Launched in November last year, the vivo X100 series received a lot of positive feedback from users as soon as it went on sale, thanks to the strong performance of the Tenguet 9300 and excellent image performance. In many reviews, there were many calls for a “straight screen”, and it seems that vivo has also seen this suggestion, so today, six months later, it has launched the vivo X100s. the upgrade of the “s” is not only a straight screen, but also the performance of the performance of the vivo X100s can also make your eyes bright, the specific performance of the vivo X100s, follow the article to find out more about.
Straight screen can also show the thin and light
I'm sure many of you are waiting for the Vivo X100s in large part because of the straight screen, which is less prone to accidental touches than a curved screen and easier to apply a film to. Compared to the iQOO 12, which also has a straight screen, the vivo X100s is 7.8mm thicker than the iQOO 12, which weighs in at around 203g. This, coupled with the minimalist design of the body, makes it visually thinner and lighter.
The vivo X100s continues the classic large round lens module, the classic day ring decorative circle from the X100's right protruding shifted to the bottom of the OCD friends finally do not have to be entangled; brushed process also makes the decorative circle more difficult to stain fingerprints, to give a good comment. The flash in the upper right corner, the three-quote poem under DECO, and the vivo logo at the bottom of the body have all been retained, continuing the minimalist style.
The vivo X100s retains the 'White Moonlight' and 'Deep Sky Gray' (or 'Cinnabar Black' in the case of the X100) color schemes, as well as two others in 'Titanium' and the main color, 'Green Cloud'. Personally, I think the “Star Blue” color scheme on the X100 is also very nice, but it's a shame it wasn't carried over.
The Titanium Vivo X100s in our hands is not as fresh and natural as the main color, Green Cloud, but it does a good job of restoring the pure color of titanium, and is simple and elegant at the same time. The curvature of the metal frame and the edges of the back panel is just right, and it still feels very good in the hand.
The front of the vivo X100s is equipped with an ultra-clear original color eye-protecting screen with a resolution of 2800x1260; it adopts 8T LTPO back panel technology and supports 1-120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The local peak brightness of this screen can reach 3000nit, watching HDR video will have a more shocking viewing effect.
The vivo X100s screen, customized by the Tengui chip, not only supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming for daily scenes, but also turns on the intelligent eye protection mode, which filters out harmful blue light and ensures that the colors on the screen are truly reproduced, and does not appear to have the overall warmth of the ordinary eye protection mode. With the new 360˚ photosensitive sensor, turning on the Adaptive Color Temperature Adjustment will provide a color temperature that better fits the environment and is more comfortable to look at.
To briefly summarize the appearance of the Vivo X100s: the body is thinner and lighter while adopting a straight-screen design; the back continues the minimalist design of the X100, making the “titanium color” appear low-key and calm; the ultra-clear eye-protecting screen on the front brings more stunning visual effects, and the overall texture of the Vivo X100s seems to be very good.
Chip evolution, performance jumps again
The vivo X100s is equipped with the new Tengui 9300+ flagship chip, which adopts TSMC's 4nm process, and also has a full large-core architecture of four Cortex-X4 supercores and four A720 cores. x4 supercore's maximum main frequency has been increased to 3.4GHz, which can increase the peak performance by 40% and at the same time, reduce the power consumption by 33%, and the actual test of AnTuTuTu can easily run on the 220W+ score. The actual test of AnTuTu can easily run on 220W+ points.
Let's go straight to the gaming data to demonstrate the power of the Tenguet 9300+. In a room temperature of 25 degrees Celsius, the picture quality of the original God was adjusted to very high, the frame rate was 60 frames, and the average frame rate of half an hour's run in Sumeru City was 58.7 frames. Most importantly, the Vivo X100s consumed an average of only 4.8W in the half hour of “ProtoGods” testing, and the highest temperature on the front of the device at the end of the test was only 39.3 degrees, which is more than I expected.
Looking back at the more GPU-loaded Crackdown - Star Vault Railroad, the previous X100 with the Tenguiz 9300 had an average frame rate of 47.7 fps for the half hour Golden Hour, and after 5 minutes it was already running at 60 fps with a power consumption of 6.9W, but the vivo X100s was able to achieve an average of 53.7 fps under the same image quality with a power consumption of 6.5 W. With this comparison, you can see that the Tenguiz 9300 is a very good choice for the X100s. comparison, you can see how good the Tenguiz 9300+ is.

