‘Ultra’ flagship from Vivo to arrive later than expected

Vivo is planning to announce its ‘Ultra’ flagship this year, but it will arrive a bit later than expected. Well, that’s at least according to a new report that surfaced. The device in question is the Vivo X100 Ultra, and it’s said to launch in May.

An ‘Ultra’ flagship from Vivo is coming later than expected

Reports until now indicated that the phone will launch in April, in China. Now, one of China’s best-known tipsters, Digital Chat Station, says that the phone has been delayed to May. He did not share an exact launch date, however.

The Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro arrived in mid-November. The ‘Pro’ model is already a true flagship, so the changes that Vivo can make with the ‘Ultra’ are quite limited. The company does plan to offer an upgraded camera setup, based on rumors, though.

The phone is expected to include the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, unlike its ‘Pro’ sibling. The Vivo X100 Pro comes with the MediaTek Dimensity 9300 chip. The device will likely offer plenty of RAM and storage, and Vivo will utilize LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.0 flash storage.

The device will include 100W charging, and an even better camera setup than the ‘Pro’ model

Samsung’s E7 AMOLED display is expected here, a QHD+ panel. That will likely be a 6.7 or a 6.8-inch display, and chances are it will be curved. A 5,000mAh battery was also mentioned in rumors, and the same goes for 100W wired and 50W wireless charging. The phone will include a charger too, by the way.

Now, in regards to the cameras. A quad camera setup is expected with four 50-megapixel units. For comparison’s sake, the Vivo X100 Pro includes three 50-megapixel cameras on the back.

The main camera on the phone is said to be the Sony LYT-900 unit. That is the same camera the OPPO Find X7 Ultra is using for its main shooter. We’re also expecting to see two periscope telephoto cameras and an ultrawide unit on the back.
