The vivo X200 series has finally been released, and this time not only in the standard version and the Pro version, but also in a new Pro mini version, although it is smaller in size, is also classified on the Pro version. So the highlight of the vivo X200 was snatched away by the Pro mini? In my opinion, no, the performance of this standard version is still very strong.
Classic texture color matching, screen shape update
The exterior design of the vivo X200 is basically the same as that of the previous generation X100s series, with the "three-line love poem" under the lens module disappearing, making the entire back more tidy. Speaking of lens modules, this time the outer ring of the vivo X200 is finally a homogeneous design, which is really friendly to OCD, but the thickness is a little larger than that of the X100s series, and other icons such as the lens layout and Zeiss T* have not changed.
vivo X200's lens decoration ring adopts a polished and brushed process, and there is a laser carved lens logo on the top, and there is a circle of Paris studs around the decoration circle, and the details of vivo X200 are still very good.
In terms of color, vivo X200 has four colors: "Sapphire Blue", "Titanium", "White Moonlight" and "Midnight Black". This "titanium" is exactly the same as the titanium color of the X100s series, using frosted AG glass, which will be a little slippery on the hand, but the advantage is that it is not easy to stain fingerprints, which is a good review.
Coming to the front, vivo X200 adopts a full-class deep micro four-curve design, both in terms of look and feel, it is significantly improved compared with the previous straight screen or even a hyperboloid screen. Not only that, this ZEISS Master color screen has a full-link step on ZEISS natural colors, video viewing, game interaction, and even OS small icons have comprehensive color management and adjustment, the display effect is better, and the experience is more comfortable.
Not only that, the vivo X200 screen uses 8T backplane technology and supports 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which is more eye-friendly for daily use. The vivo X200 also adopts an industry-exclusive outdoor highlight, which can reach a local peak brightness of 4500nit in outdoor sunlight, which can be clearly seen whether you are reading articles or taking photos.
As a standard version, vivo X200's feel is naturally very important, the thickness of the whole machine is only 7.99mm, and the weight is only 205g.
The Dimensity 9400 flagship core surprises more than performance
In terms of performance, vivo X200 is equipped with the new Aquamarine x Dimensity 9400 flagship core, which adopts TSMC's third-generation 3nm process technology, and consists of a 3.62GHz Cortex-925 super core, three Cortex-X4 super cores, and four A720 large cores. While improving performance, it also effectively reduces power consumption, which is 40% lower than the previous generation, resulting in better energy efficiency.
The strong performance of this chip can only be seen more intuitively by the game performance. At room temperature of 25 degrees, adjust the screen brightness of the vivo X200 to 200nit. The average frame rate of Genshin Impact Sumeru City is 59.8 fps in half an hour, the frame rate graph performance is very stable, and the actual game experience is also very smooth. On top of that, the average power consumption of Genshin Impact in half an hour is only 4.7W, which is almost the same as that of Honor of Kings, which shows how powerful the Dimensity 9400 is.
Coming to Star Dome Railway, which has a larger GPU load, the average frame rate for the half-hour golden hour is 59.2 frames per second, and the average power consumption is 6.3W. This performance is really unexpected, and it also shows that the Dimensity 9400 can be very well scheduled for games, giving full play to the powerful performance of the flagship chip.
If you think that the Dimensity 9400 is only a performance boost, then you are underestimating this chip. vivo and MTK have jointly developed a new way of communication that is easier, farther and more economical, bringing the world's first kilometer-level networkless communication.
There is a "walkie-talkie" application on the mobile phone, which can be connected by Bluetooth to achieve ultra-long-distance intercom in a non-network environment, supporting SOS text broadcasting, one-to-one voice, text intercom and so on. Just like at the concert of 10,000 people, when too many people grab the Internet, you can use the "walkie-talkie" to easily chat with friends who are not around at the scene, which is still a very practical function.
OriginOS 5带来超多新玩法
The vivo X200 is equipped with the latest OriginOS 5 system, which brings a lot of new ways to play in terms of AI. The first is the "Atomic Notification", which has now become a new "Atomic Island", where some charging tips, device connections and other information will be displayed directly on the island, and it can also actively provide more AI service suggestions based on scheduled events and user habits, which is very convenient.
There is also a new practical way to play this "Atomic Island", which allows you to drag and hold the selected copy or picture onto this "island" to provide a quick jump service according to your needs. For example, you can drag pictures to the "Atomic Island" and directly transfer them to nearby friends, making it easy and convenient to share them.
In terms of animation, OriginOS 5's "Atomic Animation 5.0" optimizes and reconstructs the core scenes and animations. The most obvious detail in use is the drop-down notification bar, which on OriginOS 4 blurs the screen first, and then pops up the time information at the top. On OriginOS 5, the time display in the upper left corner is enlarged first, and then the date and day of the week are displayed at the same time.
OriginOS 5's lock screen customization has also been further upgraded, in addition to customizing the clock and components, you can also set two effects: "Colorful Photo Frame" and "Film Filter", which can further create your own lock screen interface.

In terms of AI, "Jovi Voice" and "Blue Heart V" are a strong combination, and there is a new way to make calls: in addition to the sidebar and long-press the power button, there are also new voices, two-finger long-press, or long-press the navigation bar at the bottom of the screen to make outgoing calls.
Not only that, "Blue Heart V" also adds a "Little V circle search" function, which is more convenient to use with a long press on the bottom navigation bar. After selecting the target, Blue Heart V will push relevant services according to the selected content, such as selecting the item will introduce the information of the item, and selecting the event will automatically create an event, which is still very convenient.
Let's talk a little about the image
The vivo X200's main camera is equipped with a 50-megapixel IMX921 sensor, which works with a Zeiss T* lens to give you better color reproduction. The telephoto uses a 50-megapixel IMX882 Zeiss super telephoto lens, and the ultra-wide-angle uses JN1, which is still good in terms of specifications.

It is worth mentioning that on the shooting interactive interface, there seem to be fewer modes to choose from in the "more" options, but in fact, it is "night scene", "panoramic photos", "time slow door" and other seven landscape-related functions are integrated into the "landscape mode", and the mobile phone will match the corresponding effect according to the current shooting environment.
In portrait mode, the vivo X200 doesn't have the new 135mm native focal length of the Pro version, but the 85mm and 100mm focal lengths can also bring good portrait performance, and the bokeh effect is also very good.

summary
The vivo X200 retains the characteristics of the standard version of "thin and light", and with the blessing of the Dimensity 9400, it brings performance and energy efficiency comparable to that of gaming phones. The new OriginOS 5 empowers vivo X200 with a host of AI features, every one of which is a great way to impress you. In terms of image performance, the vivo X200 can still perform steadily, and the new "Scenery Mode" can also make shooting more convenient.
Although the vivo X200 Pro mini does have a higher level of attention, this standard version of vivo X200 has a flagship experience that surpasses the "standard version", whether it is the powerful AI functions brought by OriginOS 5 or the comfortable look and feel brought by the fully contoured quad curved screen, and it has a more affordable price than Pro mini, which is still very recommendable.
