vivo X200 FE: A Compact Powerhouse with Flagship-Level Telephoto Features

vivo has officially launched the X200 FE, the brand’s first compact telephoto flagship in its X series lineup. Designed to deliver top-tier performance in a sleek, pocket-friendly form, the X200 FE redefines what compact smartphones can achieve, bringing flagship imaging, bold aesthetics, and robust hardware to users who want power in the palm of their hand.

Design: Stylishly Compact for a Generation on the Move
Crafted for modern professionals and spirited individuals who value efficiency and creativity, the X200 FE brings together a refined one-handed experience with bold visual appeal. It sports a 6.31-inch flat display, measures just 71.76mm wide, 7.99mm thick, and weighs only 186g. Thanks to precision component stacking, it achieves a perfect 1:1 weight distribution for a balanced grip, while the minimalist camera module occupies just 9% of the back surface.

Taking cues from the “squircle” shape, a hybrid of square and circle, the phone balances softness and strength in its aesthetic. Its Rhythm Eye camera design enhances both visual appeal and in-hand comfort, while the Metallic Sand Anti-Glare finish improves texture by around 40% over traditional coatings, resulting in a refined matte touch.

The X200 FE is available in expressive Blue and Black finishes, with a structural frame made from aerospace-grade aluminium for durability without added weight. Built to withstand everyday wear and adventure, it carries IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance, SGS Triple Protection Certification, and Military-grade Certification, ensuring it’s as tough as it is elegant.

The viewing experience is elevated with a 1.5K LTPO ZEISS Master Colour Display, offering cinematic colour fidelity and immersive clarity. It delivers up to 1800 nits brightness in HBM mode for outdoor visibility, along with 2160Hz PWM dimming and low blue light certification for eye comfort during prolonged use.

Camera: Flagship Imaging, Now in Compact Form
Continuing vivo’s commitment to photographic excellence, the X200 FE brings advanced ZEISS Multifocal imaging to a compact device. Its 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera features Stage Mode for capturing high-energy live moments with realism and detail. Powered by the Sony IMX882 Ultra-Sensitive Sensor and AI Telephoto Enhance, it excels in both urban and natural settings.

A trapezoidal prism periscope lens with an M-shaped optical path allows for a slim yet powerful camera module, perfect for the phone’s compact profile. The X200 FE supports a full range of Multifocal Portraits at 23mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and even 100mm, giving users studio-like versatility in one device.

 

Live Photo support also ensures smoother cross-platform sharing, including with iPhones. And with seven ZEISS bokeh styles and cinematic lens flares, users can recreate timeless portrait looks with modern precision. The built-in Street Photography Mode captures raw, imperfect beauty in seconds; just double-press the volume down button while the screen is off.

For creative editing, the new AI Image Studio brings tools like AI Magic Move, AI Image Expander, and AI Reflection Erase, giving users pro-level image control in a compact and travel-ready format.

Performance: Compact Size, Full-Throttle Power
Despite its slim profile, the X200 FE packs serious performance. It’s powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ flagship chipset, enabling fluid multitasking, fast loading, and reliable AI-enhanced responsiveness across apps and workflows.

 

Fueling it all is a 6500mAh BlueVolt Battery, supported by 90W FlashCharge. The X200 FE can run up to 9.5 hours of gaming, 25.4 hours of YouTube streaming, or 44.9 hours of talk time on a single charge, proving that endurance doesn’t have to come in a big package.

Additional productivity features include stereo dual speakers for immersive audio, Multi-Scenario NFC, and an infrared remote for controlling home appliances, making the X200 FE a smart assistant for everyday life.

Availability and Pricing
The vivo X200 FE will be available, starting at S$999 at Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, and authorised retailers including Challenger, Best Denki, Courts, Gain City, Popular, and Harvey Norman. It will also be available through major telcos across the country.
