According to previous reports, Qualcomm's new flagship mobile platform, the Snapdragon 8 Gen4, is expected to be released earlier in October this year, and the launch schedule of related devices will also be advanced accordingly. In addition to Qualcomm, MediaTek also plans to launch its new flagship mobile platform, the Dimensity 9400, in October this year, competing directly with the Snapdragon 8 Gen4. The first device to feature this new chip will be the all-new vivo X200 series.

Recently, vivo officially announced that the X200 series phones will be unveiled on October 14th at 19:00, with the event taking place at the Water Cube in Beijing.

As more information about the vivo X200 series continues to emerge, officials have also recently revealed some details about the design of the vivo X200.

According to the released product design information, the vivo X200 will feature a mainstream centered punch-hole display with straight edges and an ultra-narrow bezel full-depth micro-curved screen, ensuring an outstanding screen-to-body ratio. On the back, the large circular rear camera module with a water-ripple design will remain, with the brand logo located below the central axis. At least two color options, blue and white, will be available.

Furthermore, it is reported that the vivo X200 series will consist of three new models: X200, X200 Pro, X200 Pro Weitong Edition, and X200 Pro mini. All models will be equipped with large batteries and are expected to use the same glass fiber material as the vivo X Fold3 to reduce weight and thickness.

Specifically, the vivo X200 will sport a 6.4~6.5-inch 1.5K domestic custom four-narrow-bezel display, with black, white, blue, and pink color options for engineering samples. The Pro version will feature a 6.82-inch ±2K+120Hz 8T LTPO equi-depth curved screen, support single-point ultrasonic technology, and be available in black, white, and blue colors.

Regarding the newly introduced vivo X200 Pro mini, a set of comparison images with the iPhone 16 Pro has been released, stating that the X200 Pro mini has the same length and width as the iPhone 16 Pro but is thinner and has a larger battery capacity than the Pro Max.

For reference, the iPhone 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch screen, measuring 71.5mm wide, 8.25mm thick, and 149.6mm long. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a battery capacity of 4685mAh.

Thus, the vivo X200 Pro mini is expected to combine a small screen size with stronger battery life and photography capabilities.

Based on previous reports, the vivo X200 Pro and Pro mini models are expected to feature a triple rear camera setup with a 50-megapixel full-focal-length configuration, potentially including a 200-megapixel periscope lens. The standard version will include a Sony custom ultra-large main camera, a 3x medium-sized telephoto camera, and an ultra-wide-angle lens.

Additionally, it is reported that the vivo X200 will be equipped with a 3x periscope telephoto lens, model Sony IMX882. Compared to OV64B, IMX882 boasts an ultra-thin module size, effectively controlling lens protrusion and offering faster focusing speeds.

Previously, vivo officially stated that the X200 series will be the first to feature its self-developed Blueprint image sensor, which uses a 22nm process and integrates multiple technologies based on a 10 billion-parameter large model.

According to introductions, the new device's photography performance in low-light, portrait, telephoto, and video scenarios will be improved thanks to this sensor and vivo's self-developed image processing chip.

Furthermore, a Geekbench benchmark score for a device suspected to be from this series has been exposed.

The exposed Geekbench 6.3.0 test result screenshot shows that the vivo X200 series's new model, with the product number V2419A, scored 1531 in single-core and 6135 in multi-core tests. It comes with 16GB of RAM and is pre-installed with an operating system based on Android 15. Based on these results and CPU-related information, it is highly likely that the device is powered by MediaTek's new flagship chip, the Dimensity 9400.

In terms of performance, the device has reached peak levels for new flagship platforms in CPU, GPU, MEM, and UX, with further improvements in overall performance. According to previous reports, the Dimensity 9400 chip features a Cortex-X925 supercore with a clock speed of up to 3.63GHz, complemented by three Cortex-X4 supercores at 2.8GHz and four Cortex-A7 series cores at 2.1GHz. Notably, the Cortex-X925, as Arm's latest generation supercore, offers a 36% performance boost and a 41% enhancement in AI capabilities compared to its predecessor, the X4. In terms of GPU, the Dimensity 9400 integrates the Mali-G925-Immortalis MC12 and introduces hardware-level ray tracing technology for the first time, offering nearly a 20% improvement in ray tracing performance over its predecessor.

Moreover, a blogger has revealed that a certain manufacturer's new device is equipped with a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto macro lens, a 6000mAh battery, and supports a 90W+50W fast charging combination. Judging from the comments, this device is expected to be the vivo X200 Pro.

Finally, it is reported that MediaTek's new flagship chip, the Dimensity 9400, will be officially released on October 9th. Five days later (October 14th), the vivo X200 series will make its debut as the first device to feature this chip. Stay tuned for its actual performance.
