Vivo X300 Series Goes Global: Big Cameras, Ultra-Bright Displays & Much More

The Vivo X300 series was announced about two weeks ago in China. We knew that the global launch was coming today, and that’s just what happened; both the Vivo X300 and Vivo X300 Pro units have been announced for global markets.

The phones are pretty much the same as in China, with some differences in RAM + storage flavors offered. Both of them have a flat display, a flat frame, and a large circular camera island on the back. They’re actually quite similar design-wise.

Global variants of the Vivo X300 phones are here

The Vivo X300 Pro does have a number of advantages, though. It has a larger display, which is also slightly sharper, while the phone comes with a more powerful camera setup too. It also includes a larger battery, which is to be expected considering the size difference, and so on.

Both smartphones are made out of metal and glass, and both of them have a centered display camera hole up top. The bezels around the display are both thin and uniform, and that goes for both of these phones.

These phones are camera-centric, especially the ‘Pro’ model. Let’s take a look at what they each have to offer on the spec side of things. We’ll first talk about both of them at once, as there are some similarities between them. So we’ll go over the similarities first and then what’s different.

What they have in common?

Both of these phones are fueled by the same chip, the MediaTek Dimensity 9500. That is the company’s brand new 3nm processor, and it’s immensely powerful, plus it has great power efficiency as well.

Both phones also come in 16GB RAM flavors, though do note that the Vivo X300 is also available with 12GB of RAM. LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 flash storage are present in both phones. Android 16 comes pre-installed on both phones, along with Vivo’s OriginOS 6. These are the first global Vivo phones that ship with OriginOS instead of Funtouch OS.

You’ll realize that both smartphones are also IP68/IP69 rated for water and dust resistance. They both come with two nano SIM card slots and an eSIM capability as well. Stereo speakers are a part of the package too, while they both include a 50-megapixel selfie camera (1/2.76-inch sensor size).

Here are the differences

Alright, let’s talk about the differences. The Vivo X300 features a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display with an adaptive refresh rate (1-120Hz). It supports HDR10+ content, HDR Vivid, and goes up to 4,500 nits brightness-wise.

This display has a resolution of 2640 x 1216 pixels, and a screen-to-body ratio of 90.5%. The display aspect ratio is 19.5:9. The display is flat, by the way.

The Vivo X300 Pro basically has all the same parameters except the size, resolution, and screen-to-body ratio. The size is 6.78 inches, while the resolution is 2800 x 1260. The screen-to-body ratio here is 91.6%.

The Vivo X300 Pro has a larger battery, and a more powerful camera setup

Their battery packs are also different. The Vivo X300 has a 6,040mAh silicon-carbon battery. It supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. The Vivo X300 Pro, on the other hand, has a 6,510mAh battery, which is also a silicon-carbon unit. It supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging too.

Their camera setups are also different. The Vivo X300 includes a 200-megapixel main camera (1/1.4-inch sensor size, f/1.68 aperture), along with a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit (1/2.76-inch sensor size, f/2.0 aperture). The third camera on the back is a 50-megapixel unit as well, a periscope telephoto camera (1/1.95-inch sensor size, f/2.57 aperture).

The Vivo X300 Pro, on the other hand, includes a 50-megapixel main camera (1/1.28-inch sensor size, f/1.57 aperture), along with a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera (1/2.76-inch sensor size, f/2.0 aperture). The third camera is a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto unit (1/1.4-inch sensor size, f/2.67 aperture).

Each phone is available in a range of color options

The Vivo X300 measures 150.57 x 71.92 x 7.95mm, while it weighs 190 grams. It comes in Black, Blue, Purple, Pink, and Red colors. The ‘Pro’ model measures 161.98 x 75.48 x 7.99mm, and weighs 226 grams. It comes in Black, Brown, Blue, and White colors.

Price tags will differ from one market to the next. Vivo did not send us that info.
