Vivo X200 FE vs OnePlus 13s comparison: Vivo and OnePlus have entered the compact flagship race with two power-packed devices — the Vivo X200 FE and the OnePlus 13s. Both smartphones aim to offer a high-end experience without the bulk, combining top-tier hardware with refined designs. But which one delivers more value at the same price point? Here's a detailed comparison to help you decide.

Vivo X200 FE vs OnePlus 13s: Design and Display
Both smartphones embrace a compact design, but the Vivo X200 FE is visibly slimmer at 7.9 mm, compared to the 8.2 mm thickness of the OnePlus 13s. In terms of weight, the difference is negligible — just 1 gram between them.

For durability, Vivo offers Gorilla Shield Glass protection with a superior IP68/69 rating, while OnePlus uses Ceramic Guard and carries an IP65 rating, offering slightly lower water resistance.

The Vivo X200 FE features a 6.31-inch flexible AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an impressive 5000 nits peak brightness. In contrast, the OnePlus 13s sports a 6.32-inch ProXDR AMOLED panel with the same refresh rate but a lower 1600 nits peak brightness.

Camera Comparison: Ultra-Wide vs Dual Lens 
The Vivo X200 FE houses a triple camera setup comprising a 50MP primary sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, and an 8MP ultra-wide sensor. The OnePlus 13s uses a dual camera configuration, featuring a 50MP main sensor and a 50MP telephoto lens, but lacks an ultra-wide option.

For selfies, the Vivo leads again with a 50MP front-facing camera, while the OnePlus 13s is equipped with a 32MP selfie shooter.

Performance and Battery
Under the hood, the Vivo X200 FE runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 9300+, paired with up to 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. The OnePlus 13s uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, matched with 12GB RAM and the same storage cap.

Battery performance favours Vivo, thanks to its 6500 mAh capacity and 90W fast charging. The OnePlus 13s comes with a 5850 mAh battery and 80W fast charging. If longevity is a priority, the X200 FE is likely to edge ahead.

Pricing in India
Both the Vivo X200 FE and the OnePlus 13s are priced at Rs. 54,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant. However, Vivo also offers a 16GB + 512GB model at Rs. 59,999, while the OnePlus 13s does not provide a 16GB RAM option at launch, offering only 12GB across its lineup.
