Vivo X200 Camera Review

The Vivo X200 series has arrived with a blend of exciting updates and its ongoing collaboration with Zeiss for the cameras. Sporting a triple 50-MP camera setup and a price tag of ₹65,999, Vivo hopes to capture consumers' attention with its latest offering. But does it deliver? Let's dive in.

Camera Setup

The Vivo X200 features a triple 50-MP camera array, complete with the familiar Vario-Tessar label:

• Main Camera: 50 MP | Sony IMX921 sensor | CIPA 4.5 stabilization

• Ultrawide Camera: 50 MP | Samsung JN1 sensor

• Telephoto Camera: 50 MP | Sony IMX882 sensor | 3x optical zoom | 100x digital zoom | 15 cm macro

• Front Camera: 32 MP | Ultra-Wide f/2

Also notable is Vivo's VCS Camera-Bionic Spectrum 2.0 and Super Hard AR Coating on the lenses, alongside the Mediatek Dimensity 9400 processor.

Look, Body, and Feel

Before we get into the cameras, let's talk about design. The Vivo X200 embraces a flatter profile this time, and I must say, the grip feels excellent. The display is slightly smaller than the X100, and the phone sits comfortably in the hand while maintaining an impressive, modern aesthetic.

That said, the textured edge of the camera module on the back feels awkward. It's uncomfortable for your finger to rest on - something a cover partially remedies but doesn't eliminate completely. It's a small hiccup in an otherwise great in-hand experience.

Daylight Performance

Main Camera

The main camera shoots at 14.3 MP (23mm) resolution and delivers vibrant, well-saturated images. Shots come out crisp and sharp, even when shooting against the sun. However, you may notice slight lens flaring and over-processing when zooming in, which can reduce overall clarity. Still, the camera handles shadows and highlights decently, brightening darker areas effectively.
