Vivo is rumored to be launching the X200 series in early October 2024, coinciding with the flagship phone launch season initiated by the iPhone 16. This move signifies the intense competition between Android phones and iPhones in the global market.

Unlike its competitors such as OnePlus and Xiaomi who will use Snapdragon 8 Gen 4, Vivo X200 will carry the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 chipset. This step shows a different strategy from Vivo to face competition in the flagship segment.

The X200 series is expected to come in two models, namely the standard Vivo X200 and Vivo X200 Pro. The standard model likely has a 6.3-inch flat OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and 1.5K resolution.

In terms of camera, X200 will be equipped with a 50-megapixel main sensor from Sony, a periscope lens with 3x optical zoom, as well as an ultrawide lens. The phone will be powered by a battery with a capacity of about 5,500mAh to 5,600mAh, as well as supports cable and wireless charging.

Meanwhile, the Vivo X200 Pro is expected to offer a curved screen with similar specifications, namely a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The rear camera will consist of a 200-megapixel telephoto periscope lens, a 50-megapixel main sensor with a large aperture, and a 50-megapixel ultrawide lens.

In addition, the X200 Pro is likely to carry a larger battery, around 6,000mAh, as well as a water-resistant certification with an IP68 or IP69 rating and an increase in the X-axis motor for a better haptic experience.

These two phones will come with the Origin OS based Android 15 operating system. Although there is no official information regarding the price yet, the Vivo X200 series is expected to compete tightly with other flagships, including the iPhone 16, in the next few months.
