Vivo X200 series to reportedly launch in China on this date
Vivo X200 and Vivo X200 Pro, the alleged successors to the currently available Vivo X100 series (also launched in India), are launching soon in China. With leaks regarding the upcoming Vivo X-series camera flagships increasing in the past few weeks, it was becoming increasingly clear that the launch event for the handsets was on the cards. After an earlier report had hinted at an October launch for the two smartphones, Vivo has now reportedly revealed when these phones will be launching.
A GSMArena report claims that Vivo has issued an invite for its next hardware launch event. While the ‘save the date’ invite doesn’t explicitly mention anything other than an event date, it is speculated that it is the launch event for Vivo’s premium camera-focused flagships. The event will take place in China, in the capital city of Beijing. No other details were shared in the released image.
There have been multiple leaks and rumors regarding both devices in the past few months. However, only one of them revealed a live image of the Vivo X200 dummy smartphone, which is the lesser of the two in terms of hardware.
The images revealed Vivo’s updated design philosophy which has now moved towards a more iPhone-like design, with a flat display, back panel and flat sides. Vivo’s signature circular camera module remains intact, but protrudes quite a bit from the flat rear panel.
Vivo X200 Pro Specifications (Expected)
Like the X200, the high-end Vivo X200 Pro is also said to be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. The phone, as mentioned, will feature a flat display with slightly curved edges, measuring 6.75-inches with a screen resolution of 1.5K.
The handset is also said to feature a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint reader. The device is powered by a 6,000mAh battery and also features a 200-megapixel telephoto camera on the back.
Vivo X200 Specifications (Expected)
The Vivo X200 is also said to be powered by the same MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. This model will get a 6.3-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution. The camera setup won’t be as impressive as the X200 Pro that features a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
The telephoto camera will also have macro shooting capabilities due to the floating lens element, like on existing models. The phone will be powered by a relatively smaller 5,500mAh – 5,600mAh battery.
As the October 14 event date approaches, we can expect more details about the cameras and design of these camera-enabled smartphones to be revealed.
