The vivo X200s Leaks: Straight Screen, Massive Battery, and IMX8823X Periscope Telephoto Lens

Last month, vivo launched the highly anticipated vivo X200 series, comprising the vivo X200, X200 Pro, and X200 Pro Mini. Recently, news about a successor has begun to surface. A well-known digital blogger, @DigitalChatStation, revealed that a new vivo phone powered by a slightly upgraded Dimensity 9400S processor is under development. This new device, widely speculated to be the vivo X200s, is rumored to boast significant upgrades in both design and hardware.

Leaks suggest the vivo X200s engineering model features a 6.67-inch 1.5K+ 120Hz LTPS flat display with narrow bezels, encased in a metal frame and glass body. The switch to a flat screen signifies a departure from the vivo X200's curved display, offering a more purist experience for straight-screen enthusiasts. The higher refresh rate promises smoother operation and enhanced visual comfort. The 1.5K resolution balances clarity and visual appeal while managing power consumption for improved battery life.

In terms of imaging, the vivo X200s will reportedly sport a triple rear camera setup: 50MP + 50MP + 50MP, including an IMX8823X periscope telephoto lens. The three 50MP cameras underscore vivo's focus on photography. The IMX8823X sensor, as a periscope telephoto lens, should offer enhanced telephoto capabilities and superior image quality. A direct comparison with the Zeiss super-telephoto lens (using the same sensor specification) found in the vivo X200 series will require further testing and reviews.

Regarding battery life, the vivo X200s is expected to house a massive ~6000mAh silicon-anode battery with support for up to 90W fast charging. This significantly improves battery life, potentially lasting for a full day or more. The 90W fast charging allows for quick replenishment, minimizing wait times. The use of silicon-anode battery technology suggests improvements in energy density, allowing a larger battery capacity in a similar form factor.

Notably, fingerprint recognition and wireless charging for the vivo X200s are still under testing. The final version will likely incorporate either 3D ultrasonic fingerprint recognition or wireless charging. 3D ultrasonic fingerprint technology offers faster and more secure unlocking, while wireless charging provides a more convenient charging method. Both represent advanced technologies in the smartphone industry, and vivo's choice will impact the user experience.

Compared to the vivo X200 (which features a 6.67-inch 28001260 OLED curved screen, 2160Hz PWM & quasi-DC dimming, Dimensity 9400 processor, 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 50MP Zeiss super-telephoto lens, 5800mAh battery, 90W fast charging, OTG reverse charging, under-display optical fingerprint scanner, and features like the Global Signal Amplification System 2.0 and kilometer-level off-grid communication, starting at 4299), the vivo X200s offers improvements in screen design, battery capacity, and charging speed. The flat screen design, larger battery and faster charging promise a superior battery life experience.

However, it is crucial to remember that the above information is based on online leaks. The final specifications and design of the vivo X200s are yet to be officially confirmed. The device is currently in the engineering stage, and specifications and design may be subject to change.

Aside from the vivo X200s leaks, @DigitalChatStation also shared updates on vivo's next-generation large-screen foldable phone. This phone, slated for release next year, will reportedly focus on extreme thinness, featuring a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor, approximately a 6000mAh battery with wireless charging, and IPX8 water and dust resistance. It will also boast dual ultrasonic fingerprint unlock modules and a three-stage physical button. The triple rear camera system will comprise three 50MP cameras, including one periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom.

Compared to its predecessors, the vivo XFold3 and vivo XFold3 Pro, the next-generation foldable phone boasts upgrades in processor, battery, water resistance, and fingerprint unlocking.

In conclusion, vivo continues to be a strong player in the smartphone market. Both the iterative upgrades to the X200 series and the development of the next-generation foldable phone demonstrate its technological prowess and innovation. Consumers can anticipate more exciting products from vivo in the future. However, it bears repeating that all information is based on online leaks, and final product details are subject to official announcements.
