With the iPhone 16 launch kicking off the fall refresh cycle, Android manufacturers are gearing up for their own counterpunches.
OnePlus already confirmed the October launch of its Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered flagship, while the Xiaomi 15 series with the same SoC is also expected to arrive in the same month.
Now, a report by Wall Street China suggests the X200 series will land in early October as well. But unlike its rivals, Vivo will take a different chip route.
The X200 series is expected to forgo the upcoming Snapdragon for MediaTek’s challenger, the Dimensity 9400.
The leaks suggest two models in the lineup: the standard X200 and the X200 Pro. The base model is expected to come with a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a respectable 1.5K resolution.
Camera-wise, we’re looking at a 50-megapixel 22nm Sony sensor for the main module, a periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, and an ultrawide lens. It will be powered by a hefty 5,500mAh or 5,600mAh capacity and will support both wired and wireless charging.
The X200 Pro, on the other hand, is expected to come with a curved 1.5K resolution 120Hz panel. The camera setup on the back will include a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, a 50-megapixel primary sensor with a large aperture (likely the same 22nm Sony sensor), and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens.
The X200 Pro may also pack a larger 6,000mAh battery. Rumors suggest it will include water resistance (rated IP68 or IP69) and an improved X-axis motor for better haptic feedback.
On the software side, both phones will come pre-loaded with Android 15-based Origin OS. There’s not much detail on the pricing yet, even in the leaks and rumors.
