The vivo X200 FE immediately makes a strong impression with its compact, high-end design. It’s a phone that doesn’t scream for attention but speaks volumes through subtle sophistication. Right out of the box, we just got impressed with its amazing build quality and compact form factor. The matte glass back paired with metallic side frames gives it a premium in-hand feel that’s solid, grippy, and clearly well-engineered. There’s a reassuring sturdiness to the build – no creaks, no flex – just a clean, elegant design that feels flagship from every angle.
Despite packing flagship-level hardware and a large 6,500 mAh battery, the phone remains impressively slim at 7.99 mm and weighs just 186 grams, making it easy to handle even during long use. Additionally, has the top-tier IP68 and IP69 certifications for dust and water resistance, ideal for those who value durability as much as style. We got the Luxe Grey color, as you can see, while it also comes in two more – Frost Blue and Amber Yellow color options.
On the front, you get a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display that feels almost seamless with ultra-slim bezels and smooth curves that melt into the frame. The display offers a tremendous level of brightness; vivo has gone all out with up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness, along with a crisp 1.5K+ resolution panel (2640 x 1216 pixels) with a 120 Hz adaptive refresh rate. The screen isn’t just bright, it’s among the brightest panels you’ll see on a smartphone, period. Whether you’re out under harsh sunlight or watching HDR content, this display absolutely shines.
The vivo X200 FE might be compact in size, but it looks and feels every bit as flagship as its larger rivals. Despite its smaller footprint, the bezels are impressively slim, offering an edge-to-edge viewing experience. As for ergonomics, the power and volume buttons are neatly placed along the right edge, while the bottom houses a USB Type-C port, primary mic, dual SIM tray, and stereo speaker grill. On the other hand, the top side comes with two additional mics and another speaker (at the earpiece), ensuring a balanced stereo audio setup, aided by Hi-Res Audio certification.
What packs inside is some serious power, positioning itself as a proper flagship rather than just a compact alternative. It runs on the 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ octa-core SoC clocked at up to 3.4 GHz, coupled with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and support for an additional 16 GB virtual RAM, while it’s backed by UFS 3.1 storage in 256 GB and 512 GB options. Even though the storage is not the UFS 4.0 type, it’s fast enough for snappy app launches and smooth file transfers, while the massive RAM size is great for multitasking, whether you’re switching between apps, editing media, or gaming. We would still appreciate if vivo put a UFS 4.0 (or 4.1 type) since it’s rated for the flagship category.
The triple rear camera setup is among the biggest highlights of the X200 FE, backed by ZEISS optics, which instantly signals top-notch imaging capabilities. We are yet to snap some great shots using its camera, will be sharing them soon in our full vivo X200 FE review. The smartphone packs a total of three 50 MP cameras, two at the rear side and at the front for selfies, while the fourth camera is an 8 MP.
For camera specs, the main sensor is a 50 MP Sony IMX921 with f/1.88 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) support. The secondary shooter is an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera with a 106° field of view, while the third rear camera is a 50 MP Sony IMX882 periscope telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The camera system uses the ZEISS tuning and the Aura Light – vivo’s signature ring light around the camera module. On the front, you have a 50 MP autofocus selfie camera with 4K at 60 fps video recording support.
Despite its slim and compact form factor, the vivo X200 FE packs a massive 6,500 mAh battery, which is quite a feat considering how thin and light the phone feels. The battery capacity is a big win for power users and those who are always on the go. vivo includes a 90W fast charger in the box.
On the software front, the vivo X200 FE runs Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15, and early impressions show a clean, fluid UI with plenty of customization options and a few neat additions, while the bloatware is surprisingly minimal. You still get vivo’s signature tools like Ultra Game Mode, Dynamic Effects, and battery optimizations, along with some AI-assisted camera perks and enhancements throughout the system UI.
Early Verdict – vivo X200 FE
The vivo X200 FE appears to be a flagship that hits the right notes, positioning itself as a strong contender in the compact flagship category. It brings together a stunning bezel-less screen with 5,000 nits peak brightness, a powerful Dimensity 9300+ SoC with up to 16 GB RAM and 512 GB storage, a large 6,500 mAh battery – all wrapped in a sleek matte glass body with sturdy metal frames, making it feel every bit premium. On top of that, its IP68 + IP69 ratings, the Carl Zeiss camera system, and Funtouch OS 15 with AI perks add to its overall value. We’ll be testing it further in real-world scenarios, but so far, this is a very promising all-rounder in vivo’s lineup. From our early hands-on, the vivo X200 FE appears to be a well-balanced compact flagship that ticks nearly every box – design, power, camera, display, and battery – under the ₹60K mark.
