Performance, Build Quality, and Handling
Vivo X100 Ultra’s design – A classy sub-flagship w/ shiny glass back and metal frame It comes in two classy color variants — Cosmic Black and Stellar Silver. The device has a premium feel while in hand, but its big size and 225g weight may feel slight bulky for hands of some people.
It also has premium build quality, plus an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. The ergonomic design with curved edges and slim bezels makes it comfortable to hold, even though it is large in size. Buttons are well placed and you find the under-display fingerprint sensor in place.
Display, Battery Life, and Charging Speed
The 6.81-inch AMOLED display is a thing of beauty. The screen with its 2K resolution and the 120Hz refresh rate is bright, colourful and renders smooth animations. The display delivers an immersive experience whether you’re streaming videos in 4K or gaming. The 1800 nits peak brightness is great for visibility even in direct sunlight.
The 5500mAh battery makes for an impressive battery life. It comfortably reaches through a day of heavy usage — gaming, video streaming, trying to multitask. And finally, topping it off is the 100W fast charging, which fills the cell from 0 to 100% in just 25 minutes.
Software and Performance
Vivo X100 Ultra: Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 An absolute monster of a processor. From multitasking to high-end gaming, it handles it all with aplomb. The Adreno GPU guarantees consistent graphics rendering, allowing it to be an ideal device for mobile gaming.
On the software side of things, the phone runs on Funtouch OS 14 over Android 14. The UI is also feature-rich with heaps of customizability, but if you are not a fan of pre-installed bloatware, then it could be a small bummer. But performance is buttery smooth overall with the software giving you plenty of handy features, from advanced camera modes and system optimization tools.
Camera: Photo and Video Capabilities
The camera system of the Vivo X100 Ultra is its distinctive feature. Its 200MP main sensor produces extremely detailed photos that are generally true to life in terms of color and dynamic range. The 50MP ultra-wide camera makes it suitable for taking wide landscapes, and the 50MP periscope telephoto camera with 10x optical zoom and up to100x digital zoom can handle distant shots like a pro.
Night Mode works brilliantly in dark conditions, capturing bright, clean pictures in total darkness. Sharp and natural selfies come from the 32MP front camera, and portrait mode does a good job of background emulsification while keeping up with edge detection.
When it comes to video, the X100 Ultra shoots in 8K60fps or 4K at 60fps. The video is stable because of advanced EIS and OIS, and the colors are vibrant and close to real life. And the cinematic video mode makes your story a little more polished — ideal for creators.
