They are, however, members of the flagship smartphone series. We\u2019ll be comparing the Vivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus. These two smartphones are also priced rather similarly, within a $100 margin, so comparing them does make sense. Even their size is somewhat similar.<br \/>\nAs we usually do, we will first list the specifications of both smartphones. Following that, we will compare their designs, displays, performance, battery life, cameras, and audio output. These two devices do not really have a lot in common design-wise, nor spec-wise, so this should be a rather interesting comparison. Let\u2019s get to it.<br \/>\nSpecs<br \/>\nVivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus, respectively<br \/>\n\u2013 Screen size:<br \/>\n6.67-inch AMOLED display (quad micro-curved, adaptive 120Hz, HDR10+, 4,500 nits max brightness)<br \/>\n6.7-inch Super Retina XDR OLED ( flat, 60Hz, HDR, 2,000 nits)<br \/>\n\u2013 Display resolution:<br \/>\n2800 x 1260<br \/>\n2796 x 1290<br \/>\n\u2013 SoC:<br \/>\nMediaTek Dimensity 9400<br \/>\nApple A18<br \/>\n\u2013 RAM:<br \/>\n12GB\/16GB (LPDDR5X)<br \/>\n8GB<br \/>\n\u2013 Storage:<br \/>\n256GB\/512GB\/1TB (UFS 4.0)<br \/>\n128GB\/256GB\/512GB (NVMe)<br \/>\n\u2013 Rear cameras:<br \/>\n50MP (wide, f\/1.6 aperture, 23mm lens, 1\/1.56-inch sensor, PDAF, OIS), 50MP (ultrawide, f\/2.0 aperture, 119-degree FoV, 1\/2.76-inch sensor size, 0.64um pixel size), 50MP (periscope telephoto, f\/2.6 aperture, 70mm lens, 1\/1.95-inch sensor, PDAF, OIS, 3x optical zoom))<br \/>\n48MP (wide, f\/1.6 aperture, 1\/1.56-inch sensor, 1.0um pixel size, sensor-shift OIS), 12MP (ultrawide, f\/2.2 aperture, 120-degree FoV, 0.7um pixel size, PDAF)<br \/>\n\u2013 Front cameras:<br \/>\n32MP (f\/2.0 aperture, 20mm lens, ultrawide)<br \/>\n12MP (f\/1.9 aperture, PDAF, 1\/3.6-inch sensor size, OIS)<br \/>\n\u2013 Battery:<br \/>\n5,800mAh<br \/>\n4,674mAh<br \/>\n\u2013 Charging:<br \/>\n90W wired, reverse wired (charger included)<br \/>\n30W wired, 25W MagSafe wireless, 15W Qi2 wireless, 7.5W Qi wireless, 4.5W reverse wired (charger not included)<br \/>\n\u2013 Dimensions:<br \/>\n160.3 x 74.8 x 8 mm<br \/>\n160.9 x 77.8 x 7.8 mm<br \/>\n\u2013 Weight:<br \/>\n197\/202 grams<br \/>\n199 grams<br \/>\n\u2013 Connectivity:<br \/>\n5G, LTE, NFC, Wi-Fi, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.4\/5.3<br \/>\n\u2013 Security:<br \/>\nIn-display fingerprint scanner (optical) &amp; facial scanning<br \/>\nFace ID (3D facial scanning)<br \/>\n\u2013 OS:<br \/>\nAndroid 15 with Funtouch OS 15<br \/>\niOS 18<br \/>\n\u2013 Price:<br \/>\nRM 3,599 ($803)<br \/>\n$899+<br \/>\n\u2013 Buy:<br \/>\nN\/A<br \/>\nApple iPhone 16 Plus (BestBuy)<br \/>\nVivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus: Design<br \/>\nBoth of these smartphones do have a flat frame all around. The frame on both phones is made out of aluminum. That\u2019s basically where their design similarities end. The Vivo X200 has a quad micro-curved display aka slightly curved glass on all four sides on top of the display, while the display itself is flat. The same goes for its backplate. The front and back sides on the iPhone 16 Plus are flat.<br \/>\nYou will notice a centered display camera hole on the Vivo X200, at the top of its display. In that same spot, the iPhone 16 Plus has a pill-shaped cutout, the so-called Dynamic Island. The bezels are thin on both phones, but they\u2019re thinner on the Vivo X200. The power\/lock and volume up and down buttons sit on the right-hand side of the Vivo X200. The iPhone 16 Plus includes a power\/lock key on the right, along with a Camera Control key. On the left, it has the volume up and down buttons, and the Action Key.<br \/>\nThere are considerably different camera islands on the backs of these phones. The Vivo X200 includes a larger camera oreo with three cameras inside of it. The iPhone 16 Plus has a much smaller pill-shaped camera island in the top-left corner. Its cameras are vertically-aligned. The two phones are basically the same in terms of height, but the Vivo X200 is narrower in comparison. They also have very similar thickness and weight. The Vivo X200 is both IP68 and IP69 certified for water and dust resistance, while the iPhone 16 Plus comes with an IP68 certification. Do note that both phones are very slippery.<br \/>\nVivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus: Display<br \/>\nThe Vivo X200 includes a 6.67-inch 2800 x 1260 AMOLED panel. That display is flat, and it has a quad micro-curved glass on top of it. It can project up to 1 billion colors, and HDR10+ content is supported. This display also offers a refresh rate of 120Hz. The peak brightness here is 4,500 nits, and the screen-to-body ratio is around 90%. The display aspect ratio this display offers is 20:9, while the Schott Xensation Alpha glass protects the display.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone 16 Plus, on the flip side, has a 6.7-inch 2796 x 1290 Super Retina XDR OLED display. That panel is flat, and it supports HDR10 content. It also has Dolby Vision support, but only a 60Hz refresh rate. The peak brightness this display offers is 2,000 nits, and the screen-to-body ratio is at around 88%. The display aspect ratio here is 19.5:9, and the Ceramic Shield glass protects the display.<br \/>\nBoth of these displays are generally very good for content consumption. They\u2019re both vivid, have great viewing angles, and they\u2019re more than sharp enough. The Vivo X200\u2019s panel does have a number of advantages, though. It comes with a high refresh rate which is something many people will notice. It can also get brighter when needed, not to mention that it supports high-frequency PWM dimming to protect your eyes.