The next Fan Edition smartphone is not coming from Samsung

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 devices.

Vivo 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.
