Vivo X200 Series

[Alexz_Hong]

just bought for my bro another black x200 pro 16+512 for $790 after trade in iqoo z9 turbo and membership points claim.

black is seriously sleek. Slightly lighter and thinner. Sides are brushed metal.

on the lens flare issue, it's just over blown. I experienced this 2 days back on a sunny day at Jiu Zhai Gou. All I can say is ok la. Just change angle or use your hand to block a bit of sunlight.

nice! i didn't really get the outrage too. it is true that the X200 series' flare seems a lot more pronounced compared to other phones in comparison, but the way a lot of ppl started flaming reviewers for not mentioning it in their review because they're being paid or whatnot, is overblown. i guess ppl just want to dunk on more popular reviewers just to get some sense of superiority? not to say this type of feedback isn't useful, cause it is more obvious on the x200 for some reason, and hopefully vivo can learn and improve from this. and perhaps reviewers can be more thorough in the future. but the way i see some ppl on bilibili comment is just bit too much liao. lol.

i've tested many phones over the past years and this type of flare shows up on many many phones. it's just how light hit the lens at an angle that causes it. so if kena that kinda of lighting, like you mentioned, just change angle, or try to cover a bit. also, using a case that has individual camera cutouts and is thick enough could help too like the mediastorm video mentioned.

taken on vivo x60 pro years ago. bottom right corner also got the flare.

even if i were the one testing the phone i probably wouldn't even think much of it, or think about whether it's more obvious or less obvious than other phones. to me as long as there is some flare, the photo won't turn out good already, and it wouldn't matter if it's a lot or a little. I'll just retake the photo.

The mobile industry here is ultra competitive. The over blown saga is a stance by competitors since many phone launches this and next month. Last year OnePlus kena.

Anyway, Vivo replied officially liao. In summary, lens flare is a common thing in cameras. Vivo apologize for not being able to meet the expectations of these customers (that expect no lens flare). The team is working on future OTA updates and probably free external accessories to resolve lens flare for such customers.

For anyone wanting to compare, here's the Black and Titanium Color. The back surface of Titanium is a bit like iPhone 15 Pro/16 Pro back brushed surface. In the photo, the Titanium looks lighter but when you see the physical set itself, it is a little little little darker. Titanium handphone cover is transparent TPU case.

The Titanium's lens is pasted with a protective cover from Taobao while the Black one is naked.

If you want to get the display protection, please get those thin ones - 菲林膜, NOT 钢化膜.

Photos taken with iPhone 16PM (selling this piece of sh*t away).

I reside in China so I buy direct from Vivo. SG I think can try Shopee.

I noticed one more very small diff. The lens rim for black is shining surface whereas the titanium one is brushed surface.

I bought mine from Shopee and just got it today! You really have to see the blue one in real life, the pictures don't do it justice (like what the reviewers mention). Only thing is that it's still a fingerprint magnet compared to the rest.

I got it from Fusion One https://sg.shp.ee/uheR99J

I'm not sure how you're seeing Vee selling 16/512 at $1.1k though, but it's still a good price for the 25th Oct sale (maybe you just have a lot of stackable vouchers that i don't)

personally i felt this is pretty bad especially with Zeiss. Zeiss should make some noise since it may impact their reputation

Okay $1.1k for 16/512 hoot!!!

No such issues. OriginOS has a settings to enable Google Services. I used S18Pro, X100 Pro before. Only thing is you need to download Google Play Store apk yourself. In fact OriginOS 5 is much advanced than FuntouchOS.

If you are in China, phone available for sale on Friday only. I preordered last week a Titanium 16GB+1TB in Chengdu, collecting on Thursday evening.

Yeah I'm currently in china. I went take a look. Same time oppo x8 it's out. But I might wait for honor magic 7 pro instead then decide. I have a s23u with me, I wanna get it to replace my old oneplus 9 phone.
