Introduction
The Vivo X100 Pro is one of the flagship smartphones that Uncle Spur fully reviewed; albeit, he may not get hold of this one, but this time around, he got to review the gadget. The 6.78-inch behemoth comes packing with a very powerful processor, huge battery, and an amazing camera setup. Uncle Spur has been using it as his full-time smartphone for the past week to provide you with a comprehensive review.
Design and Build Quality
The Vivo X100 Pro boasts a relatively slimline design for a flagship, complemented by curved edges.
While it may be a bit chunky due to the camera setup, the curved edges and frosted glass back add a touch of finesse.
The only one thing to note in the design: it may not be for everybody. Uncle Spur thought the phone was just a little bit wanting in sexiness. But, on the other hand, the build quality is solid, and the phone is still mint. The software on the device is a piece of Android 14 with FunTouch OS4 for a mostly simple user experience and free from bloatware. One good thing with the Vivo X100 Pro is that it comes loaded with enough accessories and has the user enjoy plenty of options for customization, ample 512GB storage, and strong security features.
Software and User Interface
The Vivo X100 Pro will come with an Android 14, supported by a FunTouch OS4. It will provide the user with most of its software being clean, free of bloatware. The device will be accompanied by lots of options for personalization, as well as huge 512GB storage with secure features. The launcher also brings with it the Google Discover feed and App Drawer customization, ranging from various wallpapers to Always-On display settings. Additionally, to keep your device safe and secure, there is an optical in-display fingerprint sensor and Face Unlock.
Storage and Security Features

On the security side, the device has an optical in-display fingerprint sensor for clammy hands and, for more biometric security, Face Unlock. The phone also receives an assured 3 years' support, where it will offer regular OS and security updates. However, its smart app control feature has been noted as aggressive, bringing about uncalled-for shutdowns of background apps. Despite that, the device offers the user a bug- and quirk-free experience, and he can comfortably enjoy continuous usage.
The Vivo X100 Pro, generally, brings home this design by offering large storage and strong security, ensuring that when a consumer will opt for a smartphone good and secured for an efficient tool, then this phone guarantees this.
Display and Multimedia Experience

The screen thus suits easy multimedia content consumption and gaming ease, being supported by a 120Hz refresh rate.
The curved edges of the display do not, however, take away from the screen responsiveness; hence, a smooth experience is guaranteed while handling the device. However, the auto-brightness can be erratic. It works when it is not required, and the opposite, up to the extent that the screen does not go as dim as it should for some people.
In addition, the design of the dual stereo speakers is just fine, with pretty sound quality, but not the volume one would expect.
However, these are very small cons in front of the Vivo X100 Pro, and the display and the media experience are so awesome that people who are fond of media consumption or gaming on smartphones would really adore it.

The only problem is heating, else unbeatable performance throughout the long gaming sessions.
When it comes to audio quality, while the stereo speaker setup may be of subpar output level, it indeed keeps up with clear quality of the audio. Add in the Bluetooth streaming for flawless performance, and there's a user's choice for that immersive audio experience. This Vivo X100 Pro has great audio performance, and with an array of game compatibility, it is the perfect model for those who seek games and multi-media experiences on your mobile device.
