Display, Performance, and Key Specifications
The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro share the same MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset found in their Chinese counterparts — a top-tier processor that delivers strong performance across gaming, multitasking, and AI-driven tasks. The standard X300 features a 6.31-inch display, while the X300 Pro steps up to a larger 6.82-inch panel. Both use an 8T LTPO technology with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring fluid scrolling and responsive touch input.
Security is handled by an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner embedded under the display. Charging is impressively fast on both models, with support for 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging — so you spend less time tethered to a wall.
On the software side, the global variants ship with OriginOS based on Android 16. Vivo has committed to providing 5 years of OS updates and 7 years of security patch updates, putting it on par with the update promises from Samsung and Google.
Camera System: 50MP and 200MP Lenses
Cameras are where the two phones diverge most noticeably, and both configurations are impressive in their own right.
The Vivo X300 leads with a 200MP primary camera using a Samsung HPB sensor, paired with a 50MP Sony LYT-602 telephoto lens and a 50MP ultrawide camera. The emphasis here is on high-resolution stills from the main shooter.
The Vivo X300 Pro flips the formula: it uses a 50MP Sony LYT-828 primary sensor — Sony's larger, more light-efficient chip — while placing the 200MP Samsung HPB sensor in the telephoto position. The ultrawide slot is filled by a 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor. This setup prioritises zoom and versatility over raw megapixel count from the main lens.
Both phones share the same 50MP front-facing camera with a Samsung JN1 sensor, so selfie quality is consistent across the range.
Camera Comparison at a Glance
Standard X300: 200MP (main) + 50MP telephoto + 50MP ultrawide. X300 Pro: 50MP (main, Sony LYT-828) + 200MP telephoto + 50MP ultrawide. Both: 50MP selfie camera with Samsung JN1 sensor.
Battery: The Key Difference Between Global and China Variants
The most significant change Vivo made for the European market is battery capacity. The Vivo X300 global variant carries a 5,360mAh battery, compared to the 6,040mAh unit in the Chinese model — a reduction of 680mAh. The Vivo X300 Pro global variant carries a 5,440mAh battery, down from 6,510mAh in China, a reduction of over 1,000mAh.
Despite the downgrade, the 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging speeds remain intact, meaning top-up times stay quick even with the smaller cells. Whether the reduced capacity will meaningfully affect daily battery life remains to be seen in real-world testing.
Colour Options
The Vivo X300 is available in Phantom Black and Halo Pink. The Vivo X300 Pro comes in Phantom Black and Dune Brown.