As you can see, although the CPU performance of the Tenguet 9300+ has not increased much, the GPU has increased quite a lot, and the performance is stronger while the power consumption has been reduced. Based on this performance, the Tenguet 9300+ on the Vivo X100s is indeed the strongest chip in the current Android camp.
Upgraded experience goes beyond performance
As vivo's flagship series, the X100s has improved the experience in every aspect. First, let's talk about imaging. The vivo X100s innovatively adds the self-developed “Blueprint Imaging”, which delivers better imaging capabilities through 100% self-developed core algorithms, combined with the Blueprint Sensor technology and Blueprint Imaging Chip V2.
The vivo X100s inherits the same set of imaging hardware configuration of the X100, with the IMX920 main camera, JN1 ultra wide-angle lens and OV64B occult telephoto lens. From the sample photos, although the hardware configuration is the same, but the addition of self-developed “blueprint image” vivo X100s will shoot more color saturation than the X100.

Portraits have always been Vivo's specialty, and the X100s is no exception. With a 32-megapixel lens on the front, the selfie performance is still very good, and the skin color looks fair and bright with the beauty enhancement.

This time, the Vivo X100s also added a new feature: the “Humanistic Street Camera”, which can be quickly opened by swiping up on the camera interface. With a new UI interface, the “Humanity Street Camera” allows you to quickly set the shutter speed, white balance, bokeh level and so on, and the Basic button in the upper right corner can save the parameters for easy one-click application in the future.

In addition to texture, sharp and natural, the color mode selection of the Humanistic Street Photography Camera also adds black and white color, which brings more storytelling expression with richer grayscale and higher tolerance.

It can be said that the Humanities Street Camera Mode is a combination of the normal shooting modes and portrait modes, which not only allows you to adjust the color style, but also turns on the bokeh effect of the portrait modes, and even the Zeiss bokeh spot can be picked in the settings. I have to say that this mode is still very playable, helping you to shoot your favorite style.
While we were exploring how to play with the humanities street photography camera, the phone prompted a low battery warning, it seems that frequent shooters still need to pay attention to battery life, after all, the camera will consume more power than the game. vivo X100s equipped with an equivalent 5100mAh battery, the actual test of half an hour of 1080P video playback consumes 4% of the power, half an hour of microblogging browsing consumes 4% of the power, half an hour of the original god of 13%. The X100s has a 5100mAh equivalent battery. Although the battery capacity is 100mAh more than that of the X100, the battery life performance does not seem to be significantly improved.
Charging is quite a surprise. The Vivo X100s supports 100W dual-cell flash charging, but the box comes with a 120W charging head, perhaps because of the new battery technology? The X100s was charged to 55% capacity in 10 minutes, and finally to 100% in 28 minutes and 30 seconds, which is a great relief for battery life anxiety.
Summing up
The vivo X100s has a 7.8mm thin body and continues the minimalist design language, with both a sense of view and feel; the performance is equipped with the new Tenguet 9300+ chip, with stronger CPU performance and greatly improved GPU graphics processing performance, it can easily conquer large games such as the original God; and the new “humanities street camera” on the image makes the shooting much more playable.
Overall, although the Vivo X100s is not much improved compared to the X100, but whether it's the Tenguiz 9300+ or the “Humanistic Street Camera”, every upgrade point is clearly perceived; the addition of the straight screen not only doesn't make the Vivo X100s any thicker, but at 7.8mm thick it also gives you a more comfortable feel in your hand. If you are still waiting for a flagship with a straight screen, the Vivo X100s will give you more surprises.
