Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

preface

The vivo X200 series is coming, some people are looking forward to it, some people are waiting to see the situation, some people have been thinking about it for a long time, and some people are relieved. No matter what kind of mood, after all, the change of generations has been achieved in an atmosphere of praise and expectation, and this scene is an affirmation of vivo. Objectively speaking, the vivo X200 series is a great contribution to the perfect image created by its predecessor vivo X100 series (including the X100s series). Of course, because of the latter's perfect performance in its target audience, the new work has a very high popularity, but it will also inevitably experience more difficult pressure to "go to the next level", both tangible and invisible.

We know that vivo is not afraid of pressure, but sometimes we hope that it can express more "restrained art", otherwise, we are only afraid of "how to 'roll' the next generation of fantasy X"?

No further ado. Compared with last year's vivo X100 series, which pulled the vivo X product series to a higher product power dimension, this year's vivo X200 series came a little earlier, and it will meet you in October. The reason for this is mainly based on the rhythm of the annual flagship chip, which is also reasonable. In itself, for a brand like vivo that can participate in the entire industrial chain throughout the whole process, the initiative is still very clear in the release rhythm, whether it is a high-end flagship or a model with terminal volume. Moreover, the competitive situation in the market also determines that the vivo X200 series must be debuted with "well-prepared results and confidence", because this is more related to vivo's "greater rhythm" in the mobile phone market in 2025.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

At the same time, the entire vivo X100 series and the vivo X200 series have a clear relationship of "inheritance and evolution of the same system" (from the perspective of the overall architecture extension to the generational progression of specific indicator configuration). Figuring out this is helpful for us to understand the mission and upcoming goals of the vivo X200 series in 2025, as well as how it realizes the product power shaping of "one super and multiple functions".

Not long ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, vivo officially released a close-up of the moon taken by vivo X200, which was quite amazing. Back in May, when we talked about the vivo X100s series and the vivo X100 Ultra, we had already emphasized that "vivo will definitely use the 100% image charm built by the X100 system to start the next decade", which is a good thing for consumers." Today, it seems that the baton of rebuilding new achievements has been handed over.

What's more, the so-called "looking at the clouds, there are real people", Cao Zhi's artistic conception in "Mo Shang Sang" fits into a scientific and technological product in the dark, which itself is full of wonderful flavor - the immortals we can see high in the sky, in the heart and in the eyes, in the heart and in the eyes, in the vivo X200 series can create the image world, fortunately concrete, with the theme.

In addition, vivo's definition of "forge ahead" has always been built on the word "steady" (the restrained art based on strength), coupled with the technical level and the full opening of the AI large model system, the X200 series can perfectly continue the X100 series to achieve the realistic value and historical mission of "defining new mobile images by blue factories". In this way, the name of the previous "smartest imaging flagship" can also continue to bring us an annual performance of "200% creating dreams X" on the vivo X200 series - it belongs to 2024 and 2025.

Editor's note: From vivo's planning and the practice of the previous generation, it can be seen that this X200 series is still only the "medium cup" vivo X200 and the "big cup" vivo X200 Pro, and has added a small vertical screen version model that the public has been thinking aboutvivo X200 Pro mini, realizing the experience of "mini image magic box" (some people also call it "the strongest Android small vertical screen flagship in the new season", in order to echo the next "new season's strongest performance Android large vertical screen flagship" iQOO 13 series, about the latter topic, we will talk about it in a separate topic).

From the perspective of configuration, the difference between the image components is the most obvious. The vivo X200 Pro has a joint blueprint × Sony LYT-818 and the 200 million-pixel Zeiss APO super telephoto HP9, which is not only a reason to attract old customers of vivo X models to change their phones, but also a reason to gain an advantage in the competition of the same grade. In addition, the larger vivo X200 Pro has more blueprint image chip V3+ than the standard model, and the larger screen is also equipped with armor glass and 3D ultrasonic single-point fingerprint. By the way, the X200 Pro is also available in a separate satellite version.

Obviously, like the X90 standard version or the X100 standard version, the X200 standard version also has a clear stacking direction, and if the comprehensive product power is used to benchmark against competing products, it is still a "medium cup to large cup" strategy. As for the subsequent Ultra version, you will need to wait until 2025 to see it.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

We can understand it this way, from the X90 series to the X100 series, the delivery of this baton, in addition to the reality of technological breakthroughs, is also full of a sense of responsibility and mission. From the X100 series to the X200 series, it is the result of vivo's comprehensive deconstruction and re-understanding of new mobile intelligence, humanistic optical photography, and self-developed image algorithms, which is a concrete expression of "perseverance and innovation".

It can be seen that without the slightest perfunctory "sticking to the change of platform generation and following the step-by-step", vivo X200 series will be another impeccable image festival based on absolute strength after the X100 series of "dream 100 points".

The firm "blue energy is precious" X solution for continuous high-end

In the past few years, many brands have not gone smoothly on the high-end route because "high-end models are not high-end enough", but in fact, the crux of this problem lies in the unclear goal of the configuration of "sub-level models" - since you can get a similar experience by buying the standard version, why spend more money, this is the mentality of a larger proportion of consumers. However, the solution to this problem is not to reverse the operation to "in this case, then reduce the configuration of the standard model of the same series". If it is so simple and crude, the brand will definitely be complained by the public that it is "unintelligent and insincere".

vivo obviously understands this truth and knows how to solve this problem. The key to solving the problem is to constantly innovate what you are good at, and to have perseverance. "Image", an element that everyone has devoted all their efforts to, vivo's "self-developed pattern" is particularly unique. From a certain point of view, vivo and Zeiss announced the joint launch of the "big optics strategy", that is, in addition to creating the strongest image optics, the layout of multiple application optics such as computational optics is a specific manifestation of vivo's self-developed image pattern (of course, not limited to this). It can also be said that vivo is "promoting high-end with image pattern", and the more creative and imaginative physical objects are "started" from the vivo X100 series and "inherited" by the vivo X200 series.

