The Vivo X200 Pro has officially landed in India, and it is making big headlines in the smartphone world. Known for its partnership with Zeiss, Vivo has pushed the boundaries of mobile photography again.

Design and Display: A Visual Treat
The phone feels premium and heavy (around 228g). It features a Quad-Curved Display, meaning the screen curves gently on all four sides (top, bottom, left, and right). This makes it very comfortable to hold and swipe.
- Screen Size: 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED
- Brightness: It peaks at 4500 nits, making it very easy to read even under direct sunlight.
- Durability: It has an IP68 and IP69 rating. This is a big deal because IP69 means it can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. It is tougher than most other flagships.
The Camera: The Main Selling Point
The reason everyone is talking about this phone is the camera system on the back. It has a huge circular camera module with the Zeiss logo.
1. The 200MP Zeiss APO Telephoto Lens
This is the star of the show. While most phones have 50MP zoom cameras, Vivo has used a 200MP sensor (Samsung HP9).
- What it does: It offers 3.7x optical zoom, but because the sensor is so big, you can zoom in up to 10x or 20x with almost no loss in quality.
- Portraits: It takes stunning portrait photos (photos with blurred backgrounds) at 85mm and 135mm focal lengths.
2. The Main and Ultrawide Cameras
- Main Camera: 50MP Sony LYT-818 sensor. It captures great details and works very well in low light.
- Ultrawide: 50MP sensor for wide landscape shots.
3. Video Capabilities
Vivo has improved video quality significantly. The X200 Pro can record 4K video at 120 frames per second (fps), which allows for high-quality slow-motion videos.
Note: Some early users have reported “lens flare” (bright light reflections) when shooting strong lights at night. Vivo may fix this with software updates, but it is something to keep in mind.
Performance: Fast and Cool
The Vivo X200 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. This is a 3nm processor that competes directly with the Snapdragon 8 Elite found in other expensive phones.
- Gaming: It handles heavy games like Genshin Impact and BGMI at maximum settings without overheating.
- Daily Use: Apps open instantly, and multitasking is smooth thanks to the 16GB of RAM.
Battery Life: A Massive Upgrade
Usually, flagship phones have small batteries (around 5000mAh). Vivo has managed to fit a huge 6000mAh battery inside the X200 Pro using new “Silicon Anode” technology.
- Battery Life: It can easily last 1.5 days with normal use.
- Charging: It supports 90W wired charging (0 to 100% in roughly 40 minutes) and 30W wireless charging.
Should You Buy It?
Buy it if:
- You want the best zoom camera available in India right now.
- You take a lot of portrait photos and videos.
- You want a flagship phone with excellent battery life (6000mAh).
Skip it if:
- You prefer “clean” software. Vivo’s Funtouch OS 15 comes with many pre-installed apps (bloatware) that can be annoying at this price point.
- You are on a budget. At ₹95,000, it is very expensive.