<br \/>\nVivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus: Performance<br \/>\nThe Vivo X200 is fueled by the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processor. That is MediaTek\u2019s new 3nm chip, and the company\u2019s most powerful one. It is paired with up to 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM here, and UFS 4.0 flash storage. The iPhone 16 Plus is fueled by the Apple A18, which is also a 3nm chip. It comes with 8GB of RAM, and NVMe flash storage. Neither phone offers storage expansion, by the way.<br \/>\nWith that being said, they both offer great performance. Thanks to the Vivo X200\u2019s high refresh rate display, however, the Vivo X200 does feel smoother when scrolling around. Both phones have outstanding animations and responsive displays. They can handle heavy multitasking without a problem, and the same goes for more intense use. You can easily process videos here, and do basically anything else you need, with ease.<br \/>\nYes, even gaming is on point. Both phones can run even the most demanding games from their respective app stores, without a problem. The heat is not an issue on either end, though both of them do get quite warm if you play demanding games for longer periods of time. Neither phone got to the point that it was uncomfortable to hold or anything of the sort, that\u2019s simply not an issue.<br \/>\nVivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus: Battery<br \/>\nThe Vivo X200 includes a 5,800mAh silicon-carbon battery. The iPhone 16 Plus, on the flip side, has a regular 4,674mAh battery. Android phones usually have considerably larger batteries than iPhones, but the margin here is even higher due to the silicon-carbon unit. With that being said, that 4,674mAh battery inside the iPhone 16 Plus is actually a rather sizeable battery pack for that smartphone.<br \/>\nIn fact, both of these smartphones offer outstanding battery life. Getting well over 8 hours of screen-on-time shouldn\u2019t be a problem for you. In fact, we\u2019ve both seen and experienced these two devices touching the 10-hour screen-on-time mark, yes, that\u2019s how good their battery life is. So regardless of what you\u2019re doing on your phone, these two should offer more than good enough battery life. Do note that gaming will drain the battery notably higher on both phones, though.<br \/>\nThe Vivo X200 supports 90W wired charging, and also reverse wired charging. The iPhone 16 Plus supports 30W wired, 25W MagSafe wireless, 15W Qi2 wireless, 7.5W Qi wireless, and 4.5W reverse wired charging. So, the Vivo X200 will charge much faster, while the iPhone 16 Plus does support wireless charging, unlike Vivo\u2019s phone. The Vivo X200 also comes with a charger in the box, unlike the iPhone 16 Plus.<br \/>\nVivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus: Cameras<br \/>\nThe Vivo X200 includes three 50-megapixel cameras on the back. A 50-megapixel main camera (1\/1.56-inch sensor) is backed by a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit (1\/2.76-inch sensor, 119-degree FoV), and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto unit (1\/1.95-inch senor, 3x optical zoom). The iPhone 16 Plus has two cameras on the back. A 48-megapixel main camera (1\/1.56-inch sensor) is backed by a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera (120-degree FoV).<br \/>\nBoth main cameras are very capable, actually. They\u2019re able to capture nice and detailed images, and both tend to prefer warmer color tones. The Vivo X200 does a better job with light glares, though, and the same goes for HDR conditions. In all other aspects, they\u2019re on par. The same cannot be said for other cameras, though. The Vivo X200 has a major advantage for zoomed-in shots.<br \/>\nIt does include a periscope telephoto camera which is actually quite good. The iPhone 16 Plus doesn\u2019t even have a regular telephoto camera. So every zoomed-in shot that you take will be a digital crop from the main camera. Both ultrawide cameras are good, but they\u2019re notably below the main camera standards that both phones set. Do note that ZEISS optics are used by the Vivo X200 here. Both phones offer various shooting modes, for different styles.<br \/>\nAudio<br \/>\nBoth of these phones include stereo speakers. Those speakers are good on both ends. They\u2019re loud enough, and they offer good audio output. The ones on the Vivo X200 are technically slightly louder, but the difference is so small that you won\u2019t even notice it.<br \/>\nThere is no audio jack on either one of these two smartphones. You can use their Type-C ports, however, in case you\u2019d like to hook up your wired headphones to either device. Alternatively, the Vivo X200 supports Bluetooth 5.4, while the iPhone 16 Plus comes with Bluetooth 5.3 support.<br \/>\nThe post Phone Comparisons: Vivo X200 vs Apple iPhone 16 Plus appeared first on Android Headlines.&#013;<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/plus.maciejpiasecki.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Vivo-X200-vs-Apple-iPhone-16-Plus-comparison.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\">&#013;<br \/>\nSource: ndroidheadlines.com&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two phones we\u2019ll be comparing today are not exactly the most powerful devices from the two companies.
