Vivo X200 Pro is already one of the contenders for the best smartphone camera of 2025

Vivo X200 Pro Review: A Great Package With Stellar Cameras

 

The Vivo X200 Pro has officially arrived, bringing essential upgrades to last year’s impressive X100 Pro. It inherits the same 200-megapixel telephoto lens from the X100 Ultra, which is Vivo’s most advanced camera smartphone to date. But the X200 Pro doesn’t just borrow the best features from the Ultra—it also comes with an aggressive price tag, making it look like a solid all-around package on paper. Plus, the Zeiss imaging partnership continues to shine in its fourth year, adding global credibility to Vivo’s camera prowess.

 

In India, Vivo has solidified its position as the top smartphone manufacturer, largely driven by the success of its Y and T-series models. At the same time, the X-series remains the flagship of their portfolio, carving out a strong presence in the premium segment. Unlike many competitors, Vivo has consistently delivered in the high-end market, which has worked in their favor over the years. Priced at Rs. 94,999, the Vivo X200 Pro looks like an obvious choice. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive into the details in this review.

 

Vivo X200 Pro Design: Aging Like Fine Wine

Colors: Titanium Grey, Cosmos Black
Ingress Protection: IP68 + IP69
Weight: 228 grams (Titanium Grey)

 

In terms of design, the Vivo X200 Pro feels like a refined sibling of the X100 Pro, and that’s a good thing. The X200 Pro builds on its predecessor’s foundation while packing in even more features. If you’ve been keeping up with premium Android smartphones, you’ll notice that devices tipping over 200 grams are becoming increasingly common—something that would’ve been considered heavy just a decade ago. We’ve now entered an era where “heavy” seems to be the new norm.

 

Despite its weight, Vivo has nailed the design and aesthetics, making the X200 Pro surprisingly comfortable to hold. In fact, it feels more ergonomic than some of its counterparts like the iPhone 16 Pro Max and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Vivo has clearly put in the effort to balance luxury with usability, and the result is a phone that’s as pleasing to the eye as it is to the hand.
