Eye protection features include blue light control and 2160 Hz high-frequency dimming. The display has a fingerprint sensor.

Vivo has paid a lot of attention to the phone’s zoom camera and delivered a 100mm ZEISS APO floating periscope camera with it. Well, that’s too much jargon! APO stands for “apochromatic lens”. What does it do? Apochromatic lenses (APO) claim to offer the best color correction capabilities. This means that the red flower you are trying to click in direct sunlight will not have any hints of orange or yellow. Colors are accurate because APO controls chromatic aberration.

Another aspect is the “floating camera”. What is it?

According to Vivo’s floating periscope design and ZEISS APO lens, the camera is able to offer an f/2.5 aperture in the same size, allowing for good image quality whether it’s a 6x or 10x scenario zoom and even in low light. The new stabilization system also helps users take better zoom shots. In addition to this, there is a 15 mm ultra-wide-angle camera with an ISOCELL JN1 sensor and an f/2.0 aperture.

For selfies, there is a 32-megapixel fixed focus camera with night and portrait modes. The Vivo X100Pro is powered by a 5,400mAh battery with 100W FlashCharge and 50W wireless support. The device is IP68 dust and waterproof and supports Wi-Fi 7. It has Dual Nano SIM card slots and eSIM support.
