vivo X200 Series: One Camera Flagship to Rule Them All

Name a better duo than vivo and ZEISS; we will wait. The latest offering from these iconic brand collaborations is the vivo X200 series, which includes the vanilla vivo X200 Pro and vivo X200. Building on the legacy of the X-series, the new flagships bring several industry-first upgrades, which make them a pocket DSLR. From India’s first 200MP telephoto lens with up to 100x zoom for next-level clarity to vivo-exclusive industry-first super landscape features, the vivo X200 series smartphones are the ultimate extreme photography devices built with the “Xplore the Xtreme” motto to let users capture their perspective. Let’s look at what makes these smartphones stand out from the rest.

India’s 1st 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera To Capture Xtremity in Every Shot

A superior camera system is fundamental to building the best camera flagship, and vivo has understood the assignment with the X200 series. The X200 Pro has a triple camera setup featuring the India’s first a 200MP ZEISS APO telephoto camera, 50MP IMX06C VCS True Colour primary camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. The vivo X200 model comes with a 50MP Sony IMX882 ZEISS telephoto camera instead of 200MP with other sensors remaining the same.

The vivo X200 Pro is the first smartphone in India to come with a mighty 200MP ZEISS APO telephoto camera, making the smartphone the ultimate camera device for those who love to shoot exceptional Hyperzoom, super clear macro, perfect nightscapes, and professional portrait shots. The camera offers 2.2x photosensitivity for impressive low-light imaging. Moreover, the Abbe Number 95 Fluorite-Grade Glass Lens and ZEISS APO certification ensure that zoomed-in and portrait shots are free of chromatic aberration. The result is breathtaking telephoto shots every time.

The vivo X200 Pro offers 100x telephoto zoom with CIPA 4.5, which offers DSLR-level image stabilisation. Say goodbye to blurry shots caused by handshakes while clicking zoom shots, and be mesmerized by superior long-distance, high-quality imaging performance. The 200MP telephoto, along with vivo-exclusive background bokeh, also enables powerful telephoto macro mode with up to 20x zoom capability, allowing users to click close-up shots with extremely magnified details without getting close to the subjects. This is particularly useful for those who click close-up shots of insects, bugs, and other jittery critters.

The powerful telephoto lens with its large sensor also allows users to capture stunning zoomed shots at night, brilliantly detailed sunset shots, and outdoor photography with 10x Pro Sports mode to capture moving objects. vivo has also introduced a telephoto eye close-up mode that uses eye AF to enhance eye clarity and click stunning eye shots from close-up macro.

Class-Leading Triple Camera System With Ultra True Colour Main Sensor

The Ultra-True Colour main camera on these smartphones flaunts several industry firsts, like vivo Camera-Bionic Spectrum Technology 3.0 for natural colour reproduction, GLC ZEISS T* Coating for zero ghosting and haze, Super Blue Glass to minimise lens flare, and more. The 1/1.14-inch sensor with f/1.57 aperture offers more light intake for stunning low-light shots, natural bokeh effects, and DSLR-level image stabilisation.

The camera is also tuned for exemplary street photography with five presets and frequently used focal lengths ideal for human portrait photography. There are four colour modes, including a new Black colour mode, bringing more details in the shadows while maintaining excellent HDR. With Zero-Shutter-Lag Snapshot capabilities and ZEISS Style Portrait bokeh effects, the vivo X200 series is the perfect camera flagship to capture studio-level portraits of your friends and family,

The vivo X200 Pro flaunts the V3+ imaging chip, an upgrade from last year. The 6nm chipset is specially designed with additional algorithms to bring exceptional superiority to the camera system’s night scenes and portrait performances. The chipset also enables lower power consumption, so you can click or record all day long without having to worry about the battery draining out. Now, that’s impressive.

Ad-Level High-Resolution Portraits With ZEISS Multifocal Dynamic Portrait

The vivo X200 Pro also features the ground-breaking ZEISS Multifocal Dynamic Portrait with a motion snapshot algorithm. The algorithm supports 24mm, 35mm, 85mm (advantage), and a brand-new 135mm focal lengths. The X200 retains the focal lengths from previous generations—24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm.

The newly introduced 135mm focal length is widely recognised as an excellent choice for portrait shots because it creates an aesthetic compression effect on the face and stunning bokeh. It allows for a greater working distance while still maintaining a close-up perspective. This means that vivo X200 Pro users can capture stunningly dramatic full-body portraits with excellent environmental backgrounds.

Then there’s the 85mm high-resolution close-up portrait focal length, which uses the portrait perception engine and eye-focus algorithm to churn out ad-level high-resolution portrait shots with clear eyes and facial expressions. With the vivo X200 series and its varying focal length, you can rest assured no matter how far or close the subject is, the portrait shots will always be instantly shared or print-worthy.

India’s First Super Landscape Mode to Capture Cinematic-Level Landscape Masterpieces

Apart from human portraits, if you click a lot of landscape shots, then again, the vivo X200 series will help you unlock another level of potential with the proprietary slow-shutter HDR technology. This technology allows the camera system to produce HDR-quality details even in slow-shutter photos. Through this technology, the landscape shots no longer look flat but flaunt an incredibly rich depth with extraordinary details.

vivo has also integrated some core landscape photography features in the X200 series, including auto enhancement of starry skies, the moon, and sunset glow. Other features include perspective correction for horizon shots to ensure the horizon line is always straight, super pano photos, time-lapse landscape photos, and tilt-shift Bokeh effects.

Moreover, vivo has ensured that landscape shots taken with the vivo X200 series are ready to share instantly without applying any filters. These smartphones come with atmospheric and soft landscape modes, which apply professional and higher-quality landscape tones to such shots for a natural and quality appearance.

Movie-Grade 4K Super Backlit Portrait Video For Creating Memories

vivo has also introduced hardware-level HDR in video recording on the X200 series to offer a balanced dynamic range and top-notch stability in low-light situations. The resulting videos are touted to be on par with those recorded by an iPhone, the golden standard of mobile videography.

Additionally, these smartphones are the first Android devices to offer 4k recording at 60 fps with 10-bit LOG and Dolby support to match the professional video capabilities of compact vlog cameras. Moreover, the 4K Super Backlit Cinematic Portrait video support with six portrait video templates allows you to record vlogs or A-roll videos with an incredibly aesthetic bokeh background. Whether you are recording an A-roll, B-roll, or random nature videos, the vivo X200 series will make them all look professional.
