Vivo X200 FE may launch in India soon: Specs, features and possible India price
Vivo is expected to launch a new smartphone in India under its X200 series, dubbed the Vivo X200 FE. This phone could very well complete the missing link that existed when the first batch of X200 series phones arrived in the country. When the X200 line-up launched in China, many assumed all three models — X200, X200 Pro, and X200 Pro Mini — would make it to India. However, Vivo skipped the 'Mini' version entirely, choosing only to introduce the standard and Pro variants. That now appears to be changing. Not because the X200 Pro Mini is finally arriving, but because the Vivo X200 FE is expected to fill that gap. While not officially branded the same, the X200 FE is likely a rebranded version of the S30 Pro Mini from China. advertisementThe Vivo X200 FE is rumoured to feature a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, the handset is likely to be powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 9400e chipset, an enhanced version of the Dimensity 9300+ chip. It is also expected to be available in storage variants going up to 16GB RAM and 512GB internal storage, though the Indian market will likely see a 12GB + 256GB variant priced at around Rs 50, life seems to be another strong point. The X200 FE is tipped to pack a large 6,500mAh battery, backed by 90W fast charging support, which should comfortably get most users through a full day and then some, with minimal time plugged in. Vivo is also expected to retain some premium features such as a metal frame, dual stereo speakers, an IR blaster, and an IP69 rating for dust and water resistance. advertisement Camera-wise, the phone could sport a triple rear setup headlined by a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 sensor with OIS, paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The front is said to feature a 50-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls. In terms of software, expect to see Funtouch OS 15 based on Android 15 out of the Vivo has yet to confirm the launch, multiple reports suggest an India debut in July. Speaking of which, the smartphone was recently spotted on India's BIS certification website, suggesting an imminent launch. The X200 FE is also said to be available in grey and yellow colour options when it comes to India.

I wish Samsung and Google copied these great camera zoom controls
Hadlee Simons / Android Authority Google and Samsung frequently top our lists of the best camera phones on the market, and I can understand why. A big reason for this is that they both have great camera apps, offering distinctive designs, mostly consistent image quality, and a variety of modes. However, after using recent vivo phones like the X200 Ultra and X200 Pro, I realized there's one very useful UI choice that I'd love to see on my Pixel and Galaxy phones, and that would be more powerful and intuitive zoom controls. Tap that zoom button, then tap it again The vivo camera app isn't a looker by any measure, but it gets the job done in terms of features and modes. However, the way it handles zoom levels is much better than I've seen on any Samsung Galaxy or Google Pixel phone. More specifically, you can tap a preset zoom level (e.g., 1x, 3.7x, 10x) to enter it, and then tap it once or several more times for additional zoom options. For example, I can tap the 1x button on the X200 Pro while I'm already at 1x zoom to switch to 1.2x (28mm). Tapping the button again will zoom in to 1.4x (35mm). The vivo X200 Ultra offers a 35mm main camera, equivalent to 1.4x or 1.5x on other phones, but you can tap the 35mm button once more for a 50mm option, and then tap it again for 70mm zoom. Check out the demo in the video below for an idea of how it all works. This becomes very handy at longer zoom ranges. Vivo's flagship phones tend to offer a 10x preset zoom button. This already represents an improvement over my Google Pixel phone, which doesn't offer a 10x button at all. However, tapping this button when I'm already at 10x lets me quickly switch to 15x, 20x, 30x, and 50x, too. Sure, you're probably not going to use 30x or 50x on most flagship Android phones, but it's a very convenient way to access long-range zooms. Samsung phones do a better job than Pixel devices when it comes to giving you more preset zoom shortcuts. Most notably, the latest Ultra phones in the Galaxy S series have a 10x button, as well as an overflow menu that shows 30x and 100x options. But I still have to use the finicky zoom slider for a 1.5x, 15x, or 20x snap, or anything in between 30x and 100x. Meanwhile, my 2022-era Google Pixel 7 Pro tops out with a 5x button, so I must use the overly sensitive zoom slider for 10x or 20x. I also have to use the slider for 1.5x, 3x, and other zoom ranges below 5x. Would you like to see this vivo camera zoom feature on your phone? 0 votes Yes, for sure NaN % No, I wouldn't NaN % That's why I'd love to see Google and Samsung copy vivo's method of handling camera zoom. It's a very sensible, intuitive approach that takes a lot of the frustration out of finding the right zoom level on a smartphone. I realized how much I missed this feature when I recently switched back to my S23 Ultra and Pixel 7 Pro, after using the vivo X200 Ultra, and found myself fruitlessly tapping the zoom buttons in their camera apps. This isn't the only feature Google and Samsung should grab from their rivals. Other Android brands offer neat features like sports/snapshot modes for capturing fast-moving subjects, stage/concert modes for live performances, and the ability to share custom filters with other users. So I hope we see more of these nifty options on future Galaxy and Pixel phones.

