Compact flagship vivo X200 FE to land in Philippines


The vivo X200 FE is officially landing in the Philippines on July 18, bringing with it a powerful new take on the flagship experience - compact in size, bold in style, and designed to keep up with your everyday rhythm.

Built for a new generation of self-starters, creators, and go-getters, the vivo X200 FE delivers high-end features in a sleek and portable form factor. It’s the smartphone that proves you don’t have to go big to go far.

Compact size, maximum impact

One look and you’ll know the vivo X200 FE isn’t your average smartphone. It features a 6.31-inch flat screen, a slim 7.99mm profile, 71.76mm width, and weighs only 186g, perfectly built for one-handed use.

Inside, precision-stacked components give the phone a 1:1 balanced weight distribution, ensuring it feels just right in your hand. Even its minimalist rear camera design takes up only 9% of the back, keeping the look clean and the grip seamless.

Inspired by the modern “squircle” shape, a harmony of square and circle, the phone blends strength with softness, giving it a refined and confident feel. The Rhythm Eye camera design adds a subtle visual signature while enhancing comfort during use.

Finished with Metallic Sand Anti-Glare coating, the texture is about 40% smoother than traditional AG surfaces, delivering a tactile experience that feels as premium as it looks.

Bold colors that reflect you

Available in Blue Breeze and Black Luxe, the vivo X200 FE offers two stylish options to express your personality.

Blue Breeze captures clarity, creativity, and calm, making it perfect for those with a free-spirited edge. Black Luxe, on the other hand, radiates timeless elegance and quiet strength that is made for professionals and minimalists alike.

Built to go wherever life takes you

Despite its delicate frame, the vivo X200 FE is tougher than it looks. With a structural frame made from aerospace-grade aluminum, it offers superior drop resistance while maintaining a lightweight feel.

It’s also IP68 and IP69 certified for dust and water resistance, meaning it can handle everyday spills, sudden rain, and rugged conditions with ease. Add in SGS Triple Protection Certification and Military-grade durability, and you’ve got a compact device ready for big adventures.


While most flagships are powerful but heavy, vivo answers today’s demand for lighter, more flexible lifestyles with a device that’s easy to carry with one hand, yet powerful in every way.

Mark your calendars! This compact powerhouse officially lands in the Philippines on July 18, 2025. Stay tuned on vivo Philippines' website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X to be updated on the launch of the most-awaited X200 FE.

HUAWEI and RUNRIO Rally Runners to Embrace Smarter, Healthier Lifestyles with ‘Active Rings: Enjoy Your Moment’ Community Run at SM MOA


HUAWEI continues to empower smart fitness as it hosted a community run event with running events organizer RUNRIO. Held last June 28 at the monumental SM Mall of Asia Complex, the community run event was part of HUAWEI’s ‘Active Rings: Enjoy Your Moment’ initiative.

Enjoy the Moment from Start to Finish Line

The event gathered participants from the HUAWEI Wearable community and other run club members, who embraced a morning of movement and motivation during the community run. The community run in Manila is part of HUAWEI’s ‘Active Rings: Enjoy the Moment’ initiative, which seeks to encourage communities to live healthier and more active lives. The Manila event was the latest in its lineup of global fitness events in different cities across the globe.

For many, the initiative’s message resonated beyond physical activity. Lara Beriña, engineer and avid runner commended the initiative, saying, “‘Active Rings’ is such a smart and timely campaign. As an engineer, I’m obsessed with numbers and metrics, but this reminded me to be present and enjoy the journey.” She added, “It wasn’t just about hitting goals—it was about celebrating the effort, the community, and the joy of movement.”

Throughout the run, participants worked toward achieving their goals and closing each activity ring on the HUAWEI wearable devices. According to regular runner Addy Alajar, this made the run more fun and challenging. He claimed, “I’m a visual person, so seeing my progress like that keeps me going. It’s a simple but really motivating way to stay on track and know exactly what I still need to do.” By the time they reached the finish line, most runners were able to close each of their activity rings, which added a sense of accomplishment to their experience.

Once the participants have cooled down, the top three fastest male and female finishers. For the women’s category, Arielle Chantal Guado won first place with a recorded time of 24 minutes and 31 seconds. Trisha Cruz came in second, finishing her run in 26 minutes and 19 seconds. Close behind her in third was Hannah Dacanay who finished at 27 minutes and 40 seconds.

Francis Geoffrey Ramos Parreñas was the top finisher for the men’s category with a recorded time of 21 minutes and 32 seconds. With only a 13-second difference at 21 minutes and 45 seconds, John Mark Calves came in second. And, only 9 seconds behind was Josh Campos at 21 minutes and 53 seconds.

The first place finishers for both categories took home a HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro, while the second place finishers were awarded with a HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4. Third place finishers received a HUAWEI FreeArc.

Smarter Run with HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series

During the event, runners were able to take HUAWEI’s latest wearable innovations, including the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series, out for a spin. “I’ve always been a classic watch kind of person. Wearing the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Pro for the first time completely changed how I ran.” said Lara Beriña.

Many runners praised the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series for its fashionable design and its smart, intuitive features. Designed to look as good as it feels, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series remains true to its fashion-forward identity with a slim, lightweight design and easily customizable watch face and strap options.

Beriña also shared how the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series made a difference in their performance, thanks to its comprehensive fitness features. She said, “It helped me stay focused, track my progress, and push myself more than I normally would. It truly felt like I had a personal coach on my wrist.” After their run, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series offered post-run insights through the HUAWEI Health app.
Nichole Mercado with the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4

Certified holistic health coach, sports nutrition expert, and running enthusiast Nichole Mercado found the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series’ heart rate tracking to be helpful during her run. “I love that it would give me reminders if my heart rate was spiking a little too high,” she said of the feature. “Sometimes when you’re running, you feel strong and just keep pushing yourself. But if you have a strategy in mind, being reminded of your heart rate is so important in optimizing your effort.”

DJ Chacha wearing the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4

“As runners, we often strain our necks (from) constantly checking our stats,” said radio DJ and dedicated runner DJ Chacha, who found the crystal-clear audio updates from the watch a highlight feature. She also said, “The health monitoring and sports tracking features boosted my performance. It’s encouraging when the watch tells you your stress level has improved while running. My previous smartwatch didn’t have this kind of feedback.”

Ramon Bautista wearing the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4

Along with health and wellness tracking as well as over 100 sport modes, the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series boasts a powerful 10-day battery life. Comedian, Youtuber, and frequent runner Ramon Bautista commended the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series’ performance, saying, “It performed flawlessly. It will be a great companion for those who just want to enjoy running like me and for advanced users as well. It has comprehensive data displays for anyone (who wants) to achieve their fitness goals or target time.”

Men’s category third placer and seasoned marathoner Josh Campos raved about his experience wearing the smartwatch. On whether he would wear the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series on his future runs, Campos said, “I would love (for) HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 to be part of my marathon training every time I run.”

Achieve Your Goals, One Ring at a Time with 
HUAWEI Wearables

With wearable innovations like the HUAWEI WATCH FIT 4 Series and other HUAWEI wearables, HUAWEI continues to push the boundaries of innovation to redefine what it means to live an active lifestyle.
