According to the latest industry reports, the most anticipated straight screen model in May is the vivo X100s series. This series is said to include three models, with the vivo X100s and vivo X100s Pro being relatively minor upgrades, possibly just switching from the Dimensity 9300 to the Dimensity 9300+. Other aspects of the upgrade are not significant.
However, the current focus of the industry is not on the vivo X100s model, but on the vivo X100 Ultra, also known as the "Thanos" model. Surprisingly, the price of the vivo X100 Ultra was leaked ahead of schedule on April 26th. According to the leaked information, the vivo X100 Ultra comes in four versions. The online exclusive 12GB+256GB version is priced at 6499 yuan. The 16GB+256GB version is priced at 6999 yuan, the 16GB+512GB version is priced at 7499 yuan, and the 16GB+1TB version (which also supports two-way satellite communication technology) is priced at 7999 yuan.
PS: These are just leaked prices, and the actual prices will only be confirmed at the final launch event. The vivo X100 Ultra is definitely not going to be cheap, and it can only be described as expensive.
Interestingly, the product manager of the vivo X series joined the discussion and mentioned that the vivo X100 Ultra is unlikely to be cheap. When asked if it could be more expensive than Xiaomi's 14 Ultra, and if vivo would also sell a phone for over 8000 yuan, he responded, "Why not? It was even more expensive last year. Everyone loses money on such products, the key is to make it as powerful as possible."
Now everyone knows! Cost is not an issue for the vivo X100 Ultra. This model aims for the strongest performance possible within current technological limits. As for the official price, it hasn't even been considered. Ultimately, it depends on how far vivo can push the boundaries.
The vivo X100 Ultra features the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 mobile platform, Samsung's E7 luminescent material, a 2K resolution OLED screen, 80W wired fast charging, and a battery capacity of over 5000mAh. Its main selling point lies in its imaging capabilities, with rumors suggesting it will boast a groundbreaking 200-megapixel super telephoto lens, producing photos as large as around 50MB each.
