The wait is over as vivo has officially launched its highly anticipated flagship, the vivo X300 Pro, in China. Confirming months of speculation, the new device arrives with a formidable set of specifications aimed squarely at dominating the mobile photography landscape, headlined by a groundbreaking partnership with ZEISS on a new triple-camera system.
At the core of this new camera system is an industry-shaking 200MP periscope telephoto lens, a custom Samsung HPB sensor developed with vivo. This is paired with a 50MP main camera featuring Sony’s new LYT-828 sensor with advanced gimbal stabilization and a 50MP ultrawide lens. This potent combination promises unprecedented detail in zoom photography and exceptional performance across all lighting conditions.
Powering the New Photo King
Driving the vivo X300 Pro is MediaTek’s latest top-tier chipset, the Dimensity 9500. This new “All Big Core” processor, built on a 3nm process, delivers a significant leap in performance and efficiency. The powerful chip is complemented by vivo’s own V3+ imaging chip, ensuring that the complex processing required for its advanced camera features runs seamlessly.
The device boasts a stunning 6.78-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED display with a resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Keeping the lights on is a massive 6,510mAh battery, which supports rapid 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, ensuring the phone can keep up with heavy use.
“Vivo is making a clear statement with the X300 Pro. They are not just competing; they are aiming to set a new benchmark for what is possible in smartphone photography,” says tech analyst Harish Jonnalagadda of Android Central. “The combination of this hardware with their refined imaging software is incredibly compelling.”
Design and Availability
The vivo X300 Pro sports a refined design with a matte-textured frame and back for an improved in-hand feel, and features a robust IP68/IP69 rating for water and dust resistance. It launches with OriginOS 6, based on Android 16.
The vivo X300 Pro has been launched in China with pricing starting at approximately $745 for the base model. While global availability is yet to be fully detailed, a wider release is expected in the coming weeks, putting the top flagship phones from every major brand on notice.
