Reports have claimed that the Vivo X200 series will include multiple models. It has been reported that a new model with a compact form factor will be available. Today, Jia Jingdong, Vivo’s Vice President and General Manager of Brand and Product Strategy, officially confirmed the existence of a device named the Vivo X200 Pro Mini.
As can be seen, Jia Jingdong composed the above Weibo post using the Vivo X200 Pro Mini device. According to a Weibo post by well-known leaker Digital Chat Station, the X200 Pro Mini will be a smaller version of the X200 Pro. This suggests that both phones may have the same internals. However, being a smaller model, the X200 Pro Mini will have a compact screen of around 6.3 inches and a smaller battery, which is said to be 5,500mAh.
Sony has just launched a new camera sensor named the LYT-818. According to leaker Experience More, the said camera will be first seen as the primary camera for the Vivo X200 Pro and X200 Pro Mini.
This sensor features a 50-megapixel resolution with a 1/1.28-inch size, offering a wider dynamic range and higher signal-to-noise ratio, manufactured using a 22nm process for lower power consumption.
It appears that the Sony IMX882 will be the periscope telephoto camera on the X200 Pro Mini, whereas the X200 Pro may come equipped with the 200-megapixel Samsung HP9 periscope telephoto camera. Both devices may feature the Vivo V3 and V3+ image processing chips, respectively.
The entire Vivo X200 series will have the Dimensity 9400 chip, but the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4-powered X200 Ultra is expected to launch in Q1 2025. The other models are likely to launch on Oct.14 in China.
