vivo X200 FE review
The vivo X200 FE impresses right off the bat - it is indeed a colorful compact phone (8mm thin, 186g) with a 6.31-inch 120Hz 1216p AMOLED display, top-notch Dimensity 9300+ chip, and a massive 6,500 mAh battery promising over 25h of YouTube streaming or 10h of gaming (we'll see about that).
That's not all, though. Being a part of the X series means the X200 FE must have some impressive photography skills, and the specsheet doesn't disappoint - we're getting Zeiss-enhanced 50MP primary camera and 50MP 3x telephoto, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 50MP selfie shooter. Not quite Ultra-level specs, but pretty remarkable for the size.
Unlike the X200 Ultra, the vivo X200 FE is a global model that boots Android 15 with Funtouch 15. It's got an IP68/IP69 ingress protection rating, and, of course, you can choose between a handful of colorways - Blue Breeze, Yellow Glow, Pink Vibe, and Black Luxe. vivo X200 FE specs at a glance: Body: 150.8x71.8x8.0mm, 186g; Glass front, aluminum frame, glass back; IP68/IP69 dust tight and water resistant (high pressure water jets; immersible up to 1.5m for 30 min).

The specsheet is nothing short of impressive, given the size of the phone and its battery. Wireless charging would have been nice, or a larger sensor for the ultrawide camera, but even as is - it does look like an awesome package. Unboxing the vivo X200 FE
The vivo X200 FE arrives inside a large carboard box, which contains the phone, a 90W power adapter, and a USB-A-C cable.
The bundle also packs a color-matching protective case for extra security and extra grip.
Finally, there is also a pre-applied screen protector on the display, in case you need better scratch resistance.

Galaxy S25 FE shows up again, this time in full color
Galaxy S24 FE . | Image credit – PhoneArena Samsung is not done for 2025 just yet – there are still more Galaxy phones on the way, and one of them is the Galaxy S25 Fan Edition. It is the more budget-friendly alternative in the flagship Galaxy S lineup and while most of the specs have already leaked, we now also have a fresh look at the phone's design.A new image shows off (translated source) the Galaxy S25 FE in four color options and yep, the design once again sticks very close to last year's model. If you remember, the Galaxy S24 FE came in Blue, Graphite, Gray, Mint and Yellow. This year's S25 FE is expected to launch in: Dark Blue Light Blue Black White This is how the upcoming Galaxy S25 FE might look like. That said, we wouldn't rule out more options showing up later and Samsung might also decide to spice things up with more playful marketing names, as previously rumored. It is not unusual for a company to rename 'Dark Blue' into something like 'Navy Fog' just for the marketing punch. Aside from the new colors, the S25 FE is said to bring a slimmer and lighter body, with thinner bezels that should help the design feel a bit more modern. However, internally, Samsung seems to be sticking to the same formula as last year, essentially cramming all the S24 FE hardware into a sleeker shell. Galaxy S24 FE Review: The best Fan Edition yet You are still getting a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 120Hz refresh rate, and camera-wise, nothing is expected to change, either. That means the same setup as before – and actually, the same as the base Galaxy S24: 50 MP main with OIS 12 MP ultra-wide 8 MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom This trio already delivered solid results in our camera tests, so even without any upgrades this time around, users should still be happy with the overall performance. Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 FE is expected to run on the Exynos 2400 chip, with 8 GB of RAM and your choice of 128 GB or 256 GB storage. 45W charging should finally be on board too, although we still don't have the full battery details just usually launches its Fan Edition models in the fall, so that is the window we are expecting again this year. If pricing stays the same, you are looking at a $650 starting price. That's notably higher than the Google Pixel 9a, which starts at $499 and often sees discounts, making the Pixel a tough competitor in this affordable flagship space.

Be prepared to answer an important question when setting up your new Galaxy phone
It's interesting that Samsung Galaxy phones and Google Pixel phones have a big difference out of the box that not too many talk about. When you buy a Samsung Galaxy handset and set it up, by default, the device has the three-button navigation system enabled. These three buttons are Back, Home, and Recents (open apps). Pixel phones, on the other hand, come out of the box with gesture navigation enabled. Users of either phone can switch. Pixel users can go from the gesture navigation to the three-button navigation by going to Settings > Display & touch > Navigation mode . You'll choose between Gesture navigation and three-button navigation. To go from the three-button navigation to gesture navigation on a Galaxy phone, go to Settings > Display > Navigation bar > Swipe gestures . Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 users with this prompt can choose which style of navigation they want to use while setting up the phone. | Image credit-SammyGuru By including this option with a One UI 8 beta, it would seem to indicate that most purchasers of Galaxy phones change to the Gesture system. Otherwise, Samsung would not include the option to change. Look at it this way. If most Galaxy users wanted to stay with the three-buttpn navigation and that is the default option, why offer users a chance to change it mid- setup? Usually, there are some animated instructions that show how the gestures work, and the new phone user will then choose how he/she want to navigate around his/her phone. As we told you at the beginning of this article, there is a way for the user to change from three-button navigation to gesture navigation and vice versa. Thus, if someone chooses gesture navigation but figures out that they'd prefer the three-buttons method of navigation, they can always switch back. If Samsung does feel good about the feedback it draws from the navigation switcher supposedly tested on a One UI 8 beta, it could include it with the stable version of One UI 8 .5, which is likely to debut on the Galaxy S26 line. The next iteration of Samsung's flagship smartphone series is expected to be released in late January or early February of 2026.
