1. What exactly is the series?
The “X300 series” from Vivo consists of at least two flagship models: the X300 (base model) and the X300 Pro. They were first launched in China on October 13, 2025. Wikipedia+2ET Now+2
They’re meant to serve as top-tier “camera first” phones from Vivo, leveraging their partnership with ZEISS and high-end hardware. India Today+2Gadgets 360+2
2. Design, build & display
X300 (Base model):
- Display: 6.31″ LTPO AMOLED, flat screen, 1.5K class (roughly 1216×2640) with adaptive refresh rate (1-120Hz). Wikipedia+291mobiles+2
- Size & weight: ~150.57 × 71.92 × 7.95 mm, ~190 g. Wikipedia+1
- Build: Premium materials, also claimed IP68/IP69 dust & water resistance. 91mobiles+1
- Colours: Free Blue, Comfortable Purple, Pure Black etc. India Today+1
X300 Pro (Premium model):
- Display: Larger 6.78″ LTPO AMOLED, ~1260×2800 pixels, 120 Hz refresh. Gadgets 360+1
- Size & weight: ~161.98 × 75.48 × 7.99 mm, ~226 g. Wikipedia+1
- Same flat-style display, but more screen real‐estate (good for media, less compact).
- Colours: Wilderness Brown, Simple White, Free Blue, Pure Black. India Today
What this means in everyday use:
- The base X300 will feel more compact (good if you prefer one-hand use).
- The Pro is larger/heavier — better if you watch videos, edit photos, or want something more “flagship”.
- Both have premium build and features; IP rating is a plus (rare in many phones).
- The flat screen (instead of curved edges) may be a plus for some (less accidental touches).
3. Performance & core hardware
- Chipset: Both models use MediaTek Dimensity 9500 (a flagship-class chipset) paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. 91mobiles+3Gizbot+3Gadgets 360+3
- RAM/storage: Options include 12 GB / 16 GB LPDDR5x & storage 256 GB / 512 GB / 1 TB (for some markets) via UFS 4.1. India Today+2Wikipedia+2
- Software: Ships with OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. Gadgets 360+1
Connectivity & extras:
- 5G compatible (dual SIM) + Wi-Fi 7 in some listings. 91mobiles+1
- Ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor, USB-C, stereo speakers, NFC. Gizbot+1
- Signal amplifier chip / premium antenna tech referenced in some leaks for Pro model. Gizbot
Everyday implications:
- The performance headroom is very generous — you’re safe for media, gaming, multitasking for years.
- Big storage helps if you shoot lots of video/photos (which you probably will if camera is a focus).
- Software updates: Being a flagship gives you better odds of longer OS/security update support.
4. Cameras & imaging (the big highlight)
This is where the X300 series tries to leap ahead.
X300 (Base):
- Main camera: 200 MP Samsung ISOCELL HPB sensor, f/1.68 aperture, with OIS. 91mobiles+1
- Telephoto: 50 MP periscope, approx 3× optical zoom (various listings) and large sensor size. 91mobiles+1
- Ultra-wide: 50 MP Samsung JN1 ultra-wide. India Today
- Front: 50 MP. India Today
- ZEISS optics/co-development: yes, Zeiss T* coating and imaging chips. ET Now+1
X300 Pro (Premium):
- Main: 50 MP Sony LYT-828 sensor, f/1.57 aperture, OIS. India Today+1
- Telephoto: 200 MP periscope telephoto (≈85 mm equivalent) — very high resolution, big zoom ambition. Gizbot+1
- Ultra-wide: 50 MP Samsung JN1. Front: 50 MP. India Today
- Video & accessories: The Pro supports 8K recording in some regions. Wikipedia
Other camera-related features:
- Advanced computational photography: Vivo’s “V1/V3+” imaging chips mentioned for Pro model. India Today
- High-zoom capability (digital/optical combo) especially in Pro.
- Premium lens coatings/optics (ZEISS T*) for reducing reflections, enhancing clarity.
In real life:
- If you’re photographing landscapes, portraits, telephoto shots (say events, travel, wildlife) — the Pro offers something strong.
- The base X300 still has excellent hardware; maybe the difference is in the “pro-level” zoom and some premium extras.
- If you blog about travel, camera gear, mobile photography (fits your blog themes), you’ll appreciate highlighting how these sensors/optics differ in real scenes.
5. Battery, charging & durability
- X300: ~6,040 mAh battery. Support for 90 W wired fast charging + 40 W wireless charging. Gadgets 360+1
- X300 Pro: ~6,510 mAh battery. Same charging speeds (90W wired + 40W wireless). Gadgets 360
- Durability: IP68/IP69 for dust & water resistance mentioned in sources. Wikipedia
What to expect:
- With flagship chipset + efficient display, you’ll likely get a full day of use (and possibly more) with the bigger battery in the Pro.
- Wireless charging adds convenience (rare in some phones in this price-tier).
- Durability means less worry about rain/splash — useful if you use phone outdoors in varied conditions.
6. India launch & pricing context
- The series has appeared on the Indian BIS certification site — strong indication of an India launch. Gizbot
- Timeline: Expected in first week of December 2025 for India. Gizbot+1
- Price expectations in India:
- China launch pricing: For reference, X300 ~CNY 4,399 (~₹54,700 approximate) for 12+256GB. X300 Pro ~CNY 5,299 (~₹65,900) for base variant. India Today+1
What to watch in India:
- Whether Indian variants are identical to Chinese (some adjustments possible for battery, band support). Gadgets 360
- Real Indian pricing after taxes/imports—often higher than China base.
- Availability of storage/RAM variants suitable for Indian market.
- Support (service centres, spares) of such premium model in Madhya Pradesh region.
7. Pros & Cons — quick summary
Pros:
- Top-tier camera hardware & optics (especially if you care about photography).
- Premium build & design, with IP rating and flagship performance.
- High refresh LTPO display (adaptive refresh), strong battery & charge options.
- Good potential for future software support.
Cons / Things to consider:
- Premium price: If you don’t need all the camera/zoom bells & whistles, you might over-pay.
- Size/weight (especially the Pro): Less convenient for one-hand use.
- In India, availability, service, variant specs may differ or cost more.
- Sometimes “camera flagships” compromise on other things (e.g., global resale value, availability of accessories) — so check those.
8. Fit for your context (India, blogging, affiliate)
Since you run blogs and affiliate marketing, and you have experience in content creation:
- If you plan to review or use the X300 series for photography/travel blogging, then you’ll have a strong angle: “Mobile photography to pro camera shift” is a story.
- If your audience is in India: emphasise “When will India get it? At what price? How does it compare to competitors (e.g., Samsung S-series, Google Pixel X)?”
- For affiliate marketing: The premium segment means fewer buyers but possibly higher commissions. Highlight why someone should upgrade vs. mid-range alternatives.
- For web content: Your headline might include emotional + power words as you like (e.g., “Unleash Pro-level Photography: vivo X300 Series Redefines Mobile Imaging”).
