Vivo X200 Pro Vs Vivo X200 (Global versions) Comparison Review

[@tokugennumataka2483]

X200 and the pro donot use the same main camera as you were saying. Pro has the better LYT 818 while the base has the IMX 921

[@Techtablets]

Sorry yes my mistake I thought they were the same sensor! x200 has 1/1.56 sensor x200 pro is 1/1.28

[@Canadanews353]

I use Vivo x200 pro. Cameras vaporize at 4k 60 fps and 4k 120 fps. You only need to shoot 30 seconds of video in cold weather, the inside of the camera will vaporize immediately afterwards. There is water vapor inside the camera. The image quality is very bad.

[@Hhhh22222-w]

​@@Canadanews353Yeah rip, try to return it, maybe the next model won't have issues but any glass encasement/camera lens will fog up during cold weather if you're using the device and generating heat, same thing with a car.

[@flyingaviator8158]

Is the vivo x200 really better then the xiamoi 14 ultra? Shooting videos I mean.

[@Canadanews353]

@flyingaviator8158 Yes, vivo is much better, but when shooting 4k 60 fps video in vivo x200 pro and xiaomi 14 ultra models, the cameras heat up and water vapour gets inside the camera in cold weather. Image quality is bad

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

x200 has 1/1.56 sensor x200 pro is 1/1.28 big difference. I'm glad you mentioned about the video output on the non pro model people should know about that, that's a deal breaker for some including me.

[@Techtablets]

Sorry yes my mistake I thought they were the same sensor!

[@BLAKEEATS1988]

@Techtablets it's cool, I've also learned something today about the video output so it's fine.

[@usmanabdulkadir3334]

Amazing unboxing and first impression keep it up as always Chris Sir

[@Techtablets]

Thanks, will do!

[@hznd7976]

Awesome review as always..would like to see x200 pro origin os and funtouch os side by side in future❤

[@Techtablets]

Okay, not sure that will get many views but let's first see how this does.

[@CliffR]

The X200 Pro has IR blaster in top of camera module. When you open the Smart Remote app it tells you that @3:13

[@CCL2003]

For the main camera sensor: The X200 uses Sony IMX921 while the X200 Pro and X200 Pro Mini uses the Sony LYT-818 for the main camera. FYI. Nice videos as always! Keep it up!

[@evoGage]

Very similar but the pro for me. Purely because of the extra zoom and megapixel count for cropping. Also better fingerprint placement.

[@Techtablets]

Yes that X200 fingerprint reader is too low, annoying when they do this.

[@MrHashisz]

Vivo service recently has become stellar in India, they conduct repairs once part arrives right in front of you.

[@Techtablets]

That's good!

[@HeroDefi]

What about the notifications on the AOD. I heard it's maxed at 4, notifications. Anyways to enable more?

[@addinaam]

if im not mistaken, the x200 use the imx921 for main camera while 200 pro use the latest lyt818..so its different..only the ultrawide use the same sensor

[@Techtablets]

Sorry yes my mistake I thought they were the same sensor! x200 has 1/1.56 sensor x200 pro is 1/1.28

[@xXBYRSALPHAXx]

All is good about this phone, but the major flaw to this phone is the halo ring formation even though it used T star coating

[@Techtablets]

Yes you do notice this. I pointed it out in my camera comparison hwo bad it can be: kzbin.info/www/bejne/omeciHWLgadpgZI

[@ewux]

can u show the os in comparisson (funtouch vs originos) and give an opinion in which points which one is better??

[@HILKINDRIP]

Origin much better

[@user-mo5yd2et6h]

​@@HILKINDRIPMuch much much better 😂

[@TheGoldenDonuttt]

If we dont use android auto , is it still worth it to get the Chinese rom Origin OS? I just need the social media apps and probably something like Apple Pay / G Pay . Am also concern about delayed notifications

[@Techtablets]

Then it's worth if, you just have to debloat all the Chinese apps and also give whatsapp, messenger etc full permissions then no issues.

[@Ducky-96]

The main difference : - Screen (only pro have LTPO) - Main Cam - Telephoto Cam - Features (wireless, usb 3.2, others)

[@EzioFilho-e9e]

Great video as always Chris. Just one question, are those phones coming to Europe? I couldn't find information regarding this :(

[@Techtablets]

They are but so far a paper release!

[@prannoy619]

What's your personal pick between findx8, vivo x200 and iqoo 13? Not interested in gaming performance.

[@Techtablets]

IQOO 13 for the price

[@DawnCrusader4213]

Did the global version finally ditch Google Dialer in favor of Vivo Dialer? Is it available everywhere or is it region locked? Also does it come with Call Recording like the OriginOS one?

[@Techtablets]

Unfortunately no call recording, Google stock dialer.

[@Getquora]

You can install Google apps but I would recommend you Chinese origin os because it's a lot cheaper than global

[@BinodTharu-kj2bh]

I think you should compare xiaomi 14 with vivo x200 camera ❤

[@kurttyy17]

Please make a vid about x200 pro (China rom) vs X200 pro (Global version)

[@Techtablets]

Not sure that will get good views.

[@Techtablets]

I find OneUI is better Funtouch is okay and has certainly improved a lot

[@markdarwinvillarta3768]

Do a global and chinese pro version comparison too Chris, Thanks! maybe there are some software compromises specially camera performance

[@blue-medusa]

Thanks for mentioning that piece about the "beautifying" feature on the Chinese version; I've been wondering about that. Super disappointing for the models that are Chinese-only (eg. the upcoming x200 Ultra), but I'm glad to hear the global version has removed that.

[@mrjuice24]

Vivo not selling in UK mate. Where can I buy one of these from UK ?

[@Techtablets]

I've asked Vivo no reply yet.

