Vivo X200 Series Launch Date Announced: Price Leaked Ahead of Launch

The Vivo X200 Series phones, which will comprise the vivo X200 Pro and vivo X200 Pro small in addition to the X200, which will include ZEISS optics, similar to the X100 series, have been announced by Vice President Jia Jingdong of Vivo after teasers. On 14 October, Vivo's X200 series will be on sale in China. Vivo is actively teasing the Vivo X200, Vivo X200 Pro, and Vivo X200 Pro Mini on social media, but recent leaks from China provide us with more information on the phones' features and cost. Leaked hands-on photos and videos showcase the Vivo X200 Pro Mini's back camera configuration. Vivo will likely maintain the exact starting pricing of regular Vivo X200 and X100.

Battery

With an improved silicon content of 5%, the X200 series battery has the best energy density in the industry's history. The battery will be even thinner than the previous generation, even though the capacity has increased significantly. Vivo's semi-solid low-temperature battery life technology is even more remarkable, which enables prolonged everyday use at minus 20 degrees.

Performance

The MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC, unveiled later this week, will power the Vivo X200 Pro line. "Vivo concentrates on the complete-link technology closed-loop SoC, encompassing definition, design, and R&D modification. It accomplishes the fundamental software and hardware integration design, infuses the chip with the vivo essence, and enhances user performance," stated the VP of vivo. He continued that the X200 series' operating system, OriginOS 5, provides LLM with up to 3 billion parameters. This is sufficient to conveniently manage most routine AI operations on the mobile device while maintaining privacy and independence. On 10 October, the OriginOS 5 will be unveiled at the VDC.