In fact, a simple criterion for evaluating whether the high-end route of a mobile phone brand is successful is to see whether it can successfully create a high-end mobile phone at the explosive level for three consecutive years. The X100 high-end series, which sold more than 1 billion yuan for the first time last year, became the first high-end product that really sold out of vivo, and also opened vivo's subsequent high-end layout. Among them, the development of vivo's self-developed image pattern, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, has played a great role in promoting.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

And so it is. To continue the results of last year's "100-point X100 series", vivo's "X ultimate" must have a surprising and natural taste. For example, unlike the previous year's X90 series "dual flagship platform", today's X200 series maintains the product layout of the X100 series, building its own image flagship system with the extremely powerful Dimensity flagship platform, supplemented by the expected self-developed image chip that has been re-strengthened and the updated "blueprint image" system of deep tuning, so that the personality of the image can be fully released, and the charm of the image is "blue and valuable".

Speaking of which, vivo's 2024 is indeed very fierce, so fierce that the public has added a lot of confidence to its high-end strategy (the bottoming of the overall good results is the source of confidence for any head brand). Judging from the data of Q2 in 2024, vivo easily won the first place in the domestic market with a market share of 20%, directly leaving behind several friends. In fact, its data of more than 17% in Q1 2024 is also confident. The general view in the industry is: first, the sincerity of the configuration of each series of models is enough to the top, and it can completely gain online and offline reputation; Second, OriginOS has been updated for several generations, and the overall experience is very powerful. Third, vivo's deconstruction, definition, and reshaping of "moving images" have achieved results that have been recognized by the public.

When vivo is based on the blue technology that deeply cultivates the underlying technology, and carries out differentiated and warm innovation around user needs in the four long tracks of image, performance, system, design and AI and other innovative fields, the high-end bureau of "blue energy, precious" is really concretized - this is also the practical significance of the existence of the vivo X200 series of "far away, not only image".

Image Matrix Thanos-level new chapter "Blue Energy is precious" professional moving image

Once again, we have singled out the chapter "How to Present the Image Perfectly" at the forefront of the topic, which has been the case since the vivo X70 series, because this is the fundamental competitiveness of the vivo X product series to continue to stand in the high-end market.

The inevitability of this is the inevitability of homeopathy. First, the vision of vivo X product series to shape the "new decade" is very strong, starting from 2020, when vivo's activities with the theme of imaging strategy, technology and cooperation have never stopped, and it is precisely during that period that we have witnessed the transformation of vivo X series imaging flagship from X50 series to the current X100 series of six generations of works and the full harvest of word of mouth. Second, although before the official release, some self-media have exposed many indicators of the vivo X200 series, but only when you really get the real thing, can you really feel vivo's new understanding of the "mystery of X-image". In other words, how to give it a new, dynamic development and grasp the essence of the product generation change sincerity, vivo is very thoughtful.

It is often said in the industry that in the long-term research and development of the four tracks of "image, design, performance, and system" formulated by vivo (and now the AI innovation track has been added), the achievements of imaging are particularly prominent, and the X product series is the most vividly reflected in it. Starting with the X70 series and even from the earlier X50 series, vivo has been gradually giving them new elements and competitiveness. For example, use "differentiation" to benchmark the flagship of the competition, and emphasize the details of "winning across the board", such as platform elements. The previous year's X90 series and last year's X100 series have raised the "color and art shuangquan" to a new and difficult to compete - and effectively continued the market influence it created with derivative models. Therefore, before today, we also naturally had a sense of apprehension, worried that vivo would "mess up" the X200 series, and worried that it "can't do better than 100 full scores, that is, lose". After all, the most difficult thing to surpass is the challenge that you have left for yourself, and the easiest thing to "collapse" is that you are trapped to death by your own high standards.

Fortunately, vivo is very sure. Obviously, vivo is very competitive.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

On the one hand, vivo X200 Pro relies on the configuration of the hardware layer such as the blueprint × Sony LYT-818 main camera, Zeiss 200 million APO super telephoto, new 135mm telephoto portrait, new telephoto portrait motion capture (and consolidates the "concert artifact" experience created by the X100S series) and other hardware layers, realizes large-scale model image quality enhancement technology and new scenery mode, and completes the "full 4K" (4K backlit portrait video, 4K 120fps movie slow motion, 4K 60fps Dolby Vision) recording capability.

On the other hand, the vivo X200 also has a ZEISS Super Telephoto and Super Sensitive VCS Bionic main camera, which completes the shooting of ZEISS full-range portraits, new scenery mode, Live Photo dynamic photos, etc.

vivo defines them as "Ultra-level image Thanos" and "Pro-level image Thanos" respectively. From this, it can really be seen that vivo is confident in its own image full-link capability - using the Pro level to carry the Ultra level of competing products, and using the standard version to carry the Pro level of competing products, this kind of "half a level higher" gameplay has been proven feasible in the X100 series (including the X100S series) in the market. As an aside, this also makes us look forward to what kind of "Super-level Thanos" status the "vivo X200 Ultra" will be in 2025, and we will talk about it then.

Things also get interesting from a vertical point of view. A year ago, vivo gave vivo X100 Pro's comprehensive definition as "challenging the professional innovation of mobile imaging", while for the X100 standard version, it emphasized "interpreting the charm of 'full score standard version'". A year later, vivo defined the vivo X200 Pro more directly, that is, "with the blessing of blue technology, with the flagship strength of 'one super and multiple functions', it will create a flagship benchmark in 2024". As for vivo X200, it is "a Pro-level flagship image experience with the blessing of blueprint images and vivo's self-developed algorithm matrix", and in this way, it completes the goal of "the strongest standard version of the year". The interesting thing about this is that after obtaining real market feedback from the X100 series for a year, vivo's understanding of "how to perfectly present images" has become more and more proficient and concrete. In other words, vivo is increasingly understanding how to give the public a flagship mobile phone that "directly meets just needs".

Indeed, as a flagship series that has been in its twelfth year for ten years, the vivo X product line has insisted on achieving innovation and breakthroughs in the field of professional imaging with each generation, and continues to lead the exploration of imaging technology for domestic mobile phone flagships. Therefore, the X200 series has replaced the X100 series after nearly a year to become the strong and exquisite successor of the X product line.

If we do not disappoint, we must have more innovative "hope" than before, so that everything is not empty talk. First, the "blue-blue combination" between "vivo" and "ZEISS" is precisely the driving force for this continuous promotion of image innovation; Second, more decentralised configurations make the X200 series more confident in surpassing itself and shaping a new peak of professional imaging.

The technical inheritance of the self-developed image pattern "blue energy is valuable".

