Vivo X100s

The Vivo X100s has a non-folding, standard slab form factor measuring 163.1 mm tall, 75.8 mm wide, and 7.8 mm thick, with a total volume of 96.43 cm³ and a weight of 203 g. A standout aspect of its build is the IP69 ingress protection rating, which classifies the device as fully waterproof and capable of withstanding high-pressure water exposure. It does not feature a rugged construction in the traditional sense, but the IP69 certification still reflects a meaningful level of environmental durability for everyday use.

The Vivo X100s uses an OLED/AMOLED touchscreen measuring 6.78″ with a resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels and a pixel density of 453 ppi, producing sharp and detailed imagery across its large panel. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate alongside an 8,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and is compatible with both HDR10 and HDR10+ content, though Dolby Vision is not supported. The display does not include Always-On Display functionality, branded damage-resistant glass, or a secondary screen, and there is no Dolby Vision certification on this panel.

The Vivo X100s is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 Plus, a 4 nm chipset built on an 8-thread big.LITTLE architecture with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP) and a CPU configuration of 1 x 3.4 GHz, 3 x 2.85 GHz, and 4 x 2 GHz cores, though it does not use simultaneous multithreading. The SoC integrates an Arm Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU clocked at 1300 MHz with DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2 support, and it packs 22,700 million transistors alongside integrated LTE. The device comes with 16 GB of LPDDR5 RAM running at 4800 MHz across two memory channels, a maximum memory ceiling of 24 GB, 8 MB of L2 cache, 18 MB of L3 cache, and a maximum memory bandwidth of 76.8 GB/s, all paired with 1024 GB of internal storage. Benchmark results include a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 7547, a single-core score of 2302, a 3DMark Wild Life result of 14921, a 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1782, and a PCMark Work 3.0 score of 14496.

The Vivo X100s features a triple rear camera system with sensors of 64 MP, 50 MP, and 50 MP, paired with apertures of f/2.6, f/2, and f/1.6 respectively, and backed by optical image stabilization and 3x optical zoom. Autofocus options include phase-detection, laser, and touch autofocus, with continuous autofocus also available during video recording, while manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, shutter speed, and white balance. The main camera uses a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination, supports RAW capture, burst mode, HDR, slow-motion, timelapse, and in-camera panoramas, and records video at up to 4K (2160p) at 60 fps, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported. A single LED flash is present on the rear, with no dual-tone or RGB flash option, and 3D or 360-degree photo and video recording are not available. On the front, a 32 MP single-lens camera with an f/2 aperture handles selfies, positioned as a standard cutout rather than an under-display unit, and it has no dedicated flash.

The Vivo X100s runs on Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera/microphone access management, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. App tracking can be blocked, and on-device machine learning is supported, while direct OS updates from the vendor are not available. On the customization side, the device offers theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, an extra dim mode, widget support, and customizable notifications, but focus modes and app offloading are not included. Multitasking is handled through split-screen support and Picture-in-Picture, and users also get full-page screenshots, a media picker, Live Text, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Multi-user support is present alongside a child lock, phone tracking, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and a battery health check tool, while Wi-Fi password sharing and Quick Start are not featured.

The Vivo X100s houses a 5100 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a battery level indicator built in. It supports 100W wired fast charging, allowing for quick top-ups, though wireless charging is not available on this model.

The Vivo X100s includes stereo speakers and supports both aptX and aptX HD for higher-quality Bluetooth audio transmission, though aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are not available. There is no 3.5 mm headphone jack on this device, and it does not include an FM radio.

The Vivo X100s supports 5G connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with wireless networking covering Wi-Fi 4, Wi-Fi 5, and Wi-Fi 7, alongside download speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s and upload speeds of up to 7,000 Mbit/s. Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC are both present, while the USB Type-C port operates at USB 2.0 speeds, and there is no external memory slot, HDMI output, or DLNA certification. Sensors on board include a fingerprint scanner, gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, GPS with Galileo support, and an infrared sensor, though there is no barometer, heart rate monitor, ANT+ support, or any form of motion or optical tracking. Security biometrics are limited to the fingerprint scanner, as 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not included, and the device does not come with a stylus, built-in projector, crash detection, or emergency SOS via satellite.

The Vivo X100s includes a video light for use during video recording, while its display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
