Vivo X200 Pro’s official images are out!

October 2, 2024

Vivo’s latest flagship series i.e. X100 series had multiple members and all of them had a pretty solid camera set. Now the company is working on its successor series which will likely have an equal number of members. We are hearing some buzz about the “Pro” model which will reportedly have even better imaging capabilities. Let’s discuss all that we know of the Vivo X200 Pro in this article.

Vivo X200 Pro Rumours Round-up

Design and Display

The design side of things will be a bit different, especially on the frame side as per the official images circling on JD.com, a Chinese retail platform. The curved middle frame is bidding farewell with a flat frame saying “Hi” with a glossy finish as per the renders. The camera module is still a circular one with a slight bump and ZEISS branding. Meanwhile, the display will still be a curved AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution, a micro quad curved to be more precise. In terms of color options, the X200 Pro will include Black, White, Blue, and Silver.

Database Appearance

Vivo has been rather inactive with its flagship series in the European market. However, they did launch the Vivo X100 Pro there and it looks like they will launch its successor too. Sources have spotted the Vivo X200 Pro with model number “V2413” in the EE’s (a British mobile phone provider) database.

This means that Vivo is switching the naming scheme for its flagship phones. So far they’ve been hopping the number by the factor of 10s like X70, X80, X90, and X100. But now, the naming will take a direct jump of 100 and the upcoming phone series will be called the Vivo X200 instead.

Imaging

Camera Commotion

There are a whole lot of rumours floating around regarding which sensor the upcoming Vivo X200 Pro will feature. From all the talks, the main camera will be a Sony LYT 818 1/1.28-inch sensor from Sony with 50MP resolution. It will support real-time HDR preview, 86dB HDR and 0.95e signal-to-noise ratio, ensuring better imaging capabilities. Likewise, it appears to be pretty unanimous that it will carry over the 200MP ISOCELL HP9 sensor used with the telephoto lens of Vivo X100 Ultra.

Self-developed ISP and AI, Of course

Along with the sensor itself, Vivo is working on an in-house ISP as well. It will reportedly be called Vivo V4 ISP. They will equip their upcoming flagship with this ISP so that it can better run its AI portrait algorithm. And talking of AI, the company is also developing an AI model with a billion parameters to better help with image optimisation.

Vivo will not reserve this algorithm for X200 Pro only though. They shared a roll-out plan where they intend to push this AI model to Vivo X100 Pro, X100, X90 Pro+, and X90/s/Pro by the end of August, early September, end of October, and early November respectively. Even though there are no mentions of the X100s and X100s Pro, they will likely receive the update alongside the base model.

Dimesnity 9400 SoC

This year as well, Vivo is likely to join hands with Mediatek for the horsepower. Rumours have it, the Vivo X200 Pro will pack a Dimensity 9400 chipset. There is no concrete info as to how much improvement it will bring over the Dimesnity 9300, but we can expect boosts on both the CPU and GPU sides, without any doubt. Meanwhile, the software side will be OriginOS 5 with several AI features.
