vivo X200 Ultra debuts with an add-on lens, X200s joins along with a huge battery

21 April 2025
Both phones are available only in China.

Sort by:

Beautiful phone, but the software is crap, a blatant copy of everything iOS has, even the button to raise and lower the screen brightness is identical to the iPhone's True Tone... Just for that reason, it's not worth importing a phone from China... It's a shame because Chinese hardware is far ahead of what Samsung and Apple offer.

      According to Vivo, they use the Samsung HP9 for the periscope camera. But I would find it interesting to see a periscope camera with a 200 megapixel Quad Bayer sensor without Quad Pixel autofocus instead of a Tetra²pixel sensor with Quad Pixel autofocus.
      I am not sure, but I imagine that 200 megapixel dual pixel sensors are not possible currently as this would require a pixel area of 0.56micrometerx0.28micrometer (basically a 400 megapixel sensor).

        The title says huge battery but 6200mAh is not that big its a standard size for the mainstream now, I thought its gonna be like 10000mAh battery

                Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've also seen on X that its Camera Control button is a 2-stage shutter key just like the one on Xperia. If you're the type of person who prefers a physical shutter button on a phone (I don't because it introduces a lot of shake), then this should be good news because you can most likely use it to lock the focus, not just for capturing a photo.

                      I'm interested in how the new "Classic Negative" filter (It's most likely Fuji's Classic Neg. inspired LUT, albeit unofficial) alters the look of the photos. GSMArena, when you review X200 Ultra, could you test that mode along with the usual Zeiss Vibrant, Zeiss Texture and Zeiss Natural? Cheers.

That would still be a great price tho.

                                    I guess that the periscope camera has rectangular lens elements because vivo's website shows a traditional periscope design.

                                        The effective diameter of the periscope camera might be 9.9mm! That's extremely large, only the Honor Magic7 RSR has such a large diameter. But there's still the question whether the periscope lens elements are rectangular, which would reduce the amount of light.
