Vivo X300 Ultra already available at a discount ahead of global launch

It didn’t take long. The Vivo X300 Ultra is available at a discount just a little over two weeks after its official announcement on 30 March. Anyone considering a Chinese import model may be in for a treat: At Tradingshenzhen, the Zeiss-branded camera flagship with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage is now listed for around $1,150, down from the initial $1,173.

If you need more storage, the 12 GB/512 GB variant can be had for as low as $1,232. Tradingshenzhen has likewise dropped the prices of the higher-end configurations with 16 GB/512 GB and 16 GB/1 TB, with the former now going for $1,349 and the latter for $1,478. All models are in stock right now, including the China-exclusive white color option. Also ready to ship is the Ultimate Photography Edition, which includes the camera kit and both telephoto extenders – though Tradingshenzhen still lists the product at its original price of $2,172.

If existing price-related leaks prove reliable, the global version of Vivo X300 Ultra is expected to officially retail at around this price without the photography kit. Although it’s unclear how long this offer will remain valid, Tradingshenzhen has notably introduced the deal just ahead of the preorder phase kicking off in several European countries. On 16 April, the official pricing will finally be revealed for these European countries, with the global Vivo X300 Ultra set to start shipping on 24 April.
