My First Experience and First Run-In

I still remember walking out of the Vivo demo booth at Tech Park Mumbai, phone in hand, noticing how effortlessly the X200 FE slipped into my palm.

As someone who’s reviewed over 100 smartphones, I rarely feel that “just-right” balance of power and size.

Within minutes, I was scrolling through social feeds, shooting hand-held video, and testing gaming performance - all using just one hand, yet encountering no throttling or lag.

That’s when it clicked: this isn’t a compromise; it’s a compact flagship with attitude.

Later that same afternoon, Vivo officially launched the X200 FE in India, revealing a potent hardware mix: MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, up to 16 GB LPDDR5X, and a massive 6,500 mAh battery with 90 W fast charging

Priced at ₹54,999 (12 GB/256 GB) and ₹59,999 (16 GB/512 GB), available in Amber Yellow, Frost Blue, and Luxe Grey, the device goes on sale via Flipkart and Vivo's store starting July 23

What stood out for me early on: Vivo’s promise of a no-sacrifice experience in a pocketable package. But can it truly outmatch competitors like the OnePlus 13s or Samsung S24 FE? Let’s dive in.

A Balanced Powerhouse

The MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, built on a 3 nm process, powers a smooth user experience during my hands-on test. Opening apps and streaming 4K clips felt as snappy as in high-end flagship phones.

In AnTuTu tests, this chip scored within 5–7% of Snapdragon 8 Gen 2-class devices - even under thermal stress.

Compared to the OnePlus 13s, which uses Snapdragon 8 Gen 2, the X200 FE lagged only slightly (around 4–6% in GPU benchmarks) .

For gamers, this means reliable frame rates at high settings - though not necessarily topping charts.

Display & Daylight Clarity

The 6.31” AMOLED display genuinely impressed me. In Mumbai’s harsh sunlight, I noticed exceptional outdoor visibility - I could read text and check maps without shading the screen.

Vivo claims a peak brightness of 1,800 nits; while I didn’t have a lab meter, my real‑world experience aligns with that assertion.

The 120 Hz refresh rate added fluidity to scrolling and play, making content feel effortlessly smooth.
Cameras: More than Just Megapixels

The Zeiss-backed triplet impressed from the first shot.

I captured street food and landscape shots with the IMX921 primary sensor, and details were crisp without over-sharpening - something many phone cameras can’t resist.

I noticed the edge-handling during evening shots was just shy of perfect: the camera struggled slightly with dynamic range between streetlights and shadows.

The periscope telephoto lens held strong up to 3× optical zoom, delivering sharp crop-level detail.

Beyond that, digital zoom held up to about 10× without serious artifacts, but by 20× it started to degrade.

The 8 MP ultra-wide was useful for group shots and architecture, though I noted a slight barrel distortion - not unexpected at this price point.

Selfie lovers will appreciate the 50 MP front sensor, which captured bright, well-exposed portraits with pleasant skin tones - no AI-heavy makeup filter by default.

Marathon Battery Life

A real-world highlight: the 6,500 mAh battery. In my 1‑day use, which included mixed tasks - calls, GPS navigation, email, video streaming - I ended at over 8 hours of screen-on time, with 30% battery still remaining.

Even power users can expect a full day plus a good chunk of the next.

The 90 W charger restored juice from 0–70% in just 25 minutes in my timed test - ideal for those quick bursts of unplugged time.

However, there's no wireless charging - something to note for premium buyers.

Compact Design, Big Durability

At 186 g and under 8 mm thin, the X200 FE feels near-perfect in hand.

For context, the Samsung S24 FE weighs 188 g and has a 6.4" screen - nearly identical in presence.

Yet, Vivo’s choice of aerospace-grade metal and matte Metallic Sand AG finish feels more luxurious and grippy.

The IP68/IP69 rating offers confidence against rain or dusty streets. However, it still lacks stereo speakers - media playback is mono, which may disappoint.

Software: Funtouch Versus Competition

Funtouch OS 15, based on Android 15, feels leaner than previous iterations. Vivo reduced preinstalled bloatware and did away with unnecessary ads during setup.

However, the UI’s close resemblance to Xiaomi and Oppo's skins suggests less originality - though functionality, like a well-customized always-on display and granular privacy toggles, still show care in engineering.

Head-to-Head: Case for the X200 FE

OnePlus 13s (starting ₹54,999) competes closely in price and performance. But X200 FE offers a larger battery (6,500 vs 5,850 mAh) and official IP68 rating.


Samsung Galaxy S24 FE, historically compact in form and robust in software, remains pricier (₹62–65k), with wireless charging - a feature missing on the X200 FE.


Against Apple’s rumored iPhone 16e, X200 FE’s camera versatility and charging speed remain superior - but that iPhone will offer tighter ecosystem integration.

A Compact Flagship with Few Compromises

The Vivo X200 FE brings flagship-grade performance in a compact, stylish, and durable package.

From my personal hands*on experience, it delivers genuine substance - powerful internals, standout cameras, and marathon battery life - all packed into a phone that feels built for real-world use.

The software isn’t revolutionary, and the lack of wireless charging and stereo speakers might matter to some.

But it compellingly fills a gap in the Indian market: a sub‑₹60k powerhouse that’s truly pocket‑friendly
