The upcoming Vivo X200 Pro is poised to make a significant impact on the global smartphone market, with confirmed availability in Europe and a slew of advanced features. Leaked listings on the British mobile provider EE’s database have confirmed that the Vivo X200 Pro will inherit the impressive 200 MP Zeiss telephoto camera from the Vivo X100 Ultra. This camera setup includes a Samsung ISOCELL HP9 sensor with a 1/1.4-inch format, F/2.67 aperture, and an 85mm native focal length, although the main camera will feature a slightly smaller sensor compared to the previously rumored 1-inch sensor.
Innovative In-House Technologies
Vivo has announced that the X200 series will debut its in-house developed Blueprint image sensor, which utilizes VCS 3.0 technology and supports “True-TCG HDR” for enhanced HDR previews and video recording. This sensor is paired with the Blueprint Algorithm Matrix, optimized for telephoto performance with over 1 billion parameters, making it the largest visual generation model ever implemented in a Vivo smartphone. Additionally, Vivo has teased the upcoming Blueprint Imaging Chip, designed to refine AI portrait algorithms for improved low-light and backlight photography. These innovations are expected to enhance the X200 series’ photographic capabilities significantly.
Global Market Expansion
The Vivo X200 Pro’s listing on the UK phone network EE’s support website confirms its European launch, following its initial release in China later this year. This move marks Vivo’s expanding global market presence, though the US market remains out of reach for the time being. The X200 Pro’s global rollout signifies Vivo’s commitment to bringing cutting-edge technology to a wider audience.
Dimensity 9400 Powerhouse
Both the Vivo X200 Pro and Oppo Find X8 Pro are set to feature MediaTek’s powerful Dimensity 9400 chip, which is expected to excel in photography until the Dimensity 9500 arrives. The X200 Pro is anticipated to include a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, a 2K 120Hz OLED panel with micro curvature, and an in-screen fingerprint scanner. The Oppo Find X8 Pro will likely boast a quad-camera setup with two periscope telephoto cameras, a glass back, and options for up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage.
Launch Timeline and Specifications
The Vivo X200 and X200 Pro are expected to launch in October 2024, with the X200 Ultra debuting in early 2025. The X200 will be a compact flagship with a 6.4-6.5 inch flat OLED panel, while the X200 Pro will feature a larger OLED screen. Both models will support a 1.5k resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The X200 Ultra may come equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC and a 2K 120Hz OLED screen, positioning it as a top-tier device.
With the integration of advanced imaging technologies and powerful hardware, the Vivo X200 series is set to redefine smartphone photography. The global launch, including Europe, signifies Vivo’s ambition to compete in the high-end smartphone market, bringing innovative features and superior camera capabilities to users worldwide.
