vivo unleashed the X200 Pro and the X200 Pro mini with an emphasis on design, imaging and video, performance, and endurance. The X200 Pro comes in Carbon Black, Titanium Grey, Moonlight White, and Sapphire Blue, which can display the patterns of ocean waves under various lighting conditions. Vivo says it has a floating light glass, which mimics a translucent, gem-like radiance. The X200 Pro mini's Titanium Green invokes the gentle green of nature, while the Light Pink etches the hues of cherry blossom with a metallic texture. The mini offers a frosted glass finish on the back.
Both phones are technically flatter
compared to the curvy X100 series. While the X200 Pro has a Quad Curved
6.78-inch display, the X200 Pro mini has a 6.31-inch flat display. The vivo
X200 Pro's bigger screen has even 1.63mm bezels on all sides. The panel is an
LTPO unit with a variable refresh rate that ramps up to 120Hz, a maximum
brightness of 4,500 nits, and Dolby Vision support. Both Pros run the new
MediaTek Dimensity 9400, co-developed with vivo. The SoC runs on MediaTek's
second-gen 3nm process and packs a Cortex-X925 super core that ramps up to
3.626GHz. On the graphics side, there's a 12-core GPU with the promise of
potent gaming. The vivo X200 Pro models come with vivo's new OriginOS 5 with
new AI features such as Origin Island and AI Circle to Search.
Vivo managed to pack huge batteries in
both X200 Pro phones thanks to the third-gen Silico Anode battery technology.
The X200 Pro packs a 6,000mAh battery, while the X200 Pro mini has a 5,700mAh
unit. Both offer 90W wired and 30W wireless charging.
The vivo X200 Pro models have a triple
rear with Zeiss T* optics and vivo's V3+ imaging chip doing the heavy lifting
(the same as the vivo X100 Ultra). The main camera on both is the Sony LYT-818
- a 1/1.28-inch imager manufactured on a 22nm process. The lens is a custom
f/1.57 unit with Optical Precision Calibration technology. It's technically a
step down from the 1-inch camera of the X100 Pro series, but vivo claims the
new sensor rivals the bigger sensor in photo capture and surpasses it in video.
Speaking of video, the V3+ enables 4K HDR
Cinematic Portrait video, which vivo says is industry-leading. 4K maxes out at
120fps for cinematic slow-mo, or you can shoot 4K HDR Dolby Vision up to 60fps.
And if that isn't enough, the X200 Pro phones can record 'full focal range' 4K
in 10-bit Log at up to 60fps. The real upgrade is the new 200MP Zeiss APO
telephoto camera, which is available on the X200 Pro - it's the same impressive
unit as the X100 Ultra's. It's an 85mm (3.7x) zoom with a bright f/2.67 lens.
The X200 Pro mini makes do with a less-impressive 50MP 1/1.95-inch sensor with
a 70mm f/2.6 3x zoom. The other two cameras are a 50MP f/2.0 ultrawide with
autofocus and a 32MP f/2.0 selfie.

ships on October 19. It comes in Sapphire Blue, Titanium Grey, Moonlight White,
and Carbon Black and in 12/256GB, 16/512GB, 16GB/1TB, and a special 16GB/1TB
