What’s New in the X300 Series

The Pro’s ZEISS-tuned telephoto complements a strong main sensor and ultrawide, enabling more versatile telephoto and creative options for photographers. The X300 offers a compact flagship experience without sacrificing core flagship internals, appealing to users who want a smaller device with premium camera capabilities.
Other notable upgrades include the Dimensity 9500 chipset, which Vivo positions as a strong competitor against other high-end flagships, and LTPO 120Hz displays that balance smoothness with power efficiency. The dual-SIM compatible models support high-speed charging and robust wireless charging, addressing users who rely on quick power top-ups during busy days.
Launch and Availability in India
As of now, Vivo has not officially announced the India launch date for the X300 Pro or X300. The company typically reveals India-specific pricing and availability closer to a regional release window, often with dedicated launch events or press announcements. Until Vivo confirms Indian pricing, regional fans should monitor official Vivo India channels for updates.
Based on the Chinese market pricing, the X300 Pro started at CNY 5,299 (12/256) and went up to CNY 6,699 (16/1TB), while the X300 started at CNY 4,399 (12/256) and went up to CNY 5,999 (16/1TB). Regional pricing in India will depend on duties, taxes, and Vivo’s regional strategy, so travelers and enthusiasts should await official confirmation rather than extrapolate exact numbers.
Bottom Line
The X300 Pro and X300 signal Vivo’s intent to lead with camera technology and flagship performance in a competitive market. For photographers who crave high-resolution sensors, robust charging, and a premium display experience in a modern, feature-rich package, these devices are positioned as compelling options once they land in India with confirmed prices and release dates.
