Let’s discuss the usual mannequin, the so-called “vanilla” X200.

The Vivo X200 is powered by MediaTek’s newest flagship processor, the Dimensity 9400, which was just lately unveiled.

All three X200 fashions characteristic the Dimensity 9400 SoC, which is all the time a welcomed transfer (sure, I am pointing fingers at Apple proper now). SoC, or System-on-Chip, combines all or most elements of a pc or different digital system onto a single chip.

The brand new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset marks a major improve from its predecessor, the Dimensity 9300. This new chip improves general efficiency, particularly for duties like gaming and synthetic intelligence (AI).

One of many key modifications within the Dimensity 9400 is its “All Huge Core” design. Which means it makes use of solely highly effective processing cores as an alternative of blending smaller and bigger ones, which is a departure from the earlier mannequin. The Dimensity 9400 contains a high-performance core referred to as the Arm Cortex-X925 that operates at speeds over 3.62 GHz, together with three further Cortex-X4 cores and 4 Cortex-A720 cores. Consequently, it provides as much as 35% sooner efficiency for single duties and 28% sooner efficiency when dealing with a number of duties in comparison with the Dimensity 9300.

Moreover, this new chipset is manufactured utilizing a extra superior 3nm course of, which makes it not solely sooner but additionally extra energy-efficient. In easy phrases, because of this gadgets utilizing the Dimensity 9400 can do extra with out draining the battery as shortly, main to higher battery life general.

What else?

In fact, a telephone is extra than simply its chipset, nevertheless highly effective it is likely to be.

The Vivo X200 contains a steel and glass physique, with a quad-curved display screen (the show curves barely on the edges). Although the curves are minimal, giving the texture of a flat display screen, the design goals for a stability between aesthetics and practicality.

The 6.67-inch AMOLED show boasts a 2800 x 1260 decision and a 120Hz refresh fee, providing a 20:9 side ratio. The body of the telephone stays flat, whereas the again mirrors the quad-curved design of the display screen. All buttons are conveniently positioned on the appropriate aspect, and the again homes a digital camera array that comprises the telephone’s major cameras.

On the rear, the Vivo X200 features a trio of 50-megapixel cameras: the principle Zeiss-branded digital camera comes with an f/1.57 aperture and optical picture stabilization (OIS), an ultrawide digital camera with an f/2.0 aperture, and a telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and as much as 100x digital zoom. This appears fairly respectable to me, particularly the f/1.57 aperture on the principle digital camera. The decrease the “f/” quantity, the higher light-gathering capabilities. Since images is about mild, nicely, extra mild gathered is healthier.

The telephone’s battery is substantial at 5,800mAh, supporting 90W wired charging, although wi-fi charging is absent. Further options embody an optical in-display fingerprint scanner and IP68/IP69 certification for water and mud resistance. The machine additionally provides Bluetooth 5.4 connectivity.

The Vivo X200 comes pre-installed with OriginOS 5 in China, whereas the worldwide model will run on Funtouch 15 OS, based mostly on Android 15. Colour choices embody Carbon Black, Moonlight White, Sapphire Blue, and Titanium Grey.

By way of RAM and storage, choices vary from 12 GB to 16 GB of RAM, with storage capacities from 256 GB to 1 TB. Costs in China begin at CNY4,299 (roughly $606) for the 12/256 GB mannequin and go as much as CNY5,499 (roughly $776) for the 16/1 TB variant. International availability and pricing have but to be confirmed, so keep tuned!
