The company posted a 5-minute video showcasing the vivo X200 Ultra’s camera features. While the company has been building up to this announcement for weeks, we already know most of the details about the phone.
The video discusses three cameras: 14mm, 35mm, and 85mm. The 14mm ultra-wide and 35mm main lenses use the same sensor, the Sony LYT-818 1/1.28″. It’s paired with an f/1.69 lens on the main camera, and an f/2.0 lens with OIS on the ultra-wide (more on that later).
The telephoto camera has a Zeiss APO 85mm lens (apochromatic means “free from colour,” i.e., free from colour aberrations). This camera module has a 200mp sensor inside, allowing zooming in beyond 85mm.
The ultra-wide camera has an Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) system that can correct up to 2°. Combined with electronic stabilisation, this can achieve the impressive performance demonstrated in March.
The phone can record video at 4K 120fps from all three cameras or at 4K 60fps with a 10-bit log. It comes with DCG HDR, up to 14 stops of dynamic range, and LUTs for converting logs to REC.709.
As you’ve probably heard, the vivo X200 Ultra will have two image processing chips. Vivo VS1 is the first pre-processing chip from the company and is referred to as an “AI ISP”. With 80 TOPS, it is quite a little beast and an efficient beast, achieving 16 TOPS/W. According to Microsoft, it takes 40 TOPS to certify a computer as being Copilot+ capable. Compared to the Snapdragon 8 Elite, the Snapdragon X Elite has a 45 TOPS NPU. Snapdragon 8 Elite will power the phone, not the Dimensity 9400 of other X200 models.
