Smartphone photography is something that has evolved exponentially over the last decade. Its a whole new era when we speak of the point and shoot devices. And its the smartphones that are gradually taking over high-end professional cameras. Vivo is one of the brands that have excelled in the smartphone camera segment and its X series has been a marvel in this space. This series is just refreshed with two new fresh models, the Vivo X200 and the X200 Pro. The former is the base model that brings a combination of high-end camera setup, a vivid display, powerful performance, and battery life. Priced at Rs. for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, this new X series phone seems a lucrative deal for all mobile photography enthusiasts. But is it really worth an upgrade? At Giznext, we have reviewed this handset and here’s what we think:
Vivo hasn’t given a complete overhaul to the X200 series’ design when we compare it with the precursor. But despite the subtle changes, the design looks refreshing overall. Specifically, the camera island which remains round but has better alignment of the lenses and flash module giving it a rather symmetrical and even.
Also, the size of the camera module has increased slightly making it more prominent part of the design. The material used to craft the back panel this time is glass and glass fiber combined with aluminum alloy frame which adds to both visual appeal as well the sturdiness.
This phone measures 16.027 cm × 7.481 cm × 0.799 cm in dimensions and weighs 202 g. Do note that the Comsos Black variant is slightly lighter at 197 grams compared to the Natural Green version. We liked the overall grip of this device (without case) which allows easy single-hand operations. But be careful, this phone tends to slip away easily from hands due to its smooth texture overall.
You will also notice the back panel picking up fingerprints which is why we will recommend you to use a protective back case. A transparent TPU case ships with the retail box, but upgrade to sturdy aftermarket cases is always an option. Placement of the ports and keys are same as the precursor. You get the right-spine mounted power and volume keys, while the bottom panel has the USB Type-C charging port sandwiched between the speaker grille and the SIM tray.
Vivo has equipped the vanilla X200 with an OLED panel that measures 6.67-inches. While the screen size is slightly reduced compared to the predecessor (X100), the quality isn’t compromised even a bit. The panel supports FHD+ resolution (2800 x 160 pixels) and also has 10-bit (HDR10+) compatibility.
Color production and overall visuals are superb with the panel producing real-life like colors. Thanks to the Zeiss technology that not just powers the camera but also the display (Zeiss Master Color Screen) improving the visuals.If you are amongst those users who are addicted to the screen and binge watch on shows or movies, you are in for treat with the X200.
And if you are also a fan of brighter displays, the X200 with 4500 nits peak brightness is definitely going to impress you. You hardly struggle while viewing content under direct sunlight. This panel integrates an optical fingerprint scanner which does its job well. Unlocking accuracy as well as speeds is high.
Vivo’s X series has been all about cameras right from the beginning. And the game has been stepping up each year with the new X series launch. Vivo has once again partnered with Zeiss to bring exceptional camera experience to the X200 lineup which is evident even with the vanilla X200 model.
It’s primary rear camera island employs a 50MP main Sony IMX291 sensor with OIS, a 50MP Samsung JN1 wide-angle sensor with 119° FoV, and a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto lens with OIS and 3x optical zoom. While the telephoto lens here isn’t as big as the 200MP unit used on the Pro model, the output it offers surely is top-notch. The camera mode is loaded with the same new advanced shooting modes like the Pro variant.
Portrait shots via the Zeiss telephoto sensor are sharp even when the shots are captured from far. You can select multiple focal lengths and multiple pre-set Zeiss modes (ZEISS Multifocal Portrait) suiting the scene. The depth clarity is high and the variety you get to capture with the bokeh effects is exceptional.
Even the zoom shots speak volumes of the quality which Vivo is providing from mobile photography. Here is a sample of the full moon captured by the Vivo X200 vanilla variant. this shot is captured without any tripod. You can notice how it manages to capture stable zoom shoots without compromising much on the quality.
The X200 is also a master when it comes to macro photography. The new-gen X series phone supports Telephoto macro mode which captures the tiniest details with closeups. And you don’t always have to move closer to get ultra clear macro photos. Samples are attached here.
Night photography has also got better with the X200 series. The Night mode makes the images look sharper and the clarity is well retained in each click. Grains and noise hardly aren’t evidently visible and the edge detection is to the point.
Landscape mode, Astro, Supermoon, Slow-mo, and Pano are some of the standard camera modes you get to click pictures with on the X200 series. Selfie lovers will be pleased with the 32MP snapper packed upfront. The quality is all refined with the added Zeiss modes.
