Vivo X series is the flagship offering from the Chinese company. It brings an amazing camera setup, and other high-end hardware providing substantial competition in the market. Just this month, Vivo released the X100 Ultra and X100s phones in China. Now, we have already started receiving leaks about the Vivo X200 series. Please note that the following information is entirely based on leaks, and hence should be taken with a pinch of salt. However, this news will be interesting for Vivo fans (and for the fans of high-performance devices.)
This new leak comes from Webo from tipster SmartPikachu. He is a well-known tipster with many accurate predictions, including those about the Xiaomi 14 Ultra. However, as with any leak, it’s important to approach it with caution. The new leak of the Vivo X200 series suggests it will be the first one to feature a Dimensity 9400 processor.
For those unaware, Dimensity 9400 is the next flagship processor from MediaTek. It will go head-to-head with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and power flagship phones. Hence, the hype for this processor is high. MediaTek CEO Cai Lixing has previously teased the Dimensity 9400 chip. It was revealed that it will be the first MediaTek processor built on TSMC’s advanced 3nm (N3E) node. This is a significant upgrade from the Dimensity 9300 with an older N4P node. Hence, the next-gen chip promises substantial enhancements in performance and efficiency.
Gizchina News of the week
Why could the Vivo X200 be the first phone with the Dimensity 9400 chip?
There are multiple reasons that Vivo can be the first to bring Dimensity 9400, validating the above leak.
- Vivo was the first one to bring Dimensity 9300 in its phones. The company introduced the Dimensity 9300 with its X100 and X100 Pro devices. Meanwhile, they were also the first to bring the upgraded Dimensity 9300+ in their phones. Hence, it is likely that Vivo will introduce the next-gen chip too.
- Previous reports suggested that Vivo is involved with MediaTek for the new Dimensity 9400 chip. Vivo is reportedly helping MediaTek in the AI development for the chip.
The above reasons suggest Vivo is likely to be the first adopter of the Mediatek Dimensity 9400 chip. However, it’s wise to wait for official information rather than getting too excited over leaks and rumors. At the moment, the details are scarce on other aspects of the phone and the chip as there are no official statements from Vivo or MediaTek. As a tech enthusiast, the hardware of Vivo X series phones always intrigues me and hopefully, we will get more advancements with the next phone. Rest assured, we will keep you updated whenever there is new information.
