INTRODUCTION The Vivo X300 Pro is one of the latest flagship smartphones from Vivo (launched October 2025), targeted at users who demand top-tier camera capabilities, high performance and premium build. It serves as the upper-end model in the X300 series .
Design, build & aesthetics
- The X300 Pro uses a premium build: metal frame + glass back (you’ll find references to “ArmorShell (Front) / Glass (Back) / Metal Frame (Side)” in spec sheets)
- It is rated IP68 (and reportedly also IP69 in some mentions) for dust & water resistance.
- Dimensions: 161.98 × 75.48 × 7.99 mm and weight about 226 g.
- The thickness under 8 mm is good for a phone with big camera hardware; weight 226 g is on the heavier side but expected given premium glass + camera module.
Display & multimedia
- The X300 Pro features a 6.78-inch flat BOE Q10+ LTPO OLED display, resolution 2800×1260 (1.5K), refresh rate up to 120Hz
- Touch sampling rate up to 300Hz per one spec listing.
- It supports 1.07 billion colours, P3 colour gamut, HDR (HDR10+ / Dolby Vision depending on region).
- Screen-to-body ratio ~94.85% (one spec list) indicating slim bezels.
- Peak brightness figures vary in sources; one mention “4500 nit peak brightness” for the display.
Display experience
- A 120Hz LTPO panel means the refresh rate can adjust dynamically (helping battery).
- High touch sampling (300 Hz) is advantageous for gaming or fast UI interactions.
- The 1.5K resolution (rather than full 4K) is a good balance: sharp, but less drain than higher resolution.
- The flat panel (rather than curved) may reduce accidental touches and offers simpler protection (screen protectors/tempered glass).
- The large size (6.78″) and high quality make it great for video streaming, gaming, reading etc.
Performance & hardware
- Chipset: MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (3 nm process).
- RAM: Up to 16 GB LPDDR5X (also 12 GB variants).
- Storage: UFS 4.1 up to 1 TB (256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB options).
- Non-expandable (no microSD mention). One spec site lists “no expandable”.
Real-world performance
- According to PhoneArena benchmarks: Geekbench6 single 3264, multi ~9489.
- Gaming, multitasking, high resolution video editing should all be very smooth given the specs.
- The high-end RAM + storage mean future-proofing is decent.
Camera system & imaging
This is arguably the major selling point of the X300 Pro, so I’ll break this out in detail.
Rear camera specs
- Main camera: 50 MP (Sony LYT-828) with OIS.
- Ultra-wide: 50 MP (Samsung JN1) lens.
- Periscope telephoto: 200 MP (Samsung HPB sensor) with OIS, up to 100× digital zoom in some descriptions.
- Front camera: 50 MP.
- Additional imaging chips: V3+ imaging chip (for post-processing) and Vs1 imaging chip (pre-processing) on Pro version.
- Lens are co-engineered with Zeiss.
Camera features & extras
- The periscope zoom module supports significant optical zoom (reportedly 3.5× optical equivalent) with digital zoom further.
- The pairing of high-MP sensors + Zeiss lens/coating suggests focus on image quality, low light, and versatility.
- Video capabilities: up to 8K recording (in some spec lists) with the rear cameras.
- Support for a 2.35× telephoto teleconverter accessory on the Pro version.
Battery life & charging
- Battery capacity: 6,510 mAh in Chinese version.
- Wired fast charging: 90 W.
- Wireless charging: 40 W.
- Reverse charging also mentioned in some sources.
Expected real-world performance
- With a large battery + 3 nm chipset + efficient display, battery life should be good. However, heavy usage (camera zooming, gaming, high refresh rate) will drain faster.
- According to PhoneArena battery test: they observed ~6 h 30 min of “general usage” (their test) for this phone.
- User feedback:
90W wired charging is fast: likely ~0-100% in ~30–40 minutes (depending region/cable).
40W wireless is solid for flagship wireless charging.
Inclusion of reverse charging is a plus (useful for earbuds, accessories).
Large battery + good charging = strong for heavy users/travelers.
Connectivity & additional features
- 5G support: yes. Although exact bands will depend on region.
- Wi-Fi 7 support mentioned in spec lists.
- Bluetooth 5.4.
- NFC support.
- USB-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 1) – useful for fast data transfer.
- Infrared port.
- X-axis linear motor (good for haptics).
Additional features
- IP68 (and possibly IP69) rating for water/dust resistance.
- Ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.
- Telephoto accessory compatibility (Zeiss teleconverter) adds expandability.
- Dual-speaker system for stereo sound.
Price & availability (India / global)
Chinese launch price
- X300 Pro starts at CNY 5,299 (~Rs 65,900) for 12 GB + 256 GB.
- Higher variants (16 GB+512 GB, 16 GB+1 TB) up to CNY 6,699 (~Rs 83,300) or more.
India / global market
- India prices yet to be officially announced (as of the data I found). One article notes: “Vivo has not revealed India prices for the X300 and X300 Pro. The X200 was launched at Rs 65,999… the X300 Pro may have a similar starting price to the X200 Pro which was launched at Rs 94,999 in India.”
- On Reddit: “Global version … should be launching early next month … seller says 16 GB/512 GB ~ HKD 9800-10000 (~US$1250).”
To summarise
- The Vivo X300 Pro ticks almost all boxes: premium build, flagship display, elite camera system, high performance and future-connectivity.
- Its biggest strengths lie in imaging , and high-end hardware.
- Its biggest trade-offs are size/weight, price, and some nuance that some camera aspects (ultra-wide, software processing) may not absolutely dominate the market.
- If you buy it, make sure you: check the variant (RAM/storage), ensure you’re getting the correct regional version (India/global), and verify network/5G band compatibility + software update policy.
- Also pair it with a good case + screen protector given its premium glass build and weight, protecting your investment makes sense.
