Right on cue, vivo unleashed the X200 Pro and the X200 Pro mini with an emphasis on design, imaging and video, performance, and endurance.
The X200 Pro comes in Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Moonlight White, and Sapphire Blue, which can display the patterns of ocean waves under various lighting conditions. Vivo says it has a floating light glass, which mimics a translucent, gem-like radiance.
While the X200 Pro has a Quad Curved 6.78-inch display, the X200 Pro mini has a 6.31-inch flat display. The vivo X200 Pro’s bigger screen has even 1.63mm bezels on all sides. The panel is an LTPO unit with a variable refresh rate that ramps up to 120Hz, a maximum brightness of 4,500 nits, and Dolby Vision support.
Both Pros run the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400, co-developed with vivo. The SoC runs on MediaTek’s second-gen 3nm process and packs a Cortex-X925 super core that ramps up to 3.626GHz. On the graphics side, there’s a 12-core GPU with the promise of potent gaming.
Vivo managed to pack huge batteries in both X200 Pro phones thanks to the third-gen Silico Anode battery technology. The X200 Pro packs a 6,000mAh battery, while the X200 Pro mini has a 5,700mAh unit. Both offer 90W wired and 30W wireless charging.
The vivo X200 Pro models have a triple rear with Zeiss T* optics and vivo’s V3+ imaging chip doing the heavy lifting (the same as the vivo X100 Ultra). The main camera is the Sony LYT-818 – a 1/1.28-inch imager manufactured on a 22nm process. The lens is a custom f/1.57 unit with Optical Precision Calibration technology. It’s technically a step down from the 1-inch camera of the X100 Pro series, but vivo claims the new sensor rivals the bigger sensor in photo capture and surpasses it in video.
The real upgrade is the new 200MP Zeiss APO telephoto camera, the same impressive unit as the X100 Ultra. It’s an 85mm (3.7x) zoom with a bright f/2.67 lens. The other two cameras are a 50MP f/2.0 ultrawide and a 32MP f/2.0 selfie with autofocus.
The vivo X200 Pro ships in Sapphire Blue, Titanium Grey, Moonlight White, and Carbon Black and in 12/256GB, 16/512GB, a 16GB/1TB, and a special 16GB/1TB Satellite Edition. Prices are CNY 5,299, CNY 5,999, CNY 6,499, and CNY 6,799, respectively.
The vivo X200 Pro mini comes in Titanium Green, Light Pink, Plain White, and Simple Black. The phone ships in 12/256GB, 16/512GB, and 16GB/1TB and is CNY 4,699, CNY 5,299, and CNY 5,799, respectively.
