The highly anticipated vivo X200 Ultra has finally been unveiled, and it’s already creating a buzz. But there’s a catch – vivo currently has no plans to launch the X200 Ultra outside China. While some tech enthusiasts may import it, most fans around the world will only be able to admire it from afar.

vivo X200 Ultra Overview: Power, Prestige, and Photography

Building on the already impressive vivo X200 Pro, the X200 Ultra upgrades nearly every major specification:

• Display: A sharper 1440p+ screen compared to the X200 Pro’s 1260p+ resolution.
• Processor: Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Elite Edition, offering even better performance than the Dimensity 9400 found in the Pro.
• Cameras: Huge improvements here:
  • 50MP 1/1.28” primary sensor with a classic 35mm lens.
  • 50MP 1/1.28” ultra-wide sensor (upgraded from a 1/2.76” sensor in the Pro).
  • 200MP periscope telephoto camera with a wider f/2.3 aperture (vs. f/2.7 on the Pro).

vivo X200 Ultra Price and Variants

The vivo X200 Ultra price starts at CNY 6,500 (around $900 / €775) for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage model. There’s also a high-end 16GB RAM and 1TB storage version with satellite connectivity, priced at CNY 8,000. If you want the exclusive Photography Set, it goes up to CNY 9,700.

For comparison:

• vivo X200 Pro starts at CNY 5,200 (12/256GB).

How Does It Compare?

Looking at rivals:

• Oppo Find X8 Ultra is priced similarly at CNY 6,500, featuring a 1-inch sensor with a 23mm lens, two periscope lenses (50MP 70mm and 135mm), and a 50MP ultra-wide camera.
• Xiaomi 15 Ultra, available globally (except North America), also starts at CNY 6,500. It offers a 1-inch main sensor, two telephoto lenses (50MP 70mm and 200MP 100mm), and a 50MP ultra-wide shooter. However, note the global Xiaomi 15 Ultra has a slightly smaller 5,410mAh battery compared to the Chinese variant’s 6,000mAh.

Clearly, the vivo X200 Ultra vs Oppo Find X8 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra showdown shows fierce competition in the flagship segment.

What About the vivo X200s?

While the X200 Ultra grabs headlines, the vivo X200s quietly makes important upgrades over the standard X200:

• Processor: Upgraded to the Dimensity 9400+ from the standard 9400.
• Storage: Moves to faster UFS 4.1 storage (from UFS 4.0).
• Battery: Increases capacity by 400mAh to 6,200mAh.
• Charging: Adds 40W wireless charging support.
• Display: A compact 6.67-inch screen, slightly smaller than last year’s X100s (6.78-inch).

The vivo X200s price starts at CNY 4,200 (approximately $575 / €500) for the 12GB/256GB model. It’s only a slight bump over the X200, which launched at CNY 4,100 for the same memory configuration.

Would You Buy the vivo X200 Ultra or vivo X200s?

Now the big question:

• Would you buy the vivo X200 Ultra if it were available in your country?
