VIVO X200 PRO – Review

by

The Vivo X200 Pro features a 6.78-inch quad-curved AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. It comes with options for up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage, running on either OriginOS 5 or FuntouchOS 15 based on Android 15. T he camera setup is highlighted by a triple system, a 50MP main camera (Sony LYT 818 Sensor), a 50MP Wide Angle Camera and 200MP Telephoto Camera. This setup is further enhanced by ZEISS optics and Vivo’s V3+ Imaging chip for superior photo quality. The phone also includes a mega 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired and 30W wireless charging capabilities, encased in an IP68-rated body. This battery is bigger and longer lasting than anything we have seen in a comparable phone. The VIVO X200 Pro is a photography powerhouse that aims to redefine mobile imaging, and it succeeds on multiple fronts. Equipped with India’s first 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, this smartphone elevates the art of photography, especially in the landscape category.

 From sprawling cityscapes to the lush contours of the countryside, the X200 PRO camera captures breathtaking detail, delivering results that rival professional-grade equipment. What truly sets the X200 Pro apart is its versatility. For those who love macro photography, the Telephoto Macro lens and AI autofocus make capturing intricate patterns—like the delicate veins in a flower petal or the fine textures of a leaf—remarkably effortless. The camera never struggles with focus, ensuring every shot is crisp and vibrant. Low-light scenarios, often a challenge for many smartphones, are where the X200 Pro really flexes its muscles. With Telephoto Nightscape Mode, the camera effectively reduces noise while enhancing brightness and color. Nighttime shots of festive cityscapes come alive with new energy—buildings, lights, and even starry skies appear vivid and well-defined. One of the phone’s standout capabilities is its ability to capture the supermoon with impressive clarity. Rather than ending up with a blurry white blob, you get a defined lunar surface that showcases craters and contours. Beyond photography, the X200 Pro maintains solid performance metrics. The device feels polished and responsive, with a fluid interface that pairs well with its photographic prowess. Still, the star of the show is unquestionably the camera system, which sets a new benchmark for what smartphones can achieve.
