s X series is among the well-known ones. The most expensive Vivo phones you can get your hands on in many regions including India, the X-series sports great camera sensors, a UI tuned to make the most of it, and even a dedicated chip for better image processing. Now, the newest X-series phone brings something extra to the table – a true flagship chipset.

The Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro have been announced for the China market, and their stand-out feature is the new MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset. Rivalling the recently launched Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 is a 4nm chipset that can clock up to 3.25GHz. It also features a more powerful Immortalis G720 GPU with hardware-based ray tracing support and supports Bluetooth 5.4.
