It hasn't been officially launched yet, but it's already causing tectonic shifts in the smartphone world. The Vivo X200 Ultra has it all: cameras that would wow a NASA lab, a screen for movie buffs, and a battery that could charge a Tesla. Almost.
If you thought we'd seen it all in the world of smartphones, then you've come to the right place. Viva The X200 Ultra offers a very friendly "hold my beer"The latest device, which has not yet been officially unveiled (but the internet is already buzzing with rumors), comes with all the hallmarks: flagship, beast, camera monster, battery king — and yes, speakers that would be the envy of many a laptop.
Let's go in order. Or rather — first with our eyes, then with our pockets.
Aerospace-grade housing and IP69 protection
Although we don't have exact dimensions or weight yet, we do know something important: glass on the front, glass on the back, aluminum in between. So the classic "glass with an aluminum frame", as we would say in high design language. But more importantly — the phone will be waterproof, dustproof, and according to the IP69 standard. This means that you can (theoretically) wash it with a strong jet of water. What? Yes, exactly that.
6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 3200 x 1440 and support for Dolby Vision and HDR. It displays 1 billion colors and has a 120 Hz refresh rate. In other words: if you watch “Dune: Part 3” on this screen, it will be better than in the cinema. Maybe even too realistic if you don’t like sandworms.
Cameras, cameras, cameras (and then another camera)
Three cameras reign supreme, each with its own superpowerful talent:
- 50MP main sensor with gimbal stabilization. Goodbye, shaky photos.
- 200 MP periscope telephoto with 3.7x optical zoom and macro capabilities. The most powerful sensor in the industry to date.
- 50 MP ultrawide with a 116-degree viewing angle. Ideal for architecture, nature, and group selfies where no one will be cut off.
And if you're interested in video: 8K at 30 fps, 4K up to 120 fps, Dolby Vision HDR support, and gyroscopic stabilization. Yes, this is the phone that will replace many a YouTuber's camera.
A front camera that deserves its own show
50 MP. With autofocus. Records in 4K. If you still think you need a ring light and a filter to take good selfies, think again. This camera will capture you just the way you are almost wanted to be caught.
Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite (aka Terminator chip)
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm) is said to be made up of eight cores, two of which run at 4.32 GHz. That's absurdly fast. If this phone can't handle a game or app, then the problem isn't the phone. And the Adreno 830 GPU promises smooth gameplay even on the most demanding titles.
6000 mAh. Yes, you read that right. This will get your phone through the weekend at the Off Grid festival without an extra battery. It charges with 100W (wired) and 30W wireless, and it even has reverse charging. If you're the kind of person who forget to charge, this will be your dream phone.
Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 24-bit/192kHz audio, USB-C 3.2 with DisplayPort support. And the most interesting: Emergency SOS via satellite on the most powerful model (16 GB RAM + 1 TB storage). James Bond style – only with a better screen.
Conclusion: Will this be “The One”?
Vivo X200 Ultra is still a rumored fantasy at the moment, but if most of this information turns out to be true, we're looking at one of the most interesting devices of 2025. It's not just a phone. It's a camera, a battery station, a mini-computer, and a digital assistant. What's more: it's a statement.
There are no prices yet, but we can tell you something: prepare your soul. And your wallet.
