Here are the five reasons why the vivo X200 is a great buy, and the not-so-great ones.
The vivo X200 debuts with the latest and most powerful processor by MediaTek. Just like its predecessor, vivo’s flagship offering boasts ZEISS lenses to let you capture moments and more at stunning quality. But at a price of almost 58K, is it exemplary?
Let’s begin with the 3-nm Dimensity 9400 processor and Immortalis-G925 graphics. This chipset can handle everything you throw at it, from heavy apps to demanding games. But it’s 40% less power demanding compared to the previous generation.
Immersing you is the 6.67” 1.5K AMOLED panel with 120Hz refresh rate and 4500 nits of peak brightness. It also comes with several safeguards for your eyes to reduce strain when using the device for hours.
But the real power of the vivo X200 lies inside its cameras. It boasts a triple 50MP rear camera system that includes an ultrawide and periscope telephoto sensors. These are all ZEISS lenses and are capable of 4K video recording.
The magic behind its camera potential is the vivo VCS spectrum technology that ensures sharpness and color accuracy regardless of lighting conditions. If you need to change a thing or two, the handset features AI tools.
Reasons Why It’s a Great Buy
- Flagship chipset: 2,647,012 AnTuTu points.
- Versatile camera: Varying focal lengths from 23mm to 100mm.
- IP68/69 dust and water resistance; excellent for outdoor adventures.
- 5800mAh silicon-anode with 90W rapid charging and passive cooling system.
- Security Chip to protect your data and enhance your privacy.
Not-So-Great Reasons
- 1.5K resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
- No LTPO technology.
- 512GB maximum onboard storage and no expansion slot.
- Optical under-display fingerprint reader.
- Only available in Green colorway.
For its SRP, the vivo X200 should have maximized its chipset with 2K display and 144Hz refresh rate. Plus, it lacked LTPO that would help its battery life. This technology lets the device drop its frame rate to as low as 1Hz, especially useful for AOD.
Also, the ultrasonic fingerprint reader has higher protection than an optical reader. Perhaps vivo opted for absolute data protection using the security chip.