[@amirbahalegharn365]

thnx for he review, now that you have reviewed x200 normal version. between 4000-4700rmb, base version, which one is better ? "ranking" from oneplus 13, vivo x200,vivo x200 pro mini, iqoo 13? i don't think nubia z70 ultra can compete even with better photos produced by gcam banana config, UI problems reported in chinese forums are many which means poor optimization plus only 1 android version upgrade or3 years security . if there is another flagship phone worthy i forgot, please add . thnx in advance

[@farishanafiah8461]

If only X200 and also X200 Pro mini has USB3 with wired video output. Even without Vivo's own custom Desktop Mode, it would still be a stellar feature to have.

[@Techtablets]

Yes would be nice!

[@mistertech332]

At night it has a good night mode but the colors are saturated and there is noise but even so during the day it also sometimes has strange HDR but I want to see the new Xiaomi 15 Ultra with the 200MP zoom but I have to choose a new smartphone well in 2025

Nice review 👌…. Now what about touch latency rate on those android phones (not screen refresh rate )? Am trying to break out of ios but weirdly i cant find a phone that matches the iOS devices touch response time

Global? Can't find it anywhere....

[@mistertech332]

It will not be available in certain European countries, only in India.

Global version is unfortunately usually misleading with Vivo. Their global phones are always very hard to find and extremely expensive if you do manage to find them.

In India the difference between Vivo 200 pro and iqoo 13 is approx 300$. Vivo is way expensive even though it ships with a Mediatek processor. Whereas iQOO is way cheaper even though it comes with the latest Snapdragon Elite processor. Weird pricing by Vivo for their core brand and sub-brand 🤔

My X90 Pro often has sxreen glare on night shots, read samw with X100 Pro also, amd 200 Pro also. Vivo keeps getting more expensive without adding much. And not a fan of dimensity either

Excellent bokeh. Just look at the hair of the girl. Transition between hair and the background is fantastic!

X200 doesn't get LTPO, it's a downgrade from X100.

[@praba991ify]

This or s24 ultra😢

[@Dante440x]

Its just poor marketing from vivo, making similar looking phones with slightly different tech. some of us would want the size and weight of X200 with the specs of X200 pro. Why can't they just make 1 size around 6.5 -6.6 inches? Iqoo 13 camera island looks better with the led ring light. Very confusing vivo is, unnecessary amount of models that confuses people end up not buying neither of them lol. Notice most of their slimmer and lighter phones with good specs are meant for China only. I see every other crap models with crap specs being shipped out with immediate availability for global users. Its where they fail ultimately.

[@jeffreymathews398]

You need the size of the pro to fit those high-end specs that you want, eg 200MP periscope needs more PCB area to fit the module and more area to spread the camera system accordingly to achieve heat managment. They should be able to do some thing in a smaller size as both Pixel 9 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro are delivering similar specs. But because of the large Periscope camera they cannot provide a smaller Pro version with high-end specs.

[@Dante440x]

@@jeffreymathews398 well could go with a smaller periscope then maybe not 50 since its already there, perhaps 100mp or 150mp. the idea is to get to below 200g, height at 158mm, below 8mm thickness. like how the s20 plus series. Its perfect size. neither heavy or too long. Pretty sure they can figure it out. But no, they went with 3 different models and 2 is unnecessary. The X200, and X200 pro mini. Guess what, X200 carries the same periscope as the X200 Pro mini which is too small but has the wireless charging and only available in china lol. Its absolute rubbish marketing and made in such a way that if you buy either, you wish you had the other one lol. Its clear what they are trying to do. The s20 pro is almost perfect size and carries the same 50mp periscope but again, its only for china market. I mean we are trying to move on from samsung here but these idiots are not giving us a chance.

If the camera bump wasn't so ugly and it had pixel software I would buy it instantly

I actually own x200 pro, believe me it's a very compact and beautiful phone. I have sapphire blue and it's gorgeous 🥰😍 I am loving it. Bump is big but in real life it's not that big I thought this phone is bigger than my previous S23ultra but it's actually smaller and compact

[@Yoryi.daths99]

Pixel software is overrated as fu

@Getquora It's strange that you didn't know that vivo is smaller, because the s23 ultra is one of the biggest phones. And Vivo is still big because it is bigger than iPhone 15 pro max

In the description

[@rolins3279]

For me, the Vivo X200 doesn't even exist, too many hardware shortcomings (USB-C 2.0, optical fingerprint reader and badly placed...) and above all, (already) too many software restrictions compared to the X200 Pro, for me, it's unacceptable for a smartphone sold at 800€ at the end of 2024 (please, don't talk to me about standard iPhones 🙏🏽) , imagine what it will be like at the software level in 1-2 years 🤷🏽‍♂️ As for the Vivo X200 Pro, for many people, it could actually currently be considered "the best smartphone of 2024-2025" and it's clearly better than the Oppo Find X8 Pro (which for me is a real regression compared to the previous Oppo) on the other hand the Find X8 Pro it's a better deal than the Pixel 9 Pro XL 🤧 But, but, but, just like as I will never put more than $500 so $1000 in a smartphone with Exynos processor but especially in a smartphone with Tensor processor 🤧, similarly, I will never put more than $500, so $1000 in a smartphone with a Mediatek processor, at least not as long as the problems of drivers / codecs compatibility, applications optimization, emulation, Custom-Rom and Mediatek software support are not solved. If I were to buy an Oppo, Vivo, I'd wait for the Oppo Find X8 Ultra, Vivo X200 Ultra. Personally, I'm waiting for the S25 Ultra (even if hardware-wise it won't really be the best), for me, a smartphone is not only the camera but many other factors such as the quality and stability of the software, the software tracking, and above all the security of our personal data. 🚶🏽‍♂️ 🚶🏽‍♂️ 🚶🏽‍♂️
