Its without a doubt one of the best-designed, most visually interesting, and classiest Ive seen on a phone yet. It also looks positively dainty next to the huge camera module on the back of the Vivo X200 Pro.These two phones have been given an international launch, and Ive had the chance to hold them both. However, Ive spent most of my short time with the pair marveling at that camera module.Recommended VideosVivo X200 Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsWhat makes the Vivo X200s camera module such a beauty? The polished outer ring sits slightly proud of the phones rear panel, almost like a watch dial, a theme that continues with the subtle clou de Paris embossed pattern around the edge. The real standout design aspect is how the polished rim curves inward around the edge, encapsulating the glass camera module inside.RelatedSmooth your finger over the surface and around the edge, and the Vivo X200s camera module feels like no other. The light also uniquely catches the curved edge. This isnt the result of chance. Someone has thought about the way the camera module could look, and rather than incorporate odd shapes or mismatched lines Im looking at you, Honor to make it unusual, Vivo has made something beautiful. So many brands reference luxury timepieces in their marketing blurb, but Vivo is one of the few that has brought a similar touch of class to its camera, without mentioning watches at all.Vivo X200 Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsYes, Im aware thats a lot of words about a camera module, but Im not done with the design yet because the screen is a winner too. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen has a quad curve, which means its curved down at each side and at each corner, so it blends in with the frame and rear panel. It makes the phone comfortable to hold and also enhances the classy rear panel design and camera module. Its not the first weve seen Huawei has used the same style in the past, for example but it really suits relatively compact phones like the X200.What about the rest of the X200? Its the entry model in Vivos new range, but that doesnt make it basic. It uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor with either 12GB or 16GB of RAM and a 5,800mAh battery with 90-watt charging to cement its high-end credentials. The phone weighs 202 grams in the pretty green color seen in our photos and is both IP68 and IP69 dust- and water-resistant.1 of 4Vivo X200 Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Vivo X200 (left) and Vivo X200 Pro Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Vivo X200 Pro's quad curve screen Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Vivo X200 Pro Andy Boxall / Digital Trends Inside the camera module is a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 main camera, a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto camera, and a 50MP wide-angle camera. Vivo continues its relationship with Zeiss, which provides the optics and various camera modes. Theres also a 32MP selfie camera on the front. Its probably clear, but Ive fallen for the Vivo X200s design, and the specification looks strong enough to hold my interest when I get the chance to use it for a longer period of time. But what about the X200 Pro?The Vivo X200 Pro Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsThe Vivo X200 Pro doesnt share the same exquisite design for its camera module, but its still interesting. Its much larger than the X200s module, and while the outer rim still has the clou du Paris embossing, the upper section is made from titanium and has a subtle brushed effect. The large black glass module sits proud of the titanium outer section. It still looks good, but it lacks the uniqueness of the X200s module. The screen also has the quad curve shape but is slightly larger at 6.78 inches.The cameras specifications are different, which is why youd choose this model over the X200. The 50MP Sony LYT-818 main sensor has Zeiss optics and is joined by a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP9 telephoto camera. It shares the same 50MP wide-angle camera and 32MP selfie camera as the X200. The Vivo X200 Pro uses Vivos V3+ Imaging Chip to improve lowlight and portrait shots while increasing efficiency. The telephoto camera provides a 135mm equivalent zoom and an 85mm HD Portrait mode, too.The Vivo X200 Pro Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsThe MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor continues over, this time with 16GB of RAM, while the battery capacity has been raised to 6,000mAh and adds 30W wireless charging to the 90W wired charging. Both phones use Vivos Funtouch OS interface over Android 15 and come with a range of AI features, including Circle to Search and access to Google Gemini.The Vivo X200 Mini VivoWhen Vivo announced the X200 series in China earlier this year, it added a third model to the range: the Vivo X200 Pro Mini. Unfortunately, it doesnt appear the phone will be released internationally.The phone shares the same Dimensity 9400 processor and a triple-50MP camera system, but the major spec difference is the 6.31-inch screen, making it mini in size, but not performance.The Vivo X200 (left) and Vivo X200 Pro Andy Boxall / Digital TrendsAt the time of writing, Vivo has not confirmed which regions will get the Vivo X200 and Vivo X200 Pro or the approximate prices for both phones. The information will come after the official announcement, and we will update here when we have confirmation.However, expect the phones to be available in India, Asia, and parts of Europe, and the price for the X200 to be somewhere around $620, with the X200 Pro likely to be around $800, based on the prices in China.Editors Recommendations