Algorithms are king, and everyone knows it. With a powerful processor platform and ISP, the importance of algorithms is even more obvious. Otherwise, why is it that "every family can buy vegetables, but the dishes they can make are different". After several years of iteration of technology and products, vivo has a huge technical system for these elements, and it has also reached a position that is enough to compete for hegemony in mobile phone images, "we have everything". Over the years, we have repeatedly emphasized that the three "comparisons" of "comparable to professional imaging equipment", "comparable to professional imaging team" and "comparable to professional post-production capabilities" are the best summary of its full-link self-developed imaging technology pattern.

After talking about "optics",Naturally, we have to talk about"Computing power",These are the two legs of mobile phone images,When we did the vivo X90 series topic,The vivo self-developed image chip that is standard in the whole systemV2 is the first topic of the article,Because"Computing power"The meaning is very。 And today's analysis of vivo X200 series, especially vivo X200 Pro, we still start with this topic, because "self-development" is now something that our Chinese brands, especially head brands like vivo, must devote great efforts to, and if there are results, they must be carried out well - just like talking about the self-developed image chip V3 on X100 Pro a year ago.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

It is not difficult for careful people to find that we have repeatedly emphasized that vivo X200 Pro has the ability of "Ultra-level Thanos image", which can be roughly summarized in two points: Zeiss 200 million pixel APO super telephoto lens and blueprint image chip V3+. And these are the trump cards from the vivo X100 Ultra.

A few months ago, when we were talking about the vivo X100 Ultra, we were very detailed in the deconstruction of the Blueprint image chip V3+, so I won't expand too much here. You just need to remember that this blueprint image chip V3+ is a new 6nm process ISP, which is vivo's confidence to make portrait video enter the 4K era. As can be seen from the name,It is compared to X100 Pro's self-developed image chipV3It is upgraded,Also based on"Newly designed multi-concurrent AI perception-ISP architecture and the second generation FIT interconnection system",The main focus is reflected in the overall improvement of stage video recording effect。

The Blueprint Image Chip V3+ works with vivo's exclusive self-developed algorithm, so that the X200 Pro can overcome all kinds of shooting problems in stage scenes like the X100 Ultra, and achieve the best shooting results regardless of basic shooting or stage portrait shooting. Especially for video shooting, it gives the X200 Pro a powerful 4K backlit portrait recording capability.

In addition, it is deeply optimized for stage shooting at 20X focal length with the ZEISS 200 million APO Super Telephoto, allowing us to freeze the moment at any time while enjoying the performance. We'll talk about that in a later chapter.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

When it comes to the different performance of the Blueprint Image Chip V3+ on the X200 Pro and X100 Ultra, theoretically speaking, the former Dimensity 9400 and the Blueprint Image Chip V3+ should have stronger dual-core synergistic explosiveness.

Going deeper, adhering to the image concept jointly developed by vivo Zeiss, the blueprint image exclusive to the X series fully integrates the technical achievements of "vivo self-research" and "Zeiss co-research", representing the highest standard of technology and experience between the two parties. It can also be said that vivo X200 Pro is another "self-developed" masterpiece of vivo blueprint imaging technology after vivo X100 Ultra, and it is also a "co-research" milestone with optical pioneer Zeiss, and it is also the "pinnacle work" completed by vivo and the supply chain.

vivo X200 Pro "can only beat its own Ultra version"

Now let's talk about the comprehensive image shooting capabilities of the vivo X200 series models. No matter what kind of high and low collocation, this "high and low difference" is also the difference between each other in the same series, and externally, it is a strong "image matrix".

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

On the topic of "image matrix", the first thing that is clear is that "a high-level hardware system is the basis for achieving high-level image performance". In this link,In addition to the aforementioned blueprint image chipV3+,There are several exclusive configurations that belong to X200 ProIt is very important,Around them,We can talk about the image strength of X200 Pro。 Thinking back to the previous generation X100 Pro, this moment is just as good as that moment.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

One is the choice of the main camera. It is often said in the industry that the ultimate hardware stacking is the first choice of mobile phone manufacturers in the competition for image quality, and the clearest statement in this is that "the bottom is the king". When we first experienced the vivo X90 Pro+ and Pro versions, we were very impressed by their "one-inch sensor IMX989", and in the following year, the "glorious achievements of IMX989" have been circulating in the mobile phone circle, and vivo and friends have contributed a lot. With such a good foundation, it is natural to continue to squeeze the potential, so then the X100 Pro continued to use this super-large sensor as the main camera, and let vivo give it many new definitions - precision jump technology, the newly upgraded Zeiss T* coating (in the lens of vivo X100 Pro, a composite multi-layer nanocrystalline coating and an extremely hard AR coating are used, and with IRCF pigment spin coating, it has become the most advanced coating solution at present), and a new OIS anti-shake system......

However, when it came to the X200 Pro, the IMX989 outsole did not continue to be used (indeed, it has already been used by two generations of models), but changed to a new jointly defined blueprint × Sony LYT-818 outsole. In vivo's words, it's "1 inch for taking pictures, and 1 inch for video."

In terms of indicators, the 50 million pixel LYT-818 is a 22nm process technology, with an image sensor of 1/1.28 inch and a maximum aperture of f/1.57. Featuring ZEISS T* coating and 7P lenses (including the first deep-absorption blue glass), VCS Bionic Spectrum upgraded to 3.0 with precision jumps and CIPA 4.5 professional-grade image stabilization.

Compared with the IMX989 on the X100 Pro, today's blueprint × Sony LYT-818 main camera, which has been greatly improved in terms of maximum aperture, working power consumption, 60fps HDR video shooting, etc., and the lens configuration is also a little extravagant.

Second, the telephoto end has a huge advantage. The X200 Pro uses the most talked-about Zeiss 200-million-pixel APO super telephoto HP9 on the X100 Ultra, which has been mentioned repeatedly above. Its sensor is the industry's first sensor HP9, which is customized by vivo's software and hardware integration. With a focal length of 85mm, 200 million pixels, f/2.67, it is an ultra-high pixel grouping periscope module and floating lens group design, which also has AOA technology. Overall, this super telephoto lens has the industry's largest bottom, the largest module, the highest motor control accuracy, and the industry's strongest CIPA 4.5 image stabilization. It is the hardware bottom layer of X200 Pro and X100 Ultra to complete the "telephoto stage", "telephoto macro", "telephoto sun" and "85mm high-pixel close-up".

