Phone Overview
The vivo X300 Pro was announced in China on October 13, 2025 and released on October 17, 2025, with a global debut for selected markets on October 30, 2025 and an India launch on December 2, 2025. It is vivo's camera-focused flagship, with a MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display and a 200MP ZEISS APO periscope telephoto.
It launched together with the smaller vivo X300, and the main difference is the 200MP sensor: it is the X300 Pro's telephoto, while the X300 uses it as its main camera. The battery is 6,510mAh on global versions and 5,440mAh on EU versions, so check the version before buying.
Performance and Processor
The chipset is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (3 nm), with one 4.21GHz C1-Ultra core, three 3.5GHz C1-Premium cores and four 2.7GHz C1-Pro cores. The phone also has vivo's own VS1 imaging chip. Configurations include 12GB + 256GB and 16GB + 512GB.
SpecHub has not run benchmarks or thermal tests, so no performance claim is made here.
Display Experience
The display is a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED at 1260 x 2800 pixels (about 453 pixels per inch) with an adaptive 1 to 120Hz refresh rate and 2160Hz PWM dimming. One listing shows a 144Hz figure and a 4,500-nit peak, but these were not confirmed from other sources and are not listed.
The 50MP selfie camera and an ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor complete the front hardware.
Camera Experience
The rear cameras are a 50MP main (f/1.6, 1/1.28-inch, optical stabilisation; Unbox Philippines names an LYT-828 sensor with gimbal-style OIS), a 50MP ultrawide (119 degrees) and a 200MP ZEISS APO periscope telephoto (85mm, f/2.7, about 3.7x optical zoom, macro 2.7:1).
The phone supports vivo's 2.35x telephoto extender, a detachable lens module sold separately. Retail and launch coverage mention 4K recording at 120fps with Dolby Vision. SpecHub has not tested photo or video quality.
Battery and Charging
The global X300 Pro lists a 6,510mAh silicon-carbon battery, while GSMArena lists 5,440mAh for EU markets. Charging is 90W wired and 40W wireless. SpecHub has not run battery-life tests, so no endurance claim is made here.
Software and Features
The phone runs Android 16 with OriginOS 6, and listings state up to 5 major OS updates (and 7 years of security patches according to 91mobiles). It is rated IP68 and IP69.
Who Should Consider This Phone?
People who want a long-range telephoto camera, flagship performance and fast wired and wireless charging, and who can use the optional telephoto extender, will find the most to like.
Who May Prefer Another Phone?
Buyers who want a smaller phone should look at the vivo X300. Buyers in Europe should check the exact battery size, since EU versions use 5,440mAh.
Editorial Verdict
On paper, the X300 Pro is a camera-first flagship built around a 200MP telephoto, a large global battery and fast charging, with a smaller battery on EU versions as its main caveat. It suits people who prioritise zoom photography.
