Our vivo X200 Pro battery life test results are out | Infinium-tech

The Vivo X200 Pro that was unveiled last week has arrived at our office for review. It’s still a work in progress, but we’ve already tested its battery capacity and while you wait for the full review, we thought we’d share the results with you.

Note that we are talking about the Chinese model running Android 15-based OriginOS 5. The international version, which should launch in India and other countries in early December, will boot Funtouch OS 15.

The Chinese Vivo X200 Pro is powered by Dimensity 9400 SoC (3nm) and packs a 6,000 mAh battery. Its predecessor, the X100 Pro, came with the Dimensity 9300 chip (4nm) and a 5,400 mAh battery.

Despite packing a larger battery, the Vivo X200 Pro is thinner than the X100 Pro. This can be attributed to Vivo’s use of a silicon carbon battery on the X200 Pro instead of the lithium ion battery used for the X100 Pro.

Silicon carbon batteries have a higher energy density than lithium-ion batteries, which allows manufacturers to fit higher capacity batteries of the same size or reduce the thickness of a phone without reducing battery capacity.

Talking about battery tests, the Vivo X200 Pro achieved an active usage score of 14:56 hours – which is almost an hour more than the X100 Pro (13:53 hours). This is a result of the larger battery and more power-efficient chip.

We don’t have any other Dimensity 9400-powered devices for comparison, and a Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered device hasn’t hit the market yet. So, we have compared the battery test results of the Vivo X200 Pro with phones that fall in the price range of the X200 Pro as well as some flagships that cost more. You can check the comparison below.

While you get a higher capacity battery with the Vivo X200 Pro, the wired charging speed has dropped from 100W on the X100 Pro to 90W on the X200 Pro. The same applies for wireless charging – down from 50W to 30W. We’ll share our Vivo X200 Pro’s battery charging test results and other findings in our full review. Stay tuned!
