The Vivo X100 Pro has been launched in Europe with flagship-level specs and pricing comparable to the Samsung Galaxy S24 Plus, featuring high-end hardware such as a MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset and 100W wired charging. However, it falls short in software support compared to competitors, offering only three major Android OS updates and a limited European release in Austria and Czechia.
The Vivo X100 Pro, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 SoC, reportedly experiences thermal throttling, resulting in less than half of its maximum performance. Benchmark tests show that the SoC throttles to only 46% of its maximum performance after two minutes, with core clocks dropping significantly. This performance degradation has been observed by multiple sources, raising concerns about the Dimensity 9300's stability under stress. It should be noted that these CPU stress tests do not reflect real-world usage scenarios.
Vivo has launched the X100 series, the first phones to feature MediaTek's latest chip, the Dimensity 9300. The chip boasts impressive performance with a "big-core" architecture and outperforms Snapdragon's 8 Gen 3 SoC in larger CPU components. The X100 Pro in the series offers a photography focus with three 50 MP cameras and a 1-inch Sony IMX989 sensor, along with an officially certified Zeiss lens. Both devices come with up to 16 GB of RAM and have large batteries with fast charging capabilities. The Vivo X100 series will be available in China starting November 21.
SK hynix has announced the commercialization of its LPDDR5T mobile DRAM, the fastest available today with a transfer speed of 9.6 Gbps. The company has started supplying 16 GB packages of LPDDR5T to global smartphone makers, including Vivo, which will equip its latest smartphones with SK hynix's memory packages. The LPDDR5T operates at an ultra-low voltage range and can process 77 GB of data per second, equivalent to transferring 15 full high-definition movies in one second. This development aims to maximize smartphone performance and meet the growing demand for high-performing mobile DRAMs in the market.
The upcoming Vivo X100 and X100 Pro smartphones are expected to be released globally and may feature the flagship MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chipset. The leak suggests that the X100 Pro will be the preferred choice for power users. The devices are rumored to come to India and will offer high-end 2023 silicon, possibly the same as the Chinese market version. However, one of the models has shown disappointing benchmark scores, possibly due to lower RAM. It is hoped that the performance issues will be resolved before the global release.
The MediaTek Dimensity 9300-powered Vivo X100 has achieved impressive Geekbench scores, surpassing competitors such as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, Exynos 2400, and Apple A17 Pro in multi-core performance. With single-core scores averaging around 2,250 points and multi-core scores reaching up to 7,900, the Dimensity 9300 outperforms its rivals. While its GPU performance is slightly behind the Exynos 2400 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, MediaTek's use of all "large" cores ensures its continued improvement, potentially surpassing Qualcomm, Samsung, and Apple in the future.
