Vivo X100 Ultra Launch Delayed to May, Tipster Claims
Vivo is gearing up for a launch event in China this month, showcasing
its latest foldable smartphones, the
Vivo X Fold 3 series, and the
Vivo Pad 3 tablets. While enthusiasts eagerly awaited the unveiling of the highly anticipated
Vivo X100 Ultra
alongside these devices, recent reports suggested a potential delay until late
April. However, a new leak from industry insider Digital Chat Station
indicates a further postponement, pushing the phone's arrival back to May or
even later.
Powerful Camera System Still Expected:
Despite the delay, the Vivo X100 Ultra is still expected to boast the most
impressive camera system ever seen on an Android phone. Leaks suggest a
50-megapixel LYT-900 main sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) as the
centerpiece, accompanied by a staggering 200-megapixel periscope telephoto
lens capable of up to 200x digital zoom. Additional rumors hint at a
50-megapixel IMX598 ultra-wide lens and an IMX758 telephoto camera to complete
the versatile setup. The exact reason behind the reported delay remains
unclear.
Unveiling the "Ultra":
While recent leaks have referred to the device as the Vivo X100 Ultra,
official confirmation from Vivo regarding the name is still pending. The
existing Vivo X100 and X100 Pro models come equipped with the Dimensity 9300
chipset, while the X100 Ultra is expected to take a significant leap forward
with the incorporation of the powerful Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chip.
Vivo X100s on the Horizon:
In related news, Vivo is also rumored to be developing the Vivo X100s,
featuring a flat display, the innovative Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset, and
impressive 120W fast charging support. Speculations suggest a possible
simultaneous launch of the X100s alongside the X100 Ultra.
In Summary:
The launch of the Vivo X100 Ultra, initially anticipated for March, has been
reportedly pushed back to May or later. Despite the delay, the phone is still
expected to offer a groundbreaking camera system and a significant performance
boost compared to its predecessors. Stay tuned for further updates and
official confirmation from Vivo regarding the X100 Ultra and its potential
launch date.
