vivo has unveiled its latest entry-level smartphone, the vivo Y200+. It's essential not to confuse this model with the more powerful X200 series, which features the advanced Dimensity 9400 application processor. Instead, the Y200+ is equipped with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor, making it a more budget-friendly option, priced starting at 1,099 yuan (approximately $150). Let's delve into its specifications and pricing structure.
The vivo Y200+ boasts a 6.68-inch LCD display with an HD resolution of 720 x 1608 pixels. While not a high-end screen, it does offer a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 1000 nits, which enhances the viewing experience.
The device comes in two RAM options—8GB and 12GB—and two storage variants—256GB and 512GB. Here are the pricing options:
- 8GB RAM + 256GB storage - 1,099 yuan ($150)
- 8GB RAM + 512GB storage - 1,199 yuan ($164)
- 12GB RAM + 512GB storage - 1,499 yuan ($205)
The camera setup includes a 50MP main camera along with a 2MP depth sensor for creating portrait-style bokeh effects. For selfies, a 5MP front-facing camera is also provided. The Y200+ features a robust 6000mAh battery, paired with an HD resolution display, promising excellent battery life, and supports fast charging at 44W. Users can unlock the phone using a side-mounted fingerprint sensor or facial recognition.
The device is available in three colors: Dark Night (black), City in the Sky (light green), and Apricot Sea (pink). The phone measures 165.70mm x 76mm and has a thickness of 7.99mm, along with an IP64 rating, providing protection against dust and splashes of water.
