- Vivo will reportedly skip the X200s Pro model altogether and focus on the X200s
- The X200s is expected to bring the Dimensity 9400+ chip and other improvements
- The presentation of the model is planned for April this year
The latest rumors suggest that Vivo has decided not to launch the X200s Pro. This news comes from a known leaker Digital Chat Station, which often accurately estimates manufacturers' plans. Whether it's a portfolio simplification strategy or another reason, this information caught many fans by surprise. Vivo has regularly released both standard and Pro versions of its phones in the past to cater to the needs of a wider range of users.
The reason why Vivo decided to leave out the X200s Pro model is still unknown officially. Perhaps this is due to an effort to focus on other devices, or to optimize costs and production. Since the X200s is said to be equipped with a top-of-the-line Dimensity 9400+ processor, it can be assumed that Vivo wants to present this series as powerful enough even without the "Pro" tag.
There won't be a vivo X200s Pro, new rumor claims

The X200s will bring both performance and a new design
Although the X200s Pro model is unlikely to happen, the standard X200s should be quite ambitious. According to available information, it will come with the latest processor from MediaTek - Dimensity 9400+, which promises not only high performance, but also efficiency. Modern design elements and an improved camera will probably be added to this. Vivo can thus appeal to users who are looking for an excellent performance-price ratio.
For those who crave high-end features, there's still the X200 Pro, which Vivo launched earlier. This phone offers a stunning 6,78-inch LTPO screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, massive performance thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 9400, as well as 16GB of RAM. There is also cooperation with the ZEISS company on a tuned camera.
As for Vivo's next plans, there are speculations about the launch of the X200 Ultra or even a smaller variant of the X200 Pro mini. And while the missing X200s Pro may be disappointing, Vivo clearly wants to keep bringing devices that cater to the needs of all types of users. We'll see if this move proves successful and what interest there will be in the X200s itself, whose introduction is planned for April this year.
While fans of the Pro model will probably feel a little cheated, Vivo is making it clear that it is focusing its efforts on other projects. And who knows, maybe they'll surprise us with something they've been hiding so far. For now, however, let's look forward to the X200s, which promises to be a worthy successor to the successful series.
