The vivo X100s Pro is a high-performance premium flagship designed to deliver professional-grade photography and lightning-fast speeds without crossing into ultra-expensive pricing territory. Starting at roughly ZAR 12,000, it offers immense value for South African consumers looking for a top-tier camera phone that can comfortably go toe-to-toe with the market’s most expensive devices.

Pricing will vary across different regions in South Africa based on individual retailer markups, exclusive online deals, or cellular network contract packages. You can search for availability at popular retail chains, department stores, and mobile outlets, including Takealot, HiFi Corp, Cellucity, Makro, Foschini, Game, PEP, Ackermans, and through network carriers like MTN.

What Makes It Stand Out?

Upgraded MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ Processor: The “s” in X100s Pro stands for a mid-cycle refresh, bringing in the blazing-fast Dimensity 9300+ chipset. This processor uses an “All-Big-Core” architecture, giving it incredible raw muscle for heavy multi-tasking, high-end 4K video rendering, and maximum-graphics mobile gaming.
The Zeiss 50MP 1-Inch Main Camera: The heart of this phone is its massive 50MP main camera featuring a Sony 1-inch type sensor. Because the sensor is physically huge, it pulls in significantly more light than standard phones, producing natural background blur (bokeh) and unmatched clarity in low-light or nighttime settings.
Zeiss APO Floating Telephoto Lens: The phone features a specialized 50MP periscope zoom lens certified with APO standards (which minimizes color fringing and distortion). The “floating” lens design allows it to shift internally, meaning it doubles as a phenomenal macro camera for extreme close-ups alongside its crisp 3x optical and 100x digital zoom.
Custom vivo V3 Imaging Chip: To take the pressure off the main processor, vivo includes its dedicated V3 co-processor. This custom chip runs advanced AI algorithms to handle complex tasks like 4K Cinematic Portrait videos, letting you change the focus smoothly after the video is already recorded.
Ultra-Bright 1.5K Eye-Care Display: The front features a stunning, slightly curved AMOLED panel with a fluid 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 3,000 nits—making it perfectly legible even under harsh, direct midday sunlight.

Key Everyday Capabilities

Flagship Reliability: While the camera system grabs the headlines, vivo has packed the X100s Pro with robust daily essentials to ensure a smooth, worry-free user experience.

Blazing Fast Charging: It features a large 5,400 mAh battery that easily survives a full day of heavy shooting. When you do run low, it supports incredible 100W wired fast charging (getting you to 50% in just over 10 minutes) and 50W wireless charging.
Zeiss T Lens Coating:* Every single rear lens is treated with an anti-reflective coating to eliminate annoying glare, reflections, and ghosting artifacts when you are taking photos near bright streetlights or the sun.
Full Weather Protection: With an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, the phone can survive accidental drops into water or heavy rainstorms while you are out capturing moments.
