vivo X200 tipped to have a smaller screen than the X100

vivo launched the X100 back in November of last year, and currently the company is hard at work on its successor, the X200. A few details about the X200 have been leaked on Weibo today by the prolific Digital Chat Station.

According to him, the X200 will come with the Dimensity 9400 chipset, a "1.5K" screen that will be "relatively small" and flat, and a narrow frame design.

The phone will get three 50 MP cameras on the back, including a 3x periscope zoom one, and of course there will be vivo's self-developed imaging chip on board too. There will be an optical in-display fingerprint sensor apparently, while the X200 Pro is expected to get an ultrasonic one instead.

Based on this, we can assume that the X200's screen will be smaller than that of the X100 - perhaps vivo is trying to introduce some more differentiating factors between the vanilla model and the Pro this year (the fingerprint sensor tech being another).

That reminds us of Xiaomi's strategy and in fact the X200 could very well have a screen size more reminiscent of the Xiaomi 14 than the X100. But of course this is all speculation, as DCS only said "relatively small", keep that in mind.
