The new lineup integrates MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9500 SoC, runs on the Android 16-based OriginOS 6, and boasts Zeiss-engineered cameras complemented by Vivo’s proprietary V3+ image processing chips.
Advanced Imaging at the Core
Photography remains a cornerstone of the Vivo X series, and the X300 lineup elevates this with impressive hardware. The standard Vivo X300 features a remarkable 200-megapixel Samsung HPB primary rear sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), offering unparalleled detail and clarity. Its camera array is further enhanced by a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultrawide lens and a 50-megapixel LYT-602 periscope telephoto camera, also with OIS.
The Vivo X300 Pro, meanwhile, takes a slightly different approach with its main sensor, sporting a 50-megapixel Sony LYT-828 primary sensor, also equipped with OIS for stable shots in various conditions. This is paired with a 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 ultrawide shooter and an incredible 200-megapixel periscope telephoto shooter, complete with OIS, suggesting exceptional zoom capabilities. Both models benefit from Zeiss-engineered optics and support an optional Zeiss 2.35x telephoto teleconverter accessory, promising professional-grade photographic versatility. To further optimize image quality, both handsets leverage Vivo’s advanced V3+ imaging chip for post-processing and an additional Vs1 chip specifically for pre-processing in the Pro model. For selfie enthusiasts, both devices come equipped with a high-resolution 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 front camera, ensuring crisp and vibrant self-portraits.
Dynamic Displays and Potent Performance
Both the Vivo X300 and Vivo X300 Pro boast stunning visuals, featuring BOE Q10+ OLED 1.5K LTPO panels. These displays offer a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring silky-smooth scrolling and fluid animations, along with circular polarisation 2.0 on the Pro variant for enhanced viewing. The Pro model sports a larger 6.78-inch 1.5K (2,800×1,216 pixels) flat display, while the standard X300 offers a slightly more compact 6.31-inch 1.5K (2,640×1,216 pixels) flat screen.
Under the hood, both smartphones are powered by MediaTek’s latest and most powerful offering, the Dimensity 9500 SoC. This chipset is paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 onboard storage, ensuring snappy performance, efficient multitasking, and lightning-fast data access. The devices ship with Android 16, customized with Vivo’s intuitive OriginOS 6, promising a user-friendly and feature-rich software experience.
