Vivo is gearing up to launch its next big flagship, the X200 Ultra. Expected to launch in China sometime between mid-to-late April, the device has already made plenty of headlines thanks to a flurry of leaks and rumors.
The buzz suggests we could see Fujifilm partnership on top of its existing Zeiss collaboration, a new AI imaging chip, and even an Action Button. Here’s what we know so far.
1. Design and Display
If the leaks are accurate, the X200 Ultra will retain the familiar aesthetic of its predecessor. That means a large circular camera island on the back, housing three sensors, with an LED flash positioned outside the module in the top-right corner.
The first render shows the phone with curved edges on the display, narrow bezels, and a centered hole-punch cutout for selfies. Although the render doesn’t show it, a reliable source suggests that the X200 Ultra will feature an Action Button. It is said to be located on the lower right side of the device and is designed primarily for quick access to photography and videography functions.
On the display front, the X200 Ultra is rumored to feature a 6.8-inch 2K 8T OLED panel with a 120Hz LTPO refresh rate—a step up from the 1.5K screens on the standard and Pro models.
2. Performance
Unlike the X200 and X200 Pro, which are expected to run on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400, the Ultra model is rumored to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
Vivo followed a similar strategy last year—MediaTek for the lower models, Snapdragon for the Ultra—so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the same pattern continue.
Backing the chipset will reportedly be up to 24GB of LPDDR5X RAM and a massive 2TB of UFS 4.0 storage.
Powering all this hardware is said to be a 6,000mAh battery, with support for 100W wired charging and 50W wireless charging. That’s a bump over the X100 Ultra’s 5,500mAh battery, which topped out at 80W wired and 30W wireless charging.
3. Cameras
Cameras have long been Vivo’s forte, and the X200 Ultra looks to be no exception. The phone is rumored to feature a 50MP Sony LYT-818 primary sensor, a 200MP telephoto lens with an 85mm focal length, and a 50MP macro telephoto lens. Meanwhile, the front camera is expected to be a 50MP shooter.
On the video front, the X200 Ultra could support 4K recording at 120fps across all cameras, with seamless lens switching for a smoother filming experience. It’s also expected to debut Vivo’s next-gen custom A1 imaging chip, and bring new features like Live Photo mode and 5-axis stabilization.
Interestingly, a recent leak also suggests Vivo may also partner with Fujifilm to enhance image processing and color science. But since this is the only leak so far about a Vivo-Fujifilm partnership, it’s worth taking with a grain of salt.
Other Features
Beyond photography, the X200 Ultra is expected to bring several high-end features:
- IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance
- NFC and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
- Satellite communication support
- Bluetooth 5.4 and infrared remote control
4. Availability
The X200 Ultra is expected to launch in March or April 2025, succeeding the X100 Ultra. However, like its predecessor, it may be limited to select global markets—meaning a wider release in regions like India remains uncertain.
