vivo x200T - Experience


I bought vivo x200T in May 2026. It is the first phone I bought from Oppo/vivo/realme/iQoo branding. The reason is simple - the camera! OnePlus is lost after its merger with Oppo, and Xiaomi is somehow messed up. Vivo did two things smart - first they introduced OriginOS and second they are serious with smartphone cameras.
