It's mid-November 2023, and the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, a strong contender, is here.

This is the first phone to be equipped with the Dimensity 9300, the vivo X100. How does it perform compared to the previous generation, let's take a look.

First of all, let's look at the exterior part, everyone should have seen the real machine picture, how do you evaluate the design of this generation?

To be honest, it's hard to comment, the color of this one in my hand is "Sunset Orange", this color + plain leather material, the first time I thought of the "journey" on the X80. It just so happens that we also have an X80 in our studio, and when we compare the two, it still feels very different. On the front, it is still a hyperboloid design, which is also the standard face of vivo's flagship.

The middle frame is not made to the same color design as the X80, but has been changed to a light gold high-gloss aluminum alloy middle frame. Coupled with the addition of dense water wave texture to the plain leather back cover this time, to give a pertinent evaluation, I prefer the white moonlight color, this orange is not quite like what I should buy at my age.

After talking about the back cover, it is natural to shift your eyes to the camera. The good news, the vivo X series has also become a centered Oreo, and the bad news: it inherits the previous asymmetrical design.

This time, the official call it the moon ring cloud step design, the edging around the camera is made of stainless steel, and at the same time cut into the shape of the "waning moon", so that it looks like it is centered but not completely centered.

Similarly, the protrusion of the camera has also been made with a "sunline" scale, and the delicacy of the whole machine is added to one more point. The above is the appearance of the X100, out of ten points, how do you rate the X100?

Maybe this time it will only score a 7, because the X100 is clearly designed to compromise some elements for the sake of powerful hardware, commonly known as "violent aesthetics".

In terms of performance, the MediaTek 9300 falls on the mass production machine, whether it still has the super performance of the previous engineering machine, whether it is slightly weaker than the 8 Gen 3, or the same level or even higher than the 8 Gen 3, we have also done some tests.

Antutu scored 219W at 26 degrees room temperature, Geekbench 5 single-core 1651 multi-core 7049, Geekbench 6 single-core 2243 multi-core 7423, and 3DMark Wild Life Extreme scored 4901 points. Compared to the previous 8 Gen 3, the CPU performance is leading, and the GPU is not much different from the 8 Gen 3. Of course, theory is theory, and we still have to fall to the game.

The room temperature is 26 degrees, turn on the phone's Boost mode, and the brightness is fixed at 60%. Genshin Impact Sumeru City runs for half an hour, consumes 10% of power, has a maximum temperature of 40.6°, an average frame rate of 59.4 frames, and consumes 4.9W, and Honor of Kings Ultra HD has 120 frames, and has an average frame rate of 8% and a maximum temperature of 35°, an average frame rate of 119.9, and a power consumption of 3.2W, and Peace Elite HD has 90 frames, consumes 10% of power in half an hour, and has a maximum temperature of 35°, an average frame rate of 89.5, and a power consumption of 3.2W.

We also compared it with the iQOO 12 we tested before, and in the case of similar frame rate performance, the power consumption of the 9300 will be lower than that of the 8 Gen 3, especially in the Genshin Impact running map part, we ran a maximum temperature of 41° and 4.9W performance with a plain leather body. To be honest, I can't believe it, Genshin Impact has suddenly become a medium-load game, and Fa Ge seems to have really become.

On the whole, the 9300's performance is better than that of the 8 Gen 3, and conservatively speaking, at least it is in the middle of the 8 Gen 3, and it is completely fine as the top flagship chip of Android in 2024. Fa Ge's performance, I now hope that major manufacturers will adopt this chip more, next year's Android market, the two gods U escort, quite the PC side of Intel and AMD.

Next, let's talk about the imaging part, since the X100 is moving towards the appearance of an imaging flagship, its camera specifications must be no different. Three cameras,The ultra-wide angle has been upgraded to a 5000W pixel JN1 sensor;The main camera has been replaced with a new VCS IMX920,Compared with the previous generation, the main change is that the aperture has been increased from f/1.75 to f/1.57,The amount of light will be improved;Telephoto is the focus of this upgrade,vivo has given the X100 standard version a 3x periscope,It is the same OV64B sensor as X90 Pro+,It can be said that the flagship image has been decentralized。 And this time the X100 has a larger telephoto aperture, upgraded from f/3.5 to f/2.57 of the X90 Pro+, which can be said to be not only the flagship decentralization, but also the following.

Is the main theme of this year's new machine wave "more powerful standard version"? Recently, several new machines, the standard version of the image can be called a leapfrog upgrade, not only the telephoto of all employees, but even a lot of high-quality periscope, which is really unimaginable in the mobile phone market in the first two years.

However,Standard version,There are still some castrations,For example, on vivo's self-developed chip,This time X100 only has V2,If you want the latest V3, you still have to add money,I don't know if you can accept this knife method,Maybe periscope telephoto is indeed a bit expensive,Long live understanding。

Finally, there are other details of upgrades, the battery has been increased from 4810 mAh to 5000 mAh in the previous generation, and it also supports 120W wired fast charging, but there is still no wireless charging;

Waterproof,X100 Standard Edition supportIP68 waterproof and dustproof,A few days ago, iQOO 12 Pro also supportedIP68 waterproof and dustproof,Combined,vivo in the popularization of waterproof and dustproof,And Xiaomi thought together,In this case,Whoever doesn't popularize IP68 will be embarrassed...

The above is the first box of the X100 standard version, I don't know what everyone thinks of this phone.

When I got the X100, an idea slowly emerged, the mobile phone market in 2024, the price of 3999, is likely to become the Colosseum for major manufacturers to fight, and even the top flagship of 5999 is far less fierce than here.

So far, two manufacturers have chosen to greatly enhance their standard version, so please see if other manufacturers will enter the market with the same attitude in the future.
