Vivo’s camera-centric flagships were initially unveiled for global markets, including Europe and Southeast Asia, where Vivo has a significant presence. Vivo released both their X100 Pro and X100 smartphones for global release with compelling specifications that compete directly against those offered by Samsung, such as their Galaxy S23 series (released last August) and an anticipated new Galaxy s24 series set for debut next January 2024.
Vivo’s X series smartphones have long been known for their camera-centric approach. They have served as Vivo’s premium offerings until book-style or horizontal foldables like its X Fold series were announced a few years ago. A lot has stayed the same regarding Vivo’s approach towards their product lineup with this newest iteration of this product series, although you should keep this in mind.Vivo X100 Pro and X100 PricingVivo recently unveiled two smartphones at their China launch – Vivo X100 Pro cost CNY 4,999 (approx.
