2025 Winners and losers: vivo
"The X200 Ultra kept what made its predecessor excellent, but made it better in every way - the latest chip, a bigger battery with faster charging, a brighter lens over its 200MP zoom camera, and the needed camera innovation to make sure this was one of the best cameraphones on the market (if not the best). The addition of a 35mm main camera over the mass-market 24mm, and giving the X200 Ultra the largest imaging sensor in an ultrawide, ensured that mobile photographers had their hearts set on this phone."
"However, the X Fold5 arrived with an older chipset in the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, the same SoC as its predecessor. And we found that the cameras underdelivered in practice, something we didn't expect of any vivo (let alone a Zeiss-branded one). Add the limited global availability, and the vivo X Fold5 fell short of its potential."
vivo advanced its device lineup in 2025 with multiple technical and camera-focused improvements. The X200 Ultra upgraded chipset, battery, charging speeds, and camera hardware, including a 200MP zoom and a 35mm main option plus the largest ultrawide sensor, producing class-leading imaging performance. The X Fold5 offered lightweight foldable engineering and a large battery but reused an older Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, showed underwhelming camera results despite Zeiss branding, and suffered limited availability. The X200 FE provided a compact, globally available flagship option with excellent cameras and a very large battery for strong endurance.
