Review with characteristics, price and specifications

The lovers of Compact phones We are in luck. First it was the OnePlus 13sand now the living X200 Fe lands, a phone that puts again on the table that can be almost All the good of a high premium range in a compact size. There are, however, some points to throw away from the ears. Not everything was going to be perfect.

Be that as it may, after just over a week analyzing the living X200 Fe, I am clear that it is One of those phones that would use gladly in my day to day. And given my level of demand with high -end mobiles, this is not something that achieves any proposal.

Vivo X200 Fe Technical Card

Design, screen and sound

What a beautiful mobile. It is the first thing I thought when I took this alive in Blue Breeze color from its box. It is an impressive blue, to which the photos do not do justice. In addition, the finish is mate and does not collect just footprints. The sensation in hand is that of a very premium phone, and has nothing to envy to proposals that even exceed it in price. That a phone like more or less is subjective, but there has not been only one person during these days that he has not told me “how beautiful.” It is not something too common.

It is a relatively compact phone, 15 cm high and quite light. I have been able to analyze enough living phones and, to date, this is by far The one that has convinced me in design. It is inevitable to comment that it is quite similar to an iPhone 16 in its songs, which combine the flat appearance with rounded corners. In my particular case, I think it is the right path.

The only complaint I have is with the button. It is literally located as high as alive, something that I don’t finish understanding. In a small phone, the ergonomics is key, and despite not being excessively high, it has cost me comfortably to the volume buttons.

Just looking at this phone in front, you know that the thing will go well. As I loved the design, I can say the same of its screen, one that reminded me of the OnePlus 13s. You have everything I can ask for:

• AMOLED technology
• 1.5K resolution
• 120 Hz of soda rate
• High peak shine (5,000 nits)
• A PWM Dimming Also High (2,160 Hz)

It is a very good screenwhich does not lack brightness and with an excellent calibration. Without a doubt, the proof that we do not need almost seven -inch screens to obtain the best quality.

The sound section has also been a surprise. Compact mobiles usually have important limitations in audio quality, but it is not the case of this living. The audio sounds strong, clear, and distortion is not especially annoying in the maximum range. In fact, it is a sound section higher than that of many 6.78 -inch mobiles.

Performance, software and autonomy

In the performance section I have to give a small pull of ears to this phone. And it has nothing to do with the fact that it gives badly or it works slowly, much less, it has to do with the message and ambition that mandates alive. This phone is clearly a flagship, it has no mid -range. Thus deserved a snapdragon 8 elite or a mediatek 9400, not a MEDATEK 9300+ presented more than a year ago.

It is a good processor, the mobile flies, and I put my hand in the fire that if I put in the hands of any user this phone and another with the 8 elite, I would not notice practically anything. But, even so, when almost 1,000 euros have to bet on the best components, always.

The benchmarks make it clear where this chip is located. Your CPU is comparable to that of a Snapdragon 8s Gen 4but it is very far from proposals such as Snapdragon 8 Elite, Apple A18 Pro or even the Capada version of Dimensity 9400E, oriented to energy efficiency. Are they bad data? No. Does chicha miss for a mobile of this caliber? I dare to say yes.

Finally, pointing out that the thermal dissipation exercise is quite improvable. South Andalusia does not help, but this is One of the few phones that has come to bother me markedly in my hand. Just record 4K for a long time or play intensively for the mobile. This is not problematic only by how it bothers use, but by oting a farther horizon in which heat causes component wear.

Regarding software, I am happy with the Vivo Proposal. The living rom is cool, and I can say that of very few roms. It is a hybrid between Android stock with an air to the old oxygen roms/Cyanogenmod. Google apps by default (thanks, alive), a lot of customization, and a little Bloatware that we have left over but can uninstall. Animations (customizable), transparencies in launcher and state bar, implementation of You… everything is fine in Android 15 Based on Fontauchos.

At the level we have functions such as Roda to search, live subtitles and Native integration with Geminiand functions for photo editing, mainly. Here I do not aspire to win giants like Samsung, but offers fair and necessary to complement the experience.

In terms of battery, applause, many applause. A 6,500mah battery with fast charging 90WI can’t ask for more. Although I must say that with this generation of Silicon-carbon I am not having barbarian results. I explain myself, a phone of these dimensions with 5,000Mah has historically given me about 7/8h of screen. With this living it is easy to reach 11, as long as you spend the day stuck to the phone, of course.

In my case, consumptions have been around 4h screen with more than 60% remaining battery. And, what surprised me the most, It is the little thing I spend when it is at rest. Without a doubt, the sample that size is no excuse for not introducing a large capacity battery.

Chambers: Well, no huge module was needed

Before talking about the cameras of this phone, I have a few words for the module. How it is appreciated to hold a phone in which the rear is not 40% camera. And, eye, because I live nothing has been left.

• Main Chamber of 50 Megapixels, signed by Zeiss
• 50 megapixel teleobjective camera, signed by Zeiss. Two -increase optical zoom
• 8 megapixel ultra angle camera.

The camera app is … dense. It is super complete and quite intuitive, with options to get lost if we are lovers of mobile photography. I like how fast it shoots, and the amount of possibilities and ways it offers. Among them, Pro, microvide, Timelapse mode, dedicated star mode, etc.

Photographs with the main sensor

The House of Vivo X2oo Fe is good, although not excellent. As points in favor, comment that it has a very good dynamic range, a quite pleasant warm white balance, and it is that type of camera that will not leave you lying in any circumstance, can with everything.

Not so in favor, the easily appreciable watercolor effect when we expand the image a little. This is not due to the lack of quality in the sensor or the capabilities of the phone: It is a processing decision that this has been taken and that, therefore, can be reversed through updates.

I live, if you listen to me … No noise trace ished to the extreme: it ends with naturalness and sharpness. It is a problem that begins to solve a good part of the Asian manufacturers, and that is still pending in some models, such as this.

Photographs with the teleobjective sensor

On the zoom side, the work is well done. There is still that washing exercise (especially when we go from ten increases, where it still remains quite well), but The work done by the X3 optical zoom is excellent. The consistency at the color level, dynamic range and white balance with respect to the main sensor is great, and having an usable zoom to X10 on such a small mobile is a gesture to thank.

Photographs with the ultra wide angle

The ultra wide angle of only 8 megapixels It is undoubtedly the weakest sensor. I am quite clear that I lived it has just introduced it for not being left behind in the career of versatility and that, in its attempt to prioritize a design without a giant module, a larger sensor has not fit. Here we find a result that looks more like that of a mid -range phone than the flagship we are analyzing.

Selfie

The selfie is correct, although the processing load is quite strong in the skin. It shows that the device tries to maximize the dynamic range, which sometimes generates excessive luminosity in the face.

Video

The video is not the strongest point of this living. He lacks stabilization work, and does not have the most clear 4K he has seen. Again, the main one but is the defendant. It shows that it is a fairly forced video at the software level.

I live x200 faith, the opinion and note of Xataka

I liked the living x200 faith, a lot. I reiterate on what I commented on the introduction: it is one of the few mobiles that would buy me with my money … if not for the processor. 849 euros are many euros, and for this amount we find phones in the market with the best chips in the market. It is true that, from today to June 7, you can buy this phone on pre-launching with € 80 discount coupon, 80W charger and TWS 3E LIVE HEADPHARDS

He speaks enough in his favor that the only sticks are not to have the last Snapdragon/Mediatek and that the camera asks for an update to eliminate the watercolor effect. For the rest, it is a telephone that has little to envy the most ambitious proposals in the market.
