These offers underline Vivo’s intention to make a very premium price tag feel more approachable for enthusiasts who want camera‑centric flagships.

Global context: X300 series beyond India

The X300 series first launched in China in October 2025, with global availability rolling out later that month. In Europe, Vivo is selling the X300 in markets like Austria, Spain, Poland, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Italy, with prices starting around €1,049 for the X300 and €1,399 for the X300 Pro. ^[5]

These are also the first Vivo phones to bring OriginOS outside China, replacing the older Funtouch OS on international models — a significant software shift that now extends to India as well. ^[6]

Design and displays: compact vs classic flagship

One of the biggest differentiators between the two phones is size and in‑hand feel.

Vivo X300: “Pro Mini” compact flagship

The Vivo X300 is designed as a compact premium flagship: ^[7]

Size & weight: roughly 150.57 × 71.92 × 7.95mm, 190g
Frame & back: flat sides with a velvet‑textured glass back on some colourways, giving it a soft, grippy feel
Display:
- 6.31‑inch LTPO AMOLED panel
- 1.5K‑class resolution (1216 × 1640)
- Up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate
- Peak brightness quoted up to 4,500 nits, making it highly legible outdoors

India Today calls the X300 “one of those rare compact phones that gets almost everything right,” praising the comfortable, premium in‑hand feel and excellent display brightness. ^[8]

Vivo X300 Pro: bigger canvas for serious shooters

The X300 Pro is noticeably larger and heavier, more in line with other big‑screen flagships: ^[9]

Size & weight: about 161.98 × 75.48 × 7.99mm, 226g
Display:
- 6.78‑inch AMOLED, 1.5K+ (2800 × 1260)
- 120Hz refresh rate
- Similar high peak brightness aimed at HDR content and gaming

Both phones feature flat displays, ultrasonic in‑display fingerprint sensors and IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance, making them among the more durable camera‑centric flagships on the market. ^[10]

Cameras: 200MP ZEISS optics and APO telephoto glass

Cameras are the headline story for the X300 series, continuing Vivo’s deep partnership with ZEISS.

Vivo X300 camera setup

For the vanilla X300, Vivo is leaning into “do‑it‑all” versatility while keeping the phone compact. Indian launch documentation and the global spec sheet highlight: ^[11]

Rear cameras (triple):
- 200MP ZEISS main camera (large sensor, OIS)
- 50MP ultra‑wide
- 50MP periscope telephoto
Front camera:
- 50MP wide‑angle selfie camera

Indian Express’ review notes that the 200MP main camera delivers excellent detail and “phenomenal clarity,” with realistic colours and strong performance even in challenging lighting, while telephoto lets you read far‑away details like stage labels or instrument logos at concerts. ^[12]

Vivo X300 Pro camera setup

The X300 Pro takes a slightly different approach: instead of a 200MP main sensor, it uses a more traditional 50MP primary camera and pushes the 200MP count to its telephoto lens. The Pro’s camera configuration is: ^[13]

Rear cameras (triple):
- 50MP main camera using Sony LYT‑828 (1/1.28‑inch sensor, fast f/1.57 lens)
- 50MP ultra‑wide (Samsung JN1, f/2.0)
- 200MP ZEISS APO periscope telephoto (1/1.4‑inch Samsung ISOCELL HPB)
Front camera:
- 50MP ZEISS wide‑angle selfie camera

In addition, the X300 Pro supports the ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit, a clip‑on accessory that optically multiplies the telephoto reach for serious wildlife or stage photographers. ^[14]

Vivo and ZEISS are also emphasizing pro‑grade video, including 4K 120fps capture with Dolby Vision HDR and 10‑bit Log profiles on the Pro model, making it attractive for mobile filmmakers who grade footage in post. ^[15]

Performance, software and battery life

Dimensity 9500 at the core

Both the X300 and X300 Pro use MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 — a 3nm, all‑big‑core SoC co‑developed with Vivo, paired with Vivo’s dedicated imaging chip (VS1/V3+ depending on region). ^[16]

Key claims from Vivo’s global specs include: ^[17]

Higher single‑core CPU performance versus the previous generation
Over 30% GPU uplift with significantly lower power consumption
More than 100% NPU performance boost for AI imaging and on‑device generative features

Indian reviewers generally report smooth performance and cool thermals in real‑world use. Indian Express highlights that the glacier cooling system keeps the X300 comfortable under heavy gaming, while India Today notes only minor warmth during synthetic benchmarks. ^[18]

OriginOS 6 and long‑term support

Both phones run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16 out of the box — a key shift for global markets where Vivo previously shipped Funtouch OS. ^[19]

On the software side, Vivo is promising: ^[20]

5 years of major OS upgrades
7 years of security updates
New Shortcut Button, redesigned control center and richer lockscreen/AOD customization
Privacy‑focused features with on‑device AI, including a secure private space for apps and files

Business Standard notes that OriginOS 6 on the X300 Pro feels more refined and fluid compared to previous Vivo skins, adding that the combination of the Dimensity 9500 and optimized software keeps the phone responsive under load. ^[21]

