Vivo has announced that it will launch its flagship X100 series in India on January 4, 2024. The X100 series consists of two models: the X100 and the X100 Pro. Both phones feature ZEISS camera technology, MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset, and vivo V3 chip for photography. The X100 series also boasts of a unique feature that can capture the radiance of the sun during sunrise and sunset.
The X100 series is the result of a collaboration between vivo and ZEISS, the world-renowned optics company. The phones are equipped with ZEISS lenses, ZEISS T* coating, and ZEISS APO certification. The ZEISS APO certification is the industry’s first and it ensures minimal chromatic aberration and high resolution in telephoto shots.
The X100 Pro has a 50MP 1-inch main camera sensor, which is the industry’s largest. It also has a 50MP 4.3X periscope telephoto and a 50MP ultrawide camera. The X100 has a 50MP primary camera, a 64MP periscope telephoto with 3X optical zoom and a 50MP ultrawide camera. Both phones support up to 100X digital zoom but only the Pro model supports 8K video recording. They also have a 32MP front camera for selfies.
The X100 series also features the ability to capture the radiance of the sun during sunrise and sunset. This feature uses an algorithm to capture the depth and colour accuracy of the sun, instead of AI. The phones can also adjust the exposure and white balance automatically to produce stunning photos of the sun.
