Absolutely not true. Ultra will have 1 inch sensor.

Focal lengths as advertised on phones aren't real focal lengths because they would mean nothing in "photography terms", but are expressed as "35 mm equivalents".
E.g. on my Sony Xperia 1 III the 16, 24, 70 and 105 mm "lenses" actually have focal lengths of (according to EXIF) 2.7, 5.1, 10.2 and 14.5 mm.

The X200 Ultra will be superior at most focal lengths.
This is a win/win it will cost Vivo less allowing them to keep costs down while providing a better more versatile camera.
I can easily see their rationale going this route.
But no, Vivo with its huge amount of funds and expertise paired with Zeiss is wrong and you are right haha give me a break.
Only uniformed spec nerds who equate bigger number = better see this as a downgrade.
Wait for the release and photo comparisons between the two and eat your words!

It crops into the sensor when you use digital zoom which is what all phone cameras do except some Sony models.

P... moreYes you are correct!
But you are not accounting for focal length.
1" sensor @23mm cropped to 35mm = 50.27mm²
1/1.28" sensor @ 35mm Native = 80.77mm²
61% larger.
This is the same for 50mm too. These are far better focal lengths for photography.
The ultrawide will also be 1/1.28" much larger than the tiny 1/2" or smaller sensors you normally find, granted it will not be as wide at 18mm but I'm happy with that compromise.
So really you get superior image quality at 18-22mm and again from 35mm+.
And that before we talk about the fact it's a more advanced sensor, 35mm being better for portraits and the advantages this solution will have for video.

I do have some professional dedicated cameras but carrying the big lenses and the heavy camera body around is not ideal. The whole camera bag can weigh a good amount of kgs... So if I can get a device that does all the communication, had a good battery life , and good camera - then I'm happy. But I'd rather get the device that excels in all those qualities. And there's a few that definitely stand out from the rest when it comes to that

Go and buy a full frame camera and be done with it. The consumer then has the very cutting edge in photography.
For casual shots, which is what cameraphones are intended for, does it honestly matter how good the image quality is?
ANY flagship camera phone of the last 3 years all perform basically identical in casual scenarios, not least where the images are then shared to social media/chat apps, etc - meaning the image is cropped and downsampled.
I get the feeling those crying about image sensor size are just a bit peculiar. It's all about who has the "best specs" in the playground arguments. Puerile and no one cares. It makes almost NO difference to the end result based on HOW people actually use their photos (on social media, primarily).

Pixel size is the defining factor the light gathering capability of the image sensor, and not the fabrication process . Both sensors are under LYTIA brand name and share similar technology. An 1" sensor is approximately 70% larger an 1/1,3" one! If the processing capability are equal, a 70% larger sensor will proportionally offer better results!

But if you wanna squeeze the best details and image quality out of a phone and not a dedicated camera ... Sensor size still matters ... Look at x100 U vs all the rest camera comparisons and that's where sensor size importance becomes apparent

What amuses me is everyone crying about not using a 1" sensor. Firstly, larger sensor size means larger optics. That doesn't work on a mobile phone, so instead manufacturers are finding a better balance between sensor size for quality, and increased zoom (with limited physical space for the optics) to increase shooting options in all scenarios. A good thing.
Second, the difference in image quality between 1" and 1.3" sensor is so negligible, it borders on pointless even discussing it. With stacked sensors AND AI processing, larger sensors are no longer required. This reduces costs for the consumer and provides much longer zoom range - both good things.
Thirdly, most people do not print or sell their mobile photography, so super high-res photos are just not required. 99% of people shooting on a smartphone camera upload to social media, which crops and downsizes to the point a phone camera of 5 years ago would have similar image quality side-by-side; otherwise they are viewing images only on their small-screen device, which also makes high MP, high-res images utterly pointless.
And finally, if image quality is so important to someone, go and buy a dedicated full frame camera. No smartphone will ever compare, and you get exactly what you want: the very best image quality.
