It may have similar specifications as its bigger counterpart, including a high-resolution screen, wireless fast charging system, high-density battery, and light and thin design.

According to leaker Experience more (translated from Chinese), the X200 Pro Mini will also feature Sony's newest LYT-818 50-megapixel camera sensor.

The same sensor is also speculated to be used on the Vivo X200 Pro as well. The handset is also tipped to use a Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens and a V3/V3+ imaging chip.
