Vivo X200 and Vivo X200 Pro confirmed for a mid-October launch

Vivo has confirmed it will launch its new flagship smartphones, the Vivo X200 and Vivo X200 Pro on October 14. Previous leaks (and the chipsets on last year's Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 Pro) suggested both phones would launch with MediaTek's Dimensity 9400 SoC; therefore, one can reasonably assume the chip will be announced around the same time.

Specs-wise, the Vivo X200 series is tipped to arrive with massive battery capacity upgrades, with the X200 Pro sporting a colossal 6,500 mAh cell. Of course, its focal point will be the cameras, something Vivo has excelled at with in recent years. Unfortunately, information about its sensors has not shown up yet, but should in the days leading up to its launch.

Performance-wise, the Vivo X200 and Vivo X200 Pro's MediaTek Dimensity 9400 has a lot of catching up to do if it hopes to trade blows with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4. However, Digital Chat Station, a popular Weibo leaker, has said that it could potentially trade blows with Apple silicon. Locally, it has the Oppo Find X8 series, Xiaomi 15 series and OnePlus 13 to compete with, along with Huawei's Mate 70 lineup.
