Vivo X series is one of the most popular flagship series in the world, particularly known for its DSLR-level portrait capabilities, which have now finally made its yearly upgrade alongside the X300 Pro. The Vivo X300 series becomes the first-ever device to feature Mediatek’s latest flagship processor, the Dimensity 9500 chipset, and the standard X300 in particular features a 200MP main sensor. This article will discuss everything about the latest Vivo X300, including its specifications, camera features, and availability.
Vivo X300 Overview
Display and Design
The Vivo X300 now features a significantly compact flagship measuring 150.6 x 71.9 x 8 mm and weighing just 190 grams. It features 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 is available in Black, Blue, Red, Purple, and Pink. Now, on the design aspect, 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. The phone is also rated both IP68/IP69 and retains the same material used in the X200, with aluminum alloy in the frame and glass in the back.
Performance and Software
The Vivo X300 debuts as one of the first devices powered by MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500 chipset. This 3nm processor is designed to rival Apple’s A19 Pro and Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and will also feature in other flagship phones like Oppo Find X9 Series and other premium tablets to come.
The device runs on 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, which enables 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 also includes Vivo’s dedicated Blueprint V3+ Imaging Chip for advanced post-processing in photography.
Camera System
Vivo has worked with Samsung to create this HPB variant, where the “B” stands for Blue Factory, which is Vivo’s internal name. This Samsung-developed sensor makes it one of the largest periscope sensors ever. Interestingly, Samsung doesn’t plan to use a similar sensor in its own Ultra phones. The 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 that zooms up to 100 times using Zeiss Ultra HD-Zoom.
The smartphone camera game kind of did 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.
