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: 14 months after X7 Pro comes a meaningful upgrade with a metal frame, faster performance and real endurance increase. The imaging setup is largely unchanged: an excellent main camera and a 8MP ultrawide with no-AF. Ironman variant is still there too.

PROs
good build with aluminum frame, excellent Dimesity 8500 Ultra with UFS 4.1 performance, 42hr endurance from a 6500mAh Si-C battery with 40min 100W charging, ~1100nits 460ppi 120Hz AMOLED screen with Dolby Vision and very high PWM dimming rate, IP69 protection, excellent 50MP 26mm OIS PDAF main + average 8MP 15mm ultrawide, very good 20MP 21mm selfie, stabile and feature rich HyperOS with 4 years of updates, great value on release
CONs
no wireless charging, screen not as bright as advertised and with limited refresh rate options, no expandable memory, no desktop replacement functionality, slow USB-C 2.0 port (with OTG)