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras
Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The X200 Pro features a new 135mm telephoto portrait, which complements the previous X100 series, including the X100 Ultra, which did not have a full focal length for portraits

At this point, we still need to talk about it. As the focus of this comprehensive imaging capability, vivo X200 Pro has the same "stage mode" shooting capability as vivo X100 Ultra, which is still the only one in the industry. This 200 million pixel Zeiss APO super telephoto HP9 can not only achieve 100X farthest zoom, but also achieve remote shooting of concert scenes up to 30X and 10X remote shooting effect of best imaging (when the camera APP is opened in stage scenes such as concerts and music festivals, and zoom to high magnification in ordinary "photo" mode, such as 10X~30X telephoto, the mobile phone will automatically recognize the stage scene and take effect optimization).

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The high-pixel outsole allows the "Stage Mode" to have great redundancy in image quality adjustments

After all, the 200-million-pixel telephoto lens can be digitally cropped to continue to provide lossless zoom (plenty of room for cropping) in addition to optical zoom. Through algorithm optimization, the measured vivo X200 Pro's image quality is still lossless at 14.8X focal length, which has significantly exceeded the 10X~12X lossless zoom capability provided by many competing Ultra image flagships, showing a leading posture - to say that the "blue" mountains are small, no one can refute it, right?

What's more,X200 ProThe algorithm has been further optimized for the complexity of the concert light and the movement frequency amplitude of the subject,Compared with X100 Ultra, it is not inferior,Especially the control of the light source in the picture is surprisingly good,Even if the ISO has been pulled to the level of 4000+,The purity of the picture is still very good,The production rate is stable。 In this way, it is completely worthy of the sentence "easily capture every wonderful moment, and make every stage photo of idols become art".

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The "Stage Mode" is easy to switch between taking photos and videos

At the same time, with the synergy between the Dimensity 9400 and the Blueprint image chip V3+ dual-core, the X200 Pro can also realize a new and upgraded video recording super-resolution algorithm that can be turned on at 9X or more in dark night scenes and 14X under ROI, improving the clarity of stage images recorded at high magnification and making night scenes more detailed.

In this regard,You can also understand it this way:The Pro version of this new X really surpasses the Ultra version of the previous generationX,vivo said"Achieve a new peak of professional mobile imaging"It's very real,"Spend a pen,You can get a camera、VCR、Mobile phone"It's true。 Speaking of which, we can't help but look forward to "how the X200 Ultra will stack up after that".

Third, the new telephoto 135mm portrait mode (in portrait mode, select [135mm telephoto end shooting]). The X200 Pro features a new 135mm telephoto portrait, which complements the previous X100 series, including the X100 Ultra, which did not have a full focal length for portraits. From the perspective of telephoto space perspective and picture compression, the 135mm telephoto can bring excellent subject performance, shorten the distance between the character and the background, make the subject prominent, the picture is pure, the blur is beautiful, and the composition is convenient...... These points are understood by photographers who play with cameras, and ordinary users who do not play with cameras can look at the price of the 135mm prime lens of SLR cameras, and it will be clear.

In terms of algorithm optimization, vivo has prepared for X200 Pro the exclusive ability of "new telephoto portrait motion capture". It belongs to the portrait mode, and the newly developed dual-stream motion algorithm (including NICE image quality engine, portrait bokeh algorithm, and intelligent focus tracking system) improves the shutter speed by 4-6 stops on the basis of ensuring clear and lossless image quality, and provides us with better zero delay, focus fixing, and motion bokeh effects (portrait mode telephoto 85mm, 135mm also support motion capture capabilities). The advantages of this algorithm, combined with the support of the hardware layer, allow us to easily say goodbye to the super telephoto hand shake paste, in which zero delay records the freedom and joy of travel and the beautiful moments of children, combined with the beautification and bokeh functions in portrait mode, you can easily capture every moving moment with just one click of shooting.

In addition, vivo X200 Pro adds the industry's strongest 4K backlit portrait recording mode and full-focal length 4K 60fps 10bit Log video due to the existence of the blueprint image chip V3+. At the same time, the new self-developed 4K AI video beautification algorithm and 4K 120fps movie slow motion also greatly increase the playability of video shooting. Especially the latter, the X200 Pro brings the recording specifications of professional video cameras to the phone, achieving the main camera and telephoto 4K 120fps recording capability, while supporting normal video, professional video mode, and slow motion mode.

Vivo X200 full-focal length professional experience of the image matrix "Image Little Thanos"

Compared with X200 Pro, the X200 standard version is naturally more "convergent" in terms of image configuration, which is the practice of previous dynasties, but this "convergence" is also relative. In fact, vivo has always emphasized that the X200 belongs to "the little Thanos that surpasses the traditional Pro-level" in terms of image shooting.

First of all, from the 50-million-pixel IMX882 Zeiss super telephoto to the 50-million-pixel super-sensitive VCS bionic main camera IMX921, and then to the 50-million-pixel ultra-wide-angle camera JN1, the three main camera-level 50-million-pixel lenses together form the lens group of vivo X200. 100X ZEISS ultra-clear zoom, 20X telephoto macro, ZEISS T* coating, CIPA4.5 professional-grade image stabilization are all available.

In the choice of telephoto lens, compared with the previous generationX100, it is the same 1/2-inch photosensitive size64 million pixel Zeiss super telephoto, X200IMX882Zeiss super telephoto all-pixel focusing pixel density is larger, and the improvement of light sensitivity performance is also obvious, especially the blueprint image algorithm blessing, the effect is better.

Given the excellent telephoto shooting capabilities of the previous generation X100, the X200 must also perform better to be worthy of its next-generation identity. In fact, in terms of telephoto telephoto (up to 100X), telephoto macro (20X macro magnification), and telephoto night scene, the X200 has a deep foundation.

The above is a set of sample samples of the vivo X200 in street mode

However, compared with the main camera of the X200 Pro, the VCS bionic spectrum of the X200's super-sensitive VCS bionic main camera IMX921 is still version 2.0.

By the way, in terms of front lenses, the vivo X200 series is a 32 million pixel 1/3.44-inch sensor configuration, which has good applicability.

