Via a new update from a reliable tipster on the Weibo platform, the expected launch time frame of the chip has been revealed. Moreover, OPPO and Vivo are said to be the first smartphone makers to launch devices featuring the latest and upcoming MediaTek chip.

MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ Chip – Expected Launch Time Frame and First Devices to Feature it

This update comes from the Weibo tipster – Digital Chat Station, who in his post notes that many new straight screen phones equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip are in works and will be released. MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400+ chip (X925) is also pointed out to have attained a primary clock speed of 3.7 GHz at present and it is tipped to launch in March 2025, two months later. Furthermore, two smartphone makers are revealed to launch devices featuring this latest MediaTek Dimensity chip first, and from what it seems, they are believed to be OPPO and Vivo.

The small straight screen light weight periscope telephoto phone is likely the OPPO Find X8 mini (OPPO Find X8S is also said to use the same processor), whereas the large straight screen camera phone with all round ultrasonic fingerprint reader is possibly the Vivo X200s model (older updates suggested it to use the same Dimensity 9400 chip which powers the already launched X200 series devices). To add, the Find X8 mini is tipped to have a 6.3″ display screen, and on the other hand the X200s model is expected to offer a 6.67″ display.

Both these OPPO and Vivo smartphones are suggested to launch in the earlier half of this year itself in 2025 and we can expect the two brands to announce the launch following the release of the MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ chip. Stay tuned.

While the tech world is coming across a lot of updates and reports concerning Vivo’s fourth and upcoming X200 Ultra iterative camera flagship, alleged render images of this smartphone have been circulating online, claiming to be true. Turns out it isn’t, and the device in the render images is just an already unveiled Vivo X200 series model.

Here’s more about it.

Vivo X200 Ultra Render Images Now Circulating are INCORRECT!

A recent update from an online tech news publisher had pointed out that Vivo’s next X200 Ultra smartphone had made it to China’s TENAA certification database, via which the render images of this upcoming device were also revealed. However, it has now turned out that the images are in fact wrong and not of the X200 Ultra’s, but of the already-launched Vivo X200 Pro Satellite Communication Version’s (model number – ‘V2405DA’, White Moonlight color).

While some may still argue stating that the placement of ZEISS branding is different, it is because of the fact that the model that was mass produced and the one that was uploaded on the MIIT certification are slightly different. The Vivo X200 Pro Satellite Version’s listing on the MIIT database further clarifies it, ruling out the now circulating Vivo X200 Ultra renders as incorrect.

Speaking more, Vivo’s Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered X200 Ultra model is believed to have its launch a little earlier this year, and is suggested to debut in either March or April of 2025. The device is also tipped to sport a 50MP (1/1.3) ultra-large bottom main camera, a 50MP (1/1.3) ultra-large bottom ultra-wide angle camera, a 200MP large bottom periscope telephoto camera with custom optics, along with a super telephoto macro lens. Moreover, this smartphone is also now revealed to first feature the brand’s next generation imaging chip, which will be focusing more on providing better telephoto and video capturing capabilities.

Stay tuned for more updates.

The post Vivo’s X200 Ultra Images Now Circulating Online is Actually X200 Pro Satellite Version’s and NOT OF THE UPCOMING DEVICE’S appeared first on The Tech Outlook.

Following the debut of three X200 series devices in the Chinese market, Vivo, one among the leading smartphone makers, have already unveiled two of its latest X200 series devices in the global market as well. The fourth smartphone of the series, the X200 Ultra, has been reported to be in work and it is said to hit the market in the early half of next year.

Now, via a new update, the alleged render image and key specs of this upcoming X200 series device have been shared online. Reports also are revealing that the X200 Ultra may have its launch a little earlier than the launch time frame of its predecessor.

Read more about the update below.

Vivo X200 Ultra – Alleged Render Image and Key Specs

As per previous updates, Vivo’s X200 Ultra is expected to sport a triple camera unit at its rear and the render image that has been shared aligns with it. However, when compared to the X100 Ultra model, the render image points to only three interior circular units instead of four, and the ‘fake’ one has possibly been removed. The camera module as such is circular in shape with Black interior and a Silver/Gray exterior outline. The ZEISS branding can also be spotted within the camera module, whereas the Vivo branding is present at the bottom of the rear panel.

About the display, while it is being said that the X200 Ultra will probably be featuring a micro-quad-curved display, according to the render image, it has a curved-edged display, with only noticeable curved design at the left and right sides of the display screen. An in-display fingerprint scanner (likely ultrasonic) can also be found in the display.

