Vivo has officially launched its flagship X300 series globally. This marks the first time Vivo is bringing its China-only software, OriginOS, to international markets. The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro come with almost the same specs as their Chinese versions, except for smaller batteries. However, the global prices are slightly higher. Vivo has also introduced a Zeiss 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit that works only with the Pro model. With this launch, Vivo continues to show its strong focus on photography and camera innovation.
Design and Display
The Vivo X300 series carries Vivo’s familiar design language but with a more refined look. The phones feature a circular rear camera setup with smoother edges and thinner bezels. The matte finish gives a premium feel and helps avoid fingerprints.
The regular X300 has a 6.31-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED display, which makes it a compact flagship phone. The X300 Pro, on the other hand, comes with a larger 6.82-inch screen. Both models offer a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate for smooth scrolling and better power control. Vivo also replaced the optical fingerprint sensor with an ultrasonic one, offering faster and more accurate unlocking.
| Model | Display Size | Display Type | Refresh Rate | Fingerprint Sensor |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vivo X300 | 6.31-inch AMOLED | LTPO 8T | 120Hz adaptive | Ultrasonic |
| Vivo X300 Pro | 6.82-inch AMOLED | LTPO 8T | 120Hz adaptive | Ultrasonic |
Camera and Photography
Vivo is known for its camera performance, and the X300 series proves it again. The Vivo X300 features a 200MP Samsung HPB main camera, a 50MP Sony LYT-602 telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. Meanwhile, the X300 Pro switches things up. It uses a 50MP Sony LYT-828 main sensor, a 200MP HPB telephoto lens, and a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultrawide sensor.
Both models have a 50MP JN1 front camera for selfies and video calls. These cameras are built to deliver clear photos, strong zoom quality, and great low-light shots. Vivo has focused on improving color accuracy and image processing, aiming to compete with rivals like OPPO’s Find X9 Pro, which uses Hasselblad technology.
Performance and Processor
Under the hood, both the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro run on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip. This powerful processor is built to compete with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, offering strong AI performance and energy efficiency. This means smoother gaming, faster app loading, and better power control.
The X300 series will compete directly with flagship phones like the OnePlus 15, iQOO 15, Xiaomi 17, Realme GT8, and OPPO Find X9. All these phones focus on top-tier performance and camera innovation.
Battery and Charging
The global models of the X300 series come with slightly smaller batteries compared to their Chinese versions. The X300 has a 5,360mAh battery, while the X300 Pro packs a 5,440mAh one. In China, these phones had larger 6,000mAh+ silicon-carbon batteries, but the change is due to certification differences in other regions.
Both phones support 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, allowing you to charge up quickly. While they might not last as long as OPPO’s new Find X9 with its 7,000mAh+ battery, the charging speeds make up for it.
Software and Features
A major highlight of the global launch is the introduction of OriginOS 6, based on Android 16. This software is smoother and simpler than Funtouch OS, which was known for heavy animations and bloatware. OriginOS 6 brings minimalism, faster performance, and more customization. Vivo also promises five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches, matching Samsung and Google’s flagship support cycles.
This shows Vivo’s growing focus on long-term user experience, not just hardware power. With cleaner visuals, better multitasking, and smart personalization options, OriginOS 6 offers a modern and balanced Android experience.
Price and Availability
The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro come at premium prices. The Vivo X300 starts at EUR 1,049 (about Rs 1.07 lakh) for the 12GB/256GB version and goes up to EUR 1,099 (about Rs 1.13 lakh) for 16GB/512GB. The Vivo X300 Pro costs EUR 1,399 (about Rs 1.43 lakh) for its 16GB/512GB variant.
To make the deal better, Vivo is offering a EUR 100 discount, a free charger, and a telephoto extender kit at half price. The extender usually costs around EUR 600 (Rs 62,000).
