Finally, the Vivo X200 Ultra has launched in China, and this handset was designed to rival or even replace dedicated cameras. It sports a Zeiss-branded triple camera system: two 50MP Sony LYT-818 sensors (35mm main and 14mm ultra-wide) and a 200MP Samsung HP9 periscope telephoto (85mm).
The Vivo X Fold is the company’s first folding smartphone, and it’s definitely no slouch. Featuring an 8.03″ inside screen, 6.53″ outside screen, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 System-on-Chip (SoC), 12GB of RAM, up to 512GB of internal storage, a quad rear camera system (50MP Main + 48MP Ultrawide + 12MP 2x Telephoto + 8MP 5x Periscope), two 16MP hole-punch selfie cameras on each screen, and a 4600mAh battery, all running on Android 12.
Vivo subsidiary iQOO’s 9 Pro BMW M Motorsport Edition might be the best smartphone you’ve never heard about. BMW’s iconic three stripe livery has been found on their race cars since the 1970s, and one feature that sets the iQOO 9 Pro apart from the competition is its gimbal-stabilized rear camera system. The triple camera consists of a gimbal-stabilized 50MP Samsung GN5 main, 50MP 150° fisheye wide-angle and 16MP telephoto sensors.

Vivo Mobile Communication filed a patent for an “electronic device” with the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), and the 20-page documentation included sketches that showed what appears to be a smartphone with a detachable drone-like camera. At first glance, it looks like any other handset, but at the push of a button, a quadcopter device sporting a hidden camera system with a double camera, three infrared proximity sensors, four propellers and an extra battery, pops out.
