Tiny smartphones with powerful cameras – Are smartphone makers finally giving people what they want to? The vivo X200 FE may not be as powerful as the X200 Pro Mini, but it will at least be widely available – which is more than the OnePlus 13T.
vivo X200 FE with 6.31″ display. It is taller, wider, and heavier than Galaxy S25. However, it is smaller and lighter than Pixel 9 Pro. It’s about the same size and weight as the iPhone 16 Pro. It’s almost the same size as OnePlus 13s, the version of the 13T that is only available in India.
Unlike the Pro Mini, the FE uses a Dimensity chip 9300+ rather than a 9400 series chip. This is still a lot of performance. It has a 6,500mAh power bank that will make even bigger phones jealous, especially when it comes to 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.

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).
