Why it matters: The kilometer-level offline communication technology allows users to stay connected for free, without relying on a network. By using LoRa (Long Range) spread spectrum technology, Vivo X200 series achieve “cost-free communication” without network coverage, with a communication range of up to several kilometers, according to Jia. For these moderately challenging outdoor scenarios, Vivo’s offline communication is an enhanced option,” he said. The Vivo X200 series will enhance the predecessor X100 Ultra’s 200MP Zeiss APO (apochromatic lenses) with a new 135mm focal length for telephoto portraits, Jia mentioned. Context: The Vivo X200 series will also be the first in the world to debut the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset, the first 3nm chip in the Android ecosystem, built using TSMC’s 3nm process.
