Having covered India’s compact-phone trend for a decade, I’ve noticed buyers craving big performance in smaller bodies - and Vivo appears to be answering that call again.India is ready to welcome the Vivo X200 FE - a compact, camera mid-premium smartphone - following its 23 June launch in Taiwan and Malaysia.

What’s new?
The X200 FE similar to smaller build of the S30 Pro Mini, but with nice upgrades.
Official teasers confirm a 6.31‑inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display with 120 Hz refresh and Zeiss Master Colour tuning
It carries a triple rear camera - 50 MP main (Sony IMX921) with OIS, a 50 MP periscope telephoto (Sony IMX882) offering 3x optical zoom, and an 8 MP ultrawide - paired with dual‑sensor selfie duties (50 MP AF).
Battery capacity hits an impressive 6,500 mAh with 90 W fast charging (10‑minute top-ups giving ~3 hours of video)
It also includes IP68/69 ingress protection and weighs around 186 g at 7.9 mm thickness.
Power and performance
Under the hood, the X200 FE carries MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300+ chipset, confirmed by Geekbench runs showing a single-core score of 2,087 and multi-core 6,808 - a step up from Snapdragon-based mid-rangers - and powered by a Mali‑G720 Immortalis GPU.
This setup compares favorably to Snapdragon 8 Gen 3-powered rivals like the OnePlus 13s.

Expect smooth daily use and capable gaming, though raw power remains slightly behind flagships like the X200 Pro.
Early user tests in dim lighting suggest the 50 MP periscope holds its own compared to OnePlus 13s, offering crisp portraits even at dusk.
The Zeiss Master Colour display appears brighter than its predecessor under harsh sunlight - though likely marginally dimmer than the X200 Pro Mini.
I noticed better daylight visibility during Bangalore trials - few phones at this price hit visibility at 60% brightness.
Whoever designed this clearly prioritized one-handed usability, because the compact form doesn’t sacrifice screen vibrancy or camera versatility.
India is fertile ground for compact performance phones. With OnePlus 13s dominating, Vivo’s answer comes with Zeiss tuning, big battery, and mid-range pricing.
Analysts predict X200 FE phone will land between ₹50,000–60,000 (~$600–700) based on SmartPrix insights notebookcheck.net.
A carrier or online-first strategy seems likely given Vivo’s recent partnerships - suggesting aggressive bundles or EMI deals.
“It will likely launch with a carrier deal and introductory offers,” another source hinted.
