vivo X200 Ultra camera specs leak again, an intriguing software tweak is coming
vivo's X200 Ultra will be its all-out camera flagship for 2025, to compete with Xiaomi's 15 Ultra and Oppo's Find X8 Ultra. Today in a since-deleted Weibo post, prolific Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station has given us the details about the X200 Ultra's camera system, once again.
So, it has a 50 MP main camera with a 1/1.28" type sensor, a 50 MP ultrawide with a 1/1.28" type sensor, and a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera with a 1/1.4" type sensor. Interestingly, the prototypes apparently have the ultrawide camera at 1x in the viewfinder, while the main camera is 1.5x.
This is the sort of thing that if Apple did, it would start a trend and within a year all Android phone makers would have followed suit. But if vivo does decide to go through with it, it might just be vivo labeling the cameras this way - we'll have to wait and see. Logically speaking, this system makes more sense, but then again we're all used to 1x being the main camera and the ultrawide being 0.5x or 0.6x or the likes.
Anyway, aside from that the device is said to have a 6.8-inch "2K" LTPO OLED screen with micro-curves on all sides, extremely narrow bezels all around, and a circular camera island.
For what it's worth, Digital Chat Station edited his original post deleting all of this information, which may be a sign that it was released too early. In fact, his edited posts, of which there are many, all just say the word "early" in them, lending credence to this theory, but it is just a theory, keep that in mind. He could have also edited it because the information was wrong - that's not impossible, even though he did mention he personally handled an X200 Ultra prototype, so how that can lead to wrong information we're not quite sure.
The X200 Ultra is supposedly coming in March or April, but it unfortunately won't be sold officially outside of China.
