Not long ago, Huawei chose September 10th to hold a press conference on the same day as Apple, introducing the Mate XT, the world's first triple-folding smartphone, to compete with Apple's iPhone 16 series. Not only did they choose the same day for the announcement, but they also opted for the same day, September 20th, for the release, demonstrating a firm stance against Apple.

Other domestic phone manufacturers have also followed suit. With the announcement of Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 and MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 flagship processors in October, a large number of new domestic flagship phones will also be released!

Firstly, in mid-September 2024, both Apple and Huawei launched their annual flagship phone models. Next, the flagship products of major Android phone manufacturers for the second half of the year will also be unveiled.

Indeed, a digital blogger has exposed a vivo invitation, announcing a press conference scheduled for October 14th, which will likely officially introduce the flagship vivo X200 series, possibly with the Dimensity 9400 chip as its first launch.

According to previous leaks, the vivo X200 series will introduce three new models: vivo X200, vivo X200+, and vivo X200 Pro. The Dimensity 9400 chip uses a 3nm manufacturing process, featuring a CPU with 1*3.63GHz X925 + 3*2.80GHz X4 + 4*2.10GHZ A725 cores and a Mali-G925-Immortalis MC12 GPU, boasting impressive performance.

In terms of display, the standard and Pro versions may adopt equal-depth quad-curved screens. The Pro version offers a 1.5k resolution and supports 120hz adaptive refresh rate technology, equipped with self-developed medical-grade eye protection technology. The straight-screen version may be a compact flagship with a 6.3-inch 1.5k resolution ultra-narrow straight screen and a right-angle frame design.

For photography, it may come with a periscope telephoto lens, and the main camera may be replaced with a Sony 50-megapixel camera manufactured using 22nm technology, supporting a 1/1.28-inch large sensor and an ultra-large f/1.57 aperture. Specifically, the vivo X200 Pro features a 50-megapixel full-range triple-camera setup, possibly including a 200-megapixel periscope lens; while the vivo X200 boasts a 50mp triple-camera system, including a Sony custom ultra-large main camera, a 3x mid-range telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide-angle lens.

Notably, the most eye-catching feature is the introduction of a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens (the same as the previous-generation X100 Ultra) for the first time in the Pro series. This camera employs a 1/1.4-inch ultra-large sensor, model number Samsung HP9, jointly developed by vivo and Samsung. In low-light environments, it can convert to 12 megapixels through a 4-in-1 pixel binning technology, increasing the individual pixel size to 2.24μm, significantly enhancing night photography.

Although the model number of the 200-megapixel camera in the vivo X200 Pro has not been announced, given that the Samsung HP9 is already commercially available, industry insiders speculate that it may adopt the same periscope telephoto lens as the X100 Ultra.

Furthermore, it is worth mentioning that the vivo X200 series will adopt a new Blue Ocean Endurance System. Through intelligent energy management and optimized battery usage, it employs second-generation silicon-carbon anode materials, which have a 20% higher density than conventional graphite anode materials, thereby enhancing battery capacity and prolonging battery life.

The vivo X200 series will also feature the newly evolved BlueHeart large model, which integrates voice, visual, and multimodal big data processing capabilities. In scenarios such as office work, education, and health, the BlueHeart model will provide professional and convenient intelligent experiences, meeting users' diverse needs.

For reference, the previous generation vivo X100 and vivo X100 Pro both feature a 6.78-inch Super Retina 8T eye-care micro-curved screen with a resolution of 2800×1260, supporting up to 120Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 3000 nits, and 2160Hz high-frequency dimming.

In terms of performance, both the vivo X100 and vivo X100 Pro are powered by the Dimensity 9300 processor.

For photography, the vivo X100 sports a 32-megapixel front camera and a rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel super-sensitive VCS bionic main camera, a 64-megapixel Zeiss super telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, integrated with vivo's self-developed imaging chip V2. The vivo X100 Pro, on the other hand, features a 32-megapixel front camera and a rear camera system with a 50-megapixel precision-leap one-inch main camera, a 50-megapixel Zeiss APO super telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, combined with vivo's self-developed imaging chip V3.

In terms of battery and fast charging, the vivo X100 is equipped with an equivalent 5000mAh Blue Ocean battery supporting 120W flash charging, while the vivo X100 Pro boasts an equivalent 5400mAh Blue Ocean battery supporting 100W wired flash charging and 50W wireless flash charging.

Furthermore, based on current information, the vivo X200 series is expected to bring upgrades in performance, photography, battery life, and other aspects. Interested parties may wish to stay tuned.

Finally, if the current leaks are true, it implies that in addition to being the first to launch with MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 chipset, the vivo X200 series is likely to undergo further upgrades in areas such as photography and battery life. However, specific product details for this series are still pending confirmation from vivo. Interested parties are encouraged to stay tuned for further updates.
