Vivo introduced the X200 smartphone – Dimensity 9400 chip, three 50-megapixel cameras and a 5800 mAh battery in a thin body

In addition to the X200 Pro and X200 mini smartphones, Vivo today also introduced the base version of the X200 from the new flagship series. The new product generally offers characteristics similar to older models, including new generation Zeiss optics, a powerful processor and an updated design compared to its predecessor.

The Vivo X200 smartphone is powered by the flagship Dimensity 9400 processor (3 nm, one Cortex-X925 core with a frequency of 3.63 GHz, three Cortex-X4 cores with a frequency of 3.3 GHz, four Cortex-A720 with a frequency of 2.4 GHz and GPU Immortalis-G925). The device offers 12 or 16 GB of RAM, as well as 256, 512 GB or 1 TB of permanent memory.

Like the older Pro version, the regular X200 received a 6.67-inch LTPO AMOLED screen curved at the edges with a resolution of 2800 × 1260 pixels, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, a peak brightness of 4500 cd/m2 and support for HDR10+. The manufacturer promises the display three times longer durability compared to other OLED panels and lower power consumption. The smartphone display has an optical fingerprint scanner built into it.

On the front side of the Vivo X200 there is a 32-megapixel camera with f/2.0 optics. This camera can also shoot video in 4K at 60 frames per second.

Vivo X200 is powered by a 5800 mAh battery. This is 200 mAh less than the X200 Pro, but at the same time 100 mAh more than the X200 mini, and 800 mAh more than its predecessor, the X100. The Vivo X200 smartphone only supports 90W wired charging, which is a bit disappointing since last year’s X100 supported 100W charging. The X200 measures 160.3 x 74.8 x 8 mm. Despite the more capacious battery, the smartphone turned out to be thinner than its predecessor, whose thickness was 8.5 mm.

If the X100 offered protection against water and dust according to the IP68 standard, then the X200 has increased protection to the IP69 standard – the smartphone can withstand not only immersion, but also jets of hot water. Like all models in the new series, the X200 offers wireless connectivity. Using a smartphone, you can send messages at a distance of up to 1 km, even without cellular coverage. This feature was developed by Vivo in collaboration with MediaTek and is based on Bluetooth technology. It supports SOS function as well as voice messages. It also provides more accurate information about the location of the device. To test the function, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences visited Mount Everest, where there is no cell coverage.

The smartphone runs on the Android 15 operating system with the proprietary OriginOS 5 shell (in China). The new version of the software includes the Origin Island notification line (analogous to Dynamic Island), as well as the Chinese equivalent of the Circle to Search function, which allows you to search based on visual content. Vivo also equipped the Chinese version of the device with an AI model that can take notes and write texts. We’ll find out later what the manufacturer will prepare for the international version of the smartphone.

Like the Pro version, the X200 will be available in Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Moonlight White and Sapphire Blue, which display a pattern reminiscent of sea waves when exposed to light.

Pre-orders for the new product in China are accepted starting today. Official sales of the device will begin on October 19. The company priced the version of the smartphone with a 12/256 GB memory configuration at 4,300 yuan (about $605), the version with 12/512 GB of memory is estimated at 4,700 yuan (about $663), and for the version with 16/512 GB of memory they ask for 5,000 yuan (about $706) , and for a device in the maximum configuration with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of permanent memory – 5,500 yuan (about $776). There is no information yet on when the smartphone will go on sale in other markets.
