Reviewing the Vivo X100 Pro, a long time after its global release and I'm glad I did because the camera, gaming performance and battery life are amazing! I missed the Vivo X100 Pro when it first launched but here's my verdict vs rivals like the Samsung S24 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 series.

One of the best bits of this flagship smartphone is that Zeiss branded camera tech, which can capture fantastic portrait photos and everyday pics. Vivo's triple 50MP lens arrangement offers the usual flexibility while the X100 Pro 5G can also record up to 8K video.

Performance is one of the most interesting areas too. Mediatek's Dimensity 9300 is in charge and means gaming on Genshin Impact is a beautifully smooth experience. In my testing the Vivo X100 Pro got a bit toasty, but that didn't seem to impact the frame rate thankfully. And FunTouch's dedicated game mode is a great addition.

Battery life is also just as solid, matching the best smartphones of 2024 including the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. So overall there's very little to moan about, even if the Vivo X100 Pro is somewhat lacking as far as excitement or USPs go.
