Following several teasers, vivo finally unveiled its flagship called the X200 Ultra.

The vivo X200 Ultra design

True flagship photography in your pocket?

As its main highlight, the phone boasts top-tier camera capabilities thanks to its 50MP main shooter, 50MP ultra-wide with both sensors using the Sony LYT-818 with a 1/1.28-inch size. Additionally, it also features the 200MP Samsung HP9 85mm ZEISS APO super telephoto camera and the super light prism technology, also known as the first in the industry to have a large three-group lens design periscope and OIS.

The vivo X200 Ultra is also the first to feature dual imaging chips—the VS1 handles pre-processing of image data, reducing the load on the SoC, while the V3+ manages post-processing, enhancing image quality. This enables 4K 60fps 10-bit Log recording, 4K 120fps slow-motion video, and the first 4K time-lapse capability.

The new camera key enables double-tap quick start, slide zoom, light-press focus lock, full-press shutter, long-press burst shooting, and slide exposure adjustment.
