With the release date of MediaTek's flagship Dimensity 9400 chip approaching, vivo has officially begun teasing its new flagship smartphone series the vivo X200. Recently, vivo product manager, Han Bo, shared a real-life photo of the X200 standard version's front, stating that it adopts an ultra-narrow bezel design with a full-depth micro-quad curve. He added, "It balances the experience of a straight screen with the aesthetic appeal of a curved screen, making it possibly the best in terms of feel." Previously, Han Bo had already announced the X200 standard version's rear appearance. From the images, it's clear that the new phone will come in at least two colors, blue and white, and features a "water ripple cloud step" design with a subtle wave texture. This texture is said to create different visual effects under various angles and lighting conditions. The rear camera module is a large circular DECO with a black protrusion, encircled by a metallic decorative ring. The module features a blue "ZEISS" logo and a flash light placed at the top right corner of the phone.

It is reported that the vivo X200 series will launch four new models: the X200, X200 Pro, X200 Pro Satellite Communication Edition, and the X200 Pro mini. All models will be equipped with large battery solutions and are expected to adopt the same glass fiber material found in the vivo XFold3 to reduce weight and thickness. The vivo X200 will feature a 6.4-6.5-inch 1.5K domestically customized four-narrow-edge screen, available in black, white, blue, and pink. The Pro version will boast a 6.82-inch 2K+120Hz 8TLTPO full-depth quad-curved screen, supporting single-point ultrasonic technology, and will be available in black, white, and blue.

For the newly launched vivo X200 Pro mini, Han Bo recently released a set of comparison images with the iPhone 16 Pro. He mentioned that compared to the iPhone 16 Pro, the X200 Pro mini has the same length and width, but is thinner and has a larger battery capacity than the Pro Max. For reference, the iPhone 16 Pro has a 6.3-inch screen, is 71.5mm wide, 8.25mm thick, and 149.6mm long. The iPhone 16 Pro Max has a 4685mAh battery. Therefore, the vivo X200 Pro mini is expected to combine a compact screen with enhanced battery life and photography capabilities.

Based on previous leaks, the vivo X200 Pro and Pro mini versions are expected to feature a 50-megapixel full-focal length triple-camera system, potentially equipped with a 200-megapixel large-bottom periscope lens. The standard version will include a Sony-customized extra-large-bottom main camera, a 3x medium-bottom telephoto lens, and an ultra-wide-angle lens. vivo officials have previously stated that the X200 series will feature a self-developed BlueMap image sensor for the first time. This sensor utilizes a 22nm process technology and integrates various technologies based on a 1 billion parameter large model. According to the information provided, the new sensor and self-developed imaging chip will significantly improve the performance of the X200 series in night, portrait, telephoto, and video shooting scenarios.

In terms of performance, the Dimensity 9400 processor supports hardware-level ray tracing, with ray tracing performance nearly 20% higher than its predecessor. Utilizing new mobile ray tracing technology, it can achieve similar effects as the PC-side OMM (Opacity MicroMap) technology. Furthermore, the Dimensity 9400's NPU computing power is improved by approximately 40% compared to its predecessor, CPU single-core performance is increased by over 30%, and power consumption is reduced by 25%. Industry insiders revealed that this chip is expected to more efficiently and smoothly handle complex tasks, run large applications and games, enhance the overall performance of smartphones, extend battery life, and provide users with better control and real-time AI experiences.

It is reported that MediaTek's new flagship Dimensity 9400 chip will officially be released on October 9th. Five days later (October 14th), the vivo X200 series will be unveiled as the launch model. We'll have to wait to see how it performs in the real world.