The sublimation of playability and image quality is not only the image quality enhancement technology of large models

In terms of common image algorithm improvement, the first thing that can be talked about in vivo X200 series is "large model image quality enhancement technology". Its purpose is to better unleash the shooting potential of telephoto lenses through the image quality enhancement technology of large models of the blueprint algorithm matrix. In particular, the detail performance of 20X and above has been greatly improved, which can significantly improve the image quality of telephoto high-magnification ZOOM. It's a great advantage when shooting natural and urban scenes, modern and ancient architectural details, green vegetation or stuffed animals.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

In use, the image quality enhancement of large models can be turned off by using the "Super Telephoto Enhancement" switch in [Camera] - [More Settings]. Its sharpness can be turned on in [Camera] - [Settings] - [More Settings] - [Retention Settings] after the "Photo Mode Status" switch is turned on, and the sharpness effect can be adjusted through the Settings-Effect Adjustment function to adjust the sharpness effect and memorize the settings.

vivo has upgraded the previous night mode to a new scenery mode

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The vivo X200 series has a wide range of shooting settings, which is the traditional advantage of this series of models

Secondly, the new scenery mode. vivo has upgraded the previous night scene mode to a new scenery mode, integrating multiple sub-sections such as the original night scene, moon, starry sky, and time slow gate, to achieve "work-level scenery slow door", "scenery master imaging style", "telephoto moonlit night scenery" and other gameplay. Not long ago, the Mid-Autumn Festival,vivo officially released the close-up of the moon taken by vivo X200,It is"Telephoto moonlight scenery"The result,It records,400mmTelephoto lens angle of view,Improve the moon detail texture,Let us ordinary users also shoot professional moonlight scenery。

Caption: The night scene is upgraded to a landscape, integrating multiple modes such as the original night scene, moon, starry sky, and time slow door

In order to make the operation of the new scenery mode more convenient and fast, vivo has also optimized the camera APP interface, and the scenery function has been aggregated and adjusted to greatly enhance the interactivity.

What's even more fun is the Live Photo mode. This is also a mode that all Android models are adding one after another, and it can be regarded as a way to play the iPhone. vivo X200 series mobile phones support direct Live Photo dynamic photos to share on multiple social platforms (Xiaohongshu and Douyin, etc., but Douyin's platform will probably wait until October after the new system version is upgraded), and also supports iPhone transfer to vivo and is compatible with Live Photo dynamic photo display and viewing.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

Photography tutorials are very useful for users of the vivo X series models

A digression. As we have talked about before, in addition to the continuous exploration of the traditional portrait photography track, vivo believes that the virtual world is likely to become a new scene for people's entertainment, life and work in the future. To this end, vivo is also actively engaged in the research and development of future technologies together with ZEISS, jointly exploring more creative scenes of images in the virtual world, and making mobile images an entrance to help users connect "real life" and "virtual world".

The limit of performance is just the purest true color, and see the peak moment of the "blue crystal chip technology stack".

When the iQOO Neo9S Pro series and even the iQOO Z9 Turbo series, which are relatively close to the people, have been riding on the road of "performance soaring", the so-called limit of "computing performance" is actually not something that the blue factory needs to deliberate. In this way, vivo can put the word "limit" into the category of "image" more purely in the shaping of the image flagship, without distractions.

But on the other hand, the word "performance" is a common talk, and since vivo is a product, it will inevitably enter the WTO and exist. Therefore, standing in the waves of the "Red Sea of Performance" with the body of the "image flagship", the X200 series can be regarded as a complete bamboo. After all, the X100 series also "brushed up on such an achievement" last time.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

As we all know, it is a kind of subconscious competition tacit understanding, but also a kind of strategic level of thoughtful consideration, vivo continues to choose MediaTek's Dimensity flagship platform in the X flagship this time, years of cooperative research and development experience to understand the dividends of technology integration, the harvest moment is always good.

Of course, since it is a "strong new foundation of the new flagship", then the joint definition of the blue crystal × Dimensity 9400 flagship platform for the first launch naturally has enough fascinating charm, and even because of its existence, some consumers have a firm reason to eagerly look forward to the X200 series - after all, judging from the paper parameters at the time of release, and then from the comprehensive performance of the previous generation flagship Dimensity 9300 on the X100 series, this expectation of the new flagship is objective and inevitable.

TIPS

Thanks to the existence of the vivo Arm joint lab, vivo can also effectively promote the upgrade of Arm's microarchitecture: optimizing the front-end branch prediction, decoding and scheduling width, enhancing the back-end vector pipeline, adding loading and storage pipelines, etc. In addition, the cache is divided into small "tiles", each slice is managed independently, with independent replacement policies and data indexes, and dynamic cache allocation technology.

Let's take a look at the technical indicators of Dimensity 9400: TSMC's second-generation 3nm process, second-generation all-large-core CPU with a frequency of up to 3.626GHz, Arm v9 architecture instructions, IPC performance surpassing A17 Pro, etc. High-speed networking technology and communication are also leading in an all-round way. In addition, the Dimensity 9400 also supports LPDDR5T Ultra Pro specifications, which exceeds the LPDDR5T RAM supported by the Dimensity 9300. This time, the LPDDR5T Ultra Pro will also debut in the X200 Pro top-of-the-line version, just like the X100 series top-of-the-line version debuted LPDDR5T RAM last year.

Of course, in terms of indicators, "power consumption is effectively reduced", and the Dimensity 9400 is indeed worthy of the definition of "impulsive and calm". However, from the perspective of energy conversion logic, the stronger the performance, the higher the power consumption, control and adjustment are one thing, and sufficient redundancy control is another. Vivo, a leading manufacturer, naturally knows the importance of heat dissipation of the whole machine, so it is reasonable for us to see the "fierce" heat dissipation components on the vivo X200 series.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

When I was talking about the vivo X100 series last year, I mentioned a point of view on social media: "The combination of Dimensity 9300 and self-developed image chip V2 will definitely have exciting results", and sure enough, their measured results of about 2.2 million points are exciting at the end of 2023 - just like the era of the X90 series, with the help of dual-core joint debugging, the earlier Dimensity 9200 has achieved lower power consumption (APU, display, network connection), Antutu's official test score also came to an unprecedented 1.28 million points at that time.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

Caption: Dimensity 9400 works with Blueprint Imaging Chip V3+ dual-core

Now, what level will the vivo X200 series with the Azurite × Dimensity 9400 be? Direct answer: In the normal state of room temperature, Antutu V10 measured 2.9 million points (X200 Pro) and 2.7 million points (X200). In fact, we have also tried to run a score of 2.97 million points with a back clip fan at a lower starting room temperature, but that is only a reference and is not widely representative. The addition of the self-developed image chip V3+ does make the X200 Pro's comprehensive performance better. As for the results of other test platforms, see the chart.

