The BEST Pro Phone You CANT Buy - Vivo X200 Pro Review

[@Temmple]

This has been announced for global release and should be available in the states running funtouch os. My biggest complaint with this device is the three years of software support which is not enough in this era. This should be a bare minimum of five years support.

[@nowthentech]

Its global release doesn't relate to Nothing America or Europe from what I know. If it does come here that's great news. The software support we didn't see any info at 3 years that is poor

[@jonbikaku6133]

Tbh long software support is so overrated. How many people are using the same phone for 3+ years? You im sure, but look at the average joe. They buy a new iphone each year its released. I think 3/4 years is quite sufficient. What gets me with Chinese phones, is that even after a global release they still do not support most 5G bands which is easily higher priority for me than 5 years of software upgrades

[@nowthentech]

@jonbikaku6133 this is actually a great point. I guess for those who buy this type of flagship phone they'll keep them a couple years and then switch. I say this as someone who was using an S23 Ultra but recently switched. Thanks for your comment

[@Temmple]

@@jonbikaku6133 it WILL hurt the resale of the phone for sure.

[@mtadc1545]

@@jonbikaku6133uhhh no one loves to add to e waste and some people don’t like being part of a disposable economy. I’m still using my Note 20 Ultra and I will keep using it till it breaks. Still works without being slow and I have a microSD card too.

[@AhmadKarem-f8m]

I love honest KZbinrs.♥️

[@nowthentech]

Thank you

[@TedThomasTT]

didn't expect to see Cardiff when I clicked here, cheers mate.

[@nowthentech]

Your welcome. I love the place

[@kristianrabulan7138]

this review is so underrated for this phone.

[@nowthentech]

Please expand your thoughts

[@parasmisri]

Vivo marketing team is shit... These are some god level camera phones , i dont know why it is very different to get a vivo phone online or offline 😢

[@nowthentech]

Minus the swearing well said for sure. In an ideal world all these phone are available everywhere just means better competition and pricing for us consumers

[@Mbuckwright]

If its a global version from sau Aliexpress will it still work like any other phone i.e. with android and 5g/4g etc?

[@nowthentech]

Yes works on 5G and has android on it and will have software support moving forward

[@Mbuckwright]

@nowthentech thank you, and to confirm even with all network in the United Kingdom? And all the apps Inc banking ones etc?

[@nowthentech]

@Mbuckwright for personal and sensitive information we can't say yes for sure as the security certificates may not be the same as widely available phones

[@Mbuckwright]

@@nowthentech thanks mate! And with regards to battery life, how does this stack up? I'm using an S22 ultra with exyonos and it's getting like 3h 50 mins SOT

[@nowthentech]

@Mbuckwright man your looking at 6 hours minimum. Depends also on what you do. But 6 hours is what we got

[@jatingupta4026]

Sir, we actually can buy this one. It's launching globally. Soon will be available in my country as well. Love from India!

[@nowthentech]

Yes if you watch the review I mention Europe and North America. None of which will get it. Thank you and India is very lucky to have it

[@jatingupta4026]

Yea

[@fun4santy]

U mentioned this was bought via Ali express.. so did you have to pay customs? Please let me know. Thank you

[@nowthentech]

Yes we did it

[@spencerfranks7572]

What a great review - really indepth. Thank you

[@nowthentech]

Thank you. Appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching. We have a similar length video for the Find X8 Pro for Sunday as well. Makes an interesting comparison

[@user-mo5yd2et6h]

I have an issue with a rattle sound.. even though I don't shake it, I often hear clicking sound in the camera area.. very annoying 😢😢

[@nowthentech]

I believe that's normal for the periscope lens. I have that on my S23 Ultra and S24 Ultra. No need to worry

[@user-mo5yd2et6h]

This is my first vivo smartphone 😂😂 Previously I used s23ultra, and didn't get that issue 🥲

[@Dark-dx1kv]

Totally normal when ois isnt on xd

[@nowthentech]

@Dark-dx1kv appreciate this input

[@ThanhTran-l9y9b]

It's November 30th but I am not able to find places to buy an English version or a North American retailer. Where do I go?

[@nowthentech]

It isn't available in Europe or North America. It's china and a few other countries. You can buy it from AliExpress via the link in description

[@ThanhTran-l9y9b]

@@nowthentech Thanks but all they have are the CN version everywhere. Is it better to buy a CN version and just set everything up to English?

[@nowthentech]

@ThanhTran-l9y9b that's the exact model we have used in our review

[@tirah1840]

Is there any issue with lens flare from the camera? 😅

[@nowthentech]

We did get some but nothing overly image or video running or we felt worth focusing on

[@shameernisa4165]

They have also kinda sorted that issue with a software update. 👍🏾

[@nowthentech]

@shameernisa4165 amazing. I'll check to see if that update is available to me and report back on the lens flare

[@tirah1840]

​@@nowthentech i see. Thanks. Is there any ads pop up from the phone?

[@nowthentech]

@tirah1840 no not at all

[@MwebazeKeneth98]

Misleading heading "the best you cant buy". Please the Global release is soon.

[@nowthentech]

Not for Europe or north America

[@vincentroy5093]

Global version is already out.

[@nowthentech]

@vincentroy5093 Yes but not Europe or North America

[@Temmple]

@@nowthentech if it’s listed as global does that mean global. I’m under the impressionthis is being released in the US.

[@nowthentech]

@Temmple last I heard from leakers and GSMArena when they say global it's just means out of China. But I hope I'm wrong

[@selvinwright2960]

The global version is already out

[@nowthentech]

Yes but not for every market such as the UK, North America etc. It's still not official in India

[@0s0sXD]

I can get the Chinese version for 400 dollars cheaper than the global verision. What would I be missing out if i go with the Chinese version? I think it's an important question that no reviewer is talking about. How bad is the Chinese software really?

[@nowthentech]

So we bought the Chinese version as that's what we had available to buy. Beyond the apps (which you can delete) and some sub menus which are in Chinese (small amounts) it's totally fine. We used AI features and play store with no issues. Even adding cards etc would be fine too for paying

[@0s0sXD]

@@nowthentech Perfect, thank you very much I will check if the Swedish banking apps and authentication apps work and I will report in this comment after 1 week when I receive the phone

[@nowthentech]

@0s0sXD thanks and I hope they do. You'll get an amazing phone

[@borshisme]

​@@0s0sXD that's exciting

[@disc64]

I understand the beauty filters can't be turned off on Origin OS (Chinese version). Also the global version supports additional frequencies in the 4G/LTE and 5G bands.

[@jessontech2935]

5:33 looks unnatural and overprocessed by ai? 😅

[@nowthentech]

The front facing camera is one of the downsides of the phone

[@minzawmon460]

Myanmar font is very small

[@nowthentech]

More info on screen lol

[@paradise0692]

This vs oppo find x8 pro

[@nowthentech]

I'm currently using the Find X8 Pro. Our review will be up Sunday. Right now though the Oppo is proving very very good

[@pontiacgtx4801]

Oppo has video stabilization issues,forget about it

[@nowthentech]

@pontiacgtx4801 I'm using the Find X8 pro now. Seems good
