Vivo X200 Pro review: I spent five days with the 200MP Zeiss telephoto camera phone

A photo of the X200 Pro smartphone.

We've been using the Vivo X200 Pro for five days across Beijing and Shenzhen in China, and London in the UK, testing out its 200MP periscope cameras, giant batteries and the bleeding edge MediaTek Dimensity 9400 within. While our Chinese version of the phone isn't quite review-ready for Western users like us, its camera is, and the phone is expected to drop later this year in more markets, including Europe, so here's a sneak peek of what you can expect.

You may have tried the Vivo X90 Pro or X100 Pro, two phones loaded up with 1-inch primary camera sensors. The Vivo X200 Pro shakes things up, shrinking the main camera sensor to 1/1.28-inch while supersizing the periscope zoom sensor size and resolution to 200MP. The result is the best zoom camera we've ever used on a smartphone. More on that later.
