Vivo X Fold 5 and X200 FE Set to Launch in India on July 14
Vivo has officially announced the India launch of its two upcoming smartphones — the foldable X Fold 5 and the compact powerhouse X200 FE — scheduled for July 14. While the official teasers have revealed limited details, both phones have already seen their global unveilings. The X Fold 5 made its debut in China on June 26, and the X200 FE was launched in Taiwan on June 23. Interestingly, the X200 FE is essentially a rebranded version of the S30 Pro Mini from China. The X Fold 5 is being positioned as a top-tier foldable, boasting a flagship-grade camera, a massive 6,000mAh battery, and one of the brightest foldable displays yet. Meanwhile, the X200 FE represents Vivo's first major step into compact devices with high-end performance — similar to the strategy OnePlus adopted with its recently launched 13s. Vivo X Fold 5: Key Features Expected in India The Indian variant of the X Fold 5 is expected to mirror the Chinese model. This includes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 chipset, 80W wired and 40W wireless charging, and up to 80.6 hours of music playback on a single charge. Despite the large battery, the phone maintains a slim profile at 9.2mm when folded and just 4.3mm when opened, weighing only 217g. Vivo is also focusing on productivity, offering features like Workbench for multitasking (up to five tasks simultaneously), a Shortcut Button for quick access, and a Kinematic hinge rated for 600,000 folds. On the camera front, users can expect a triple 50MP setup — including a main, ultra-wide, and telephoto lens — co-engineered with Zeiss, offering 3x optical zoom and up to 100x digital zoom. The foldable's display is a major highlight, with Vivo claiming a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, potentially making it the brightest phone screen on the market. Pricing will be crucial for the X Fold 5's success in India. In China, it starts at CNY 6,999 (approx. ₹83,400) for the 12GB+256GB model. Given it shares the same chipset as last year, Vivo may opt for a more aggressive pricing strategy in India. Vivo X200 FE: Compact Powerhouse Incoming The Vivo X200 FE is expected to feature a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, packed into a slim 7.99mm body. Powering the device could be the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ or the newer 9400e chip, paired with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The phone is also tipped to sport a 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging, promising all-day performance and then some. On the back, the Zeiss-branded camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, 50MP telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide unit. The device may also come with IP68 and IP69 ratings, offering excellent durability — a rarity in this price range. In terms of pricing, the X200 FE is expected to retail around ₹55,000 in India, though final pricing will be revealed at the launch event. Final Thoughts With both devices already generating buzz globally, all eyes are now on Vivo's July 14 launch event in India. Whether it's the ultra-slim, camera-focused X Fold 5 or the compact-yet-mighty X200 FE, Vivo seems poised to make a strong impact in both the foldable and compact premium segments this year.

The foldable's display is another major talking point, with Vivo claiming a peak brightness of 4,500 nits — which would make it one of the brightest screens on any phone, foldable or could make the Vivo X Fold 5 more interesting in India is its expected pricing. Since it carries the same processor as last year, Vivo might go for a more aggressive price this time. In China, the phone starts at CNY 6,999, which roughly converts to Rs 83,400 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB storage variant. It remains to be seen what Vivo sets as the Indian price, but chances are it could be more competitive than previous foldables from the for the Vivo X200 FE, this one is likely to come with a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. The design will be sleek too, with the phone expected to measure just 7.99mm in thickness.

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.
