Weekly poll: are you interested in the vivo X200 FE?

Tiny flagships with mighty cameras – are smartphone makers finally giving the people what they want? The vivo X200 FE is not as capable as the X200 Pro mini, but at least it will be widely available – which is more than can be said of the OnePlus 13T.

If Huawei was still using Google-connected Android, this could have been one of the best selling premium phones of the year. It’s not just Google Play access, though.
