Vivo X Fold 5, X200 FE launching in India on July 14

Vivo X200 FE: Compact Powerhouse with Pro-Level Imaging

Vivo X200 FE and X Fold5 India launch date leaks and it’s just a month away

The vivo X200 FE is designed for users who want flagship performance in a sleek, portable package. Weighing just 186g and featuring a 6.31-inch 1.5K 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display, it delivers vibrant visuals with a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ chipset, paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage, the X200 FE ensures smooth multitasking and gaming.

Its standout feature is the vivo ZEISS Co-engineered Imaging System, which includes:

• 50MP ZEISS Main Camera with VCS True Color technology for vibrant, accurate colours.
• 50MP ZEISS Telephoto Camera with 3x optical zoom for sharp, distant shots.
• 8MP Ultra Wide-Angle Camera for expansive landscapes.
• 50MP Front Camera for high-quality selfies.

AI-powered features like ZEISS Multifocal Portrait, Stage Portrait Studio, and Street Photography Mode make it a versatile photography tool. The X200 FE also boasts a 6,500mAh battery with 90W FlashCharge, offering all-day endurance and an IP68/IP69 rating for durability. Available in Amber Yellow, Luxe Grey, and Frost Blue, it’s a stylish compact flagship.

Comparison with OnePlus 13S

In the compact flagship segment, the X200 FE competes with the OnePlus 13S, another premium device launched in India around the same time. While the OnePlus 13S features a 6,260mAh battery and a similar 120Hz AMOLED display, the X200 FE edges out with its larger 6,500mAh battery and superior ZEISS-tuned camera system. The OnePlus 13S, powered by a Snapdragon chipset, may appeal to users who prioritize raw performance. Still, the X200 FE’s advanced imaging and IP69 rating make it a better choice for photography enthusiasts and those seeking durability.

Vivo X Fold5: India’s Brightest and Lightest Foldable

Vivo X Fold5

The vivo X Fold5 redefines the foldable category with its premium design and flagship performance. At just 217g and 9.2mm when folded, it’s one of the lightest and slimmest foldables, rivalling the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7. It features an 8.03-inch 2K+ AMOLED inner display and a 6.53-inch AMOLED cover screen, both of which have a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of up to 4,500 nits. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage, ensures seamless performance.

The X Fold5’s ZEISS Co-engineered Imaging System includes:

• 50MP VCS Bionic Main Camera (Sony IMX921) for exceptional clarity.
• 50MP Telephoto Camera (IMX882) with 3x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom.
• 50MP Ultra Wide-Angle Camera for wide-angle shots.
• Dual 20MP Front Cameras (one on each display) for selfies and video calls.

Its 6,000mAh battery, the largest in an Indian foldable, supports 80W wired and 40W wireless FlashCharge. With IPX8/IPX9/IPX9+ protection and a Carbon Fibre Support Hinge, it’s built for durability.

Running on Funtouch OS 15, which is based on Android 15, it includes productivity tools such as Origin Workbench, Circle to Search with Google, Gemini Assistant, and vivo DocMaster, making it a versatile work companion.

Comparison with Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7, launched on July 9, 2025, is a direct competitor to the X Fold5. While the Z Fold7 is slightly thinner at 8.2mm when folded, the X Fold5 is lighter at 217g compared to the Z Fold7’s ~240g. Both devices use the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3, but the X Fold5’s 6,000mAh battery outshines the Z Fold7’s 4,400mAh capacity. The X Fold5’s ZEISS-tuned cameras offer superior imaging compared to the Z Fold7’s 200MP main camera, especially for portrait and telephoto shots. However, the Z Fold7 benefits from Samsung’s ecosystem and software polish, making it a tough choice for foldable buyers.
