The vivo X200 Pro is held with the rear panel, including the round camera island, facing the viewer.
With the powerful Dimensity 9400 application processor under the hood, the vivo X200 Pro, part of the X200 series, is quite a phone. Now vivo is releasing samples of photos taken with the handset's 200MP periscope telephoto camera. Before we discuss the sample photos, let's discuss the main camera on the X200 Pro which is backed by a 50MP Sony IM921 sensor produced using a 22nm process node. While that sensor is smaller than the 40nm sensor used on the X100 Pro, the larger f/1.57 aperture of the lens on the new model allows more light to reach the sensor.
