In the past, the Sony Xperia Z Compact was considered a powerhouse in a small package. However, as consumer preferences shifted, smaller phones became less popular, similar to the fate of the iPhone “mini.”
Despite the limitations in functionality such as the need for a large battery and space for camera components, some brands manage to surprise us. This time, it’s the Chinese smartphone giant Vivo.
Recently, Vivo unveiled its X200 series phones, with a special emphasis on cameras. The highlight of the event was the introduction of the Vivo X200 Pro mini, a new “mini” member of the series that looks impressive.
A Powerful Compact Flagship
The Vivo X200 Pro mini stands out as a compact powerhouse without compromising on features. With an incredible price tag, it poses a serious threat to the competition.
Featuring a 6.3-inch OLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and a remarkable peak brightness of 4,500 nits, the X200 Pro mini rivals top flagship devices.
Powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chip, the performance of this phone surpasses even Apple’s A18 Pro on synthetic benchmarks.
Despite its size, the X200 Pro mini accommodates a massive 5,700mAh battery, setting it apart from the competition. It also offers 90W wired charging and 30W wireless charging, showcasing Vivo’s commitment to innovation.
Impressive Hardware Package
The camera setup on the X200 Pro mini is impressive, featuring a trio of 50-megapixel sensors, including a periscope-style zoom camera for versatile photography options. The phone excels in both photography and videography.
Backed by AI capabilities and robust hardware, the X200 Pro mini offers exceptional performance with up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage.
With a starting storage capacity of 256GB and IP69 certification, the X200 Pro mini offers durability and ample storage for users.
An Alluring Compact Phone
Priced at CNY 4,699, the Vivo X200 Pro mini offers exceptional value compared to mainstream flagship devices. Its availability in global markets could further shake up the smartphone industry.
Vivo’s ability to deliver a compact flagship without compromising on features showcases that small phones can compete with larger counterparts while offering superior specifications at a competitive price.
It’s a lesson for other manufacturers like Samsung and Google, emphasizing the importance of innovation and value in the smartphone market.
