On April 27, vivo Product Manager Bo Wang Han posted on Weibo, "Busy with the first sale of X200s until midnight on the 25th. Courier drivers, warehouse staff, and even security guards stayed up late with us. As soon as a batch was ready, it was immediately shipped out. Many people received their units just straight off the production line. X200 Ultra will be in short supply, but X200s has doubled its growth, selling hundreds of thousands of units, which is unexpected."

The two products mentioned by Bo Wang Han are flagship models recently released by vivo, focusing on imaging capabilities and compatibility with the Apple ecosystem.

In particular, vivo X200s is called the "best Apple substitute" because it achieves interconnection with the Apple ecosystem. Various messages and calls from iPhone can be synchronized on both devices, and all kinds of files including Live Photos can be transferred by tapping. Vivo claims that this phone takes into account every aspect for Apple users.

In terms of configuration, vivo X200s is equipped with the Dimensity 9400+ chip, and with the support of the Zeiss Super Telephoto Long Lens, it supports up to 20x long-range macro photography. It features a 6200mAh battery paired with 90W wired flash charging and 40W wireless flash charging. The design adopts a 2.5D flat screen with a metal frame, offering four color options: light purple, mint blue, pure white, and simple black. Its appearance bears some resemblance to the iPhone.

vivo X200 Ultra highlights its imaging capabilities as a key selling point, with three rear lenses enhanced by Zeiss technology: the second-generation 85mm Zeiss APO Super Telephoto Lens, a 35mm F1.7 large aperture main camera lens, and a 14mm ultra-wide-angle lens.

To further enhance real-time image processing capabilities, based on the self-developed V3+, vivo X200 Ultra introduces the new VS1 chip for front-end RAW domain data processing, forming a three-layer real-time processing chain from VS1 - ISP - V3+. On this basis, vivo X200 Ultra achieves full focal length video format cameras and even claims its video shooting capability surpasses that of the iPhone.

In terms of configuration, X200 Ultra is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Ultimate Edition chip, a 6000mAh Blue Sea Battery; it uses a 2K Zeiss Master Color Screen; it supports seamless integration with the iOS ecosystem, enabling functions such as answering calls, receiving text messages, viewing notifications, and locating devices.

Based on market statistics from Counterpoint, as the first Ultra imaging flagship, vivo X100 Ultra achieved sales of over 200,000 units in six months. Now, the fully upgraded vivo X200 Ultra maintains its starting price at 6499 yuan and offers more abundant and practical accessories. The institution stated that the market performance of vivo X200 Ultra will far exceed that of its predecessor.

In the context of frequent new product releases from domestic brands, Apple's mobile phones continue to face pressure in the Chinese market. According to data released by IDC, in the first quarter of this year, Apple was the only brand among the top five smartphone manufacturers in China to experience a decline in shipments, with a drop of 9%. The institution believes that geopolitical uncertainties and fluctuations in the macroeconomy will lead to greater pressure for Apple in the Chinese market.