Here we also mention two other results, you can refer to them: vivo X100 Ultra (third-generation Snapdragon 8, 16GB+1TB top version), which is also equipped with a self-developed image chip V3+, has a measured score of about 2.18 million points; The X100s equipped with the Dimensity 9300+ platform ran close to 2.23 million points. As a result, you can have a concrete understanding of the computing power performance level of the vivo X200 series, a set of blue crystal × Dimensity 9400 platform, especially whether the X200 Pro has the ability to "challenge the Ultra version", which is obvious.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

At the same time, because of the existence of the blue crystal chip technology stack, the vivo X200 series is equipped with the blue crystal × Dimensity 9400 flagship platform in performance, power consumption, gaming, communication, security, imaging, display, AI and other eight areas have top performance, such as 60 months of long-lasting smoothness, power consumption control of unbalanced architecture PMIC, high-frame game ray tracing ability, short-range communication chips, etc., are very competitive.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The Bluetooth-based short-range intercom mode is also a plus configuration for the current flagship machine

In particular, vivo's self-developed kilometer-level networkless communication has achieved greater performance improvement with the blessing of the world's first 4nm process short-range communication chip. It allows the X200 series to achieve point-to-point and long-distance communication (intercom up to 2km/broadcast up to 4km) through Bluetooth connection in an environment without network and no signal. And support SOS text broadcasting, one-to-one voice/text intercom, map location display, etc. This has a very practical auxiliary role in scenarios such as self-driving, hiking, and disaster rescue in no man's land. Of course, the Blue Crystal × Dimensity 9400 also contributes to this, because it itself supports dual Bluetooth fusion BLR technology (the limit connection distance can be increased to 1500 meters), which gives the first kilometer-level networkless communication on the vivo X200 series a lower level of support.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

Although it is not a gaming-focused model, the gaming experience of the vivo X200 series is absolutely top-notch

Later, other competitor flagships equipped with the Dimensity 9400 platform will be launched one after another, and the competition is benign and inevitable, but the identity of the vivo X200 series of "setting standards" and "setting thresholds" cannot be denied. At this moment, just like last year's vivo X100 series, so the matter of "letting the image linger in X" is not in response to the stalk of vivo's flagship product model every year, but the revelation of internal strength. "Looking at the clouds, there are real people" also appropriately inherited last year's "keep the sun and moon in my heart". All this is not just a product highlight but a concrete expression of "a really good mobile phone".

Endurance is king, and the "blue ocean battery" reproduces its innovative competitiveness

Judging from the configuration of recent flagship models, we can easily find a new phenomenon: the weight of the increase in battery capacity is greater than the weight of the increase in battery charging power. In fact, we have long discussed this matter in the media, from the perspective of the real commuting environment and needs, the largest possible capacity battery with a higher power charging power is just the most reasonable combination. In the past two years, each battery itself has developed greatly in its own density improvement technology, which can realize a larger capacity battery configuration in a smaller space, so that as long as the charging power configuration scheme is appropriate, it can perfectly meet the real needs of the public.

It is believed that in the future, there will be further breakthroughs in the technical level of "high-density batteries" and "ultra-high-power charging modules", and the volume of modules can be further reduced. But at least for now, the combination of a high-capacity battery and higher power charging performance is the most reasonable for both flagship and mid-range phones.

So, in the vivo X200 series, we also see this idea. In fact, all the new machines of the blue factory before this time have also followed the configuration idea of this battery module and have achieved success.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

You should remember that last year's X100 Pro version was full of competitive and unique configuration - on the premise of ensuring that the charging efficiency is still efficient (100W wired and 50W wireless), the 5400mAh battery capacity is much higher than the X90 Pro's 4870mAh (this is already the largest battery capacity in the X90 series), and the DOU reference value reaches 1.72 days, but it has not affected the size variable of the whole machine. We all know that the answer to this result lies in the "blue ocean battery" scheme.

This year's X200 Pro, in terms of battery configuration, continues the aforementioned "large capacity" with "higher power" scheme, "large, fast, thin and cold-resistant" blue ocean battery reaches 6000mAh capacity (energy density 838Wh/L), it uses the third generation of silicon anode technology, can achieve -20°C semi-solid low temperature limit endurance (semi-solid blue ocean battery has been tested by Antarctic ultra-low temperature environment), the number of charging cycles exceeds 1000 weeks, and the battery silicon content is extremely high, reaching about 5%. Its nanocapsule technology is composed of a variety of innovative nanoscale structures, which can suppress the expansion of battery packs. The cathode tunneling technology can reduce lithium precipitation and increase the cycle life by 20% compared with the previous generation.

It's worth noting that although the X200 Pro's charging power in both metrics (90W wired flash charging and 30W wireless charging) looks lower than the X100 Pro, there is no significant difference in the actual daily use experience - if you have to say the difference, it is also because the battery capacity has increased by 10% compared to the previous game, resulting in a slight extension of the charging time.

As for the standard version of the X200, the battery technical indicators are the same as those of the X200 Pro, but because the body is smaller and thinner, the battery capacity is adjusted to 5800mAh, and the wireless charging module is canceled.

The two master color screens are dedicated to protecting the eyes of the whole scene

As for the flagship, if any mobile phone manufacturer takes the choice of screen lightly in the past two years, it will not succeed. Although the screen sizes of the vivo X200 series models are different this time, they are equipped with good screens of the same quality, which is called "Zeiss Master Color Screen".

Indeed, 8T LTPO backplane technology, 1.5K resolution, 452PPI high-density pixels, 4500nit local peak brightness and other indicators, the screens of X200 series models are shared. The factory calibration index JNCD≈0.24 and ΔE≈0.27 are also consistent.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

To talk about the difference, the X200 has a smaller screen size of 6.67 inches, while the X200 Pro has a size of 6.78 inches. At the same time, the former is 1600nit global excitation brightness, 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, and the screen refresh rate is 120Hz multi-gear; The global excitation brightness of the latter is up to 1800nit, the 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming can be carried out at full brightness, and the 0.1-120Hz adaptive dynamic refresh rate is also a highlight. As for the 3D ultrasonic single-point fingerprint module and armor glass protection, it is also exclusive to X200 Pro.

