Vivo X series is one of the most popular flagship series in the world, particularly known for its DSLR-level portrait capabilities, which is now set to make its yearly upgrade with the X300 Series. The Vivo X300 will soon become the first-ever device to feature Mediatek’s latest flagship processor, the Dimensity 9500 chipset, and will pack custom 200MP Samsung HPB sensors. This article will discuss everything about the latest Vivo X300, including their specifications, camera features, and availability.
Vivo X300 Overviewrumors
Display and Design
The Vivo X300 now features a significantly compact flagship measuring 150.57 x 71.92 x 7.95mm and weighing just 190 grams. It will feature a 6.31-inch BOE Q10+ OLED panel, instead of the 6.67-inch display featured on its predecessor, offering a 1.5K resolution (2640 x 1216 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate. The device will be available in “Freedom Blue”, “Leisure Purple”, “Lucky Colour”, and “Pure Black.” At first glance, it may not look like the X300 Series has gotten a complete redesign, but Vivo did change the back camera module slightly, as it now sports a flatter design than the X200 while maintaining rounded corners.
Performance and Software
The Vivo X300 will debut as one of the first devices powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500 chipset, alongside Oppo’s upcoming X9 series. The processor is designed to rival Apple’s A19 Pro and Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.
The device will run OriginOS 6 based on Android 16, marking the global rollout of Vivo’s new system as it replaces Funtouch OS across all international models for the first time. OriginOS 6 adds support for Vivo’s AIGC large model support, enabling AI-assisted landscape generation and customized beauty filters. But some users have speculated that these features as “pure gimmicks” with limited real-world use. Similarly, the X300 will continue to include Vivo’s dedicated VS1 and V3+ imaging chips for advanced pre- and post-processing in photography.
Camera System
Vivo seems to have worked with Samsung to create this HPB variant, where the “B” stands for Blue Factory, which is Vivo’s internal name. This sensor comes with a large 1/1.4 aperture and can shoot both 23mm 200MP shots and 50mm 50MP ultra-HD images.
The X300 will use this 200MP HPB sensor as its main camera with Zeiss T* coating for better stray light control and CIPA 4.5 image stabilization. For selfies, it packs a Samsung JN1 50-megapixel front camera with a 92-degree FOV. The rear setup also includes a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultra-wide lens and a 50MP Sony LYT-602 periscope telephoto camera with OIS.
The smartphone camera game peaked a couple of years back, though I’d give it to Vivo, their camera processing has gotten genuinely impressive, especially after that Zeiss partnership started paying off. The X200 series managed to rank number 1 in our camera rankings, beating the Galaxy S25 Ultra and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Battery and Charging
We had previously noted a massive 6,510 mAh battery was expected, but turns out there will be a significant decrease in battery size with the X300 packing a 6,040 mAh battery instead. However, it compensates with impressive charging capabilities supporting 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.
Accessories
The vivo Zeiss 2.35x telephoto teleconverter kit that was revealed alongside the vivo X200 Ultra last year will also be compatible with this set of smartphones. The kit will come in a silver color for the X300, while the X300 Pro features a dark black tone.
