Vivo X200s Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Vivo X200s - a sub-flagship worthy of purchase

The Chinese company Vivo has seriously decided to compete with the most successful smartphone manufacturers in several price segments at once. And so far, the developer has demonstrated its most noticeable success in the high price category. The hero of today's review is trying to be the device that remains affordable, but at the same time does not lag behind the flagships in most technical and other characteristics. And it succeeds in this task 100%.

The appearance of the new product is even a little more interesting than that of the more expensive Pro version. The circle of photo modules is less massive, there are more color variations of the cases. At the same time, there are tactilely pleasant textures of the rear panels, metal edging, narrow frames of the AMOLED panel around the entire perimeter. There is also moisture protection according to IP68 standards, so you don't have to worry about the operability of your mobile assistant after it falls into a puddle. The 6.67-inch AMOLED screen is characterized by good image clarity at a resolution of 2800x1260 pixels. The content is also not deprived of smoothness (the screen refresh rate is 120 Hz), there is also an amazing peak brightness of 5000 nits, and natural color rendition. Of course, it could not do without a built-in fingerprint sensor, an excellent oleophobic layer. In terms of performance, the gadget is essentially similar to expensive flagship alternatives. The MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ processor, 12 GB / 16 GB RAM and Mali Immortalis G925 MC12 video adapter scores almost 3,000,000 points in the AnTuTu benchmark. In games, the bundle behaves almost identically to the top Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, so you can safely set maximum graphics presets everywhere and enjoy smooth gameplay at a frame rate of 60 or more FPS. At the same time, there is no saving on autonomy. The 6200 mAh battery easily implements about two days of active interaction with the phablet. It is great to realize that in addition to wired charging at 90W, there is also its wireless counterpart at 40W. The permanent memory can be 256 GB / 512 GB / 1024 GB.

The installed 50-megapixel (main sensor Sony IMX921 and telephoto lens IMX882 with three-fold optical zoom, both modules with hybrid stabilization, wide-angle camera Samsung JN1) photo sensors will not disappoint even an experienced photographer. It is difficult to take a bad shot even when shooting moving objects in the evening, and the 8K resolution videos are excellent. Of course, there are no problems with the sound in either the stereo speakers or the TWS headphones (LDAC codec). NFC contactless payments, 5G support, and an IR port for controlling household appliances once again emphasize the relevance of the gadget and its approach to the ideal for its price tag.
