The Vivo X200 phones will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC and will run on OriginOS 5 in China. There will also be some new AI features, including real-time on-device translation, one-sentence video editing, and real-time object recognition.
Vivo will use a new type of battery with increased silicon content, which will allow for higher energy density. The new battery technology will also allow the use of Vivo X200 smartphones at temperatures of -20 degrees. The new Vivo X200 Pro Mini will also use the same battery technology, which should last longer (compared to other similarly sized flagships).
