Like each Vivo flagships, nan X300 bid includes Zeiss-branded cameras.

Vivo has announced nan X300 and X300 Pro, its latest flagship phones, and they look person to nan company’s moreover much premium Ultra handsets than ever. On paper, nan Pro’s camera setup looks conscionable arsenic bully arsenic nan X200 Ultra’s, particularly acknowledgment to offering support for nan aforesaid add-on telephoto extender lens introduced pinch that telephone erstwhile it launched successful April this year, a fewer months aft nan first X200 handsets.

Cameras are intelligibly Vivo’s attraction connected some caller X300 phones, which each characteristic a caller 200-megapixel HPB imaging sensor designed successful collaboration pinch Samsung. The X300 Pro uses that sensor for its 85mm-equivalent telephoto camera, which offers akin specs to nan industry-leading telephoto connected nan X200 Ultra, isolated from a somewhat slower f/2.67 aperture. The main camera mightiness moreover better that of nan Ultra, utilizing nan Sony LYT-828, nan successor to nan sensor recovered successful that phone, pinch a faster aperture. 

It’s only nan ultrawide that’s intelligibly a measurement down from nan X200 Ultra’s, utilizing a smaller sensor that’s improbable to present nan aforesaid image quality, particularly successful debased light. All 3 rear cameras besides support 4K, 120fps, 10-bit Log video recording. It’s capable to make nan X300 Pro consciousness for illustration a connection telephone from Vivo, channeling nan acclaim it’s received for its Ultra models towards nan adjacent measurement down successful price.

The regular X300 should impressment too. Here, that 200-megapixel Samsung sensor is utilized for nan main camera, paired pinch a accelerated f/1.68 aperture. It’s joined by a 50-megapixel telephoto, and nan aforesaid 50-megapixel ultrawide and selfie lenses arsenic nan Pro.

Both phones support nan telephoto extender, a 2.35x lens that attaches to nan phones’ existing telephoto lenses via a dedicated telephone lawsuit and mount. Paired pinch nan X200 Ultra it enabled maine to return immoderate beautiful bonzer long-range shots that nary different telephone would beryllium tin of, and I’m only amazed to spot Vivo rolling support retired to its different flagships truthful soon, alternatively than holding it backmost arsenic an Ultra-only feature. It’s still sold together pinch a larger Photography Kit, including nan mounting lawsuit and a camera grip pinch a artillery battalion built in.

Both phones are powered by MediaTek’s flagship Dimensity 9500 chipset, a rival to nan Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. A fewer different specs are shared too: 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, IP68 and 69 durability ratings, and ultrasonic fingerprint sensors. 

The biggest difference, beyond nan camera specs, is nan size: while nan Pro is simply a large phone, pinch a 6.78-inch display, nan regular X300 has a comparatively compact 6.31-inch screen. Both phones are slim, coming beneath 8mm thick, though nan X300’s 7.95mm is simply a hair’s width thinner. The batteries alteration too, though Vivo has made immoderate absorbing claims here: it suggests that acknowledgment to ratio optimizations, nan 6,510mAh and 6,040mAh silicon-carbon batteries successful nan 2 phones are comparable successful longevity to 7,500mAh and 7,000mAh cells successful different hardware — hopefully we’ll get nan chance to put that declare to nan trial ourselves.

Both nan X300 and X300 Pro are disposable to bid successful China now, moving nan new OriginOS 6, Vivo’s return connected Android. The X300 starts from ¥4,399 (around $620), pinch nan Pro astatine ¥5,299 (around $745). The telephoto lens is sold separately for ¥1,299 (around $180), aliases ¥1,499 (around $210) for nan afloat photography kit.

The institution hasn’t confirmed wider merchandise plans, but its flagship models usually motorboat elsewhere successful Asia on pinch immoderate European markets — and for nan first clip it’s confirmed that nan caller OriginOS will too, yet replacing nan dreadful Funtouch OS package Vivo has utilized extracurricular of China for years. An X300 Ultra is besides apt to motorboat successful early 2026, though Vivo will person to propulsion retired each nan stops to find room to differentiate it from nan X300 Pro.
