Vivo is set to revolutionize smartphone photography with the launch of its X200 series, featuring the world’s first Blueprint × Sony LYT-818 custom sensor. This cutting-edge sensor, built on an advanced 22nm process, promises lower power consumption and incorporates powerful algorithms for exceptional image quality. Vivo claims the camera’s capabilities “match one inch” for still photography and “exceed one inch” for video recording, hinting at impressive low-light performance and dynamic range.

Advanced Camera Technology

The Vivo X200 Pro and Pro Mini models will both leverage the LYT-818 sensor. The Pro boasts a 50MP 1/1.28″ super large bottom main camera with True-TCG HDR+VCS 3.0, achieving single-frame 86dB HDR, a +0.95e-signal-to-noise ratio, and real-time HDR preview. Further enhancing its photographic prowess, the Pro features an exclusive 200MP f/2.67 85mm outsole periscope lens paired with a V3 image chip, covering a focal length from 15mm to 85mm.

The Mini, while utilizing the same LYT818 sensor in its f/1.57 23mm 1/1.28″ super large bottom main camera, opts for an f/2.57″ 70mm midsole periscope lens. Both models offer telephoto and macro capabilities, ensuring versatility for various shooting scenarios.
