These days, it is quite difficult to get a compact phone that stands out from the competition. vivo X200 FE maybe the one that particular phone that you have been looking for. Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset that’s as good as the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, to a 50 MP ZEISS camera with crazy 100x zoom, 4K/50 fps video with awesome stabilisation, AI tricks that feel like magic, and that Metallic Green finish!
MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ the alternative ?
The X200 FE runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, and let me tell you, this chip is a monster. It’s built on a 4nm process with a setup that includes one super-fast Arm Cortex-X4 core at 3.4 GHz, three more Cortex-X4 cores at 2.85 GHz, and four Cortex-A720 cores at 2.0 GHz. Paired with the Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU, it’s like having a mini gaming PC in my pocket. Honestly, it’s right up there between Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and Gen 3, benchmarked using Geekbench 6.
Why I’m Impressed:
It handles my multitasking like a champ—think editing photos, streaming music, and chatting on WhatsApp without a hiccup.
It stays cool, which is a big deal for a phone this slim (7.99mm) and light (186g). No sweaty hands here!
The dual nano SIM slot with Dual SIM Dual Standby (DSDS) is a lifesaver for juggling my work and personal numbers. You can also configure is to use a SIM and a eSIM.
The AI Processing Unit (APU) is like the cherry on top, making photos and videos smarter and keeping the phone running like a dream. It’s as good as the AI in Snapdragon-powered phones, and it’s got me hooked.
Battery and Design: 6500 mAh with 90W FlashCharge
This phone is a featherweight at 71.76mm wide, 7.99mm thick, and 186g, but it’s got a massive 6500 mAh BlueVolt Battery with 90W FlashCharge. I’m talking serious staying power:
9.5 hours of gaming without a hitch.
25.4 hours of YouTube marathons.
44.9 hours of yakking on calls.
The aerospace-grade aluminium frame, IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance, SGS Triple Protection, and Military-grade Certification mean it can survive my clumsy moments and outdoor adventures. The Metallic Sand Anti-Glare finish in Metallic Green? I’m in love—it’s 40% smoother than standard finishes and feels so premium. The “squircle” shape and Rhythm Eye camera design make it comfy to hold and just plain cool to look at.
