vivo’s dazzling X200 launch in Beijing is a sneak peek at the future of phone camera tech

On October 14, 2024, mobile tech company vivo hosted a spectacular global launch for its flagship X200 series at the iconic National Aquatics Center, also known as the Water Cube, in Beijing, China. The event gave all attendees an exclusive opportunity to preview and experience the cutting-edge features of the new smartphones, and they have been nothing short of mind-blowing.

X200 Series: An overview

The vivo X200 series comprises three models specifically designed for the China market: the standard vivo X200, the X200 Pro, and the X200 Pro Mini. Each device showcases a blend of innovation and sophistication, setting new benchmarks in smartphone technology.

Enhanced user experience

At the heart of the X200 series is Origin OS 5, a mobile operating system that promises a smoother and more intuitive user experience than its predecessors. Swiping on the apps feels almost like “gliding” through virtual elements. One of the standout features powered by AI is “Circle What You Don’t Know,” a custom version of Circle to Search. This functionality allows users to highlight a section of an image and instantly look it up online, transforming the way users interact with their photos. It’s like having a personal assistant in your pocket, always available to provide the information you need right at your fingertips.

This is possibly where vivo shines the brightest–the mobile tech giant has collaborated with MediaTek to integrate the advanced Dimensity 9400 chipset into the X200 series, complemented by ARM’s powerful Cortex-X925 CPU. The devices can be configured with up to 16GB of RAM and a substantial 1TB of internal storage, catering to the needs of power users and multitaskers.

A notable innovation is the network-free communication feature co-developed with MediaTek, enabling users to send messages over a certain distance without cellular service. This emergency feature supports SOS text transmission and location sharing, highlighting vivo’s commitment to enhancing safety and connectivity.

Battery life that can run for days

The X200 series is designed for longevity, featuring Vivo’s Blue Volt battery technology. The X200 is equipped with a robust 5,800mAh battery, the X200 Pro Mini with a 5,700mAh battery, and the X200 Pro boasts an impressive 6,000mAh capacity. Each model supports 90W wired fast charging, ensuring users can stay powered throughout the day.
