More details regarding the upcoming Vivo X200 series have been confirmed. The Vivo X200 series will be the first to see brand new LPDDR5X Ultra Pro RAM, along with the new Sony LYT-818 camera sensor.
The Vivo X200 series to use world’s fastest RAM, while the ‘Pro’ models are getting a new camera sensor
This RAM was announced back in April, and it offers “over 25% improvement in power consumption and performance”. Back then, Samsung mentioned the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip too, as this RAM was validated for use in collaboration with that chip. Yes, LPDDR5X Ultra Pro RAM is the world’s fastest RAM for smartphones.
That will not only make the Vivo X200 and Vivo X200 Pro the first phones to ship with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 flagship SoC, but be the first to utilize this RAM from Samsung as well.
Another detail that Vivo confirmed is the use of the new Sony LYT-818 camera sensor. Vivo said that the Vivo X200 Pro and Vivo X200 Pro Mini will end up using this camera sensor. That probably means that the Vivo X200 will use something else.
The Sony LYT-818 is a 1/1.28-inch camera sensor a successor to LYT-808
In any case, the Sony LYT-818 camera sensor is the successor to the Sony LYT-808 sensor that can be found in the OnePlus 12. This is a 1/1.28-inch sensor which has an 86dB HDR dynamic range per frame. It also comes with a 0.95e signal-to-noise ratio and real time HDR preview capability.
It’s still technically not the flagship sensor from Sony, though. The Sony LYT-900 still holds that position, it’s a 1-inch type sensor from the company. It will likely be used in the Vivo X200 Ultra next year, as it was used in the Vivo X100 Ultra too. Well, unless Sony comes up with its successor, which is a possibility.
The Vivo X200 series will become official on October 14. The three devices will launch in China, though a global launch is expected at a later date. We’re still not sure when, though.
In addition to all this, some new real-life images of the Vivo X200 have surfaced. The device is depicted in a blue color in the gallery below. As you can see, onde the sun hits it, it truly does look very interesting and eye-catching.
