EDITORIAL: Another great effort from Vivo. Downgraded UFS speed, camera and a non-LTPO screen but otherwise very close to Vivo X200 Pro in performance, battery endurance, fast charging and screen quality. Highly recommended it you can get the 512GB version, not available everywhere.
PROs
very fast performance by UFS4.0 and Dimensity 9400, 36hr endurance from a 5800mAh Si/C anode battery with sub-40min 90W charging, >1500nits 460ppi 120Hz OLED screen with HDR10+ and >2000Hz PWM dimming frequency, IP69 protection, excellent 50MP 23mm main + very good 50MP 70mm telephoto (both OIS PDAF) + very good 50MP 15mm ultrawide setup,
CONs
non-LTPO screen locked at 60Hz, 90Hz or 120Hz refresh rate, average 32MP non-AF selfie, average video recording, no expandable memory, low number of (years of) OS updates, no desktop replacement feature

EDITORIAL: 8 months after X200 Pro Mini here comes another compact Vivo. Along with Oppo and Xiaomi, Vivo is now clearly after Apple's compact phones profits. This phone looks and feels similar to iPhones falling somewhere in between iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 but delivering clean Android, much better battery life and faster charging.
PROs
very good build, fast Dimensity 9300+ with UFS3.1 performance, >36hr endurance from a 6500mAh Si-C battery with sub-60min fast 90W wired charging, bright >1700nits HDR10+ LTPO AMOLED screen, IP69 element protection, great photos from the 50MP 23mm PDAF main + 50MP 70mm OIS PDAF periscope telephoto (but not) 8MP 15mm ultrawide camera, excellent selfies from a 50MP AF unit, up to 4 years of OS updates
CONs
no AF on the 8MP ultrawide, no expandable storage, no desktop replacement feature, slow USB-C 2.0 port with no video out
