- Vivo has launched the X200 Ultra smartphone in China.
- The X200 Ultra has an optional telephoto converter lens, enabling 8.6x native zoom via the phone’s 200MP periscope camera.
- The phone also has a 35mm main camera, while the ultrawide camera uses the same large sensor as the main shooter.
The vivo X100 Ultra was one of the best camera phones of 2024, although it was unfortunately restricted to China. Now, after weeks of teases, vivo has peeled the curtain back on the X200 Ultra.
The X200 Ultra ticks plenty of boxes for a modern Android flagship phone in 2025. It has a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 6,000mAh battery, 90W wired charging, 40W wireless charging, and a 6.82-inch QHD+ OLED screen (LTPO, 4,500 nits peak brightness). There are also IP68 and IP69 ratings, although the latter is a bit of a gimmick.
