The Chinese flagship market is probably going to boom in the coming months. While the Xiaomi 15 series is already there to spark our excitement, we now have another Vivo X200 flagship series coming up as well. But more importantly, another niche that will bloom is the compact smartphone market. This field is already limited as we do not have a lot of options here. This is going to be changed very soon.
Xiaomi 15 will also be a compact smartphone and its only predicted contender is the Samsung Galaxy S26. But apparently, Vivo is working on a compact smartphone as well. The upcoming Vivo X200 Mini will target the audience who loves compact devices and some of its key specifications have been leaked.
Vivo X200 Mini; a new compact smartphone in the series!
This “Mini” sub-section is going to be a new addition to the flagship Vivo X series. The upcoming Vivo X200 Mini is going to be the first “Mini” device in the lineup. Per the rumours, the device will be compact with a display size of around 6.3 inches. This is definitely going to be one of the compact Vivo smartphones we have seen recently.

But apart from the compact form factor, it will get some really interesting hardware. Vivo’s new device will use the MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chipset instead of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC. The decision was likely made to keep the price competitive, which is a good choice.
Despite its smaller size, the Vivo X200 Mini is going to present a 5500mAh battery along with the support of wired fast charging and wireless charging. The exact charging speed of the device remains unknown. Coming down to the cameras, not much has been revealed, but it will have a 70-mm periscope telephoto lens along with the Vivo’s V4 Imaging chipset.
It’s good to see Vivo entering the compact smartphone market
As told earlier, the compact smartphone market to date has been very limited. The only wide available option was from Xiaomi, Samsung or maybe Apple. And because of the limited choices, the users do not get to explore much. But given that Vivo is also entering into the segment with its upcoming Vivo X200 Mini, the competition will definitely increase. And this is a very good step for the consumers.
The rumoured specs of the device hint at strong hardware. Let’s wait a bit longer to obtain some other important information.
