vivo teases X200's new telephoto shooter with 10x zoom

The vivo X200 series will arrive on October 14, and we expect at least two phones – vanilla and Pro versions. Today, the company shared the first camera sample from the telephoto shooter, revealing a brighter aperture than its predecessor.

A product manager at Vivo shared the image, saying it was taken at 10x zoom without clarifying whether it was all optical or a hybrid magnifaction. Here's the photo, which looks impressive even after the heavy Weibo compression applied.

The camera was previously tipped to sport a new 50 MP Sony IMX882 sensor and an f/2.57 lens in front. It will be equivalent to a 70 mm focal length and will double as a macro shooter, revealed Digital Chat Station. The 10x zoom, according to the leakster, is thus achieved with digital zoom applied on top.

The main camera will have a 50 MP Sony IMX921 sensor that is 1/1.56" in size, with an f/1.57 aperture. The ultra-wide-angle snapper will have another 50 MP sensor, but it's going to be the Samsung ISOCELL JN1.

The vivo X200 series will come with a Dimensity 9400 chipset by Mediatek, despite the fact the phone will arrive around the same time Qualcomm is expected to introduce Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Nevertheless, we expect both platforms to compete in the international market thanks to Mediatek'simproved energy efficiency.
