The vivo X300 Pro brings specifications, support, and even a complete range of accessories that are increasingly tempting for users at launch.
The price tag is also quite competitive. Available in Dune Brown, Cloud White, and Phantom Black, this flagship device can be purchased for €1,400. This price may still be high for some. However, considering its advantages and disadvantages, the vivo X300 Pro is a very worthy choice.
Advantages of the vivo X300 Pro
1. Brings Vivo's Highest Camera Configuration
Like previous generations, the camera is one of the highlights of the vivo X300 Pro. Its development is still carried out in collaboration with ZEISS, a company renowned for its optical technology.The collaboration between the two companies is also demonstrated by the ZEISS T* logo on the camera. This logo also indicates that the device's lens is equipped with a special coating of the same name. For those unfamiliar, the ZEISS T* is a special coating designed to increase light transmission and reduce reflection, allowing the lens to reproduce colors accurately.
As the highest end model in the vivo product line, the vivo X300 Pro excels in its telephoto camera capabilities. This device specifically features a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HPB, which is also used as the main sensor in the standard vivo X300. This device's telephoto camera technically supports up to 3.7x optical zoom. Its image capture capabilities have also received ZEISS APO certification.
Meanwhile, the main camera uses a Sony LYT-828 sensor, capable of capturing images up to 50MP. This sensor supports up to 8K video recording, which is not yet available on the standard vivo X300.
Interestingly, with the ZEISS Gimbal Grade Main Camera, the vivo X300 Pro's main camera features the world's first ±1.5° OIS, allowing for more stable shooting even when held handheld. Its image stabilization capabilities have even been proven superior through CIPA 5.5 certification, which applies to both the device's main and telephoto cameras.
For the ultrawide and front cameras, the vivo X300 Pro uses the same sensor. Both use the Samsung ISOCELL JN1, which supports up to 50MP photo resolution. Beyond its camera configuration, the vivo X300 Pro's photography and videography excellence is also supported by a dedicated processing chip called the Pro Imaging Chip VS1.
Combined with the vivo V3+, which is also designed for imaging, the vivo X300 can deliver faster image capture and wider landscape coverage. We has personally tested the capabilities of all the vivo X300 Pro's cameras. The photos produced in a variety of shooting conditions are satisfying.
2. Cutting Edge Processor
To support its various capabilities, the vivo X300 Pro also carries a powerful processor. This device is equipped with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset.At the time of publication, the Dimensity 9500 was the fastest chipset on a smartphone. Its performance outperformed various chipsets already in use. This is understandable considering the Dimensity 9500 combines ARM C1 series architecture cores with the ARM Mali-G1 Ultra MC12 and MediaTek NPU 990. The 3nm chipset can be clocked up to 4.21GHz.
With this configuration, the Dimensity 9500 offers 32 percent more powerful data processing performance, 33 percent better graphics processing, and 111 percent more powerful artificial intelligence processing than its predecessor.
Based on internal vivo testing, the X300 Pro even achieved an AnTuTu score of 3,826,454. This extremely high result demonstrates the device's capability to handle a variety of tasks, including multitasking. Furthermore, the vivo X300 Pro also boasts advanced memory support. The chipset is paired with 16GB of LPDDR5x Ultra RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage.
3. A Stunning, Sharp Display
In contrast to the standard model, the Vivo X300 Pro is perfect for those looking for a phone with a large screen. Its panel stretches to 6.78 inches.Furthermore, the display offers a very sharp resolution. This device is equipped with a panel that supports image resolutions up to 2800 x 1260 pixels. The panel itself uses AMOLED technology that supports brightness levels of up to 4,500 nits. This allows users to view content clearly in various lighting conditions.
The refresh rate is also quite high, technically capable of handling up to 120Hz. However, thanks to 8T LTPO technology, the device's battery lasts. This can save energy if you only need to display static content.
The exciting result of the collaboration with ZEISS is also evident in the display. The vivo X300 Pro is equipped with the ZEISS Natural Color solution, which allows the panel to display colors naturally.
The vivo X300 Pro's display is the perfect solution for displaying various HDR content. The panel supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision technology, maximizing the display. Furthermore, the screen is certified by SGS and TÜV Rheinland for comfortable viewing. Users can therefore use the device for extended periods without worrying about eye fatigue.
4. Reliable Power Supply
Similar to other vivo phones in general, the vivo X300 Pro uses BlueVolt Battery technology. Therefore, the battery life of this device should not be underestimated. The BlueVolt Battery technology on the vivo X300 Pro uses a fourth generation carbon silicon battery, which is technically capable of packing a very large power storage capacity into a more compact size.Thanks to this technology, the vivo X300 Pro can use a 6,510mAh battery. This storage capacity is larger than most phones of a similar size. Supported by in depth optimization through software and hardware alignment, the vivo X300 Pro is claimed to deliver the best battery life in its segment.
Considering the power sector, the vivo X300 Pro is also suitable for long term use. The device's battery has received a 5 year battery health certification from SGS.
When running out of power, users don't need to worry about waiting long. The battery is paired with 90W FlashCharge technology, which provides a faster charging experience. There's also a Bypass Charging feature that allows users to use the phone while connected to a charger without worry. The current is routed directly to the main motor to prevent overheating and maintain battery health.
Wireless FlashCharge support is also available on this device. With this wireless charging technology, users can charge their devices more conveniently.
5. New Interface with Extensive Updates
The transition from the Funtouch OS system interface to OriginOS is also a distinct advantage for the vivo X300 Pro. Furthermore, vivo now uses Android 16 as its development base. Beyond just a fresher look, vivo's new generation interface is now equipped with enhanced productivity features through the vivo Office Kit.Office Kit provides several features that can be used to seamlessly switch from phone to computer, such as Task Handoff, Screen Mirroring, Note Sync, and Free Transfer. Specifically, Task Handoff can be used to transfer various tasks and activities, Screen Mirroring to project the screen, Note Sync to synchronize notes, and Free Transfer to transfer files.
Through this new interface, the vivo X300 Pro also offers several intelligent functions that can simplify user tasks, such as AI Creation, AI Captions, and AI Search. AI Creation can assist users in creating documents or notes. Users can use it to rewrite, summarize, expand, and even translate text.
Users can use AI Captions to translate, transcribe, and summarize speech. This support can be used for calls and video conferences. Meanwhile, AI Search allows users to intelligently search across the entire phone ecosystem. This support allows users to access various content conveniently without switching apps.
Interestingly, along with its new interface, the vivo X300 Pro now carries a long term update guarantee. This device will receive up to five Android upgrades and seven years of security maintenance.

The vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit includes an additional lens that can be used to enhance the device's long range shooting capabilities. Meanwhile, the vivo PGYTECH Imaging Grip Kit includes a special grip that provides comfort when holding and operating the phone camera like a DSLR. The accessory also has a 2,300mAh battery for extended use.
Unfortunately, both are sold separately, making them quite expensive.
