The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro represent two premium smartphones packed with cutting-edge technology. Equipped with an AMOLED LTPO display with a refresh rate of 120Hz, both devices offer a premium viewing experience. They run on the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor, ensuring high performance. However, three aspects deserve special attention:
- The camera.
- The battery.
- The operating system.
Starting with the operating system, Vivo has successfully integrated compatibility with Apple devices like the Apple Watch and AirPods. This has enabled Chinese brands to innovate and break through barriers previously established by tech giants.

Another significant aspect is the updates. Both models come with Android 16 preinstalled, and Vivo commits to providing five years of major updates along with seven years of security patches. This ensures that the X300 and X300 Pro can potentially upgrade to Android 21 .

Advice offered by the brand
Now, let’s discuss the battery. Despite their ultra-slim profiles (less than eight millimeters thick), the X300 and X300 Pro pack 5,360 mAh and 5,440 mAh batteries, respectively. This is achieved through innovative silicon-carbon technology, a growing trend among leading brands. The devices support 90W wired and 40W wireless fast charging , catering to modern users’ needs.
The camera system deserves a dedicated section:
Vivo X300 | Vivo X300 Pro | |
|---|---|---|
Angular | 200 MP sensor (Samsung ISOCELL HPB) | 50 MP sensor (Sony LYT-828) |
Telephoto | 50 MP sensor (LYT-602) | 200 MP sensor (Samsung ISOCELL HPB) |
Wide Angle | 50 MP sensor (Samsung JN1) | 50 MP sensor (Samsung JN1) |
Selfie | 50 MP sensor (Samsung JN1) | 50 MP sensor (Samsung JN1) |

The importance of the 200-megapixel camera is especially prominent in the Pro model. Vivo has chosen to utilize the Samsung ISOCELL HPB “Thanos” sensor for telephoto capabilities. The design aims to provide excellent quality even when zooming in, maximizing the benefit of a high-resolution sensor.
To further enhance photographic creativity, Vivo offers an optional Photokit , inclusive of a telephoto lens that can be connected to the camera for even greater zoom capabilities. Testing this feature with the previous model, the Vivo X200 Pro, yielded impressive results, and we expect even better performance from its successor.
Versions and Price of the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro
The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro will be available in Spain starting October 30. Customers can purchase them through the official Vivo website and other retail partners such as MediaMarkt, Carrefour, FNAC, and Worten. The pricing is as follows:
- Vivo X300: €1,099
- Vivo X300 Pro: €1,399
- Vivo X300 Pro with Photokit: €1,599
