    Vivo X100s Set to Debut with Dimensity 9300+ & 100W Fast Charging Support: Insider Tip

    A high-end Vivo X100s smartphone model is apparently in the works. But ahead of any official announcement, a fresh leak has hinted at some of the upcoming flagship device’s key specifications. So here’s everything you need to know.

    Vivo X100s Specs Leaked

    The news arrives from known tipster Digital Chat Station who shared the new details on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging website). For those unaware, the X100 lineup is the brand’s premium grade handsets, so the X100s would arrive as the latest entry in this series. The tipster claims that the upcoming smartphone will feature MediaTek’s most powerful Dimensity chipset.

    It will reportedly be equipped with the Dimenity 9300+ SoC. Digital Chat Station further added that the X100s could also sport a flat OLED display that offers Full HD+ resolution. The Dimensity 9300+ is likely an overclocked version of the regular Dimensity 9300, which is a high-end chip that powers current-gen flagship devices. Reportedly, the upcoming handset will even offer 100W wired fast charging and be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack.

    Features and Details

    This is slightly slower than the 120W fast charging featured in the base X100 model. Digital Chat Station claims that the X100s houses a short-focus optical in-display fingerprint scanner as well as a metal frame, and a glass rear panel. It is unclear if a leather variant is planned for this model. Although, the device is rumored to arrive in four color options, which will include a white variant. The Vivo X100s is expected to debut alongside the Vivo X Fold 4 and Vivo Pad 3 series next month in China, so stick around for more updates.
