Vivo X200 Ultra Unveiled with Add-On Lens & X200s Launched with Record-Breaking Battery
Vivo X200 Ultra has officially launched in China, making waves with its pro-level photography hardware, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and an optional add-on lens kit. Alongside it, Vivo also introduced the Vivo X200s, a powerful yet compact phone with a massive 6,200 mAh battery—the largest in any Vivo X-series smartphone to date.
Vivo X200 Ultra: A Camera Powerhouse
The Vivo X200 Ultra is built for enthusiasts and creators, packed with features that push smartphone photography to new levels. At the heart of the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage, ranging from 256GB up to a whopping 1TB.
It sports a stunning 6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED display with a peak brightness of 4,500 nits and 120Hz refresh rate for ultra-smooth visuals.
But it’s the camera setup that truly defines this flagship. The rear houses a triple-camera array:
- 50 MP Sony LYT-818 main sensor
- 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL HP9 telephoto lens with 85mm focal length
- 50 MP ultra-wide Sony LYT-818 lens
All rear cameras support 4K at 120fps and Dolby Vision at 60fps. The 50 MP front camera ensures crystal-clear selfies and video calls.
A game-changing feature is the optional photography kit, which includes a 2.35x teleconverter lens, boosting the focal length to 200mm. The kit also includes a grip, extra battery (2,300 mAh), straps, and a special case—perfect for professional mobile photography.
Inside, the phone carries a robust 6,000 mAh battery with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. It runs on OriginOS based on Android 15 and starts at CNY 6,499 (~$900). The top-end version with 1TB storage and satellite connectivity is priced at CNY 7,999 (~$1,100), while the full photography set brings the total to CNY 9,699 (~$1,350).
Vivo X200s: Compact Size, Giant Battery
The Vivo X200s is a more compact yet premium alternative, featuring a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with 1260p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chipset, it comes with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and storage options up to 1TB.
Despite its smaller body, the X200s packs flagship-level cameras:
- 50 MP main
- 50 MP telephoto (3x optical zoom)
- 50 MP ultra-wide
- Plus a 32 MP selfie camera
The highlight is its 6,200 mAh battery, setting a new benchmark in Vivo’s history. It supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, ensuring quick top-ups even with such a massive cell.
Additional features include 360-degree NFC, advanced cooling with a vapor chamber, improved antenna design, and smart AI tools like spam call filters and a “Circle to Search” function similar to Google Lens.
The Vivo X200s is available for pre-order in Black, White, Green, and Lavender Purple, starting at CNY 4,199 (~$575). First sales begin on April 25, but like the Ultra, it’s unlikely to launch globally.
Conclusion
Both the Vivo X200 Ultra and Vivo X200s mark a significant leap in mobile imaging and battery technology. While the X200 Ultra redefines mobile photography with its dual ISPs and optional lens system, the X200s steals the spotlight with a class-leading battery—all packed in a compact form factor. Though these phones are currently China-exclusive, they set a strong precedent for what the future of flagship smartphones could look like.
