If you want a flagship-like experience from vivo but don’t want to spend as much money as the vivo X200 costs, then the vivo X200 FE is definitely a great alternative.
Apart from being Php13,000 cheaper, the X200 FE’s powerful processor should still provide a flagship-like experience. Plus, it shares the same 12GB/512GB configuration as the former, which should give you the same amount of multitasking prowess and space for all your apps and photos.
What’s more, it shares the same main and telephoto cameras as the X200, so if photography is a top priority, you’ll be good with the cheaper option.
Easily our favorite perk of going with the vivo X200 FE is its compact design. It has a small 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED screen, which makes it really easy to use with one hand.
Also, despite its smaller size, it managed to have a bigger 6,500mAh battery.
But if money is not an issue, then proceed with the vivo X200. The bigger display, more powerful processor, faster storage, and other extras like dual-band GPS should be enough to justify the price premium.
