Vivo’s current flagship smartphone, the X100 Pro, is one of the most advanced phones on the market. However, the company seems to working on offering something even better. Reportedly, Vivo is developing the X100 Ultra, a more advanced version of the X100 Pro, offering upgraded hardware, better specifications, and more features.

According to various reports, the X100 Ultra will feature four cameras at the rear instead of three on the X100 Pro. Interestingly, one of them will be a 200MP unit with a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 100mm (4.3x optical zoom over the primary camera). Seemingly, this is an upcoming camera sensor from Samsung with model number HP9, and it can be used as a primary as well as a secondary camera (with a telephoto or ultrawide lens).

At the moment, there’s no information on the improvements the Samsung ISOCELL HP9 offers over the latest 200MP sensor from the South Korean tech giant, the ISOCELL HP2. The company offers three more 200MP camera sensors, HPX, HP1, and HP3. Could we see the upcoming sensor on the Galaxy S25 Ultra? Well, only time will tell.
