Smartphones just kept getting bigger and bigger. While size does matter in the tech world, many have started craving small and compact phones — remembering the days when mobile devices could easily be used with one hand and didn’t create a huge bulk in your pocket.

That’s why we started seeing compact phones in the last few years, but most of them suffer from major compromises in a desperate attempt to keep the size and costs down. Fortunately, the vivo X200 FE has arrived.

The vivo X200 FE is equipped with an impressive set of features. In fact, some of them even outshine those from much bigger phones.

There are tons to like about this device. But for today, we’ll be talking about the 3 key features that make the vivo X200 FE one of the most standout phones in its segment.

So compact, you only need one hand

All of the impressive characteristics of the vivo X200 FE revolve around how incredibly compact it is.

It has a 6.31-inch AMOLED flat display — the optimum size for productivity and comfort. The screen is large enough for enjoyable video streaming and efficient multitasking, yet small enough so you can conveniently use it with just one hand.

Having a small screen translates to an overall smaller and lighter body. It is only 150.8mm tall, 71.8mm wide, and weighs just 186g — really impressive for a device of its caliber.

Apart from its sleek build, the X200 FE looks aesthetically pleasing overall. It is available in Black Luxe and the unit we have, Blue Breeze, which is really an eye candy.

In addition, vivo used a Metallic Sand Anti-Glare matte finish that’s 40% better than traditional AG glass and is more skin-friendly and smoother to the touch.

Oh, and going back, vivo didn’t use just any other display panel here. It’s an LTPO AMOLED ZEISS Master Color Display with a sharp 1.5K resolution, 5000-nit peak brightness, HDR10+, and SGS Low Blue Light Certification to keep your eyes safe.

Having a bright and accurate screen is a perfect match to the vivo X200 FE’s killer set of cameras.

Take your best portraits with ZEISS Telephoto Camera

The vivo X-series is known for its camera hardware — made even better by their partnership with renowned optics company ZEISS. That continues to be the case even on a small device such as the vivo X200 FE.

Featuring a 50-megapixel ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, the vivo X200 uses a Sony IMX882 sensor to take 3x optical zoom photos, which is great for portraits.

Shots look extra special and distinct with the ZEISS Multifocal Portrait modes — it’s like having different professional lenses right in your pocket. There’s the 23mm for landscape portraits, 35mm for street portraits, 50mm for classic and natural portraits, 85mm to highlight the subject, and 100mm for close ups.

Avid concert goers would also love the camera’s Stage Mode. Even if you’re far away from your idol, the telephoto camera and the X200 FE’s intelligent software can take photos with great facial clarity, true-to-life colors, and preserve the overall energy of the moment with the right exposure despite the unpredictable lighting scenario of events.

Furthermore, the vivo X200 FE has a large 50-megapixel main camera with an IMX921 sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide, and another sharp 50-megapixel shooter on the front for selfies.

They take the same impressive photos that the X series is prominent for: vibrant and realistic colors, wide dynamic range, and sharp details.

To ensure you only post the best photos, the AI Image Studio comes with advanced features like AI Image Expander, AI Reflection Erase, and AI Magic Move that can literally move the subject in the picture for better framing.

The vivo X200 FE proves that no matter the size, the vivo X series will provide nothing but great photography experience.

No-compromise longevity and durability

A small phone means short battery life, but not with the vivo X200 FE. It features vivo’s 6,500mAh BlueVolt Battery — the biggest among all compact flagship phones in the market. In fact, it’s even bigger than what larger phones have.

With this battery capacity, you can watch TikTok videos for 15.9 hours, play music via the loudspeaker for 50.97 hours, or play games for 9.55 hours straight.

And if you’re worried that the enormous battery will take forever to charge, you don’t have to. vivo has paired it with their 90W FlashCharge, which can fuel it back from 1% to a full 100% charge in under an hour.

vivo also made sure that the device stays safe despite its large battery and fast charging, thanks to these innovations: Electrode Compress Technique 2.0, C-FPACK Packaging, Semi-Solid Electrolyte, Lightweight OS 2.0, and Heterogeneous Computing 2.0.

Speaking of longevity, the vivo X200 FE is built to last you for years and years to come. It is IP68 and IP69 rated for withstanding high-pressure and high-temperature water, as well as being submersed in clean water for up to half an hour at 1.5-meter depth.

Its reinforced Gorilla Shield glass also earned the device a MIL-STD-810H Military Grade Shock Resistance certification. Plus, its SGS Triple Protection and Military-Grade Certifications proved it can handle rigorous impact testing.

An incredibly compact design, killer cameras, extra-long battery life, and extensive durability certifications — these are the things that make the vivo X200 FE a standout in the high-end smartphone race.

You can get the vivo X200 FE for Php44,999 at the vivo e-store and physical stores nationwide.
