The next Fan Edition smartphone is not coming from Samsung
Vivo X200 FE has the same specs as the S30 Pro Mini | Image credit: Samsung has found a way to make its 'flagship killers' stand out by attaching a special 'Fan Edition' tag to their names. These phones are slightly dumbed down versions of the company's popular flagships and are meant to offer a similar premium experience to those who can't afford Samsung's top-tier seems to have learned the lesson and decided to launch its own 'FE' version of a flagship, the X200 FE. This is the same phone that Vivo launches in China as S30 Pro Mini, which is now being released worldwide. The X200 FE will be initially introduced in Taiwan on June 23, followed by a wider global rollout starting on June 30. A new report claims the phone will be available in four colors: Black, Blue, Pink, and Yellow. European customers will be able to pick this one up for no less than €850, which seems a bit pricy for a 'flagship killer.' Since this has already been released in China, we know everything there is to know about its specs. For starters, the X200 FE is equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 9300+ chipset, which made its debut about a year ago. Vivo's high-end phone packs 12GB RAM and 512GB internal storage. The large 6,500 mAh battery supports 90W wired charging speeds. There are three cameras on the back side: 50-megapixel main, 50-megapixel telephoto, and 8-megapixel ultra-wide. Also, the X200 FE features a 50-megapixel selfie camera on the front side. Vivo X200 FE is a lot more expensive than its Chinese counterpart | Image credit: The X200 FE is a rather compact smartphone, which is why it sports a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with 1216 x 2640 pixels resolution, and 1-120Hz dynamic refresh rate. Other highlights of the phone include Android 15, IP68/IP69 ratings, under display fingerprint sensor, and stereo speakers. Vivo X200 FE lacks microSD card support, so you'll be stuck with the default storage. On paper, Vivo X200 FE is a pretty decent high-end smartphone, but the price might remove it from everyone's wishlists. Just for reference, the cheapest version of S30 Pro Mini was priced to sell for 3,500 yuan ($485/€420) in China, so an €850 retail price in Europe might kill it on arrival.

Realme GT 7 to be among the first with the new Dimensity 9400e chipset
Realme isn't beating around the bush – it is calling the upcoming GT 7 a 'flagship killer'. To be clear, this is about the global version, which will be revealed on May 27, and not the GT7 for China. The Chinese model uses the new Dimensity 9400+, while the global Realme GT 7 will be powered by the new (announced today, in fact) Dimensity 9400e. It should be noted that despite what the names of the chipsets suggest, the 9400e is closer to the 9300+ than the 9400+. It is fabbed on a 4nm node (TSMC N4P) and uses four Cortex-X4 (one at 3.4GHz and three at 2.85GHz) plus four Cortex-A720 (2.0GHz), plus an Immortalis-G720 MC12 GPU. For comparison, the Dimensity 9400+ is built on a newer 3nm node (N3E), uses a Cortex-X925 (3.73GHz) as its prime core and features the Immortalis-G925 MC12 GPU. In terms of performance, Realme claims that the Dimensity 9400e will become one of the Top 3 chipsets for Android with an AnTuTu score of over 2.25 million (tested at room temperature). Note that one promo image claims 2.45 million points, but we think it's 2.25 million, judging by 9300+'s performance. Realme GT 7 details: Dimensity 9400e • Stable 120fps in 20+ games • GT Boost The GT Boost feature uses frame-by-frame prediction to adjust power distribution inside the chipset to improve efficiency while maintaining high frame rates. The Realme GT 7 can run the Top 20 most popular games at 120fps continuously, claims the company. This includes titles like Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Honor of Kings. Previously, Realme confirmed that the GT 7 will have a 7,000mAh battery with 120W wired charging. 'IceSense' is graphene cover on the back panel, which is infused with fiberglass. This cover helps cool the chipset by 6°C, according to the teasers from a couple of days ago. More Realme GT 7 details, including 6,000 nit display and 7,000mAh battery with 120W charging By the way, we have a Realme GT 7 in for review (in IceSense Blue) and we will be putting it through its paces – but full details will have to wait until Realme draws the curtains and announces the GT 7.
