The X200 Ultra's launch next month is expected to be limited to China, and it is unclear whether the smartphone will be introduced in other markets

Chinese smartphone brand Vivo has confirmed plans to expand its flagship X200 series with the addition of an Ultra model. At the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2025 in China, the company announced that the Vivo X200 Ultra will launch next month. Vivo also showcased the smartphone's box, which closely resembles that of the X200 Pro.

 

The X200 Ultra's launch next month is expected to be limited to China. It remains unclear whether the smartphone will be introduced in other markets. Vivo had also launched an Ultra variant in its previous X100 series, but that model remained exclusive to China.   

 

Separately, Vivo is reportedly preparing to launch another smartphone in the series, the X200s, alongside the X200 Ultra. According to a report by GSMArena, Han Boxiao, Vivo's Product Manager, confirmed the existence of the X200s in a post on the Chinese social media platform Weibo.

For durability, the smartphone is likely to carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
