vivo focuses on camera prowess in its next flagship — X100 Pro

According to vivo, the ZEISS APO Floating Periscope telephoto lens comes with an f/2.5 aperture that "provides unparalleled image quality in 6-10x scenarios," ensuring clear pictures even in low-light conditions. The APO certification guarantees superior control over chromatic aberration, a rarity among smartphone lenses, vivo said.

The smartphone's Xtreme night video feature, supported by the vivo V3 chip, improves low-light videography with vibrant colours and low noise. The Astro mode, equipped with an AR (augmented reality) planetarium, leverages AI and geographical data to identify stars and constellations, offering a celestial photography experience for stargazers.

Under the hood, the X100 Pro boasts the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 flagship platform with a flagship octa-core CPU and a powerful G720 GPU. The Pro Imaging chip V3, developed with a 6nm process, introduces features like 4K cinematic portrait video and 120Hz game frame rate interpolation.

For the first time in the X series, vivo said it has introduced ZEISS Multifocal Professional Photography mode, which purportedly allows users to capture professional portraits with focal lengths up to 100mm, providing flexibility and creative possibilities.

The X100 series' portrait mode covers 24mm (1x), 35mm (approximately 1.5x), 50mm (2.2x), 85mm (3.7x), and 100mm (4.3x). This means users can seamlessly switch between different focal lengths to achieve the desired perspective, making the X100 series a versatile tool for photography enthusiasts.

The vivo portrait lens package integrated into both the X100 Pro and X100 smartphones is designed to offer users golden focal lengths, delivering signature ZEISS bokeh effects, aimed at capturing people perfectly in various environments and distances.