Regarding the side panels, it is seemingly thin with antenna lines along it. The volume rocker and power button are, just like before, placed at the right side panel. The device in the alleged render image is also featured in a Grayish color.

Speaking more, this alleged render image of the Vivo X200 Ultra appears more or less similar to the previous X100 Ultra model itself, thus deeming it as not the final design or render of the upcoming X200 series flagship. So, it is best to take this information with a pinch of salt and let’s wait until more updates give a better clarity on the matter.

Coming to the revealed specifications, based on the new update, Vivo X200 Ultra is suggested to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and is coupled with up to 24GB RAM (LPDDR5X) and ‘2TB’ of storage (UFS 4.0). Its display is mentioned to be a 6.82″ OLED micro-quad-curved display with 2K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 5000 nits peak brightness. At the rear, a triple camera system equipping a 50MP LYT818 main camera, 200MP HP super large base telephoto camera (85mm focal length), and 50MP LYT818 camera with 70mm macro telephoto combination are said to be present. The same 50MP selfie camera could also be offered. A 6000 mAh larger battery may be packed within the device, supporting 90W wired and 50W wireless charging features.

Other revealed expected key specs include the ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner, satellite communication, Bluetooth version 5.4, NFC, infrared remote control, and IP68/69-rated body.

Vivo is expected to launch its next X200 Ultra smartphone in the first half of next year, and as per what is now being said, the expected launch is possibly going to take place in March or April 2025, a little before than the previous May 2024-released X100 Ultra launch time frame.

Stay tuned for more updates.

The Chinese consumer electronics maker, Vivo, following the debut of its X200 series devices in its home market, very recently also made two models available to its global consumers as well and now, the brand has rolled out the very first system update to the X200 Pro global model. From what has been revealed, the update will be bringing few optimizations along with the latest Google security patch.

Here’s more about it.

Vivo X200 Pro – New System Update Rolling Out in Global Market

This new Funtouch OS 15 system update that is being rolled out to the global consumers of the Vivo X200 Pro smartphone has the firmware version – ‘PD2405F_EX_A_15.0.9.23.W30’ and has a size of 485MB. As noted above, notably the December 2024 Google security patch will be integrated with the update, further improving the system security.

Other optimizations include compatibility with certain car kits, enhanced standby power consumption to improve battery life, and improvements in Albums to assure better system security.

As always, users must keep in mind that while the update process won’t cause any data loss, it is best advised to backup the device before updating. Also, during the update process, more battery charge may be consumed and the device temperature is likely to increase. After updating, when the device is charging and in idle state, battery optimizations will take place which will further improve user experience, and on the other hand, post-update, the temperature will slowly drop on its own. The downloaded installation package will be deleted automatically after the update process, ensuring that no storage space is unwantedly consumed.

Also to add, if Vivo plans to adopt the same approach which was used for the previous X100 series models, more system updates can be expected for the X200 series devices too.

Vivo X200 Pro users will most likely be notified of the update once it reaches the device, or they may check for the latest update by visiting ‘Settings’ and then navigating to ‘Software updates’.

The Chinese smartphone and other consumer electronics maker, Vivo, debuted its latest flagship X200 series back in the month of October 2024 and two of the latest smartphone devices of the series were unveiled in global markets such as Malaysia and India on a later date.

Following the Chinese debut itself, a user of the X200 Pro model had shared how in his particular piece glue has overflowed towards the end, while another user commented that the in-hand feel of the device is really uncomfortable.

It seems that an Indian user of the X200 Pro smartphone is also facing a similar issue and he has addressed his concern and revealed the images of the device via the X platform. Read more about the update below.

Vivo X200 Pro – Display Fitting Issue Pointed Out by Indian User

As per what this Indian user(@Amircha12191640) of the latest Vivo X200 Pro device has revealed, the entire glue of the display is visible when looking at the side of it. He has actually criticized the work of Vivo done on one of its flagship models, and shares his worry on how this would hinder the IP68/IP69-rated dust and water resistance capability.

It has further been added that on visiting the brand’s service center, the customer care executive did not seem to understand the issue and suggested that there are no problems on the device. However, if a display issue is caused, with the absence of the IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance capability, it is obvious that the customer care executive would possibly say that there has been a liquid damage and warranty can’t be claimed.

Just to add, via this X post, Vivo India might have understood the gravity of the matter and has asked the respective X200 Pro user to contact them in a private message. Let’s wait and see what the brand has to say regarding the issue.
