Vivo X300 outperforms Vivo X200 Ultra in early benchmark with global model spotted

Vivo is currently focusing on the Chinese launch of its next flagship smartphones. For context, the company is teasing the X300 and X300 Pro as Oppo works towards releasing the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro in the same market. Added to that, all four smartphones will feature the same Dimensity 9500 chipset that MediaTek is launching on September 22.

Now, what appears to be the global version of the Vivo X300 has surfaced on Geekbench. Incidentally, its Chinese counterpart landed on the same benchmarking platform about a month ago. In that time, single-core performance has jumped by 27.8% to 3,177. Meanwhile, multi-core performance has increased by 32.5%.

As a result, the Dimensity 9500 shown below scores over 30% higher in multi-core work than the Dimensity 9400 averages in our tests. Better still, the forthcoming chipset achieves 59% faster single-core performance in Geekbench 6. Moreover, the Vivo X300 outperforms the Vivo X200 Ultra in the same benchmarks, which averaged 2,976 and 9,284 with its Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 16 GB of RAM.

With that being said, the Vivo X300 trails some Snapdragon 8 Elite-backed smartphones like the Asus ROG Phone 9 Pro or the RedMagic 10S Pro (curr. $949 on Amazon). Regardless, the leaked benchmark indicates that Vivo will offer the X300 globally with 16 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, it remains to be seen when the Vivo X300 will be officially available outside China, or whether the X300 Pro will be released alongside it.
