Vivo has finally launched the much-awaited X100 series. The smartphone lineup includes two models, which are the standard one and the Pro model. Interestingly, this is the second smartphone lineup in China which launched with the next-gen flagship processor recently. A few days ago, Xiaomi 14 landed in China with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC and now Vivo has launched the X100 series with Mediatek’s latest Dimensity 9300 SoC.
I am comparing the Vivo X100 with the Xiaomi 14 side by side. Let’s see how they compete with each other.
The Vivo X100 is equipped with a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display that comes with a 2800 x 1260 pixel resolution and up to 120Hz refresh rate. Furthermore, the display is said to have 3000 nits of peak brightness.
Next to it, there’s Xiaomi 14, which has a 6.36-inch LTPO OLED display that supports 68 billion colours, a 120Hz refresh rate, and Dolby Vision as well. This display also has a 1200 x 2670 pixel resolution and 3000 nits of peak brightness.
