Vivo is all set to unveil its brand-new X200 FE on July 14, 2025, at 12 PM IST in India. The X200 FE is a compact flagship—designed for those who want a strong high-performing device, but in a smaller footprint. This smartphone promises to deliver high-end specs including the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, a Zeiss‑tuned triple camera suite, and a large 6,500 mAh battery powering 90 W of fast charging. Expected prices for the phone range from around ₹54,999 to ₹59,999, with availability expected on Flipkart and on Vivo’s own store as well. Here is a full breakdown of everything to expect, across 10 things.
Launch Overview
Vivo's launch event will showcase both the X200 FE and the unfolding X Fold 5. The phone X200 FE designed to meet the needs of mainstream flagship buyers looking for top specification hardware, but in a more reasonable size. Sales will begin at the conclusion of the event on Flipkart and the Vivo website. There has been some early speculation/leaks and it is believed that the phone will be priced in the ₹50–60K range for other competing phones.
Design & Build Quality
The X200 FE is an elegant little frame: only 150.8 × 71.8 × 8 mm and a reasonably light 186 g making it easier to use with one hand. It is immediately tactile and looks premium, thanks to its sand-textured glass rear panel with aluminum frame. The device has an IP68 and an IP69 rating, making use on a rainy day less of a worry while providing essentially total protection against dust and liquid that is not common in this price range.
Display Specs & Features
The display is powered by a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1.5K (1,216×2,640 pixels) resolution, and a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate, with a peak brightness of 5,000 nits, making it clear enough to use outdoors. Vivo worked with ZEISS on color calibration, producing bright and accurate colors.
Processor & Performance
The MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, built on the TSMC 4 nm process, uses a 4+4 big‑core CPU architecture that is clocked up to 3.4 GHz. The device has 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB UFS 3.1 storage, which handles high-end games like Genshin Impact very well, while also multitasking without any issues. I noticed some slight warming (not much) during prolonged gaming sessions.
Camera Setup & Features
This phone has a Zeiss-tuned triple rear camera array: a 50 MP Sony IMX921 main sensor with OIS, 50 MP telephoto lens with 3× optical zoom, and an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. The rear camera takes great photos, with sharpness and natural color. There's a 50 MP front-facing camera that makes an impression in selfies. Modes also include vintage film styles and ZEISS portrait options.
Battery & Charging
A large 6,500 mAh battery means lots of longevity, with the phone lasting up to two days on moderate usage. There's 90 W fast charging support, with over 50% charge in less than 30 minutes. While there is no wireless charging, reverse wired charging is included, so the phone will be a good option for hardcore users.
Software & Updates
The X200 FE is running Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15 and has features such as Google’s Gemini AI Assistant. Vivo normally provides owners with 3 years of major Android OS upgrades and 4 years of security updates, which indicates long-term support compared to rivals.
Connectivity & Extras
It has full-fledged 5G service, Wi‑Fi 6 connection, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS with Global Naviagation Systems (GLONASS), USB‑C, and OTG capability. It has an in-display fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers, and IP68/IP69 durability ratings. Putting those features together, it raises the value proposition for its price point.
Comparison with Competitors
Compared against compact flagships like the OnePlus 13s, Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, and iQOO Neo 10, the Vivo offers:
-
Smaller size yet comparable power
-
Higher peak brightness and better battery capacity
-
Superior front camera (50 MP vs rivals’ 8–32 MP)
Slight downsides include lack of wireless charging and a basic ultrawide lens, but overall its spec‑for‑price ratio stands out.
Price, Verdict & Buying Advice
Expected to start at ₹54,999 (12 GB+256 GB) and ₹59,999 (16 GB+512 GB), this model holds strong against flagship alternatives priced above ₹70 K. If you want a well‑rounded compact phone with class‑leading display, battery, and camera, this makes great sense. Best to wait for early sales offers on Flipkart or Vivo's store—cashback, EMI plans, or bank discounts may lower actual cost.
