Vivo is gearing up to launch the X100 Ultra and X100s smartphones this month, and the focus is firmly on camera capabilities. While leaks and teasers have been building anticipation, official details from Vivo paint a clearer picture of what to expect.
Jia Jingdong, the Vice President of Vivo Brand revealed new information regarding the device on Weibo. The new teasers show the Vivo X100 Ultra with a Natural Titanium-inspired color. While the X100s model flaunts a green hue. The phone takes the DNA from the original X100 series. Hence the models come with a similar circular camera module design. However, the difference is that this time the company will offer a flat display for the X100s model.
Along with the teaser, the company has also revealed the camera capabilities and other details. Let’s take a brief look at them below.
Vivo X100 Ultra Camera
The X100 Ultra emphasizes professional-grade imaging capabilities. Vivo’s development focused on six key telephoto scenarios. This includes high-speed sports, low-light portraits, and polar starry sky. Furthermore, it also includes extreme macro, telephoto sun, and telephoto stage (concert photography).
The Vivo X100 Ultra features a 200-megapixel Zeiss APO super telephoto with an HP9 sensor. The phone also features a 50-megapixel LYT-900 main camera with CIPA 4.5-level gimbal stabilization. Vivo also partnered with Zeiss and top suppliers for the camera enhancements. Moreover, the company also uses its own Blueprint Imaging Technology and V3+ imaging chip. With all of this combined, Vivo X100 Ultra features a capable camera setup.

Gizchina News of the week
Vivo X100s will be a polished version of the classic X100 smartphone. The major change is that it will offer a flat display. For comparison, the original X100 models used curved displays. Moreover, the smartphone will also bring the Dimensity 9300 Plus. It is an overclocked version of the original Dimensity 9300. Earlier, we covered the AnTuTu and Geekbench scores of the Dimensity 9300+, and it was impressive.
The X100s seem to bring new software enhancements rather than hardware to the camera department. The Vivo official reveals that the phone will have a new humanistic street photography mode for SLR-like control. Moreover, it will also offer the latest “Four Seasons Portrait” mode.
The Four Seasons Portrait mode changes the background of a picture to the desired season. For example, it could change the background of a normal image to match summer vibes. This is all done thanks to the AI capabilities coming with the smartphone. It could be useful for those who want social media-ready photos.
Vivo is targeting the mobile photography enthusiasts
Vivo has revealed most of the details regarding the upcoming models. With this information, we can say that these are camera flagship phones. The target of the company for the upcoming models is mobile photography enthusiasts. The company is doing this by featuring top-notch hardware and software. For example, the 200MP sensor on the Vivo X100 Ultra and different AI modes present on the Vivo 100s.
However, there is no highlight of videography from the company. In the current market, Apple shines in the videography segment. Hence, it will be important if Vivo also showcases the performance of the videography of the X100U and X100s models. After all, photo and video capabilities are equally important to judge the camera system.
In conclusion, the Vivo X100s and X100 Ultra models are camera-centric smartphones. In this article, we unveiled the camera capabilities of each model. Moreover, we also discussed the potential highlights of the phone. Since, the phones are not released, we cannot state more details. Though, from currently known information, it is safe to say the unique selling point of the phones are its camera.
