Vivo has announced that it will not be launching a direct successor to the X200 Pro mini. Instead, the company has emphasized in its recent promotional campaign in China that the X300 is intended to take the place of the X200 Pro mini, mainly because it comes with a 6.31-inch display just like its Pro mini version. Interestingly, the X300 is also gearing up to compete with the Samsung Galaxy S25 on a global scale, which is currently priced at $653 on Amazon.
New Developments on the Horizon
According to a recent post from Digital Chat Station, Vivo is working on a different version called the S50 Pro Mini, which could resemble the X200 Pro mini. A few days ago, there were hints that the S50 Pro Mini might use the Dimensity 9400 chipset, similar to its predecessor. However, in a post on Weibo, Digital Chat Station has stated that this earlier information was not accurate.
Hardware Specifications
It seems that Vivo has decided to partner with Qualcomm for its upcoming 6.31-inch smartphone, opting for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. A recent leak suggests that the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 will equip the S50 Pro Mini with an Adreno 840 GPU, which includes 2 performance cores and 6 efficiency cores, all made using TSMC’s N3P manufacturing process. This setup is expected to achieve around 3,000 single-core and 10,000 multi-core scores on Geekbench 6.
Camera Features and Release Date
Additionally, the S50 Pro Mini is rumored to come with a periscope telephoto camera. Unfortunately, at this point, it is still uncertain when Vivo intends to launch the S50 Pro Mini. Digital Chat Station has not given any insights into whether Vivo will present the S50 Pro Mini as a successor to the X200 FE.
