vivo has launched its latest flagship smartphone, vivo X200 Pro, in South Africa. The company announced this at AfricaCom 2024 in Cape Town saying the launch was in collaboration with MediaTek.
The vivo X200 Pro comes with premium features including advanced imaging technology, processing power and a suite of innovations for productivity and creativity. This is one of the first smartphones powered by the new MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset. The Dimensity 9400 is a chipset meant for flagship smartphones and is optimized for edge-AI applications, immersive gaming, incredible photography, and more. It features all-big-core Arm Cortex-X925 CPU at 3.62GHz.
According to MediaTek, the Dimensity 9400’s design offers 35% faster single-core performance and 28% faster multi-core performance compared to MediaTek’s previous generation flagship chipset, the Dimensity 9300. It is built on TSMC’s second-generation 3nm process and is up to 40% more power-efficient compared to its predecessor. This should help extend the battery life for the smartphones it powers.
“As our fourth-generation flagship, the Dimensity 9400 builds on our momentum in the premium segment,” said Rami Osman, Director of Business Development for MediaTek Middle East and Africa. “It enables manufacturers like vivo to build future-proof devices with next-generation features like Wi-Fi 7 tri-band MLO and on-device generative AI.”
Incorporating MediaTek’s 8th Generation NPU, the Dimensity 9400 is the first mobile chipset to offer on-device LoRA training, high-quality on-device video generation and developer support for Agentic AI. Dimensity 9400 offers up to 80% faster large language model (LLM) prompt performance.
Tony Shi, GM of vivo South Africa, said: “In 2023, vivo joined hands with MediaTek to usher in the all-big-core era. This year, we are proud to collaborate with MediaTek to define the second-generation all-big-core 3nm Dimensity 9400. The SoC delivers excellent performance across all productivity, gaming and media experiences.
“The tuning of vivo’s BlueChip technology solutions unleashes the performance of the Dimensity 9400 flagship, while achieving excellent power efficiency control. This achieves a balanced state of high efficiency and low power consumption, empowering the vivo X200 Pro with exceptional experiences in performance, power efficiency, gaming, communication, security, imaging, display, and AI.”
