Premium Design
The moment you look at the Vivo X100 Ultra, it gives off strong premium vibes. Sure, the ₹95,000 price tag can be shocking, but the feel of the phone is nothing short of flagship-level. It comes with a metal frame, glass on both front and back, and Gorilla Glass Armor protection. The display is curved on all sides, so when you hold it, it feels like you’re holding some futuristic machine.
Both Cosmos Black and Titanium Grey color options look classy. And the camera module? It shines so brightly that people can tell from a distance this is a camera-focused phone. The curved edges near the camera module provide a natural grip, giving it a solid and high-end flagship feel in the hand.

Curved Display
For the first time in the X series, Vivo has introduced a fully curved display — curved on all sides. It features a 6.78-inch LTPO Super AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate. And man, the display is silky smooth and delivers full-on flagship vibes. With a peak brightness of 4500 nits, visibility under sunlight is no issue at all.
The colors are vivid, the contrast is deep, and watching HDR content is a treat. Thanks to stereo speakers, the sound quality is also top-tier — good enough to rival even iPhones. Watching videos on this phone is an absolute delight.

Performance
Inside the Vivo X100 Ultra is the second-generation 3nm Dimensity 9400 chip. Bro, this chipset delivers laptop-level performance. The Antutu score is around 2.5–2.6 million, and the Geekbench multi-core score nearly touches laptop standards.
RAM management, app switching, gaming — everything is lightning fast. With 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, you won’t face any performance bottlenecks. Even in the Wild Life stress test, it showed 67% stability, which means heat handling is excellent. Overall, the performance is insane. Give it any task — the phone doesn’t break a sweat.
Camera
When it comes to the camera, this phone leaves everyone else behind. It features a 200MP periscope telephoto camera with 3.7x optical zoom. The zoom capability goes up to 100x, and the photo quality even beats iPhone and Samsung’s ultra models.
Whether it’s normal shots or portraits, the background blur looks so natural it’ll remind you of a DSLR. The portraits look creamy and professional. The ultra-wide and main sensors are both 50MP, and the front camera is so powerful it even outperforms Samsung’s premium phones in selfies and video calls.
Thanks to AI photo enhancements and natural skin tones, you won’t even need to edit pictures before posting them on Instagram. That’s how good it is.
Battery Life
This phone packs a 6000mAh semi-solid state battery. This is next-gen battery tech — safer and more energy-dense. In simple terms, more capacity in the same size — and yes, it performs accordingly.
I tested it myself — the phone lasted three full days without a charge. You can easily get 13+ hours of screen-on time. That’s insane. It also supports 90W wired and 30W wireless fast charging, so charging is super quick too.
Software & Features
The Vivo X100 Ultra runs on Funtouch OS 15, based on the latest Android version. It has become much cleaner and more stable than before. Plus, you get a 5-year security update promise. There’s a bit of bloatware (like the browser app and V-App store), but nothing too major.
AI features like photo enhancer, battery optimizer, and gesture controls are also included. The IR blaster, fast fingerprint scanner, and face unlock all work flawlessly and instantly.
Connectivity & Protection
Vivo X100 is fully waterproof and dustproof with IP68 and IP69 ratings. 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth — everything works perfectly. The IR blaster is smartly placed near the camera module for easy use.
Minor Bug
I did find a small bug related to the display refresh rate — sometimes while scrolling, it randomly drops from 120Hz to 90Hz. This seems like a software-level issue and can likely be fixed with an update. Interestingly, the non-Pro variant doesn’t have this bug, so there’s a good chance it’ll be resolved soon.

If you’re a camera enthusiast or someone looking for a phone that lasts three days, runs lightning fast, and looks premium, then bro, this phone is made for you.
And yes, the price is ₹95,000 — but with offers at offline stores, you can get it for around ₹85,000–₹83,000. So, if you’re searching for an all-rounder flagship, the Vivo X100 Ultra is definitely worth it.
