The leak suggests that the Vivo X100 Pro Plus+ come with support for a variable aperture. This kind of tech was earlier featured by a few smartphones, however, it didn’t gain as much success in the market. Consequentially, it was discontinued and companies started launching smartphones with fixed apertures ranging from f1/.5 to f/1.8. A variable aperture allows smartphone users to adjust the main camera aperture in a manual way to control the level of light entering the camera via the sensor.

The report also stated that the Vivo X100 Pro Plus will also come with a periscope telephoto lens, enabling users to experience an enhanced zoom camera to take detailed zoomed shots, even in low light. In addition to this, the smartphone will feature a V3 image signal processor that will help in experiencing better photography and graphics.

Further, an ultra-wide free-form surface lens will enable the X100 Pro Plus 5G users to take wider and clearer shots like for clicking wide landscapes or large group photos. The tipster claims a portrait micro-cloud platform as yet another feature of the smartphone. As per him, this platform uses an advanced algorithm to create stunning portrait shots with exceptional detail and clarity.

More details regarding the Vivo X100 series should be revealed soon, so stick around.
