Apple Killed the Mini …but Vivo Brought it Back? - Vivo X200 Pro Mini

[@C4ETech]

Hey guys what do you think about the X200 Pro Mini? Edit: to those asking if the battery is Li-Ion or SiC? I bought the phone, it's not a review unit... meaning I don't have a vivo contact to confirm anything... vivo's official website says Li-ion - here's the link, check the specs - www.vivo.com.cn/vivo/param/x200promini

hmph, i'm in loooooove, compact phones are my favourite

[@Edwinv90]

It’s still a big phone, so I wouldn’t call it a “mini.” It’s simply a device with dimensions that are fairly standard nowadays. Personally, I’ve been using the iPhone mini because it truly is compact. I also enjoyed using the Samsung S7 in the past because it was a small phone with a great screen and had a premium feel in hand.

[@donfanto1]

Calling a 150mm tall phone mini is just absurd. In terms of comfort of use my s10e was the best phone ever. Sweetspot between being a one-handed phone and not needing a magnifying glass to see what was going on on the screen.

I wish samsung and google had hardware as good as this on their compact flagship phones

[@roshinparameswaran4817]

iPhone mini hsd 5.4in screen. Vivo x200 mini has a 6.3in screen, its actually larger than iPhone 15's 6.1in screen. Vivo has the name mini in only in its name. Its a size of compact size flagship. Already Apple, Google, Xiaomi and Samsung has them.

[@Cartoon-Vdos]

Hey, Mr. Aswin. I have been using a 6.3 from past 5 years and believe me it's not handy it's a big screen phone. For me a compact size would be 5.8 inch display.

[@Beyllion]

It depends on the body size, not the screen size. If you're phone is 5 years old then it probably has big bezels which make the phone less practical to use. Phones without bezels are much smaller despite having the same screen size. The aspect ratio also plays a role. 16:9 phones are much wider and harder to use than 20:9 phones.

Google had their greatest camera layout and might stay forever. Just imagine google using those camera sensors. Very excited