Selfie portraits also look natural. Well, this still isn’t the complete overview of the X200’s camera potential and we still are coming across its prowess. The X200 series has just got better with imaging capabilities and surely beats the top rivals in its league.
Just like the previous year, Vivo has used MediaTek’s flagship Dimensty 9000 series chipset to drive the X200 lineup. The Dimensity 9400 SoC under X200’s hood churns out better CPU performance. The unit has been reliable with daily as well complex tasks throughout our usage. Vivo is offering the X200 with 12GB RAM+ 256GB storage and 16GB RAM+ 512GB storage.
Both variants are powerful with computing speeds and can effortlessly meet your requirements be it media play back, gaming, or web browsing, etc. That said, gaming experience is top notch too with the phone being able to maintain stable temperatures during heavy gameplay. Enabling the highest graphic settings of your favorite FPS or racing game will also be thrilling experience with the ray tracing enabled SoC.
Vivo X200 features a 5,800 mAh battery which has 90W fast charging support. The big battery and the fast charging speeds aren’t the only highlight. With the X200 lineup, Vivo has become the first brand to fit a semi-solid state battery in its mobile lineup.
The new battery pack enhances the batteries performance in extreme cold temperatures by reducing excessive drainage. The backup overall is good and this phone easily lasts a day with moderate usage. Second plug-in might not be required unless you are hooked on the screen while gaming or streaming videos.
Vivo has once again come up with a camera masterpiece with the X200 series. And the X200 truly justifies its potential in terms of mobile photography. For those seeking a high-end mobile, that can beat professional-grade cameras while offering efficient performance, the X200 is worth every penny. It’s one of those handful devices that have the potential to be a complete package. Of course, prices here are subjective.

Design Review: Rugged Military-Grade Build A Major Upgrade
For a change, Realme isn’t just targeting the youth or the family-segment masses with its latest smartphone. In fact, the brand claims the Realme 14x is an ideal companion for challenging environments and will be fit to carry along on outdoor ventures and even construction sites.
Well, the rugged construction of this handset courtesy the IP68 IP69 certification along with SGS military-grade shock resistance makes it all special. Seems like, Realme is now stepping up its game in terms of design and build as well besides taking leaps in the performance segment. This handset is capable of resisting a water dip of up to 1.5 meters for up to 30 minutes making it amongst the only few handsets to offer this feature. And that’s not where Realme has stopped.
The 14x 5G additionally offers a unique SonicWave Water ejection option as well. This is the only handset in its segment that can eject water out of the speaker port via vibrations at specific frequency. Realme has been offering this water drainage feature with its high-end devices and now have set new standard in the affordable segment as well. So, if in case you plan to click an underwater pic or have accidentally got your device wet, you simply need to pull down the notification drawer and tap on the SonicDrain icon.
Realme has used an ArmorShell protection for the 14x 5G making it drop-resistant. All the crucial components and the corners of this device gets the added durability with the cushioned sponge design protection. Despite being a rugged phone, the Realme 14x 5G doesn’t really miss out on the looks. It still is a handsome looking unit where the diamond back panel design reflecting lights under sunlight will grab your attention. Single hand usage experience is average. It is a big phone and you might struggle while scrolling or playing games if your palms are tiny.
Realme have been equipping its number series with premium display panels despite their lower costs. The 14x 5G also has a substantially big screen measuring 6.67-inches. The panel type is LCD which is decent with overall color production, clarity, and brightness levels. It has a standard 720p screen resolution support. To make up for this, Realme has made this handset compatible with 120Hz refresh rate.
With this, the screen offers a fluid touch response and also smoother frame transitions. This panel is designed in a way that it avoids screen flickers hence you wouldn’t find your eyes straining despite prolonged usage. We had a decent experience overall using this handset for content consumption. It didn’t disappoint while streaming videos online from YouTube and other platforms.
Gaming visuals are also decent, but you might have to stick to the medium to low settings. Brightness levels are decent too with the handset offering a peak brightness of 625 nits. While this is not as bright as some of the recent Realme phones, it does its job fine. Toggling the brightness level to max will make visbility outdoors less straining on the eyes.
Realme has further made the 14x 5G’s screen more functional this time by adding rain-water smart touch feature. This is nothing but an advanced tech used for the display panel that allows using the screen even with wet hands. You can easily scroll or launch any app using when your fingers are slightly wet.
Realme 14x 5G is yet another performance-oriented handset which can easily complete all the given tasks quickly. Under its hood, there is the Dimensity 6300 chipset which is 5G-ready and is build using 6nm fabrication process. Realme has tuned the performance settings and the 14x 5G is smooth with overall usage. App firing rate is almost instant, specifically, if there are limited high-power apps running in the background. You can switch between the already open apps swiftly.
