Vivo has made official the global launch of the X300 and X300 Protwo flagships that aim directly at the highest range for camera, battery and software. After their premiere in China weeks ago, both arrive in Europe with OriginOS 6 as a cape (instead of Funtouch), with considerable batteries for its category, although somewhat smaller than in the Chinese versions, and a photographic module signed by ZEISS which puts the long zoom back into the center of the conversation.
This approach is not coincidental: the X300 Pro debuts a periscopic telephoto lens with a Samsung HPB sensor with optics APO and stabilization CIPA 5.5accompanied by a main Sony LYT-828 and a 50 Mpx ultra wide angle. Let's see more details of these premium range mobile phones, which reach Western markets with a very competitive proposal.
ZEISS cameras and long zoom: the great photographic bet
The X300 Pro aspires to position itself as the photographic benchmark of 2025 with that telephoto lens of 200 Mpx capable of maintaining detail at a distance and functions such as telephoto subject trackinghigh speed bursts and video Dolby Vision up to 4K/120 fps. The combination of VS1 (preprocessed) with the V3+ (post-processing) promises improvements in focus, dynamic range and reduction of aberrations thanks to APO optics and coating ZEISS T*. There is also ambition in the base model: it maintains the 50 Mpx in ultra wide angle and telephotoand a main sensor 200 Mpx designed for general scenes.
Beyond hardware, Vivo reinforces its proposal with portrait styles ZEISS Natural Portrait and ways like Stage 2.0 either Dual-Viewin addition to the adaptive flash which adjusts the lighting according to the classic focal length (24, 50 and 85 mm). With the aim of improving not only the numerical values, but the overall visual experience.
LTPO displays, Dimensity 9500 and long-lasting batteries
The X300 Pro mounts a panel 6.78 inch LTPO OLED with 1.5K resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate; the X300 opts for 6.31 inches with the same rate. In both beats MediaTek Dimensity 9500accompanied by 90 W wired and 40 W wireless charging, with resistance IP68. In terms of autonomy, the results are not as remarkable as expected. Here we see that the standard version remains at 5360 mAh (6040 Chinese version) and for the X300 Pro it comes with a 5440 mAh battery (6510 mAh Chinese version) and although, for the moment, no official justification has been offered. According to some sources, the reduction is due to obstacles in the certification processes for the international market.
Price and availability
The X300 series begins its deployment in countries such as Spain, Italy, Austria, Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic with prices of 1,049 euros for him X300 (12/256GB) and 1,399 euros for him X300 Pro (16/512GB). Comes in colors Pink Halo and Phantom Black (X300) and Dune Brown and Phantom Black (Pro). The key to this generation, in addition to the camera, is the jump to OriginOS in international markets, a profound change in design, animations and system functions that differentiates these Vivo from the Android competition.
An ambitious debut that sets the bar high
With 200 Mpx telephoto lensnew generation battery chemistry and OriginOS Globally, the Vivo X300 are planted as a real alternative to the “Ultra” on the market.
