Vivo and OnePlus are the latest to dive into the growing compact flagship segment, and both are going out. The Vivo X200 Fe has just been launched, while OnePlus 13S is around for a month. The price of both phones is similar, offer top level performance, and come with smooth, pocket-friendly design. They also support the latest AI tools, including Google’s Gemini accessory and a group of other smart features for notes, editing and more. But if you are wondering which better value gives overall, then here is a full side-by-side breakdown to help you decide.

Design and construction

Both Vivo X200 Fe and OnePlus 13s produce a solid glass and metal. Vivo X200 Fe is 7.9 mm thick and weighs 186 grams. It receives a better IP68/IP69 rating for gorilla shield glass and dust and water resistance for protection. The OnePlus is slightly thick at 13S 8.2 mm, but less than 185 grams is less. It uses ceramic guard protection and has an IP65 rating. Therefore, in terms of security and collapse, Vivo gets a slight edge. Vivo X200 Fe comes in three colors – Amber Yellow, Lux Gray and Frost Blue. OnePlus 13S also comes in three colors – green silk, black velvet and pink satin.

Display

There is barely a difference here in the context of size or resolution. The Vivo X200 Fe has a 6.31 -inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 1216 x 2640 pixels. OnePlus 13s offers a 6.32 -inch AMOLED panel with the same resolution. Both support 120Hz refresh rates. Vivo stood in brightness with the support of 1,800 NITS in HBM, while OnePlus hits 1600 NITs in HBM mode. So if you are mostly outside or love a super-bright display, Vivo is a slightly better pick.

Display

OnePlus 13S has a new and more powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite Chip, while the Vivo X200 Fe is operated by MediaTek Demitive 9300 Plus. Both are very capable, but Snapdragon has an increase in gaming and overall efficiency. So if the performance is your priority, the OnePlus draws forward here. In terms of RAM and storage, both phones offer 12GB + 256GB and high-end variants with 512GB. Vivo provides 16GB of RAM with 512GB, while OnePlus clings to 12GB.

software

Vivo runs Funtouch OS 15 at the top of Android 15 and promises three years of the main OS update. OnePlus Oxygenos runs 15, also on Android 15, and provides the main OS update of four years. Both phones have Gemini AI assistants of Google and support a series of AI-operated equipment such as transcription, photo editing and summary. OnePlus, however, has integrated these characteristics more deeply and originally, causing the experience to be slightly more polished.

Battery and charging

This is where the Vivo X200 Fe Crowns. It packs a 6,500mAh battery on a large scale with 90W wired charging. This is a large battery and rapid top-up time. OnePlus 13S has a 5,850mAh battery and 80W wired charging. Either way is not slow, but if the battery life is your concern, Vivo clearly provides more juice.

Quarrel

The Vivo X200 Fe provides a triple-camera setup with a 50-megapixel main sensor, 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens and 8-megapixel ultra-wide. OnePlus 13S 50-megapixel mains things with the main and 50-megapixel telephoto, but no ultra-wide. For selfie, Vivo uses a 50-megapixel front camera, while OnePlus provides 32 megapixels. Vivo clearly gives more variety in rear cameras and a high-resolution selfie snapper.

price

Both Vivo X200 Fe and OnePlus 13S 12GB + 256GB start starting at Rs 54,999. Vivo’s 16GB + 512GB variant is Rs 59,999, while OnePlus is the same for its 12GB + 512GB version. Right now, there are launch offers that are reducing the price of Vivo by Rs 48,999 and Rs 53,999 respectively, and OnePlus is offering a discount of Rs 5,000, so their concessional prices are Rs 49,999 and Rs 54,999.

Penetration

If you want strong performance, better long -term software support and a cleaner AI experience, OnePlus 13S is the way to go. But if you like a large battery, bright screen, more camera options and even better durability, Vivo X200 Fe brings excellent value. Both phones are solid pics in compact flagship category – it really depends on what more matters to you.
