Vivo is expected to unveil a new X-series flagship phone equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip in Q2 of this year. Previous reports claimed that it will be called the Vivo X100 Pro+ when it arrives on the market. However, recent reports have claimed that it will have Ultra branding, allowing it to rival the likes of the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, and the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. In a leak on Weibo, tispter Digital Chat Station addressed the device as the Vivo X100 Ultra. In addition, he also revealed the key details of the smartphone.
According to the tipster, the Vivo X100 Ultra will have the Samsung manufacturer’s E7 AMOLED panel with curved edges. For those who don’t know, the X100 and X100 Pro feature BOE-supplied OLED screens. It is likely that the Vivo X100 Ultra will inherit the same 6.78-inch display that was available on the Vivo X90 Pro+.
Several reports have claimed that the Vivo X100 Ultra will feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. The new leak states that the camera will have a focal length of 100mm. The leaker claims that the periscope zoom camera of the X100 Ultra performs better than that of the Vivo X100 Pro, even at the same level of magnification. The difference is immediately noticeable, according to the tipster.
He further said that the existing prototypes of the Vivo X100 Ultra are equipped with glass bodies. In addition, the device will also arrive with support for two-way satellite communication.
Before announcing the X100 Ultra, Vivo is expected to hold a launch event in March in China. The event is likely to see the arrival of the Vivo X Fold 3 series, the Vivo Pad 3 series, and the Vivo X100s. It is likely that the X100 Ultra may break cover in April.
