Vivo appears to be forming several partnerships for its X200 Ultra smartphone. We already know about its collaboration with Zeiss for the camera technology, and a report from last month hinted that the brand might also be teaming up with Fujifilm to improve image processing capabilities.
New Collaborations Emerge
Now, there’s an additional name in the mix—Rimowa. According to an X user, Johnny Manuel, Vivo is collaborating with the high-end German luggage company for a special edition of the X200 Ultra. Rimowa, recognized for its distinctive grooved aluminum suitcases, might be adding its unique design touch to Vivo’s flagship smartphone.
The X user has shared some renders of the Vivo X200 Ultra along with its packaging. As anticipated, both the phone and its box showcase the trademark vertically striped design. However, no official confirmation has been given by any of the involved parties, so stay tuned for more information.
Specs and Features of Vivo X200 Ultra
The standard X200 Ultra is said to come in three color options: wine red, black, and white, and it might feature a back made of AG glass. Inside, Vivo is reportedly choosing Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset over the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 used in the X200 and X200 Pro. The smartphone is also anticipated to have a 2K micro-quad-curved display with ultra-slim bezels.
On the camera side, Vivo is going all out with a 50MP Sony LYT-818 main sensor, a 200MP telephoto lens with an 85mm focal length, and a 50MP macro telephoto lens. For selfies, there will be a 50MP front camera.
Battery and Release Expectations
To keep everything powered, the X200 Ultra is rumored to include a 6,000mAh battery with 100W wired and 50W wireless charging capabilities. This is an upgrade from the previous year’s X100 Ultra, which had a 5,500mAh battery with 80W wired and 30W wireless charging.
The X200 Ultra is expected to be launched either this month or in April. However, it may remain exclusive to China, similar to its predecessor.
