Vivo has officially added the X200 FE to its Philippine line‑up, positioning the handset as a true “compact flagship.” Tipping the scales at just 186 g, the phone packs a 6.31‑inch LTPO AMOLED panel capable of 120 Hz refresh and a searing 5,000‑nit peak brightness—matching, and in some cases eclipsing, the visual punch of larger rivals.
Powering this petite package is MediaTek’s Dimensity 9300+ processor teamed with 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512 GB of fast UFS 3.1 storage. Vivo’s RAM Boost can borrow an extra 12 GB from storage for heavy multitasking, while a micro‑nano heat‑spreader keeps thermals in check during sustained gaming sessions.
Photography leans on ZEISS optics: a 50 MP Sony IMX921 main sensor, an 8 MP ultra‑wide, and a 50 MP 3× periscope telephoto capable of 100× digital zoom. Vivo’s new Stage Mode adds gyro‑assisted panning to steady shaky concert footage, and a 32 MP front camera handles selfies.
Despite its svelte footprint, the X200 FE houses a 6,500 mAh BlueVolt battery rated for more than nine hours of continuous gameplay. A bundled 90 W FlashCharge brick promises a full refill in under forty minutes, while five‑fold safety circuits protect against over‑voltage.
Ruggedness hasn’t been ignored. The aluminum chassis carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance and survives drop tests that typically topple slim flagships. Extras include stereo speakers, Wi‑Fi 7, NFC, an in‑display fingerprint reader, and Android 15 skinned with Funtouch OS 15.
The lone 12 GB / 512 GB trim launches at ₱44,999, with pre‑orders open through July 25 at Vivo concept stores and partner kiosks nationwide. Early adopters receive a smartwatch bundle, protective case, and a two‑year extended‑warranty card. For regional context, the same variant debuted in India last week at ₹54,999, underscoring Vivo’s aggressive local pricing strategy.
With most premium phones edging past 6.7 inches, the X200 FE proves there’s still demand for hand‑friendly hardware that refuses to compromise on performance, cameras, or battery life.
