Vivo X100 Pro review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Vivo X100 Pro is Vivo's 2023 imaging flagship: a 6.78-inch OLED at 3,000 nits, the MediaTek Dimensity 9300, a triple 50 MP Zeiss camera with a periscope telephoto, and a 5,400 mAh battery with 100 W charging. It launched around $800, and the 16/512 GB configuration now trades used for about $562 — though with three-year support from 2023, its update runway is essentially spent.

Display and design

The 6.78-inch OLED pairs a 3,000-nit peak with 120 Hz, scoring 91/100 on our screen-quality axis. At 225 g with a large circular camera housing and a compactness score of 66/100, it is a statement camera phone; protection is IP68.

Performance

The Dimensity 9300 was the efficiency surprise of 2023, and our gaming score of 60/100 still reads as capable sustained 3D performance today. Everyday speed remains fully competitive. Software is the deadline: with support exhausted, security updates are the practical limit on how long the platform stays sensible.

Camera

The Zeiss-tuned triple 50 MP system — stabilised main, ultrawide, periscope telephoto — shoots to 8K at 30 fps, and our camera score of 60/100 tops the catalog. Vivo's 2023 flagship was the first with the one-inch-class sensor positioning that made the line famous, and its portrait and night output still hold up.

Battery and charging

The 5,400 mAh battery scores 48/100 on our battery-life axis, with 100 W wired charging at 80/100 — half-hour full charges that remain competitive with 2026 hardware.

Verdict

The X100 Pro at around $562 used is a camera-first buy for photographers comfortable owning hardware outside its update window — the imaging output justifies itself; the platform maths do not. For a comparable camera with more life ahead, the X100s Pro extends the runway marginally, and the X200 Pro meaningfully.
