Vivo recently launched its flagship devices, the X200 and X200 Pro , with a focus on advanced camera and AI capabilities. However, soon after the release, several users reported issues with excessive lens flares when using the X200 Pro’s main camera, sparking discussions across social media. The company’s Vice President, Huang Tao, has since addressed these concerns, offering insights into the cause and potential solutions.
According to Huang Tao, the lens flare issue is due to the phone’s large f/1.57 aperture, which, while improving low-light performance, makes the camera more susceptible to lens flares caused by bright light sources outside the frame (also noted as off-screen glare). The issue is particularly noticeable when light hits the lens at specific angles, causing off-screen glare that appears more prominent than in other devices.
This is compounded by changes to the camera’s coating technology. While the new coating reduces typical radial or petal glare, it compromises on handling blue spectrum light, which contributes to the visible flares. Fortunately, Vivo is working on a fix Huang Tao acknowledged the oversight, mentioning that the problem was not adequately identified during initial testing.
To address this, Vivo is preparing an OTA software update that aims to reduce the severity of these flares through optimization. Additionally, the company plans to introduce hardware adjustments for users facing persistent issues, including peripheral accessories to further mitigate the problem. Vivo X200 Pro key specifications Despite the lens flare issue, the X200 Pro continues to impress with its robust camera setup.
It features a brand new 50MP main sensor measuring 1/1.28′′, a 200MP periscope telephoto lens (3.7x) with Zeiss optics, and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor, delivering high-quality images across various scenarios.
The device is equipped with a 6.78-inch 2K AMOLED display, boasting a 120Hz refresh rate and impressive peak brightness of up to 4500 nits. Powered by MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9400 chipset, the X200 Pro promises improved performance and power efficiency over previous models.
