The X100 series had a handful of members, to say the least. It had a titular and a Pro option, an X100s and X100s Pro phones, and an Ultra variant. This year Vivo has kept things simple and unveiled only three models. So far, at least. This time, they have taken a new approach and launched a “mini” offering. Let’s take a deeper look at the Vivo X200 Pro Mini in this article, and also discuss what its price in Nepal might be.
Vivo X200 Pro Mini Overview
Camera
The Vivo X200 Pro Mini focuses heavily on imaging and goes hard with triple 50MP shooters. The primary camera comes with a Zeiss T* lens coating that reduces glare as well as retains the originality of the subject’s colour.
Likewise, the telephoto snapper comes in a periscope design and doubles down as a macro lens with up to 20 times magnification. Additionally, an ultrawide unit serves as an auxiliary camera on the back and a 32MP shooter for selfies.
Vivo partnered with Sony for the camera sensor on the X200 Pro Mini. Given that, this phone has Sony’s LYT-818 sensor with Vivo’s Blueprint technology on top. The phone has a dedicated chip called V2 just for imaging processing. Lastly, the smartphone manufacturer has also put a self-developed algorithm in place to help enhance the details on images when zooming and such.
Performance
Similar to its other compatriots, the Vivo X200 Pro Mini packs the same MediaTek Dimennsity 9400 chipset. This processor comes with the fabled 3nm fabrication and clocks in at a peak of 3.626GHz.
Other than that, it comes in three configurations. Those being: 12GB + 256GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB. The memory over here is a quad-channel LPDDR5X while the storage is UFS 4.0.
In terms of power, you are looking at the third-generation Blue Volt battery with a silicon anode measuring 5,700 mAh in capacity. Furthermore, it supports 90W wired and 30W wireless flash charging. The Vivo X200 Pro Mini is capable of reverse charging too, but only through OTG.

Software and AI
Software-wise, it boots on OriginOS 5 based on Android 15 and comes with on-device AI capabilities. You get all the features like V Search (Circle to search), V Help (translation and transcription), and V Writing. Vivo is also offering a Dynamic Island-like feature called “Atomic Island”.
Design and Display
Much like its larger counterparts, the Vivo X200 Pro Mini carries the same design blueprint. The striking difference it has is that it is smaller in size and has taken an all-flat approach. This means, both its frame and edges are not curved. Contrarily, the other members of the X200 series also have flat frames but the edges are curved. Regardless, it is IP68 as well as IP69 rated and provides excellent dust and water resistance.
Moreover, it ships in Micro Powder (Pink), Straightforward (White), Simple Black, and Titanium Blue colours. If you are wondering, no the material of choice is not titanium, it’s just the name of the colour.
For the display, it has a 6.31-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1 to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and 2.6K resolution. The screen on the Vivo X200 Pro Mini is quite vibrant as it can display 1.07 billion colours while covering the entirety of DCI-P3 colour space.
It is also easy on your eyes with 2,160Hz PWM dimming and has the accolades to show for it. It has SGS certification for hardware-level low-blue light and also cleared the “Professional Eye Protection Test” from the National Ophthalmology Engineering Centre.
