A reader from Poland contacted us with an interesting observation – vivo Poland has been busy promoting the V50 and V50 Lite on Facebook, but it has been dropping hints that an even more interesting launch may be around the corner. Krzysztof Pl asked about the vivo X200 Pro mini and vivo responded (machine translated): “We have no information about the availability of these models in Poland, but there will be something for Pro Mini fans soon”.
A similar response when inquired about the X200 Pro mini and S30 Pro mini reads: “For fans of these models we have some interesting information… we will talk about it in a few weeks”.
Is it a coincidence that this is happening just as vivo announced the launch date for the X200 FE? The vivo X200 Pro mini, S30 Pro and X200 FE are fairly similar – they combine a small 6.31” LTPO display with a flagship Dimensity chipset and feature a 50MP periscope.
There are differences, of course, e.g. the X200 Pro mini has a large 1/1.28” sensor in the main camera, while the S30 Pro mini has a smaller 1/1.56” sensor. The X200 FE is rumored to be a variant of the S30 Pro mini and it should have the same sensor (a Sony IMX921) in its main camera.
The vivo X200 FE will launch on June 23 (Monday) and it looks like Taiwan and Malaysia will be among the first markets to get it. If a European launch is happening as the admin of the vivo Poland Facebook page is suggesting, it may come a bit later (“in a few weeks”).
The vivo X200 FE has a “6.31-inch Zeiss Color Master display”
A quick look at the vivo Poland homepage shows that vivo has been selling X Pro models going back to the X60 Pro. This will be vivo’s first “FE” model, but we’d be glad to see a wider availability of a premium mini – especially after OnePlus declined to bring the 13T/13s to more markets.
Thanks to our reader for sending this in!