By the way, vivo adopts a congruent depth micro four-curve design on the screen for the first time, which makes the X200 series more warm and symmetrical, like a spring that is full but not overflowing.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

In terms of eye protection, in addition to the aforementioned X200 ProThe screen can achieve 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at full brightness, outdoor highlight display, night cat eye protection 2.0, personalized brightness and other modules are standard for the X200 series. The so-called "from extremely dark to extremely bright, eye protection is everywhere", which is also true to its word.

In terms of color performance, the more realistic and accurate full-link Zeiss natural color makes the X200 series screen able to gain a lot of public favor. It is the result of the joint research and development of vivo and Zeiss, which expands Zeiss natural colors from image effects to screen displays, and realizes the most accurate color quality presentation in the whole link of images such as shooting preview, post-shooting selection, and editing (X200 Pro's screen additionally supports HDR Dolby Vision).

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

In addition, in addition to the image itself, vivo also cares about seeing everything on the screen with the naked eye, whether it is OriginOS visual experience, video viewing, game interaction, etc., and even OS small icons, all of which have been comprehensively managed and adjusted to bring unified, harmonious and orderly color presentation.

The stunning "deep-sea imagery" reshapes a new chapter in natural aesthetics

Now it's time to talk about design. First of all, the size of the vivo X200 standard version is too handy, the aspect ratio is very "golden", the thickness of the fuselage is controlled within 8mm, and this fuselage size can accommodate extremely strong computing performance, battery life components, image experience, just by virtue of this, it already has full potential for big sales. The only thing that can be more extreme than it is its own X200 Pro mini.

Even the vivo X200 Pro version has a significant evolution over the vivo X100 Pro in terms of body size, especially thickness control.

With this qualitative aspect of the overall structure, the category of color and design is easier to elaborate. The aesthetic language of the vivo X200 series this time is a new inspiration, emphasizing "deep sea imagery, natural aesthetics", and has a clear "inheritance and breakthrough" relationship with the vivo X100 series. IP68+IP69 dust and water resistance is also the standard configuration of the current flagship.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

In fact, in terms of appearance design and aesthetics, the successive generations of vivo X models have rich stories, and their styles have changed in the inheritance, firmly adhere to their own characteristics, and emphasize the inevitable characteristics of the times. This time, vivo took natural aesthetics as the theme, focusing on the congruent depth micro quadruple and symmetrical lens DECO, and painted another stunning prosperous scene for the X200 series.

Among them, because vivo adopts a congruent depth micro four-curve design on the screen for the first time, it also makes the entire straight-edged fuselage have a different sense of fit when held, which is pleasant.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The design of DECO's waterdrop lens and the design of water ripple cloud steps allow our visual attention to return to the original "circle", like water droplets falling, round and full, and like eyes looking at the world and refracting all things. At the same time, it also represents the meaning of "seeing everything in the world through the lens". On the whole, the vivo X200 series still emphasizes the reference to professional camera design, like the X100 series, all cameras are included in one "big eye", and the integrated lens sense is strengthened by the "blackening" background, reflecting the professional image strength in a more concise way.

In terms of color matching, the four colors of sapphire blue, titanium, night black, and white moonlight all have their own exquisiteness. The sapphire blue color scheme uses a fine laser engraving process to paint the waves of the flowing deep blue ocean, and the highly textured top coating material greatly enhances its permeability and three-dimensionality. The floating glass with the white moonlight color matching like a white piano key, and the glossy silver aluminum alloy middle frame, the smoothness greatly enhances the high-end sense of white; The color matching of Chenye Black, which is suitable for a wider range of people, uses 3D glass fiber material, through complex 3D hot bending molding and rubbing process, the overall appearance of exquisite matte texture, with matte black aluminum alloy middle frame, highlighting the high value brought by high-end technology.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

As for the titanium version that vivo is happy to use recently, it still belongs to the purest color of metal, using frosted texture AG glass, so that the low-key and elegant metal primary color back cover is simple and clean, especially its camera decoration circle combines polishing and brushing technology with character laser carving, precise, rigorous, highlighting the high-end scientific and technological texture. Of course, this titanium color still belongs to the category of color matching, not titanium material.

To summarize briefly, the vivo X200 series is not much different from the two models in terms of appearance recognition, to quickly distinguish the two models, in addition to directly looking at the size, you can also look at the lens arrangement in DECO, X200 Pro is "four cylinders" and X200 is "cross type".

AI Reconstructs Smart Experience: OriginOS 5 Helps "X Great Wisdom" and "X Great Evolution"

In November last year, VDC 2023 was held (vivo developer conference), and the vivo OriginOS 4 operating system based on Android 14 kernel was officially launched to the public at that time. In other words, starting from the vivo X100 series, the vivo OriginOS 4 operating system has fully entered vivo's mobile phone system. This rhythm has basically continued in the vivo X200 series: the VDC was held in October earlier than in November of previous years, and the OriginOS 5 system, which is based on the Android 15 kernel and fully integrated with the innovative vivo large model matrix capabilities, is an important connotation to help the "new X flagship" experience be more comprehensive. Everything is good in advance, and the so-called "natural fluency and super 'AI'" has something to say.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The Dimensity 9400's excellent AI capabilities also ensure that OriginOS 5 can better play a role in privacy protection

It is worth noting that this time the Dimensity 9400 platform has a huge improvement in the ability of generative AI, which can also strengthen the "independent intelligence" experience of OriginOS 5 from another side (in fact, the mutual achievement between the flagship of the fourth-generation Snapdragon 8 platform and OriginOS 5 is also a good story, which will not be listed here). Everything is the best of the plan.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

This reminds us of this time in 2020, when OriginOS 1.0, called the "original" system, was released, officially launching the replacement work for the vivo Funtouch OS launched in 2013. At that time, the X60 series was also equipped with OriginOS 1.0, which had a sales boost of up to 30% for the former, which was almost another decisive factor in addition to the "first Zeiss collaboration".

