Vivo is gearing up to launch several new products this month in its home market. The company is expected to unveil the Vivo X Fold 3 series of foldable phones and the Vivo Pad 3 lineup of flagship tablets at a launch event in China. However, one of the most awaited devices from the brand, the Vivo X100 Ultra, may not see the light of day anytime soon.
According to a new update from the popular tipster Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X100 Ultra has been delayed and may not launch until May. This means that the device could be launched in May or even later. The reason for the delay is not known, but it could be due to the global chip shortage or some technical issues.
The Vivo X100 Ultra is rumored to be the ultimate camera phone from Vivo, with a stunning camera setup that could rival the best in the industry. The device is said to feature a 50-megapixel LYT-900 main camera with optical image stabilization (OIS) and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, which could support up to 200x digital zoom. The device may also have a 50-megapixel IMX598 ultra-wide lens and an IMX758 telephoto camera.
The Vivo X100 Ultra is also expected to have a premium design and a powerful performance. The device may sport a 6.8-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an under-display selfie camera. The device may be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, which is the next-generation flagship processor from Qualcomm. The device may also have up to 16GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.
The Vivo X100 Ultra may also come with a 5,000mAh battery that supports 120W fast charging and 50W wireless charging. The device may run on Android 12 with OriginOS 2.0 on top. The device may also have an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, NFC, and 5G connectivity.
While the Vivo X100 Ultra is the unofficial name of the device, the company has not confirmed it yet. The device may have a different name when it launches officially. The Vivo X100 Ultra is likely to be the successor of the Vivo X100 and X100 Pro smartphones, which were launched last year with the Dimensity 9300 chipset.
In addition to the Vivo X100 Ultra, the company is also working on another smartphone called the Vivo X100s. This device is expected to have a flat display, the all-new Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, and 120W fast charging support. The Vivo X100s may be launched alongside the Vivo X100 Ultra, or it may be announced at a later date.
The Vivo X100 Ultra and the Vivo X100s are expected to be the flagship offerings from Vivo this year, and they may compete with the likes of Samsung, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and others. The pricing and availability details of these devices are not known yet, but they may be revealed soon. Stay tuned for more updates on these devices.
