Vivo’s upcoming flagship, the X200 Ultra, will feature a dedicated camera control button on the right side, announced by Product Manager Han Boxiao on Weibo. Unlike earlier speculation about an Action Button, this camera key is designed for taking pictures and adjusting parameters with a blue accent and long sliding stroke. The X200 Ultra will have a flat frame and appears slimmer than the iPhone 16 Pro Max. Launching in April, it will downgrade the main camera to a 1/1.28-inch sensor while upgrading the ultrawide to the largest-sensor available, supported by new imaging chips for enhanced processing.
Vivo’s highly anticipated flagship, the X200 Ultra, is set to feature a specialized camera control button located on the right side of the device. There were earlier speculations suggesting that the phone might adopt an Action Button instead.
This information was shared by Vivo’s Product Manager Han Boxiao on Weibo, where he compared the vivo X200 Ultra to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, specifically noting its camera control key. Both buttons are positioned on the lower right side of their respective frames. According to Boxiao, the X200 Ultra’s camera button is specifically designed for capturing photos and will allow users to adjust various settings.
The button is highlighted with a blue accent, and Boxiao mentions that it features a long sliding stroke, though it remains unclear if this means it will have swipe capabilities.
Notably, the image above illustrates that the vivo X200 Ultra showcases a flat frame with a subtly brushed finish. It also appears to be slimmer than the iPhone.
The vivo X200 Ultra is scheduled for release in April, which is earlier than the launch of its predecessor that occurred in June.
Vivo plans to reduce the main camera size from a 1-inch sensor to a 1/1.28-inch Sony Lytia LYT-818 sensor (similar to the one used in the X200 Pro), while upgrading the ultrawide camera to the same LYT-818 sensor, making it the largest sensor for an ultrawide lens in a smartphone to date. The third camera will maintain an 85mm zoom featuring the 1/1.4-inch Samsung HP9 sensor.
Additionally, Vivo will enhance the camera system at a hardware level with two dedicated imaging chips: the post-processing vivo V3+ and the new VS1, responsible for pre-processing parameters such as exposure, focus, color, image stacking, and more.
