Vivo X300 Pro: New camera flagship now official with global launch teased and imports already available from $939
The Vivo X300 Pro is now official as the company's latest alternative to the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Galaxy S25 Ultra (curr. $934.99 on Amazon) before next year's rumoured X300 Ultra. As expected, the X300 Pro is one of the first smartphones to feature the Dimensity 9500 that MediaTek unveiled last month. For reference, the other is the X300, full launch details of which we have covered separately.
Unsurprisingly, the X300 Pro surpasses its non-Pro sibling in various areas. For instance, Vivo equips the former with a 6,510 mAh battery that supports 40 W wireless and 90 W wired charging. Moreover, the X300 Pro features a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display that outputs at 1,260 x 2,800 pixels with a 1-120 Hz variable refresh rate and a 94.85% screen-to-body ratio.
On top of that, the handset contains the following camera hardware within a 226 g and 161.98 x 75.48 x 7.9 mm housing:
- Primary: Sony LYT-828, 50 MP, 1/1.28-inch, f/1.57 aperture, 10.5 f-stops dynamic range, 24 mm equivalent focal length
- Ultra-wide-angle: Samsung ISOCELL JN1, 50 MP, 1/2.76-inch, f/2.0 aperture, 15 mm equivalent focal length
- Telephoto: Samsung ISOCELL HPB, 200 MP, 1/1.4-inch, f/2.67 aperture, 85 mm equivalent focal length
- Front-facing: Samsung ISOCELL JN1, 50 MP, f/2.0 aperture
The Vivo X300 Pro starts at CNY 5,299 (~$743) with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage and rises to CNY 6,699 (~$939) when opting for its 16 GB RAM and 1 TB storage variant. Alternatively, Vivo charges CNY 8,299 (~$1,164) for the latter with satellite connectivity and its Photographer Kit included.
Surprisingly, Vivo has hinted that the X300 Pro will join the X300 next month as part of a dedicated global launch event. The company has not shared full details yet, though. In the meantime, Giztop and Wondamobile are already offering the Vivo X300 Pro globally as an imported handset starting at $939 and $949, respectively. Please note that the X300 Pro runs the Chinese version of OriginOS 6, which will come with some restrictions like being unable to pair a Wear OS smartwatch. Google Play and Google Mobile Services are supported though, as are global banking apps.