At that time, we said that vivo's "enlightenment" to launch OriginOS is very necessary and timely, and it has also laid a solid foundation for the development of high-end products in the future. Now, after the iterative evolution from OriginOS 4 to OriginOS 5 with the blessing of a large model matrix, a new balance has been achieved between "fluency" and "wisdom", which can be the icing on the cake for annual flagships such as vivo X200 series.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

The Super Card Pack service is a high-frequency application for the general public

Regarding the detailed experience of OriginOS 5, this magazine has already launched a special topic, so I will not repeat it here. Pick a few features related to the "plus" of the X200 series, and briefly mention them. For example, AI reconstructs notifications, allowing blue-hearted little V to "land on the island", greatly improving efficiency and information readability; AI reconstructs search, and you can search in a circle at your fingertips; The Blue Heart Small V agent is integrated, and the AI private assistance attribute is further strengthened. By the way, AI ID photo background replacement is also a very useful component.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

At that time, Hu Baishan, executive vice president of vivo, said: "AI is not only a black technology, but also serves people's daily needs. No matter how technology develops, vivo will always adhere to user-oriented, carry out differentiated and warm innovation around user needs, and let AI fly into the homes of ordinary people. Therefore, we can also believe that the vivo X200 series, which was first equipped with OriginOS 5, and the vivo X100 series at that time, jointly built the sincerity of vivo X's "next ten-year covenant" with the public.

Since then, "looking at the clouds, there are real people" - vivo X200 series has created a new chapter of image cameras

Many detail improvements based on OriginOS 5 have greatly increased the ease of control

Last year, we mentioned that it is the mission of the X100 series to find a "new coronation moment" in "crisis" and "opportunity", and the baton of this mission is now in the hands of the X200 series - in addition to the competitiveness of "comfort and durability", "health technology" and "digital productivity tools", vivo X200 series has also continued to improve the very powerful AI large model computing power and the more complete application experience derived from it. All thanks to OriginOS 5.

There should be no more flagship details in vivo

In terms of detailed configuration, vivo has made a difference between the two models of the X200 series, and the X200 Pro does give more. But objectively speaking, compared with the detailed differences between the two models of the X100 series, the difference between the X200 series this time is not so big.

For example, the Global Signal Amplification System 2.0. It includes signal amplification antennas, self-developed signal AI intelligent selection algorithms, Wi-Fi amplification protocols and other elements, this system version 1.0 has greatly improved the network stability of the previous generation vivo X100 Pro, realizing that all scenarios such as subway commuting, wilderness live broadcast and 10,000 concerts can get a strong signal experience, and even the indoor Wi-Fi signal through the wall has also been significantly improved. Now the X200 is standard across the range and has a new version, taking the natural connection experience to the next level.

X200 Pro Exclusive Beidou Satellite Communication Capability (1TB Satellite Communication Version)

For another example, the Bluetooth-based short-range intercom mode is also a plus configuration for the current flagship machine, and the vivo X200 series will definitely not be absent. For another example, kilometer-level networkless communication, stereo dual speakers, full-scene intelligent NFC, infrared remote control, X-axis linear motor and other configurations are all standard configurations of the whole system.

Of course, it makes sense for the X200 Pro to have exclusive Beidou satellite communication capabilities (1TB satellite communication version).

EF Review:

It is no exaggeration to say that from the X100 series to the X200 series, plus the X100s series in May this year, vivo's understanding of the "flagship-level image matrix" has entered the extreme. During this period, it was also accompanied by the emergence of the blueprint image system, which made vivo more creative, imaginative and competitive in the matter of "image pattern" (in fact, the first batch of works such as vivo X100s series and X100 Ultra to show the blueprint image system have already shown us remarkable market results). It can even be understood that the blue factory is presenting its own mobile image technology to the public more and more clearly, and gradually has the taste of "image culture" and "image spirit".

Last year, I did a special feature on the vivo X100 series, and looking back, it feels like yesterday. At that time, we said that the vivo X100 series was vivo's "most comprehensive work that shows the ultimate performance and extreme image" in vivo's history, and now combined with the X100s series and X100 Ultra and other models, "each model has the core strength to conquer its target group". So "what can be more moving than the X100 series will only be its next generation". Today, a year later, we have started to produce this feature about the vivo X200 series, which is full of anticipation and is also based on the "greatness" of the previous game.

Throughout the summer of 2024, except for the "mid-range performance game-breaker" iQOO Z9 Turbo+ and the "king of leapfrog newcomers" vivo Y300 Pro, vivo basically has no big moves. But everyone knows that it's holding back a big move. The current X200 series is actually just a big dish, and after "one", there are two or three. For a head brand like vivo, the finale is naturally a "big surprise" that needs to be "focused on translation" - when the X200 series of still huge round lens modules come into our eyes, everyone knows that vivo is about to start telling its own "video machine king story" again.

Don't forget, starting from the X90 series (which can also be traced back to the X80 series era), vivo X-series models have also played a role of "MediaTek and Qualcomm's flagship platforms of the season go hand in hand and complement each other", and even how to evaluate and choose the overall characteristics of these two flagship platforms of different systems, we can find the highest priority answer here in vivo. You know, not everyone can grasp the big picture of technology. Therefore, in addition to appreciating several distinctive models of today's vivo X200 series, we are also looking forward to and curious about how the "Ultra version" will go one step further in stacking and tuning, just as this year's X100 Ultra is to the X100 series.

In terms of purchase suggestions, just like last year when we talked about the vivo X100 series, "even if we spend an extra 1000 yuan, we have to highly recommend the X100 Pro version", today the X200 Pro is still desirable. After allX200 Pro(and even X200 Pro mini) is a full grid of existence,In addition to stronger image components and larger screens,Blueprint image chipV3+、Universal signal amplification system2.0 and other configurations are all homeopathic upgrades to the previous X100 Pro,And users who have requirements for satellite communication,You must also chooseX200 Pro。 As for the vivo X200, which can be called the "strongest standard version of the year", it has also been quite impressive in terms of computing power, AI and imaging capabilities (however, if you compare horizontally, it is a pity that there is no wireless charging module). Of course, because of the difference in size and shape, the product power tendency of the X200 series models in the face of potential target groups is also obviously different, and it is impossible to consider the "configuration" in isolation. You just need to choose according to your own aesthetics and usage preferences.

A few extra words. In the battle for high-end, Huawei and Apple have established mature brand awareness, and the following mobile terminal head brands have their own magical powers. For vivo, the participants and strategic cycles that need to be considered in this high-end race are complex but must be faced, and the accuracy of courage, determination and direction are all crucial at this time. However, there is not much time left for the establishment of high-end brand awareness, and on the premise of ensuring the carrying capacity and precise rhythm of high-end products, a popular model may decide to "break the game".

In one year, vivo used the X100 series and X200 series to continuously achieve the bottom layer of "high-end breakthrough", which did show a leading trend in the competitive market.
