In October, Vivo introduced three new smartphones: the Vivo X200, Vivo X200 Pro, and Vivo X200 Pro Mini in China. All of these devices are powered by the Dimensity 9400 chipset. The company is anticipated to release the Vivo X200 Ultra, which will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite, in the second quarter of 2025. Recent information also indicates that Vivo might be developing the Vivo X200S series specifically for the Chinese market.
Vivo X200S Development
A leak from tipster Digital Chat Station hints at an upcoming “S” model powered by a Dimensity chip. The emoji included in the Weibo post strongly suggests that this could refer to the Vivo X200S. It is likely to come with the Dimensity 9400 Plus chip, which might just be an overclocked variant of the recently launched Dimensity 9400.
Most likely, the Vivo X200S will be revealed about six months after the Vivo X200, which was announced last month (October) in China. Therefore, it seems that the X200S might make its debut around April or May 2025. There’s a chance it could be unveiled at the same time as the X200 Ultra, which is also expected to launch during that timeframe. Currently, it’s unclear if Vivo will release “S” variants of the Vivo X200 Pro Mini and X200 Pro.
Rumored Specifications for Vivo X200S
As per the tipster, it is said that the Vivo X200S will come with a large flat screen featuring a 1.5K resolution LTPS OLED display. This implies that the screen size may be bigger than the 6.67-inch display found on the X200.
The rear triple camera setup on the X200S is expected to include a primary camera with 50-megapixels and a periscope telephoto lens. Additionally, the phone is likely to have a high-capacity silicon battery, advanced dust and water resistance, and possibly an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor.
In conclusion, compared to the X200, the X200S will mainly offer a new chip along with some slight improvements.
