Vivo X200 FE vs OnePlus 13S vs Oppo Reno 14 Pro: Who’s the real MVP?

If you're shopping for a killer Android phone right now, you've probably seen these names everywhere—Vivo X200 FE, OnePlus 13S, and the Oppo Reno 14 Pro. All three are flashy, all three promise flagship-level power, and all three are priced to tempt you hard. But which one’s actually worth your money?

Vivo X200 FE vs OnePlus 13S vs Oppo Reno 14 Pro: Side-by-Side Comparison

I’ve been testing them side-by-side- gaming, clicking, streaming, stressing them out—and I’ve got some clear answers. From raw performance to camera versatility to design quirks, this isn’t just a spec-sheet battle. It's a full-on showdown to see which phone truly delivers in day-to-day life. Let’s get into it.

Performance Insights: Speed isn’t Everything

Processor: These phones couldn’t be more different under the hood. The Vivo X200 FE runs on the Dimensity 9300+, the Oppo Reno 14 Pro uses the Dimensity 8450, and the OnePlus 13S rocks the Snapdragon 8 Elite. You’d think the OnePlus would just crush the others in benchmarks, and guess what? It did.

Antutu Score: On Antutu, the OnePlus 13S hit a massive 2.4 million, leaving the Vivo at 1.9 million and the Reno 14 Pro at 1.6 million. So, in terms of raw performance, OnePlus is winning big time.

Thermals: But, plot twist: the Vivo X200 FE gets really warm, spiking 16.5 degrees Celsius during the test. Not ideal, especially if you're into intense gaming or long sessions. So, the Vivo definitely needs better cooling or optimisation if you want to push it to its limits.

3DMark WildLife Extreme test: Here, OnePlus dominated once again with the best scores and a solid 69.6% stability. Oppo was close at 68.7%, but Vivo lagged behind with a lower 53.6%, throttling significantly under heavy load. Stability is key, and OnePlus has it down.

CPU Throttle Test: Then came the CPU throttle test, which was kind of a curveball. OnePlus maintained the best stability at 76%, but the Vivo actually delivered the highest scores overall, even though it was less stable. Oppo hovered around 67% stability, pretty much in the middle of the pack.

Gaming Performance: BGMI @ High FPS

How does all this translate to gaming? That’s the real question. Both the OnePlus 13S and Vivo X200 FE support 90fps gaming, but OnePlus takes it a step further with some clever software that optimises gameplay. In a quick 10-minute match of BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India), OnePlus averaged 120.5fps and maxed out at 121fps. Gameplay was super smooth, and it only heated up to 36.8 degrees, which is solid for long gaming sessions.

The Vivo X200 FE, though not too far behind, averaged 89.2fps and had 5% lows at around 86.6fps. It’s smooth, but it does run a bit hotter, reaching 40 degrees. Still, if you're a hardcore gamer, OnePlus is your best bet for top-tier performance.

The Oppo Reno 14 Pro, while capped at 60fps, still delivered a stable 59.5fps average, keeping its temps at a chill 36.4 degrees. It might not be the fastest, but it’s reliable and won't overheat on you, so if you're more about consistency than raw speed, this one’s for you.

Camera Comparisons

Vivo X200 FE Camera: Each of these phones comes with some impressive specs. The Vivo X200 FE has a triple camera setup: a 50MP main sensor with OIS (optical image stabilization), a 50MP 3X periscope telephoto (also with OIS), and an 8MP ultrawide.

OnePlus 13S Camera: The OnePlus keeps it a bit simpler with a 50MP main sensor, a 50MP 2X telephoto lens, and a 32MP selfie cam.

Oppo Reno 14 Pro Camera: Then, we have the Reno 14 Pro, which goes full beast mode with three 50MP sensors- main, ultrawide, and a 3.5X telephoto lens. Even the selfie cam is a 50MP!

Now, I was a huge fan of the Vivo X200 Pro, so I had high hopes for the 200 FE. Out of the three, I was pretty impressed by the Vivo X200 FE.

Daylight shots from all three phones are good, but Vivo’s photos have this pop and contrast that make them stand out.

Oppo’s shots are more natural, while OnePlus hits the sweet spot in between. But when it comes to shadow detail, Vivo pulls ahead.

Night Mode: At night, Vivo keeps colours the most natural, while OnePlus can get a bit overexposed, and Oppo keeps it pretty steady.

The OnePlus camera lacks an ultrawide lens, which is a big drawback. Between the Vivo and Oppo, Vivo wins here too- the Oppo tends to struggle with flare and softness around the edges.

For portraits, OnePlus does a decent job with creamy bokeh, but the edge detection isn’t amazing. Vivo and Oppo do better in this department, with natural skin tones and more pleasing bokeh effects.

For video, all three can shoot 4K at 60fps, but Vivo’s the king of low-light video. OnePlus and Oppo tend to boost colors too much, while Vivo keeps it true to life.

Selfies? Vivo nails color accuracy, while Oppo and OnePlus go for punchier tones. So if you're into selfies, Vivo’s got you covered.

In terms of simplicity, the Reno 14 Pro is perfect for people who want to just point and shoot with little fuss. If you want more control, creative options (like Zeiss filters and Aura lighting), and generally more camera features, the Vivo X200 FE is the one. OnePlus doesn’t have as many options, but its main camera does hold its own.

Design & Build

Design: In terms of design, both the OnePlus 13S and Vivo X200 FE are compact with glass backs and aluminum frames, but the OnePlus feels a bit more premium thanks to its soft, velvety finish.

IP Rating: However, its IP rating for dust and water resistance is the weakest among the three. If you want a larger screen and better durability, the Oppo Reno 14 Pro is the way to go. Plus, it has better dust and water resistance than the others, which is a big plus for clumsy people (like me!).

Battery & Charging

Vivo leads here with a 6,500mAh battery and 90W charging, lasting a day and a half easily, in spite of being the smallest in size. But, the Oppo Reno 14 Pro is the only one that supports wireless charging (50W), while the other two don't offer that feature. If you’re big on wireless charging, that’s a nice perk for the Reno.

Software & Updates

OnePlus and Oppo take the lead with OxygenOS 15 and ColorOS 15, which are cleaner and smoother than Vivo’s FunTouch OS.

OnePlus also offers the best update policy: 4 years of major Android updates and 6 years of security patches.

Vivo offers a solid 4+5 years, while Oppo lags a bit behind with 3+4 years, though that info is a bit unclear.

Pricing

The Vivo X200 FE is priced at ₹ 54,999, while the OPPO Reno 14 Pro comes in at a slightly lower starting price of ₹ 49,999. The OnePlus 13s also starts at ₹ 54,999, matching the X200 FE in pricing.

Vivo X200 FE vs OnePlus 13s vs Oppo Reno 14 Pro: Final Verdict

It’s tough to pick between these three. If you're all about gaming, the OnePlus 13S is your best bet, though Vivo isn’t far behind. When it comes to cameras, Vivo’s X200 FE definitely has the most versatile setup, especially for low-light and portrait shots. Oppo’s Reno 14 Pro is solid, but its camera setup doesn’t quite compare to Vivo’s.

Overall, I think the Vivo X200 FE comes out on top. It offers a great balance between performance and camera quality, making it the most well-rounded choice for most people. Whether you’re into gaming, photography, or just want a phone that does it all, the Vivo X200 FE is hard to beat.
