Should you buy the Vivo X100 Pro? In my opinion, the short answer is yes. For a more detailed response, check out this article. The X100 comes with four notable additions according to me: Sunshots, five portrait modes with diverse focal lengths and effects, a new MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor, and an upgraded display. The battery has also seen improvement, but we'll delve into that shortly
The camera has also been improved in terms of the x100 pro. It's a brand new device. Even if you use it with your eyes closed, your photos will still turn out well. If they aren't coming out well, it's a skill problem. Computational photography has been enhanced in the primary camera, with improved scene detection. A new floating lens element has been added to the telephoto camera, allowing each lens to move for a crisp focus in close-ups. The ultra-wide lens captures even better details and has star coating for reduced lens flare during nighttime. Unlike iPhones and Google phones, you won't face issues with skin tones. The phone excels in optical clarity and offers precise color accuracy. Vivo encourages photo editing with a provided lookup table. There's also a video portrait mode that works well, and various modes like food mode, supermoon mode, and Apex master mode are available in the x100 pro, but further research is needed for detailed information on these modes
Long answer: If you desire excellence in optical photography within India, you should consider the Vivo X100 Pro. Here, you won't find the hassle of excessive computational photography and complex algorithms. Abundant LUTs are at your disposal, and tools are conveniently placed for your use. The performance is excellent, and the battery, along with 100W charging, is commendable. Occasionally, you might feel you've paid a bit more, and there could be a slight issue with voltage. However, Vivo needs to improve the UI. Once they address this, the phone becomes a top recommendation for a camera phone. That concludes this article. If you liked my article, be sure to share it with your family and friends because they might find it helpful too. Until next time, goodbye.

Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor, featured for the first time in any phone, comes with 512GB storage and 16GB RAM, and it's a single variant with no upper or lower options. It outperforms other intelligent camera phones like Pixel or Galaxy S series during photo editing, as it remains fast without generating excess heat. With an impressive 2028609 Antutu score, it rivals the performance of the iQOO 12. This phone lacks unnecessary apps, but there's one app sending notifications, similar to themes apps in flagships. Xiaomi and Oppo are the remaining brands needing to address bloatware. However, there's still an issue with notifications in terms of UI – occasionally, they don't appear properly, covering text in WhatsApp notifications, making it seem less polished.Display
Talking about the display, this year they've made 1 or 2 quality-of-life changes. Firstly, an 8T or 8 transistors LTPS AMOLED display has been introduced. These 8 transistors contribute to battery efficiency, providing an actual refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120Hz, resulting in a butter-smooth experience. The brightness is 3000 nits, aligning well with the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.Battery
The battery is intriguing, with a slim 5400mAh capacity but a 100W peak charging capability. Even though the charger is 120W, it supports only 100W, which is still quite interesting. Both the Vivo X90 Pro and X100 are somewhat older phones, with a peak voltage of 120W. In real-life usage, the difference is minimal, around 3 to 4 minutes, which seems reasonable. The battery life is good, lasting around a day with approximately 6.5 hours of screen on time. However, there's a bit of confusion regarding screen off time, lasting barely a day if not in use – placing it in a bag may lead to significant battery drain. It appears that Vivo needs to address this issue.Design
Talking about the build, the IP rating is something new we are seeing here – it's IP68 certified. In terms of design, they've made changes to the rear camera ring that was a bit protruding and looked plastic-like last year. They replaced it with a premium metal ring, making the whole camera module a bit larger. If you observe the camera closely, it might trigger OCD because the circular camera module is slightly raised towards the top. If you go above x100, it's intentional – it's like a solar eclipse in Vivo's design language.Conclusion
