Per the shared manual, the Ultra will feature a 50MP selfie shooter and a triple rear camera system comprising a 200MP lens aided by two 50MP sensors. Besides, these rear cameras are also ZEISS-powered. Earlier reports have indicated that one of the 50MP sensors will act as the primary lens, and the 200MP sensor is likely projected as the periscopic lens.
Furthermore, the upcoming flagship phone will measure 9.23mm in thickness and sport a 6.78-inch WQHD+ display featuring 3200 x 1440 resolution. It is also tipped to have a curved display along the edges. Other parameters from the manual include the device's 5G connectivity and support for GPS.
The aforementioned report has also indicated that the device will have a glossier finish at the rear, equip a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 underneath, and likely sport Black, Titanium, and White color options. The storage variants are believed to be 12GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and a whopping 16GB+1TB. The larger variant has its own set of unique parameters like satellite connectivity and is also tipped to be priced at CNY 8499 (~$1,180).
Meanwhile, the X100s series from Vivo, which is launching next to the Ultra on May 13, will sport flat edges and a flat display measuring 6.7 inches. These devices are expected to be powered by MediaTek's latest Dimensity 9300 Plus chipset with higher clock speeds.
On the other hand, another reliable tipster, Ice Universe on X, has also shared some samples of 10x zoom shots captured from the upcoming Vivo X100 Ultra in a dark environment, which look stunning, to say the least. The tipster further implied that Vivo did a great job by opting for a Samsung 200MP HP9 sensor to capture those shared amazing shots.

While it turned out to be a greatly designed smartphone with incredible cameras, the successor will likely take things further as it boasts the Ultra badge.
