Tiny flagships with mighty cameras – are smartphone makers finally giving the people what they want? The vivo X200 FE is not as capable as the X200 Pro mini, but at least it will be widely available – which is more than can be said of the OnePlus 13T.
The vivo X200 FE has a 6.31” display and while it’s taller, wider and heavier than the Galaxy S25, it is smaller than the Pixel 9 Pro and about the same size as the iPhone 16 Pro (except the iPhone weighs 13g more). It’s almost exactly the same size as the OnePlus 13s (the version of the 13T available only in India).
The FE uses the Dimensity 9300+ instead of a 9400-series chip like the Pro mini. That’s still plenty of performance. And it has a 6,500mAh battery that will make even larger phones jealous, especially with 90W charging.
The camera system features a 50MP main (1/1.56”, OIS), 50MP 3x/70mm periscope and an 8MP ultra-wide, complete with Zeiss optics and a 50MP selfie camera. That’s better than the 10MP 3x/67mm tele module that Samsung offers (and will keep offering on the S26, according to rumors), though it comes up short when compared against the 48MP 5x cameras of the Pixel 9 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro.
Samsung Galaxy S25 • Google Pixel 9 Pro • Apple iPhone 16 Pro • OnePlus 13S
You have to keep in mind that the vivo X200 FE is a lot cheaper than the Galaxy, Pixel or iPhone and competitive with the OnePlus. Here’s a price comparison for Europe and India, based on MSRP (discounted prices go up and down all the time).
