Here is how the Vivo X100 Pro fared in the test.

Vivo X100 Pro Camera: Is it Worth the Hype?

The Vivo X100 Pro performed very well in the DXOMARK Camera tests awarding it the Gold tier, thanks to the excellent light collection capabilities of the large 1/0.98″ Sony IMX 989 sensor in the main camera module. The same sensor was already used on the predecessor X90 Pro and in other ultra-premium segment models, including the Xiaomi 13 Ultra, and the sensor contributes significantly to the Vivo’s very good texture and noise results across all light levels, down to low light. The Vivo X100 Pro has a primary camera with a 50MP 1/0.98″ sensor, f/1.75-aperture lens, Dual Pixel PDAF, and OIS; an ultra-wide camera with a 50MP, 1/2.76″ sensor, 15mm equivalent f/2.0-aperture lens, and AF; and a telephoto camera with a 50MP 1/2″ sensor, 100mm equivalent f/2.5-aperture lens, AF, and OIS. The device scored 116 in photo, 119 in bokeh, 119 in preview, 118 in zoom, and 119 in video, for an overall score of 86. The Vivo X100 Pro is capable of recording 8K, 4K at 60/30fps, and 1080p at 60/30fps videos.
