Vivo X200 Ultra Teased With iPhone-Like Camera Button

Han Bo Xiao, Vivo's Product Manager, dropped a teaser on Weibo showing off the middle frame of Vivo X200 Ultra. In the image, the handset is placed next to the iPhone 16 Pro Max, showcasing its slimmer design. It is claimed to have a "V-shaped" design, and is confirmed to boast a new "dedicated" camera button on the edge for taking pictures.

The camera button of the Vivo X200 Ultra features a blue strip and supports sliding gestures. It resembles a side fingerprint sensor and can be easily operated using the thumb. The executive says the button will offer a new experience when clicking pictures or adjusting parameters in landscape mode. All models in Apple's iPhone 16 series boast a dedicated camera button on the side to access the camera app quickly.

Vivo already highlighted the camera capabilities of the Vivo X200 Ultra in a set of teasers earlier this week. It is also confirmed to ship with a Vivo V3+ chip and a VS1 chip for imaging. The handset will be launched in April in the company's home turf.

As per past leaks, the Vivo X200 Ultra will come with a 6.82-inch 2K LTPO BOE micro-quad-curved display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It could get a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and boast a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. It is likely to come with IP68 and IP69 dust and water-resistant ratings. The handset is expected to pack a 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired and 50W wireless support.
