As the launch date of the new product approaches, vivo has officially begun the pre-launch hype for the vivo X200 series. Following previous teasers about its appearance and specifications, the latest pre-launch teasers have also mentioned screen details of the new vivo X200 series.

Recently, vivo released the official renderings of the vivo X200 Pro and vivo X200 Pro mini. Judging from the images, both adopt right-angle borders. The rear Deco design continues the cross-shaped arrangement of lenses from the previous generation X200 and X200 Pro mini.

The Pro model features a rectangular four-corner arrangement, with a decorative block in the upper right corner, similar to the previous generation Ultra. The design inspiration comes from camera lens caps. In terms of color options, all three models are available in Midnight Black and Moonlight White. The brand-new Sapphire Blue and Titanium colors are exclusive to the X Standard Edition and Pro; while the Pro mini boasts unique Pink and Green options.

Regarding the screen, besides the straight screen on the Pro mini, the Standard Edition and Pro finally enter the era of fully equal-depth curved screens. vivo has also named the series screens "Zeiss Master Color Display," which supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming and is enhanced by ultrasonic fingerprint recognition.

Moreover, not only does the X200 series itself bring significant upgrades, but it will also globally premiere MediaTek's Dimensity 9400, the first 3nm chip in the Android camp, crafted using TSMC's 3nm process.

Dimensity 9400 is the first to adopt the Arm Cortex-X925 supercore. To highlight the significant CPU upgrade, Arm specifically changed the naming convention for Cortex-X. Compared to the previous generation X4, the Cortex-X925 supercore offers a 36% performance boost and a 41% AI performance enhancement.

In terms of GPU, Dimensity 9400 is equipped with the latest Mali-G925-Immortalis MC12 GPU. Arm claims that the all-new Immortalis G925 GPU is their most powerful and efficient GPU to date.

Tests show that in the GFXBench Aztec 1440P off-screen Vulkan scenario, the GPU of Dimensity 9400 achieved an impressive score of 134fps, surpassing the A18 Pro by 86% and the Snapdragon 8 Gen3 by 41%, demonstrating robust performance.

Additionally, it is revealed that the vivo X200 Pro will exclusively feature a 200Mp f/2.67 85mm large-sensor periscope lens and V3+ imaging chip, covering focal lengths from 15mm to 85mm, with "200Mp" marked on the lens.

The vivo X200 Pro mini shares the Sony LYT818 f/1.57 23mm 1/1.28" super-large sensor main camera and an f/2.57" 70mm medium-sized sensor periscope lens, with the entire series supporting telephoto macro photography.

Among them, the Sony LYT818 sensor, based on vivo's imaging algorithm, adopts a 22nm process technology, offering better power consumption, stronger computing power, and a smaller size. It not only reduces power consumption during photography but also minimizes the protrusion of the phone's camera lens.

It is understood that the vivo X200 series continues to enhance the Zeiss 200MP APO super telephoto capability of the X100 Ultra. This time, it has upgraded the "telephoto portrait" feature. Building upon the "five humanistic focal lengths" of the X100 series, namely 24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm, a brand-new 135mm focal length has been added, creating a stunning sense of compression between the portrait and the background.

Simultaneously, the X200 series introduces the new "telephoto macro" feature, designed to make lens switching more flexible, enabling a seamless transition from "super telephoto" to "micro-magnification" with unique depth-of-field effects and more refined compositions.

Furthermore, the vivo X200 series pioneers the "landscape mode," which precisely captures the nuances of sky colors and the charm of landscapes, whether it's a desolate desert, a sheer cliff, a cyberpunk city, or a cliffside town. It enables stunning travel photos with just one click.

In terms of video, the vivo X100 Ultra has already demonstrated cinematic video recording capabilities. This time, the X200 series introduces "4K 120fps cinematic slow-motion, full-focal-length 10-bit log, and 4K backlight cinematic portrait video."

4K 120fps ultra-HD slow-motion allows the phone to capture extremely delicate movements, especially suitable for fast-moving scenes like sports and dance.

Full-focal-length 10-bit log means supporting 10-bit color depth video recording across all focal lengths, presenting richer color gradations (about 1 billion colors) and offering a larger post-production color grading space.

Apart from the above, the vivo X200 series will also support "kilometer-level offline communication" technology (utilizing special protocols and algorithms along with LoRa spread spectrum technology to achieve cost-free communication over distances of up to several kilometers). The Pro version will also introduce a satellite communication edition. It supports interconnection with PCs and Macs, is compatible with Apple office software and Live Photo, and will debut with OriginOS 5.

Worth mentioning is the "Worry-Free Long-Distance Connection," referring to the standard "kilometer-level offline communication" feature, which is highly beneficial for outdoor enthusiasts. Compared to satellite communication, its advantages lie in being free and requiring no separate activation, with a communication range of up to several kilometers. Judging from the official teasers, it resembles a walkie-talkie communication function, undoubtedly catching people's attention. Considering the current international situation, if costs and technology permit, it would be excellent if smartphones were mandated to include this feature.

Moving on, the vivo X200 series is equipped with the highest energy density battery in history, with silicon content upgraded to 5%, and supports 90W fast charging across the entire series. However, wireless charging is downgraded to 30W, which is somewhat disappointing.

Finally, the highly anticipated vivo X200 series will officially launch at the Water Cube at 19:00 on October 14. This new series not only undergoes comprehensive upgrades in design and performance but also globally premieres MediaTek's latest Dimensity 9400 chip, marking the official entry of the Android camp into the 3nm era.

In conclusion, the vivo X200's upgrades primarily focus on the screen (form factor) for its appearance and strengthen its imaging capabilities, which are its strong suits, in terms of hardware. It remains highly anticipated to see how well vivo tunes the Dimensity 9400.
