Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Super Speedy: The Dimensity 9300+ keeps up with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, smashing multitasking, gaming, and AI tasks.
  • Killer Camera: The 50 MP ZEISS camera with 100x zoom and 4K/50 fps video with stabilisation is pro-level awesome.
  • Fun AI Tools: AI Image Studio (Magic Move, Image Expander, Reflection Erase) makes photo editing a joy.
  • Stunning Design: Metallic Green Anti-Glare finish is 40% smoother than standard, with a tough, light build.
  • Epic Battery: 6500 mAh with 90W FlashCharge powers 9.5 hours of gaming or 25.4 hours of video.
  • Gorgeous Display: 1.5K LTPO ZEISS Master Colour Display with 1800 nits and 2160 Hz PWM dimming is sharp and eye-friendly.
  • Awesome Connectivity: Dual nano SIMs with DSDS and wide 5G/4G bands keep me connected everywhere.

Cons

  • Not Enough Colours: Metallic Green is amazing, but Blue, Black, and Green are the only options—more would be nice.
  • Zoom Limits: At max 100x zoom, things can get a bit grainy, which is typical for telephoto cameras.
  • Pro Mode Takes Practice: The 4K/50 fps video in Professional mode can be tricky if you’re not a camera nerd.
  • Not Everywhere: Some regions might not get the X200 FE or all its features, which is a drag.
  • Gimbal Costs Extra: Stabilisation is great, but the smoothest videos need a separate gimbal, which isn’t cheap.
  • Small Screen Quirks: The 6.31″ display is perfect for portability but might need bigger fonts for comfy reading.

Conclusion

This phone is basically everything I want in a smartphone, wrapped up in a tiny, stylish package:

The Metallic Green finish with an anti-glare texture gives off a premium vibe—sleek, stylish, and great to hold. Its compact size, with a 6.31″ display and a weight of just 186g, makes one-handed use effortless, although I might increase the font size for better readability on the smaller screen.

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, the vivo X200 FE rivals the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 in performance—delivering blazing-fast speeds for apps, games, and seamless multitasking. Its compact design and 6.31″ screen make it perfect for one-handed use, especially with adjustable font scaling.

Creativity shines through the 50 MP ZEISS sensor, capable of 100x zoom and 4K video recording at 50 fps in Professional mode. Video stabilisation is impressive even without accessories, though pairing with a gimbal unlocks cinema-grade fluidity. AI Magic Move and AI Image Expander bring intuitive, in-phone editing that’s both powerful and playful.

Connectivity is top-tier with dual SIM (DSDS) and support for wide 5G/4G bands like n77, n78, B1, and B5—ensuring you’re linked no matter where you go. Backed by a massive 6500 mAh battery and 90W FlashCharge, power anxiety becomes a thing of the past. Toss in the Metallic Green finish, and you’ve got a device that’s not just functional but a statement.
