The vivo X200 FE is coming real soon to the Philippines

Mark your calendars July 18!

Do you ever wish for more “mini” smartphones for the Philippine market?

Wait no further as the vivo X200 FE is going to reach local shores this month.

The Smol X200

The vivo X200 FE is considered a “mini” phone for its overall dimensions.

It has a thin 7.99 side profile, 71.76mm of width, and only 186 grams of lightweight~ness.

Precision-stacked components give the phone a balanced weight distribution — making it very suitable for one-handed use.

Frame is made from aerospace-grade aluminum with superior drop resistance.

And with those in the way, this small smartphone also boasts dual IP68 + IP69 ratings for utmost protection against the unavoidable water and sand particles.

There’s also an SGS Triple Protection Certification and military-grade durability for the toughest and harshest of environments.

Finishing it with its back covered in a Metallic Sand Anti-Glare (AG) coating — which is about 40% smoother than traditional AG surfaces.

For what it offers, the vivo X200 FE isn’t your regular tiny phone, it’s a compact powerhouse.

Inside, it’s equipped with a flagship-grade MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ 4nm SoC.

It’s then backed by a smaller 6.31-inch 120Hz LTPO AMOLED 1.5K display yet packed with all the great screen specs.

The rear “Rhythm Eye” camera design of the vivo X200 FE may look minimal but it packs a powerful ZEISS camera system.

And believe it or not, there’s even a periscope telephoto module beneath it.

Wondering how it’s possible for such a small form factor? Well, it features a breakthrough trapezoidal prism periscope lens with an M-type optical path design.

That’s in contrary to the elongated L-type structure found on most camera-centric smartphones — including its bigger X200 Pro brother.

Unlike its nearest neighbors though, the Philippines is only getting two colorways: Blue Breeze and Black Luxe.

If you really fancy those flashy Pink and Yellow colors with contrasting black-coated frames (like I do), you have to source it elsewhere.

Mark your calendars!

vivo’s first “mini” smartphone will land soon in the Philippines on July 18, 2025.

Stay tuned on vivo Philippines’ website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X to witness the launch of the vivo X200 FE.
