Vivo's next generation of top-shelf Android smartphones have started to gain certifications on China's official 3C database, starting with what might be the vanilla X200 variant. It is said to have a much larger battery compared to its predecessor - however, it seems that the trade-off for that upgrade has just been confirmed.

Vivo is currently thought to equip its upcoming premium-grade Android smartphones with new silicon-anode batteries of previously unheard-of sizes such as 6,500mAh in the X200 Pro. The device is also slated to debut with the potentially high-performance MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC, like its vanilla X200 sibling.

One of those handsets has allegedly been added to the 3C safety regulator's records as the Vivo V2415A. Should that be the case, its new certification showcases the main downside to its allegedly massive battery upgrade: slower charging.

The V2415A is cleared to power up at 90 watts (W), whereas the X100 could charge at up to 120W. Then again, according to prolific Digital Chat Station, the "X200" will be able to support wireless charging as well - just at less than the advanced 50W rate of the X100 Pro.

Not much else is known about the vanilla X200, although Digital Chat Station more than vaguely hints that its Pro sibling will have the same updated camera hump as Vivo's new Y300 Pro, even though the latter is a mid-range smartphone.

However, an X200 version would be likely to come equipped with Zeiss logos and more sophisticated camera hardware such as a periscope zoom lens with improved low-light performance.
