Vivo is planning some major camera improvements with its next flagship. The next Vivo flagship, likely called the Vivo X100 Pro+, will support variable aperture, and feature a 200MP telephoto camera.
The upcoming Vivo flagship will offer variable aperture & 200MP telephoto camera
The Vivo X90 Pro offered great camera performance, as did the Vivo X90 Pro+. Well, VIvo is looking to up the ante. Neither of those two phones offered variable aperture, nor did it have a 200MP telephoto camera, not even close.
They did have a 1-inch camera sensor, and chances are the Vivo X100 Pro+ will too. Variable aperture will only make that sensor more useful, as Xiaomi showed us with the Xiaomi 13 Ultra. Let’s hope that Vivo will do things differently, though.
The Xiaomi 13 Ultra has a two-stop variable aperture, while Huawei offers far more on its Mate 50 Pro and P60 Pro devices. Granted, Huawei did not utilize a 1-inch camera sensor, but still, it provides outstanding results. Variable aperture definitely has something to do with that.
Variable aperture can make quite a difference if implemented properly
If utilized properly, it can help provide far more balanced shots, and improve image quality in all lighting conditions. Unfortunately, we still don’t have the exact info on it, so we don’t know how many levels will Vivo offer.
The tipster also mentioned a 200MP telephoto camera, which is quite surprising. We still don’t have the details regarding that camera, but pixel binning will be the name of the game.
In addition to these two details, the tipster shared some additional specs we’ll get with the Vivo X100 Pro+. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 is said to fuel the phone, while the device will include a 6.78-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 storage will be supported, while a 50-megapixel portrait camera (Sony’s IMX758 sensor) was also mentioned. An ultrasonic fingerprint scanner will be included under the display, while the phone will be IP68 certified for water and dust resistance.