This handset has been introduced with dual configuration options. The base model equips 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. Whereas, the top-spec variant features 8GB RAM and the same 128GB storage option. You can expand the storage if required using an external microSD card. However, that will limit you to use a single SIM and the microSD card together. That’s because the handset has an hybrid SIM card slot and not a dedicated 3-way SIM stray.
Coming to the daily performance, the Realme 14x is well capable of handling web browsing and other general usage ranging from media playback to light gameplay. Multitasking speeds are fairly good with both variants. But for better smoothness with the multitasking, opt for the high-end variant offering 8GB RAM. Thanks to the added virtual RAM feature, the Realme 14x’s top variant can offer up to 18GB RAM collectively (8GB physical+ 10GB virtual) delivering refined speeds.
Imaging setup on the Realme 14x comprises a 50MP primary camera at the rear. Unlike most of the budget handset featuring multiple sensor, the 14x only employs this main camera at the rear. This lens comes with an f/1.8 aperture and has AI compatabilty that helps it to click refined bokeh shots and overall better clarity. Scenes captured in broad daylight or in areas with well lit conditions are good.
It manages to capture maximum details if the subject is within range. You will notice decent level of edge detection and the overall dynamic range. Apart from the portrait mode, you get access to other camera modes such as Pro, Panorama, Hi-Res, Slow-motion, and Time lapse video recordings. Max video recording supported by the Realme 14x 5G is 1080p@30 fps.
The camera app also offers a dedicated night mode that helps with shooting low-light photos and videos. Th refinement levels in this mode during low-light conditions is decent and you wouldn’t need to make any additional adjustments. There might be slight grains and noise visible in the night shots but the quality doesn’t deteriorate completely.
The Realme 14x 5G relies on an 8MP front camera to click selfies. Now, selfie might not the strongest game for the 14x 5G, but it is fairly decent. The self portraits are decent to be featured on social media platforms. Video calling experience is good with apt level of clarity when the network is strong.
Realme 14x is a beast with its massive 6,000 mAh battery. This big battery pack surely acts as a powerhouse and can drive the handset for an entire day even when the usage is extensive. We hardly required a second plug-in in a single day after using this handset with media playback and occasional gaming. The usage also included frequent internet browsing. And if in case the battery is entirely drained, you don’t have to wait longer for refuels. The 45W fast charging support allows quick battery re-charges.
Realem 14x is amongst the top contenders in the budget 5G smartphone race. With its price bracket starting under Rs. 15,000, it stands out as an advanced Android handset offering an amalgamation of tough build and solid performance. This phone has arrived as one of the best options to consider as a daily driver. You hardly will be concerned with the accidental drops and will also get good performance delivery with daily tasks. This handset makes for a solid investment if you are looking for a drop and water resistant phone for everyday use.

CMF Phone 1 explosion in Maharashtra leads to one death
Overheating and battery issues are possible causes
Users should watch for overheating and swollen batteries
A tragic incident occurred in Maharashtra, India. One person lost their life and another was seriously injured after a CMF Phone 1 reportedly exploded. This incident highlights the importance of smartphone safety and the potential risks associated with overheating and battery issues. Here’s what we know about the incident so far.
The explosion took place when two people were traveling from Kolhapur to Sangli.
The phone involved in the explosion was a CMF Phone 1 which was purchased just over a month ago.
The exact cause of the explosion remains unclear, but reports suggest that the battery may have burst, leading to the incident.
The explosion allegedly caused the rider to lose control, resulting in the tragic death of the owner. The other person sustained serious injuries.
What Led To The Incident?
Although it hasn’t been verified, overheating might have contributed to the explosion. When a phone is being charged or used extensively, overheating frequently happens.
Another potential cause could be a swollen battery which can cause the phone to overheat and eventually explode.
Previous Explosions And Safety Concerns
Although smartphone explosions are not unusual, this is the first incidence with the CMF Phone 1 that has been reported. Similar situations have already implicated brands such as Apple and OnePlus. Faulty batteries have been connected to similar explosions, and smartphones that overheat while being charged or used are frequently at risk.
Turn off your smartphone and let it cool in a secure location if it feels hot, especially when charging or when using it extensively.
A bulging back panel is a sign of a swollen battery which can be dangerous. Stop using the phone immediately if you notice this and contact customer support.
Always use the manufacturer’s recommended charger to avoid charging issues that could lead to overheating.
Ensure your phone’s software is always up to date that often include important fixes for battery management.
