The latest vivo X200 Pro is a true-blue flagship in more ways than one. While it might best be known for its fantastic camera setup, it’s way more than that. Thanks to the powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9400 SoC that powers it, the phone is quite a performer. This all-powerful chipset bestows the X200 Pro with impressive levels of performance. In this piece, we put the phone through some performance benchmarks to give you a glimpse of the level of performance that you can expect from the flagship and what you could expect from devices powered by this top-notch chipset in 2025.
But before we get to the benchmarks, let’s take a quick look at the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 itself and see what it offers.

The basics
For starters, the new chipset features a 2nd Gen All Big Core design. This design is built on Arm’s v9.2 CPU architecture and integrates one Arm Cortex-X925 core, three Cortex-X4 cores, and four Cortex-A720 cores. This allows the chip to offer a balance between performance and efficiency.
MediaTek notes that the All Big Core design allows for up to 35 percent faster single-core performance and up to 28 percent faster multi-core performance when compared to the Dimensity 9300. Not only that, the new SoC also features an increase in the in-chip cache with a 100 percent more L2 cache and 50% more L3 cache. This large cache allows for improved performance, better multitasking speeds, and reduced latency.
Benchmark scores
So, how well does the vivo X200 Pro actually perform? To test this, the smartphone was taken through a series of popular benchmark tests like AnTuTu, and Geekbench. Synthetic benchmarks are a great way to gauge the capabilities of a smartphone, and as one can see, the vivo X200 Pro did amazingly well.
With an overall score of over 2.5 million lakhs, vivo’s X200 Pro is among the fastest smartphones in the world. And the Geekbench results of 2,685 and 7,741 for single and multi-core scores, prove the same. There’s no denying that these are some impressive scores.
Combine this with the whopping 16GB RAM, and you are in for a buttery smooth experience that doesn’t break a sweat no matter what you throw at it.
Gaming
So, what about gaming? Well, the MediaTek Dimensty 9400 and its 12-core Immortalis G925 GPU make the vivo X200 Pro a powerhouse! Here’s how the smartphone fared when playing Genshin Impact, a popular and resource-intensive title that pushes smartphones to their limits. As the screenshot suggests, the vivo X200 Pro did remarkably well.
As one can see, even a resource-intensive game like Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) was able to run smoothly with an average FPS of 118.7 with the graphics set at Smooth + Ultra Extreme. In fact, the max FPS went all the way up to 121, indicating exceptional smoothness during gaming sessions. Combine this with the 6.78-inch FHD+ panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, and you are in for an amazing gaming experience.
High FPS gaming is not just about smoother visuals, it’s a game-changer in competitive scenarios. With frame rates exceeding 60fps, particularly in multiplayer titles, players gain a significant advantage in terms of reaction time and visual clarity. The vivo X200 Pro, powered by the Dimensity 9400, elevates this experience by enabling some of your favorite games to scale up to an impressive 120fps. This ensures fluid gameplay, reduced motion blur, and a competitive edge for gamers looking to dominate their online matches.
Battery life
But it’s not only about performance. The Dimensity 9400 is built on the 2nd Gen TSMC 3nm process, allowing the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 to deliver more performance per milliwatt, improving the battery efficiency too. As such, the chipset is able to deliver 40 percent better power efficiency. This, combined with the massive 6,000mAh battery capacity, should result in an impressive battery life. To see just how impressive it is, we ran PC Mark’s battery benchmark test, and the results are below.
Of course, keep in mind that these results are based on a strenuous test. So, the average user should easily experience over a day’s worth of battery and then some more on a single charge quite easily. And then the time comes to change it. You won’t be waiting for too long. The device supports 90W FlashCharge technology, which should ensure that it charges in a jiffy.
Bottomline
That was a look at the performance capabilities of the vivo X200 Pro. As one can see with these benchmark results, the phone is primed and ready to take on pretty much anything that one can throw at it. Of course, don’t forget that all this is besides the fantastic 200MP+50MP+50MP triple-rear camera configuration of the smartphone. In summary, the vivo X200 Pro is the ultimate smartphone for those looking for a flagship smartphone that delivers on all fronts.