Vivo's V50 is an iterative update, but it's still plenty of fun
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Vivo is doing all the right things in 2025; the X200 Pro continues to be one of the best camera phones of the year, and I'm excited to get my hands on the X200 Ultra and see how it measures up this year. In the meantime, the V50 is turning out to be a reliable mid-ranger with the best design in its category. That shouldn't be surprising in the least, considering Vivo is making a habit of launching gorgeous phones in the V series. I thoroughly enjoyed using the V30 Pro and V40 Pro, and while there isn't a Pro model this time (it's likely coming later), the V50 retains the best features of its predecessors while getting a sizeable 6,000mAh silicon battery. The V50 is available in select Southeast Asian countries, and in India, it costs ₹34,999 ($413) for the standard 8GB/128GB model, ₹36,999 ($436) if you want 8GB/256GB, and ₹40,999 ($484) if you're looking to get the 12GB/512GB edition. It goes up against the likes of the OnePlus 13R in the country, and Vivo is positioning the design and cameras as the key features. What I like the most is the design; phones have decidedly gotten boxier in recent years, and I'm not a fan of the trend. Thankfully, Vivo retained a thin design with smooth curves at the back, and it makes using the phone that much better. It has a glass back, but the polycarbonate mid-frame allowed Vivo to save weight, and although there's a 6000mAh battery, the phone comes in at a manageable 189g. Image 1 of 4 Image 2 of 4 Image 3 of 4 Image 4 of 4 The sleeker profile definitely makes a difference in daily use, and the Red Rose color option I'm using is gorgeous — I still don't understand why brands reserve the best colors for their mid-range phones and not flagships. The frosted glass finish at the back accentuates the color, and the design of the camera island is better this time around; you still get a sizeable module, but it doesn't look anywhere as busy as the V40. The phone has color-matched sides, and while that's undeniably good, the glossy finish detracts from the otherwise-great in-hand feel. The only other issue with the design is that the in-screen module is located a little too low, and it makes accessing it a bit awkward. That said, Vivo did a great job with ingress protection; the phone gets the standard IP68 dust and water resistance, and it even picks up IP69, allowing it to withstand jets of water. Vivo went with a slightly smaller 6.77-inch AMOLED panel on the V50, and the resolution is down to FHD+ (2392 x 1080). However, there isn't any noticeable difference in regular use between the device and the V40, and it gets just as bright. It's set to 60Hz out of the box, but you can easily switch to 120Hz via the settings, and I didn't notice any lag in day-to-day tasks. The phone has good color vibrancy and contrast levels, and there's a decent amount of customizability when it comes to adjusting the colors. Another positive is that the phone gets stereo sound — much like the V40, and it makes using the onboard sound that much better. There isn't anything new to talk about the performance, as the V50 is using the same Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 silicon as the V40 and the V30. I would have liked to see the 7s Gen 3 as it holds up a little better, and while the device is still good, it doesn't quite have the power needed to run demanding games at high settings. That said, there isn't an issue with overheating, and outside of gaming, I didn't see any lag or slowdowns with the V50. The base 8GB/128GB is a bit limited in my view, and I'd suggest getting the 8GB/256GB option instead. Connectivity is pretty good too, and I didn't have problems making calls or connecting to my home network. With Vivo continuing with a biannual release cadence, there isn't much that's different with the cameras on the V50. It has two 50MP lenses at the back, and while the main camera uses a slightly bigger module, I didn't see any difference in image quality. The phone continues to do a great job with portrait shots, and it is still one of the best mid-rangers in this area. Battery life is where I noticed the biggest difference, with the V50 having much better headroom thanks to a 6,000mAh silicon carbon battery. The phone manages to last a day and a half comfortably between charges, and even with heavy use, there are no issues getting to the end of the day. It's a similar story with charging tech; with 90W USB PD as standard, it takes under 50 minutes to charge the device. Vivo is doing good things with software as well, and I like the Android 15-based Funtouch OS 15. The interface is fluid, there's extensive customizability, and I didn't see any issues with notifications or aggressive memory management. The only point to note in this regard is that the V50 will get three Android OS updates — one less than its immediate rivals. Overall, the V50 doesn't really bring much new to the table, and that's okay. Vivo didn't need to alter the fundamentals too much, and by adding a bigger battery and refreshing the design, the brand delivered a device that's slightly better than its predecessor. If you need a camera-focused mid-ranger with a stylish design, the V50 is a great choice. With a sleeker design and great cameras, the V50 is the latest in a long line of great mid-rangers by Vivo.

Why Vivo X200 Ultra is closer to a professional camera than any other smartphone in the market
Vivo has a stronghold in the world of camera-centric smartphones, thanks to its collaboration with Zeiss. Just a few months after introducing the X200 Pro (review), the company has now unveiled the X200 Ultra, which, at least on paper, looks like a solid camera smartphone with an important trick up its sleeve. Currently limited to China, the Vivo X200 Ultra, even without any bells and whistles, is an excellent smartphone. What makes it even more special is its compatibility with external lenses, a feature traditionally limited to professional DSLRs and mirrorless cameras. Vivo X200 Ultra with the photography kit. (Express Photo) With a starting price of approximately Rs 75,938, the Vivo X200 Ultra offers an expansive quad-camera setup, featuring a 50 MP wide, 50 MP ultra-wide, and a 200 MP telephoto lens. It also supports an optional add-on zoom lens, priced at Rs 30,345, which adds additional optical magnification (2.3x to 8.7x), effectively transforming the phone into a professional-grade zoom camera. The telephoto lens kit also includes a case that adds physical camera buttons to the Vivo X200 Ultra, making it one of the most versatile camera phones in the market. While we have seen similar concepts from brands like Xiaomi, those have remained prototypes. The X200 Ultra is an actual device available for purchase, at least in China. Setting the camera capabilities aside, the rest of the X200 Ultra matches the standards of any flagship smartphone in 2025. It features a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 6.82-inch 2K resolution 120Hz display, up to 16 GB of RAM, and 1 TB of storage. The device also packs a large 6,000 mAh battery with support for 90W fast wired and 40W wireless charging. As of now, there is no information on whether the Vivo X200 Ultra will be available outside of China. Nonetheless, this smartphone is a testament to the fact that phone cameras—especially at the flagship level—are getting as good as dedicated cameras, and are only set to get better in the coming days.