Big batteries, fast charging

Battery life is another headline spec: ^[22]

Vivo X300
- Approx. 6,040mAh battery (global spec)
- 90W wired FlashCharge
- 40W wireless charging + reverse wireless charging
Vivo X300 Pro
- Approx. 6,510mAh battery
- 90W wired FlashCharge
- 40W wireless + reverse wireless charging

Indian Express’ long‑term testing suggests the X300 easily lasts through a heavy day of mixed use, even with binge‑watching and social scrolling, while still having power left over. ^[23]

What the first reviews say on December 2, 2025

Today’s Indian coverage is unusually dense for a single flagship launch, giving a well‑rounded early picture of both devices.

Vivo X300: compact flagship with “segment‑killing” camera

The Indian Express rates the Vivo X300 4.5/5, calling it a well‑balanced flagship that delivers on design, performance and especially camera quality. The 200MP ZEISS system is praised for realistic colours, strong low‑light performance and surprisingly usable telephoto zoom, while the 6.31‑inch AMOLED display and large battery round out the package. ^[24]
India Today gives the X300 a score of 8/10, highlighting the “excellent display brightness,” compact premium design, smooth performance and reliable battery life. The main criticism is that the phone can get warm under synthetic benchmarks, though day‑to‑day use remains unaffected. ^[25]
Globally, PhoneArena previously dubbed the X300 a kind of “Pro Mini,” essentially a smaller sibling that brings much of the Pro’s polish in a more hand‑friendly size — a rare combination in 2025’s flagship market. ^[26]

Together, these reviews position the X300 as a top contender for users who want a smaller Android flagship without compromising on camera performance or battery endurance.

Vivo X300 Pro: camera‑first flagship for serious shooters

Business Standard’s review of the X300 Pro emphasizes that this is very much a “photography‑first” device, with the 200MP APO telephoto lens, ZEISS branding and refined imaging algorithms delivering standout zoom and portrait results. The publication also notes that OriginOS 6 feels more polished than previous Vivo skins and that 90W charging keeps downtime low, though there is still room for software stability improvements in some UI areas. ^[27]
Other early hands‑on and reviews published in recent days (including from GadgetMatch and international outlets) echo that the Pro’s telephoto camera is one of the best in the segment, with the optional ZEISS Telephoto Extender Kit further underlining its appeal to hobbyist and semi‑pro photographers. ^[28]

How Vivo X300 series stacks up against rivals

With prices starting at roughly ₹75,999 and going up to ₹1,09,999, the X300 lineup is squarely in the premium flagshiptier. Economic Times today explicitly compares the X300 against the OnePlus 15, iQOO 15 and iPhone 17, noting that Vivo aims to stand out with its 200MP camera and large battery. ^[29]

Where the X300 and X300 Pro arguably have an edge:

Camera versatility: 200MP sensors (main on X300, tele on X300 Pro) paired with ZEISS optics, multi‑focal‑length system and pro‑video options
Battery + charging: >6,000mAh batteries with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging across the lineup
Durability: IP68/IP69 rating on both phones, which is still not universal in the Android flagship space
Software promise: 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patches help justify the long‑term investment

Where competition remains tough:

Price sensitivity: At over ₹1 lakh, the X300 Pro sits in the same bracket as high‑storage iPhone and Galaxy models, making brand preference and ecosystem lock‑in crucial factors.
Ecosystem depth: Apple and Samsung still offer tighter integration across laptops, tablets and wearables, an area where Vivo is comparatively weaker outside China.

Who should consider the Vivo X300 or X300 Pro?

Given today’s launch and review coverage, the buyer profiles for each phone are already fairly clear:

Vivo X300 is ideal for:
- Users who want a compact flagship but refuse to compromise on battery life or camera quality
- Creators who value a versatile 200MP main camera and strong telephoto without needing the absolute longest zoom
- Buyers who want a slightly more accessible price point while still getting the full OriginOS 6 and Dimensity 9500 experience
Vivo X300 Pro is better suited for:
- Serious photography enthusiasts who want class‑leading telephoto zoom and are interested in accessories like the ZEISS Telephoto Extender Kit
- Mobile videographers who plan to use 4K 120fps and Log video for graded content
- Users happy to pay a premium for the combination of big battery, bright large display and the most advanced imaging hardware in the series

Bottom line

From today’s India launch and the flood of first‑day reviews, the Vivo X300 series is clearly positioned as a camera‑centric flagship duo, with the X300 delivering a rare compact powerhouse and the X300 Pro going all‑in on telephoto and pro‑grade video. Competitive launch offers, long software support and aggressive imaging claims make them two of the most interesting Android flagships closing out 2025.

If you are shopping in the ₹70,000–₹1,10,000 bracket and care deeply about smartphone photography, the X300 and X300 Pro have instantly vaulted to the top of the shortlist — and today’s coverage suggests they largely live up to the hype.
