The Vivo X series is traditionally known for launching excellent camera-focused smartphones. The Vivo X90 series was the latest iteration of this lineup, and now Vivo is gearing up for its next milestone under the Vivo X100 series. The next Vivo X100 Pro will be the brand’s most impressive device yet in terms of camera. Vivo plans to increase the camera capabilities of this smartphone, and now we get the first details (source) about the camera setting on the new flagship phone.
Vivo X100 camera features
The vivo X100 Pro will feature a 100mm periscope lens with a wide f/2.5 aperture tuned for low-light photography. The unit will also feature the OmniVision OV64B, a 64MP 1/2-inch sensor that has 0.7-micron native pixels and supports 4-in-1 panning and 2x native digital crop. Moreover, Vivo continues to collaborate with Zeiss for camera tuning. The device will use Vario-Apo-Sonnar lenses, which is an interesting technology that will enhance the capabilities of this smartphone. Check the explanation for more details.
Understanding the Vario-Apo-Sonnar lenses inside the Vivo X100
“Fario-Abu-Sonar” Indicates A type of camera lens standard designed by the famous German optics manufacturer, Carl Zeiss. This lens design incorporates many optical features to provide exceptional image quality and versatility for photographers and videographers. Let us analyze the term and its components:

VarioVario: Vario stands for contrast or contrast. In the context of camera lenses, the term “vario” refers to a lens that has variable focal lengths or zoom capabilities. This allows the user to zoom in and out and adjust the field of view without changing the lens itself.
waterApo: “Apo” is short for “apochromatic,” which we discussed earlier. An achromatic lens is designed to reduce chromatic aberration by bringing multiple wavelengths of light into a common point of focus. This results in sharper, higher-quality images with reduced color fringing.
sonarSonnar: a specific type of lens design developed by Carl Zeiss. The Sonnar design is known for its excellent optical performance, compact size, and often wide maximum aperture. It has been used in various Zeiss lenses with different focal lengths.
By combining these elements, the “Vario-Apo-Sonnar” refers to a lens that offers both variable focal lengths (zoom capabilities) and color correction, while also following the principles of Sonnar lens design.
Along with the 64MP main camera, the Vivo X100 Pro will also come with a 53MP f 1/1.43 sensor.
Other details about the Vivo X100 series
Vivo X100 series will contain three smartphones. Namely, we are expecting Vivo X100, X10 Pro, and Vivo X100 Pro+. The Global Vivo X100 will feature the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9300 processor, which is developed to compete with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. The Pro+ model will feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and will also bring a Vivo V3 ISP chip for image processing tasks. The Pro+ will also bring an impressive 200MP tele camera, and a 50MP 1-inch IMX 989 camera.
iQOO 12 series to share similar specifications
Interestingly, the iQOO sub-brand will also benefit from this technology. The Vivo subsidiary is working on a telephoto camera similar to the X100 Pro. This sensor will also come with the iQOO 12 Pro which will use the OV64B inside the 5x periscope camera. It will come with a new 50MP OV50H sensor. The regular iQOO 12 will have the same main sensor, but it will skip the periscope sensor.
When will the Vivo X100 series arrive?
The Vivo X100 series will be launched by the end of 2023, shortly after the release of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and Dimensity 9300. The devices will hit the Chinese market first, and should be available globally by Q1 2024. Keeping in mind the specs and focus on the camera We might be witnessing the debut of the best smartphones of the Vivo X series.
