Vivo X200 Series Specifications

Vivo X200 sports a 6.67-inch 10-bit OLED LTPS quad-curved screen with Zeiss Natural Colour support. It gets high-frequency PWM dimming for flicker reduction, HDR 10+, and a peak brightness of 4,500 nits. For optics, it comes equipped with a triple rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary camera, a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 telephoto sensor, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide shooter.

Backing the smartphone is a 5,800mAh BlueVolt battery with support for 90W wired charging.

The Vivo X200 Pro has a screen similar to the standard model, except for a few changes. It is an LTPO panel with a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz. The display on this model also has slimmer bezels, at 1.63mm. Meanwhile, the new X200 Pro Mini packs a more compact 6.31-inch flat display. Both Pro models in Vivo’s X200 lineup are equipped with triple rear camera units comprising a new 50-megapixel Sony LYT-818 camera and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide angle lens. However, there are slight changes to the telephoto camera. While the Pro model gets a new 200-megapixel Zeiss APO telephoto camera, the X200 Pro Mini has a 50-megapixel sensor.

The camera modules on the Pro models are supported by Vivo’s V3+ imaging chip that was previously seen on the X100 Ultra. It enables features such as 4K HDR Cinematic Portrait video and shooting in 10-bit Log at up to 60 frames per second (fps).

Vivo X200 Pro and X200 Pro Mini are backed by 6,000mAh and 5,800mAh batteries, respectively. Both also support 90W wired charging.

All three models are powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, fabricated using a second-generation 3nm process. A Cortex-X925 performance core with a peak clock speed of 3.6GHz headlines it. The smartphones run on Vivo’s new Origin OS 5, which was introduced recently. It brings AI features such as the company’s own version of Circle to Search — a visual lookup tool that allows users to highlight a part of the screen and enable its lookup on the web. Vivo has also brought a Dynamic Island-like element dubbed Origin Island.
