Creating the best camera smartphones has always been an expertise of vivo, and the latest addition to its flagship X series, the standout X200, is no exception. Once again collaborating with ZEISS to optimize lenses for pro-level photography and video recording, vivo makes sure that even newbies can snap the best shots with a combination of impressive hardware and software to do the heavy lifting.

While the X200 series features two models—a Pro version and the base variant, both deliver performances that are almost close to each other, save for a few differences like the Pro’s more massive 200MP telephoto lens and more powerful main camera sensor. So for a more comprehensive introduction to the X200 series, we’re spotlighting the X200’s base model and its impressive features that make it a must-have camera smartphone.

Power-packed cameras

Even at first glance, vivo X200 makes its focus on photography known with a distinctive rear panel design that features a large round module encasing its powerful camera lenses—a look reminiscent of classic digital cameras. Its triple camera system is comprised of the following: a 50MP ZEISS telephoto camera with a SONY IMX882 sensor, a 50MP VCS True Color main camera with a SONY IMX921 sensor, and a 50MP ZEISS ultra wide-angle camera.

All three deliver flagship-level performance, and among the qualities that will surely delight those with a keen eye for photography is the phone’s wide range of focal length options—a crucial feature for framing the best shots. Its main camera mainly stands out for its ability to handle low-light conditions, giving impressive lighting balance, keeping color depth and vibrancy, and ensuring sharpness and clarity even for photos taken at night.

Concertgoers are also in for a treat with the vivo X200’s advanced telephoto system, which supports up to 100x HyperZoom. This produces highly detailed photos, as if they were captured from the front rows. The 50MP ZEISS telephoto camera is also capable of taking beautiful Portrait, Landscape, and Macro shots, perfect for those who enjoy flexibility in their photography experience.

As another highlight of its team-up with ZEISS in co-engineering the X200’s lenses, vivo packs a wide variety of built-in ZEISS portraits and bokeh styles to level up your snapshots. Unlike the latest trend in camera smartphones though, the vivo X200 doesn’t integrate AI much in boosting image touch-ups aside from AI Photo Enhance for photo clarity and AI Erase. Its 32MP front camera also leaves room for improvement, especially with the absence of autofocus and for selfies taken under low-light conditions.

Snappy performance

Despite the big focus on photography features, the vivo X200 doesn’t skimp on performance with its MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. Featuring next-gen CPU architecture, it lets the X200 operate seamlessly and efficiently without draining or overheating its battery. It can also handle gaming and heavy tasks quite well, thanks to its reliable processor and thermals. 

The vivo X200’s 6.67-inch OLED Display is also an important feature to note—as its Smart Eye Protection offerings lessen the strain and add comfort for your eyes during long gaming, streaming, or working sessions. It has high-frequency 2160 Hz PWM dimming to minimize flicker, Smart Eye Protection Mode 3.0, Night Eye Protection Mode 2.0, and scenario-based brightness adjustment.

Its high-capacity 5800mAh battery with 90W FlashCharge also contributes to its reliable performance, as it is an industry-first 3rd-gen Silicon Anode Battery with lasting endurance even in harsh weather conditions. Speaking of weather, vivo X200 also has IP68 and IP69-certified water and dust resistance reinforcing its durability amid different environmental conditions.

As for productivity, the FunTouch OS 15 may help speed up some tasks with its AI-powered offerings like AI Note Assist, AI Transcript Assist, real-time vivo Live Call Translation, and Circle to Search with Google.

Overall, the vivo X200 is an excellent match for those who want an impressive camera phone with a durable build and reliable performance. Get the vivo X200 now for P57,999 at vivo physical stores, vivo e-store, Shopee, Lazada, and authorized retail stores nationwide.
