Vivo is gearing up to unveil its next generation of flagship smartphones soon. The Vivo X200 series is expected to bring cutting edge tech for improvements in performance, photography, and more. So here’s a detailed roundup of everything you can expect from the upcoming premium phones.

Design & Display

Vivo unveiled the X100 series with a design that blends glass with metal for a premium build. So we can expect the Vivo X200 lineup to offer a similar body as well. Leaked schematics have also offered us an idea of its design. The Vivo X200 can be seen with a massive circular camera island on the rear, similar to its predecessor.

Recently, even the front design was revealed in fresh renders which showcased ultra slim bezels on all four sides and a center aligned punch hole cutout. Two series are expected to feature an IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance.

It is still unclear how many models Vivo will launch in the X200 lineup. It is expected to launch the X200, X200 Pro, and X200 Ultra. However, the Vivo X200 Ultra could be announced later on. So for now, let’s stick to the base and Pro variants. Vivo’s base X200 is expected to be a compact flagship phone like the Xiaomi 14.

It will sport a 6.3-inch flat OLED panel with a 1.5K resolution. We can also expect HDR and high refresh rate. Meanwhile, the the Vivo X200 Pro will feature a tall 6.78-inch OLED panel, which may offer a higher 2K resolution, high refresh rate, and other top notch features. The X200 was rumored to have an optical fingerprint scanner, while the X200 Pro may offer an ultra sonic sensor.

Hardware

Vivo is rumored to launch the X200 and X200 Pro with MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9400 SoC. Meaning, we can expect top notch performance from these devices. On the other hand, the Vivo X200 Ultra could arrive with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. A GeekBench listing showcased the synthetic benchmark performance of the Pro model with the Dimensity 9400 along with 16GB of RAM.

The vanilla model may be powered by a sizeable 5,500 or 5,600mAh battery pack, while the Pro could pack a larger 5,800mAh cell. The lineup might offer 90W wired fast charging as well as wireless fast charging. The Vivo X200 series is confirmed to run on the Android 15 OS based Origin OS5 custom skin out of the box.

Camera

Talking about the base model first, Digital Chat Station claimed that the Vivo X200 will pack a triple camera setup. This will consist of a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 primary camera with an f/1.57 aperture and a 1/1.56-inch camera sensor size. It is coupled with a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultra wide lens and a 50-megapixel Sony IMX882 (or LYT-600) periscope telephoto camera with an f/2.57 aperture and 70mm focal length. The leak adds that it will offer a 10x fusion super resolution algorithm (possible 10x hybrid zoom).

The X200 Pro is also rumored to have a triple camera setup with a similar senors, but its periscope telephoto shooter may be a 200-megapixel sensor with even more advanced zoom capabilities. Vivo’s X200 series will likely pack a custom sensor, imaging chip, and a chipset with Blue Crystal technology as well. Camera samples of the X200 surfaced online, which you can check out above.
