The Vivo X200 FE is an impressive flagship contender, offering a large battery and solid performance at a much lower price point than top-tier competitors like the Samsung Galaxy S25. 
Just unveiled in Taiwan, this smartphone is set to go global soon, though details on pricing and availability are still under wraps.
What sets the X200 FE apart is its exceptional battery life and powerful chipset. While it doesn’t boast the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite, its MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ still delivers the flagship-level experience expected from a smartphone in this price range.
Compact and stylish, the X200 FE competes with high-end models like the Galaxy S25 and OnePlus 13, especially in terms of size. While Vivo may not be using the newest Qualcomm processors, their collaboration with MediaTek continues to produce high-performing devices. The X200 FE features a year-old MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, but it remains a solid performer.
One of the standout features of the X200 FE is its massive 6,500 mAh battery, supporting 90W wired charging. Vivo claims that this battery can provide up to 25 hours of video playback or nearly 10 hours of gaming on a single charge. Even more impressive, it takes just under an hour to fully recharge
. In comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S25 models come with much smaller batteries, ranging from 4,000 mAh to 5,000 mAh.
In addition to its great battery life, the X200 FE comes equipped with a powerful triple-camera system, including a 50-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a periscope camera with another 50-megapixel sensor. Vivo has teamed up with Zeiss to enhance the optics, ensuring top-tier image quality. The 50-megapixel main camera uses a Sony IMX921 sensor with f/1.88 aperture and OIS, while the periscope sensor features a Sony IMX882 with f/2.65 aperture.
For selfie lovers, the X200 FE packs a 50-megapixel front camera. The phone also boasts a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, and an integrated fingerprint scanner. It’s also IP68/IP69 rated for dust and water resistance, making it a durable choice for everyday use.
With up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, the X200 FE is available in four colors: Black, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. While pricing and availability remain uncertain, this smartphone promises to be an excellent value option for those seeking a flagship experience without the flagship price tag.
