Exclusive: vivo X100s leaks ahead of May debut
We have some exclusive photos of the upcoming vivo X100s. We previously heard that vivo is going with a new, flatter design and moving on from the curvy X100, and these photos confirm it. Our source also suggests a launch in May for the X100s, X100s Pro and X100s Ultra trio.
The X100s has a flat frame with a textured finish and a lightly curved (2.5D) rear glass panel. The camera island has a knurled ring and four cameras. The camera system is seemingly unchanged from the X100 - which entails a 15-70mm setup with a 15mm ultrawide, a 70mm periscope, and a 50MP f/1.6 main camera.
Vivo has channeled the iPhone 15 Pro with the design of the X100s. It has a flat-edged display, and a similar color scheme, but is significantly thinner at 7.89mm (8.3mm for the iPhone).
Expect a choice of white, black, cyan, an titanium. Vivo will unveil the X100s m, likely with a Dimensity 9300+ chip with higher-clocked Cortex-X4 (3.4GHz).
The vivo X100 started at CNY 3,999 and we expect the X100s to cost about the same - undercutting its Apple competitor.
The vivo X100 was China-locked at first, but came out globally at the end of 2023, so we expect the X100s to follow in that same tragectory.
