Unveiling the Highly Anticipated Vivo Y200 5G Series Launch Date

 

Vivo is preparing to unveil its Y200 5G series in China. The company has confirmed the launch date and revealed the design of one of the models, the Vivo Y200 GT 5G, which is believed to be a rebranded iQoo Z9 introduced in China in April. 

Another model expected to be launched is the Vivo Y200t, although it has not been officially announced yet. These upcoming handsets are anticipated to join the Vivo Y200i, which was also released in China earlier this year in April. Through a Weibo post, Vivo confirmed that the Vivo Y200 GT 5G will debut in China on May 20 at 2:30pm local time (12pm IST). 

An official microsite teased the introduction of the Vivo Y200 5G series on that day and announced that reservations for the Vivo Y200 GT 5G were now open. However, the company has not disclosed the names of any other models that will be part of the launch, with the Vivo Y200t reported to be among the lineup. 

The official post about the upcoming launch also showcased the design of the Vivo Y200 GT 5G, which features a back panel resembling that of the iQoo Z9. The design includes a 50-megapixel dual rear camera unit housed in a slightly raised, squarish module with rounded edges, along with an elliptical LED flash unit positioned vertically next to the camera island. 

If the Vivo Y200 GT 5G is indeed a rebadged version of the iQoo Z9, it is expected to come equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 SoC, a 6,000mAh battery supporting 80W fast charging, a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-600 primary rear sensor paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 16-megapixel selfie camera. 

Additionally, it is likely to feature a 6.78-inch 144Hz full-HD+ AMOLED display and run on Android 14-based OriginOS 4. On the other hand, the speculated Vivo Y200t is anticipated to be a rebranded iQoo Z9x, potentially offering a 6.72-inch 120Hz full-HD+ LCD screen, a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 SoC, a 6,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging capabilities, an AI-powered 50-megapixel dual rear camera setup, and an 8-megapixel front camera sensor.
