Vivo launched their flagship product Vivo X200 series in China at Beijing’s famous Water Cube, also known as the National Aquatics Center. We got our hands on the device a few days in advance, so our team had some time to play and test it before going into in-depth review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you were wondering how the phone feels in real life, here\u2019s a quick first impression of the Vivo X200 Pro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Vivo X200 Pro is Sleek but Chunky<\/strong>
The X200 Pro feels premium right out of the box. With its flat edges and metal frame, it gives us some serious flagship vibes. We\u2019ve got the Blue Sapphire model, which mimics the ocean waves under light. I\u2019m not sure if everyone would love this, but it definitely stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The almost-flat display is a refreshing change from the curved screens we\u2019ve been seeing everywhere. It\u2019s got a nice heft to it, striking a balance between solid and comfortable\u2014that is, until you get to the camera bump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So let\u2019s address the elephant in the room: that camera island is huge if we still take it as a Pro model. It\u2019s big enough to be called an \u201cultra,\u201d dominating the back of the phone, especially when we learned that the camera also inherited quite a lot from the X100 Ultra. While it houses a triple-lens setup, there\u2019s an extra \u2018lens-like\u2019 circle up top that\u2019s more for show than function. It balances out the look, but don\u2019t be fooled \u2014 it\u2019s not a fourth camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera App goes all in on AI<\/strong>
The camera app on the X200 Pro has gotten a serious glow-up. Vivo has added a bunch of AI features that make shooting a breeze. But note that almost all the fantastic custom features were developed for domestic users with various Chinese applications. For overseas markets, the brand has to work with Google\u2019s Gemini. But there\u2019s no doubt that OriginOS 5 intrigues me significantly more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What if add some AI features to portrait mode? The X200 series gives you the answer. There\u2019re four-season styles plus a Chinese style for auto post-modification. It makes the camera look fun, but only if you wait a minute or two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Auto mode & AI visual ON in Portrait mode
The portrait mode is smarter than ever, and the landscape mode? It\u2019s like they took the best bits of all the modes related to non-figure photography such as super night mode, pano mode, and star trails mode, and mashed them together. The software manager\u2019s logic I guess is that they want to differentiate the custom modes into two categories, one for portrait and one for landscape. They\u2019re like two folders, with the benefit of being easy to tell apart. The downside is that you have to \u2018open\u2019 them first (switch to them) \u2013 a step that may already be difficult for average users. One of my favorite features among the upgrades is the Zeiss Perspective Correction. When you look up a bit to shoot certain scenes, especially like architecture, you\u2019ll always be annoyed by the perspective. On the X200 series, it would automatically crop and generate a horizontal perspective for users in real-time. It can instantly enhance the look and composition of your photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Further, video capabilities have taken a giant leap forward, especially in dark environments. We\u2019re talking 4K at 120fps and even 8K at 30fps, which are all working well for dark scenarios. And for all you vloggers out there, there\u2019s a new portrait video mode that\u2019s bound to up your game. Initial quality of the videos was quite impressive but we want to test out the camera in detail for our final verdict. More importantly, it has a lot of fun that we couldn\u2019t experience all in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main camera is shifted to a brand-new sensor, SONY LTY818, sized at 1\/1.28\u2033. It\u2019s claimed to have even better video-shooting capabilities. The 3.7x (85mm focus length & F\/2.67) telephoto lens comes with the same setup as the vivo X100 Ultra\u2019s \u2013 the impressive Zeiss 200MP APO telephoto lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the Hood: Dimensity 9400 Powerhouse<\/strong>
Powering all this goodness is the latest MTK Dimensity 9400 chip. We\u2019re still running some benchmarks (Antutu Benchmark: the first mobile chipset exceeds 3,000,000), so stay tuned for the nitty-gritty performance details. But so far, the phone has been very smooth, we can expect the chip to deliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the coolest features we\u2019ve played with on the phone is the BlueLM AI large model. You can actually download the local algorithm package for offline use, such as Image Stylization and Document Summarization, which is pretty neat. We\u2019ve been having a fun time with image generation, text recognition, and instant translation. Another new software feature that caught my interest is \u2018Circle to Search\u2019. Just circle any objects or items on the display to search for their information. It can be triggered in any app while just holding two fingers on the screen for a few seconds. The results? Surprisingly accurate most of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you missed our X200 launch article, let me remind you that there\u2019s a Pro Mini model as well. It has a very unique placement (compact in size), which is a refreshing change from all the Ultras and the Pro Maxes we\u2019ve been seeing. We also have a detailed article explaining the entire Vivo X200 series, which will be out very soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, Vivo and MediaTek have jointly developed and globally premiered the kilometer-level network-less communication technology, which realizes point-to-point and long-distance communication through Bluetooth connection in a network-less and signal-less environment. Supports SOS text broadcasting, one-to-one voice\/text intercom, map location display, etc. Within a certain distance, you can form a local network of communication with other Vivo users by turning your phone into a walkie-talkie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To sum up, the Vivo X200 Pro is shaping up to be a serious contender in the high-end smartphone market. With its focus on photography, powerful chip, and AI capabilities, it\u2019s clear Vivo is gunning for the top spot. Sure, that camera bump is huge and might not be everyone\u2019s cup of tea, but if you\u2019re all about that photo and video life, this is definitely a phone to check out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As for the battery, I would draw my conclusion first here \u2013 it feels like the premium phone with the longest battery life I\u2019ve ever used. More details will be revealed in our in-depth review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please stay tuned for our full review, where we\u2019ll dive deeper into the benchmarks, battery life, and how it holds up in day-to-day use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
