The upcoming Vivo X200 is creating a buzz with the official images brought out in the Chinese retailer site JD.com. In this article, we’ll explore the latest rumors and details surrounding this expected change.
Vivo X200 Rumors Roundup
Design and Performance bump
In terms of design, the X200 will have a sleek profile with flat edges, a premium glass back, and a refined camera setup. The official images are out already as aforementioned and we are seeing symmetrical camera angles on the rear side with ZEISS branding in the middle. It will be less than 9 mm thick, contributing to its slim and stylish look. The phone is expected to be equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset and a 6.5-inch display with 1.5K resolution.
Vivo X200’s downgraded charging speed
While the X100 offered rapid 120W charging, the X200 is expected to support only 90W. This could be seen as a major downgrade for the phone which might initially disappoint some users, but it could be part of a strategy to enhance overall battery life.
Because despite the slower charging speed, the X200 will feature a larger battery, estimated between 5,500 and 5,600 mAh, potentially making the slower charging speed less of a drawback. So, for many users, the slower charging speed might be a reasonable compromise, especially for those who prefer longer battery life over quicker charging.
Additionally, the Vivo X200 will not support wireless charging, continuing the trend set by its predecessor.
