On May 13th, which is tomorrow, the vivo X100s series launch event will be officially held. While this event may seem to attract a lot of attention, what real consumers are most interested in is the vivo X100s model. This is because it is designed for real ordinary users and is also vivo's first straight-screen flagship in nearly three years, confidently referred to by the official as the "straight-screen answer."
Before its official release, the complete specifications of the vivo X100s have already surfaced online. Information indicates that the vivo X100s will debut globally with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ processor, which is essentially an overclocked version of the Dimensity 9300. Built on TSMC's third-generation 4nm process, it boasts a clock speed of up to 3.4GHz and an Antutu benchmark score of up to 2.3 million, making it the highest-scoring processor in the Android camp currently. Paired with LPDDR5X+UFS4.1 storage combination, it can go up to 16GB+1TB.
The screen features a 1.5K resolution, 6.78 inches in size, with a resolution of 2800*1260, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate and LTPO technology. It's worth noting that this is the first flagship in the vivo X series in nearly three generations to use a flat screen. Previously, the vivo X80 series, X90 series, and X100 series were all curved screen phones. This is one of the reasons why this device is garnering so much attention.
The imaging capabilities are certainly one of the selling points of the vivo X100s. It features a 32-megapixel front camera, a 50-megapixel main rear camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 64-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3X optical zoom support. The camera module should be identical to that of the vivo X100, but with significant upgrades in algorithms and features. The official confirmation includes the debut of four-season portraits and Zeiss-style humanistic photos. The built-in battery reaches 5100mAh (Blue Ocean high-density large battery) supporting 100W wired fast charging, but not wireless fast charging. The body is only 7.8mm thick and weighs just 203 grams.
None of the remaining features like dual speakers, NFC, or infrared will be missing. Additionally, this time the body comes in three versions: titanium, green, and white. The middle frame is also made of metal, and the green back of the phone features a unique craftsmanship, as seen in the official renders, with a distinctive texture. The remaining details include Zeiss coating and performance optimizations, which shouldn't have a significant impact on the overall device.
After confirming the complete specifications of the vivo X100s, the real concern for consumers now is just one thing - the price. Judging by vivo's strategy in the past two years, the vivo X100s is highly likely to maintain the same price as the vivo X100, meaning it could start at 3999 yuan for the 12GB+256GB version. As for the speculated price increase or decrease, it is simply not possible because components in the upstream supply chain have been increasing in price, so even with a minor upgrade, vivo cannot afford to sell at a loss, right!
