Vivo X200 vs iQOO 13 vs OnePlus 13: Battle of best camera phones | Mint

Vivo launched the latest iteration in its camera-focused X series lineup on Thursday with the unveiling of Vivo X200 and X200 Pro. After initially launching in China, the two new smartphones will now be available to buy in India along with other global markets. While the X200 Pro with a hefty price tag of ₹94,999 will remain out of reach for many people, the X200 with many of the same features and Zeiss branding for the cameras is priced competitively at ₹65,999. At this price, it will surely give the recently launched iQOO 13 and the upcoming OnePlus 13 a run for their money. Here’s how the 3 phones compare in terms of specifications, price and more. 

Vivo X200 vs iQOO 13 vs OnePlus 13: Price compared

Vivo X200 is priced at ₹65,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage variant and ₹71,999 for the 16GB RAM/512GB storage model. 

Meanwhile, the iQOO 13 is priced at ₹54,999 for the 12GB RAM/256GB storage variant and ₹59,999 for the 16GB RAM/512GB storage model. 

OnePlus 13, on the other hand, has been confirmed to debut in India in January 2025, but there are still no guarantees on pricing. Considering that the OnePlus 12 launched this year started at ₹64,999, the OnePlus 13 should be around the same range, with a slight increase expected due to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
