EDITORIAL: Vivo brought minor updates to it's first compact flagship, X200 FE and this one too is very easy to like. It is a excellent all-rounder providing great performance, a day and a half endurance, wonderful screen, some excellent photos and offering a great stabile and attractive software experience. It doesn't excel at anything but does everything well and in the small world of compacts, this means a lot.

PROs
flagship build, fast SD 8 Gen 5 with UFS 4.0 performance, 36hr endurance from a 6500mAh Si-C battery with sub-50min 90W (40W wireless) charging, >1700nits 460ppi 120Hz LTPO AMOLED screen with HDR10+, IP69 protection, ZEISS lenses 50MP 23mm OIS PDAF main + 50MP 73mm OIS PDAF telephoto + 8MP 15mm setup with very good all around performance, excellent 50MP 20mm PDAF selfie, up to 5 years of OS updates
CONs
no AF on 8MP ultrawide, average video recording, no expandable memory, AI features lag behind the best, no desktop replacement (tho it does ofer screen mirroring), slow USB-C 2.0 (there is OTG)

FLY* TOP Software

EDITORIAL: Featuring Xiaomi's own processor, the 15S Pro marks a beginning of a new era. Unlike Huawei's Kirin chips, the new XRing 01 is a proper 3nm top-of-the-line processor that should compete head on with SD 8 Elite and Mediatec's top Dimensity 9400. Xiaomi wants to impress: all-day battery, excellent screen, powerful cameras, even the Display Port is there.

PROs
expect fast performance with UFS 4.1 memory, >30hr endurance from a 6100mAh Si battery with sub-60min 90W (50W wireless) charging, >1300 >520ppi LTPO AMOLED with Dolby Vision screen, IP68 protection, reliable 50MP 23mm main + 50MP 120mm periscope telephoto (both OIS PDAF)+ 50MP 14mm AF ultrawide setup, average 32MP 22mm (non AF) selfie, okay video recording, 4 years of OS updates and fast USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port with DisplayPort and OTG
CONs
no AF on selfie, no expandable memory or desktop replacement functionality
