Vivo will launch three new flagships on October 14 in China — the Vivo X200, X200 Pro mini, and X200 Pro. It was previously revealed that the new compact flagship packs a massive 5700 mAh battery. Now, the latest leak claims that the standard vivo X200 will feature a 5800 mAh battery, slightly larger than its compact counterpart.
Following the new trend, vivo is also using the silicon anode battery tech, which packs more capacity within a given volume.
2024 may finally offer compact phones with good battery life
In comparison, the Xiaomi 15 and Oppo Find X8 offer battery capacities of 5400 mAh and 5700 mAh, respectively.
Notably, all of the devices mentioned above adopt a compact form factor. According to the tipster, the Xiaomi 15, Oppo Find X8, and the vivo X200 packs 6.3x-inch, 6.5x-inch, and 6.6x-inch displays respectively. This is surprising because most of the compact flagships of the past have struggled to meet their sales targets, and companies gradually shifted to larger models.
Another major reason behind opting for a large form factor could be the battery life. Even last year’s models such as the 6.78 inch Oppo Find X7 only managed to pack a 5000 mAh battery while weighing over 200 grams. The adoption of the new silicon anode material in the battery seems to fix multiple problems – poor or below-average battery life, gigantic size, and weight.
Significant in context, Oppo has already confirmed that the Find X8 weighs less than 200 grams despite packing a much larger battery. According to a previous leak, the phone measures 7mm thick and weighs 190 grams only. On the other hand, the Pro and Ultra models will likely offer significantly longer battery life with over 6000 mAh capacity.
The leaker also mentioned that both the flagships from vivo and Xiaomi pack 90W fast wired charging, while the Find X8 offers slightly slower 80W charging. Unfortunately, there’s no information available about the dimensions and weight of the vivo X200 yet.
