Vivo X200 Pro (Global) - THE BEST Phone of 2024!

[@vincentroy5093]

Incorrect, the lens glare issue is present on ALL X200 Pro units. The CEO of Vivo itself acknowledged it in a full, one pager statement. You can find it online. This is a hardware issue due to the larger than usual aperture of the main lens, and only happens when the light hits the lens at a specific angle. This is a common problem on all smartphones, but it is more present on the X200 Pro because of the larger aperture lens than other smartphones, including the X100 Ultra. Vivo released a software fix for it using AI. The AI tries to remove the glare at the time of capture, or after the fact in the Gallery (if you prefer to do it later). It works well, but is not perfect.

[@Hammodeh1001]

The issue is now mostly resolved as you stated. This software algorithm not only removes lens flare and similar issues but also addresses fog, which is quite weird.

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

@@vincentroy5093 I've had lens glare issues on my past phones, iPhone 15 Pro Max S24 Ultra Pixel 9 Pro XL, I honestly think all phones suffer to a degree with lens glare.

I got the chinese 512gb version for £710. I'm loving it, the best phone I've ever had. Interested to see what they do with the Ultra so will be keeping an eye out for that.

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

@@sagovana you find the camera good? I'm considering sending my OPPO Find X8 Pro back for Vivo X200 Pro

[@sagovana]

@@Lynn-zw7dr I think it's great, the 200mp telephoto lens is brilliant. I think the main sensor isn't quite as strong as the ultra when cropping and zooming, but it by no means bad and still produces excellent photos. Sometimes they look a little overprocessed and less natural when zooming, cropping or at 2x on the main sensor. I would have preferred the 1inch main sensor from the ultra remain over the new 1/1.28. However, I'm more than happy with the phone and will continue to use it. I might consider change when I see some examples of the Xaiomi 15U, Oppo x8U, or X200U cameras in comparison, if they are offering a bigger main sensor, depending on how they perform too. From comparisons I have seen I prefer the Vivo x200 Pro over the Oppo x8 pro, but there's not a lot in it and some of it is preference. The X8 pro is a fantastic phone with great camera set up also. I'm mostly interested in photogrophahy with my phone so there might be other factors to consider if you use it for other things too, or photography isn't your primary focus.

Dude, Vivo Oppo Iqoo all belongs to the same parent company.. only difference is that Vivo gets better funding in the RnD section, so they always roll out the best spec of software & hardware.. the best in GPU/CPU and cameras.. Iqoo always gets optimized hardware for hard gamers, better battery life, cooling systems, but cameras are nothing compared to Vivo.. Oppo targets the middle-income groups.. so, their hardware will never target the top tier market.. but they are not really far from their sibling Vivo & Iqoo.. just like something in the middle.. neither best perfomance, neither best camera, neither best battery.. but you can really throw an oppo on a wall, and nothing breaks though..

I think these type of questions need to be answered. I was told by VIVO themselves, via email, the X200 Pro isn't intended for the United Kingdom, and they told me if I purchase from a third party, the warranty would be invalid and their repair centre would not repair the phone if it went wrong with a fault. So for me, it was too much of a risk, I will wait until it's available on the VIVO Store in the UK, because knowing my luck, something would go wrong!

Probably just three years of OS updates. I recommend getting a phone with a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, which supports up to 7-8 years of OS updates.
