The vivo X100 Pro and X100 Ultra were two of my favorite camera phones released in 2024. Both phones offered plenty of premium bells and whistles, too, such as fast wired/wireless charging, robust IP ratings, big batteries, and bright screens.
But they were really all about the fantastic camera hardware, with the X100 Pro featuring a versatile 50MP 4.3x periscope lens while the X100 Ultra delivered a frankly ridiculous 200MP 3.7x periscope camera. Unfortunately, the Ultra phone was limited to China. There’s good news, though, as vivo has just launched the X200 Pro and it packs the same crazy telephoto camera. So is this a contender for best camera phone once again? It’s time to find out.
