    Vivo X200 Series to Feature In-House Sensor, Algorithm, and Chip

    Vivo recently showcased its future plans for smartphone imaging technology during its annual imaging festival in Qinghai. The company revealed that its upcoming flagship devices will debut the new Blueprint image sensor, which has been developed internally.

    This sensor incorporates Vivo’s proprietary VCS 3.0 technology and is produced using a 22nm process. Importantly, the Blueprint sensor is the industry’s first to support "True-TCG HDR" technology, promising enhanced HDR previews and video recording capabilities.

    Advanced Imaging with Algorithm Matrix

    Vivo has coupled the sensor with the latest generation of the Blueprint Algorithm Matrix, tailored specifically to enhance telephoto performance. This algorithm, which boasts over 1 billion parameters, is the most extensive visual generation model ever implemented in a Vivo smartphone.

    Additionally, the company hinted at a forthcoming "Blueprint Imaging Chip," expected to launch next year. This chip aims to refine AI portrait algorithms, significantly improving low-light and backlight portrait photography.

    Upcoming Flagship Models

    At the event, Vivo announced that these new imaging technologies would be integrated into its next flagship smartphones. Although the specific model names were not disclosed, it is anticipated that they will be part of the Vivo X200 series.

    Moreover, Vivo revealed that its popular humanistic camera mode, currently exclusive to the X100 Ultra, will soon be accessible on other models.

    Rollout Schedule

    The Vivo X100 Pro will be the first to receive this feature by the end of August, followed by the standard X100 in early September. The X90 Pro+ is scheduled to get the update by the end of October, with other X90 series models, including the X90, X90s, and X90 Pro, expected to receive it in early November.

    The China Product Manager at Vivo, Han Boxiao, has given the green light for the X100s model. While specific details regarding the smartphone’s specifications remain undisclosed, Boxiao did introduce an intriguing camera feature known as "Four Seasons Portrait" mode, as translated from Chinese.

    The innovative mode leverages advanced AI image processing to seamlessly alter the background of portrait photographs to reflect the four distinct seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

    Transformative Imaging Capabilities

    Boxiao demonstrated images modified using this feature, showcasing how it can imbue portrait shots with unique seasonal aesthetics. Beyond background alterations, the feature intelligently adjusts lighting and shadows on subjects and surroundings to harmonize with the selected season, all powered by Vivo’s AIGC imaging technology.

    Anticipated Specifications and Features

    While not officially confirmed, speculations suggest that the X100s may inherit a camera configuration akin to the Vivo X100 model. This setup is anticipated to include a 50MP f/1.6 primary sensor at the rear, complemented by a 15mm ultra-wide lens and a 70mm periscope telephoto lens, offering a focal range from 15mm to 70mm.

    Recent real-life images of the X100s have hinted at a departure from the curved edge design of its predecessor in favor of a flatter aesthetic. Powering the device will likely be a Dimensity 9300 Plus processor, as indicated by an AnTuTu listing. While battery specifics remain undisclosed, 3C certification hints at potential 120W charging support.

    Launch Details and Rumored Variants

    The launch of the Vivo X100s is expected to take place in May, possibly accompanied by the introduction of the Vivo X100s Pro and X100 Ultra models, expanding the brand’s smartphone lineup.
