It's a very well known fact by now that certain companies, especially Honor, pay them to rate their smartphones highly. They lost every bit of credibility they had for the past few years. So genuinely, you're wasting your time looking at their ratings. Their reviews are good, I'll give them that, but their ratings are just mostly lies

            Anonymous, 27 Oct 2024Wish GSMArena use Natural profile instead of default Vivid ... moreThey always show the default settings. And I don't blame them. 90% of users never change their photo settings while shooting. They don't even change white balance which is the most basic thing to do. What they do instead is fiddle with Instagram filters later on.

              Ottonis, 27 Oct 2024So, in a nutshell: The X200pro brings the stellar 200MP, 1/... moreX100 pro was 1300 euros.
              This won't be cheaper.

                Nick Tegrataker, 27 Oct 2024Sony never mentioned that LYT-818 uses 2x2 OCL, though - It... moreBecause Sony is putting 2x2 on all sensors. Those are public versions.
                Except 1" and those very exclusive like imx803, imx888 ( lyt800 / t808).

                Another way to make more money since 1 microlens above 4 pixels at once saves costs.
                Some omnivision have partial 2x2.
                Samsung has not used on isocell yet.

                Vivo has no reason to mention. Same way Apple does not say imx803 is DP with masked pdaf.

                Imx858 is 2x2 too.



                  So, in a nutshell: The X200pro brings the stellar 200MP, 1/1.4", close-focusing tele-camera, which alone makes this phone one of the most interesting cameraphones in the market, right now.
                  Battery life is good, screen is great, performance is stellar.

                  All of that makes the X200pro one of the hottest and most anticipated cameraphone-flagships. Global availability and price will determine how competitive it will be compared to upcoming phones in 2025 such as Galaxy S25, Xiaomi 15, Oppo Find X8, Honor Magic 7 etc.

                  All in all, great job, Vivo, really well done!

                        What a shame. That 1 inch sensor was part of their winning formula. I have no hope for 200 Ultra having a global version option. I think Xiaomi’s 15 Ultra will be my next upgrade.

                          Thanks a lot for the sample photos of traditional scenes. Please always shoot the same scenes for the reviews.

                            Hopefully X200 Ultra will keep the 1 inch main sensor, as you can see in those photos size matters, and morever they will improve the ultrawide lens - with bigger sensor and wider field of view.
                            And the third thing is 24/25mp auto mode like in Oppo, Huawei, iPhones. It really makes details better.
                            For photography x100 Ultra > x200 Pro, even if x200 Pro is really cool.

                              Auguste, 26 Oct 2024Can’t wait for the Vivo X200 Pro Mini review, it literally ... moreCamera hardware on the Pixel 9 Pro is still superior overall (especially telephoto and ultrawide).

                              Wish we had a phone with Software and Camera from Pixel 9 Pro and rest of the hardware from Vivo X200 Pro Mini.

                                James Nana, 27 Oct 2024Pictures seem too saturated and colorful. Get that some peo... moreWish GSMArena use Natural profile instead of default Vivid color profile. There is Zeiss Natural Mode which will produce natural like color images. You can even set Sharpness and Saturation as well in camera settings.

                                  Tmswm, 26 Oct 2024Have compared both yourself? I have them both here and reg... morei've seen full res sample shots from someone i know and those just aren't that polished from the X200 Mini. I'm not saying the Pixel 9 Pro is a huge step up or anything, im sure vivo might overtake the Pixel in some scenarios sure, but without the V3+ chip the dominance is not gonna be huge.

                                  I didn't say this phone needed a better main cam to beat the Pixel, they're matched/the Vivo might win already, I just think that Vivo didn't have to nerf the phone so hard.

                                    notafanboy, 26 Oct 2024Also apparently Vivo removed the ability to check whether y... morewoah man, sounds shady but like, if the calibration is right and the brightness is around 1500+ nits , does it matter?

                                    and, you got the X200 Pro??? Should've waited for an Ultra man, don't think this is an upgrade from the X7 Ultra in terms of camera. Apart from long range zoom, the X7 Ultra is superior imo

                                      Anonymous, 27 Oct 2024Because it was reduced from 100. Not because they think 9... moreThe Oneplus 12 and the X100 Pro both had 100W charging yet the OP12 charged significantly faster. It's not about the W certification, it's about how the manufacturer uses it, just like cameras or the chip performance.

                                        Eduard33, 27 Oct 2024And also look at the temps and the progress they've ma... moreand compared to the Find X8 Pro and Xiaomi 15 Pro, this is actually cool! Look at Xiaobai's review. This camera monster is only beaten/matched by the Oneplus 13! A performance/gaming centric phone. Vivo did an incredible job this year.

                                        Oh and Vivo's not THAT conservative, in real life gameplay they allow the chip to go as far as 48-49 degrees! Look at Xiaobai's review, that guy has a number of great videos, they're all chinese with no translations so i just looked at the graphs lol
