Vevo’s Big Move in 2025: New Phones, New Tales
What was the last phone launch that made you do a double-take? Well, Vivo just managed that feat twice.
The two phones that the company has launched in India are the mid-range flagship killer, the Vivo X200 FE 5G, and its most polished foldable yet, the highly anticipated Vivo X Fold 5. But this is the interesting part – how does the X Fold 5 measure up against Samsung’s monster phone, the Galaxy Z Fold 7?
Let us take you through the tale, not just the specs.
📱 Vivo X200 FE 5G: Your New Tech Without Breaking the Bank

Consider the X200 FE 5G as that friend who never lets you down — dependable, fashionable, and — somewhat surprisingly — intelligent. It punches well above its weight with a buttery-smooth AMOLED screen and a flagship-grade camera.
Whether you’re binge-watching the latest season of Mirzapur or doom-scrolling on Instagram, the X200 FE 5G can keep up with your pace — and without shaving through your wallet or battery.

Use It In Real Life: One Week With Vivo X Fold 5
Let’s think experience, not just features.
I lived with the Vivo X Fold 5 for a week. Day one, I logged on to a Zoom meeting on the top half and read notes on the bottom half. I spent day three editing videos with CapCut (an app on the device) with the huge inner screen. Day six? I took night cityscapes — and the shots were as good as my DSLR.
And so did the Fold 5 I was able to fit the Fold 5 not only into my feel, it also well in my feel. It made life smoother.
