Technical Breakdown: What’s Under the Hood
Performance & Software
Both models are powered by the 3 nm MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with up to 16 GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512 GB UFS 4.1 storage.
They ship with OriginOS 6 (based on Android 16), marking the debut of OriginOS outside China. Vivo promises five years of major OS updates and seven years of security patches — one of the longest support commitments in the Android ecosystem currently.
Connectivity is comprehensive: 5G (SA/NSA), Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth, NFC, dual-SIM support, stereo speakers, and 3D ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor for secure authentication.
Camera & Imaging: Where the X300 Series Shines
The camera setup is the headline — and for good reason. Vivo has collaborated with ZEISS to deliver carefully tuned optics, backed by dedicated imaging chips.
Vivo X300 (Standard)
- Main: 200 MP Samsung HPB sensor with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) — excellent for daylight and high-resolution shots.
- Secondary lenses: 50 MP ultra-wide lens + 50 MP Sony LYT602 periscope telephoto lens (with telemacro support and 3× optical zoom) — offering versatility for landscape, wide-angle, and zoom photography.
- Front camera: 50 MP sensor for selfies and video calls.
This combination makes the X300 well-suited for users who want a balanced flagship: portability, flagship performance, and a robust, flexible camera setup.
Vivo X300 Pro (Flagship-Focused)
- Main: 50 MP Sony LYT-828 sensor with OIS — a top-tier sensor by specifications, likely optimized for colour, dynamic range, and low-light performance.
- Ultra-wide: 50 MP lens.
- Telephoto: 200 MP Samsung HPB periscope telephoto lens (ZEISS APO-tuned) offering ~ 3.7× optical zoom — tailored for long-range shots, portraits and distant subjects.
- Front camera: 50 MP sensor, matching the standard variant
Thanks to the dual imaging chips (VS1 + V3+), the X300 Pro is positioned as a camera-first flagship, capable of producing detailed, well-coloured images with better dynamic range and low-light capabilities.

- Durability & Build: Both phones carry IP68 + IP69 dust/water resistance and feature Armor Glass protection — making them resistant to water, dust and even high-pressure jets; a rare plus in this segment.
They also include stereo speakers, in-display fingerprint sensor, USB-C, and all flagship-class connectivity expected in 2025.
Who Should Buy Which — Target Audience
| Use Case / Preference | Recommended Model |
|---|---|
| Compact form-factor, balanced performance, high-resolution camera and premium features | Vivo X300 |
| Large display, maximum camera flexibility (especially telephoto), long battery life, and feature-rich flagship experience | Vivo X300 Pro |
- Choose X300 if you want a powerful yet manageable flagship phone — ideal for everyday users who value portability but don’t want to compromise on camera or performance.
- Opt for X300 Pro if you are a content creator, frequent traveller, or photography enthusiast who needs long-range zoom, superior imaging flexibility, large display for media, and the best hardware a flagship can offer.
What This Launch Means for the Flagship Segment in 2025
- With the introduction of OriginOS 6 + Android 16 in India via the X300 series, Vivo sets the tone for a modern OS experience: smoother UI, more customization, and — importantly — a long software support window that rivals some of the best in the business.
- The inclusion of ZEISS-tuned optics and dedicated imaging chips signals Vivo’s renewed focus on “mobile photography done right.” For many users, smartphone camera quality has become as important as performance — and the X300 lineup is clearly designed to cater to that demand.
- Through features like fast wired + wireless charging, large batteries, water/dust resistance and flagship-grade display, Vivo is positioning the X300 and X300 Pro as true all-rounder flagships — not just camera-centric devices. This balances practicality, performance, and premium hardware.
Points to Consider Before Buying
- The premium pricing — especially of the X300 Pro — means you’re paying for flagship-class hardware and camera flexibility. If you primarily use your phone for social media, messaging, or casual photography, you might be overpaying.
- The telephoto camera on the Pro is excellent for long-range shots, but achieving the best results may require steady hands or use of the telephoto extender accessory — adding to overall cost.
- As with any new OS/skin — while Vivo promises long-term support — real-world software optimization, updates rollout speed and long-term stability remain to be tested over time.
Verdict: A Strong Flagship Contender for Photography-Focused Users
The Vivo X300 series launches in India at a time when demand for photography-capable yet feature-rich smartphones is higher than ever. With powerful internals, robust imaging hardware, long-term software support, and a clear focus on user needs, both the X300 and X300 Pro offer compelling value.
- X300 strikes an excellent balance — bringing flagship power, a 200 MP main camera, telephoto capabilities and modern display & charging features — all in a manageable form factor.
- X300 Pro goes all in — for those who view their smartphone as their primary camera. With ZEISS-tuned optics, periscope telephoto lens, large display and battery, it stands as one of the most photography-forward flagships available in India as of December 2025.
For readers who prioritise camera quality, long-term software support, and flagship-level hardware — the Vivo X300 series is a strong contender, and arguably one of the most balanced launches of the year.
