Han Boxiao, product manager at Vivo Communication Technology Co., Ltd., revealed the design of the new compact flagship, the Vivo X200 Pro Mini, ahead of its launch. Today, he officially unveiled the base Vivo X200 model.
For those unfamiliar, the X200 series includes several models: the Vivo X200, X200 Pro, X200 Pro Mini, and the X200 Ultra. The company is expected to save the release of the Vivo X200 Ultra for early 2025.
Vivo X200 offers a textured finish that creates an “ocean wave” effect
The standard Vivo X200 model introduces a fresh color scheme and a textured finish on the back that creates an “ocean wave” effect. This wave-like pattern shifts its appearance based on the angle from which you view it.
Vivo has previously experimented with unique back designs. For instance, the Vivo Y100 featured “Color Changing” technology that allowed its rear panel to change color when exposed to sunlight or UV light.
Describing the new finish, the company official said (translated), “Sometimes it resembles a stormy ocean, sometimes it gleams like silk in the sun, and at other times, it sparkles like a gemstone covered in dew after the rain.”
This innovative finish is not only new for Vivo’s X series devices but also rare among most flagship phones on the market.
Design and specifications:
Upon closer inspection, the Vivo X200 seems to feature a flatter design, with less rounded edges on the back and what appear to be flat sides. In contrast, the previously revealed X200 Pro Mini has completely flat sides. The base model also sports a circular camera island housing a triple-camera setup, with the ZEISS logo prominently placed in the center. According to earlier rumors, the camera system may include a 50MP main sensor (IMX921, 1/1.56″), a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultrawide lens, and a 50MP 70mm (3x) periscope telephoto lens.
Under the hood, the Vivo X200 is powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset, supported by 16GB of RAM, and packs a 5,500mAh battery—an upgrade from the 5,000mAh battery in the Vivo X100.
Vivo has already announced that it will host a new product launch conference in Beijing on October 14.
