Vivo has officially launched its all-new camera-centric smartphones – the Vivo X300 and Vivo X300 Pro -in China. These devices are the successors to last year’s Vivo X200 and X200 Pro. With powerful specifications, these phones place a strong emphasis on photography.
The Vivo X300 series is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset and brings significant camera and performance upgrades over its predecessors.
Telephoto Extender Support
Both the X300 and X300 Pro support telephoto extenders, a feature first introduced with the Vivo X200 Ultra. These extenders can be attached using a special photography kit case that Vivo offers, providing extended reach and versatility for mobile photography enthusiasts.
Camera Upgrades
Vivo X300 Pro
The Vivo X300 Pro receives the most significant camera upgrade, featuring a Zeiss triple-camera setup:
- Main Camera: 50MP LYT828 sensor with 1/1.8″ size and f/1.75 aperture.
- Telephoto Camera: 200MP 1/1.4″ Samsung HPB sensor, co-developed by Vivo and Samsung.
- Ultrawide Camera: 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor.
Front Camera: The selfie camera also uses the same Samsung JN1 sensor found in the ultrawide camera, offering a notable upgrade from the 32MP front camera in the Vivo X200 Pro.
Vivo X300
The Vivo X300 features a different but still powerful camera configuration:
- Main Camera: 200MP Samsung HPB sensor (same as the telephoto sensor on the X300 Pro).
- Telephoto Camera: 50MP Sony LYT602 sensor.
- Ultrawide Camera: 50MP Samsung JN1 sensor.
Front Camera: 50MP sensor, providing a strong upgrade from previous models.
Display and Design
The Vivo X300 features a 6.3-inch LTPO display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This makes it significantly more compact than previous models, which came with a 6.67-inch screen. It appears that the X300 replaces the Vivo X200 Pro Mini, a variant that was never launched in India.
Performance: MediaTek Dimensity 9500
Both the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset and offer up to 16GB of RAM. This marks a performance boost over last year’s X200 series, which was equipped with the Dimensity 9400.
