While rivals push experimental telephotos, Vivo’s phone simply has three equally excellent cameras.
Key facts
- Its €1,999 (about $2,340) price certainly isn’t cheap, and its photography accessories add on hundreds more, though it costs about the same as a 1TB iPhone 17 Pro Max in those same markets
- The 200-megapixel, 1/1.12-inch-type Sony Lytia 901 sensor delivers a serious jump in both size and resolution from last year’s X200 Ultra
- Then there’s the standard flagship stuff, like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, up to 1TB storage and 16GB RAM, and a decent promise of five years of Android OS updates and seven years
- The telephoto camera also has 200-megapixel resolution, with an 85mm focal length and 1/1.4-inch sensor, the same specs as the X200 Ultra
Summary
A few months ago, the reporter wrote that the telephoto camera is the only lens that matters any more, at least when it comes to Ultra-class flagships. As phones got better, cameras became where manufacturers tried to stand out. Instead of pushing its telephoto hardware to further extremes, Vivo has mostly left it be. The main camera is certainly the best of the three. The 200-megapixel, 1/1.12-inch-type Sony Lytia 901 sensor delivers a serious jump in both size and resolution from last year’s X200 Ultra. The telephoto camera also has 200-megapixel resolution, with an 85mm focal length and 1/1.4-inch sensor, the same specs as the X200 Ultra.
