Introduction<\/p>\n

Today, we have the vivo X300 for review, a compact gem among a crowd of large slabs of Ultras, Maxes, Pros. Even better, this small flagship does not hold anything back. And the best part – it has already gone global!<\/p>\n

\"Vivo<\/p>\n

The vivo X300 series is out now, and it seems it has finally found its footing, and the regular X300 has finally found its identity. See, the X300 is not a sequel to the X200, or X200s, or X200 FE, but to the X200 Pro mini. And this was a smart move given how fragmented the X200 lineup was.<\/p>\n

Anyway, the X300 brings some great improvements over the X200 Pro mini – presumably the fastest Android hardware, a new 200MP primary camera, a revamped 50MP selfie with autofocus, and an improved battery and charging.<\/p>\n

But let’s rewind a bit and give you some context. The X300 is a compact flagship phone that is now available in some Asian countries and Europe. It has a 6.31-inch LTPO OLED screen with 1216p resolution, 10-bit color depth, and 120Hz dynamic refresh rate.<\/p>\n

\"Vivo<\/p>\n

The X300, just like the X300 Pro, utilizes MediaTek’s most powerful chip to date, one that was developed closely with vivo – the Dimensity 9500 with new generation ARM CPU cores and a brand-new ARM G1 Ultra GPU. There is also an industry-first dual UFS 4.1 configuration for the storage for higher performance.<\/p>\n

Then comes the camera setup. The X300 introduces a 200MP ISOCELL HPB-based main camera, followed by a 50MP 3x periscope telephoto and a 50MP AF ultrawide shooter. There is also a 50MP AF selfie cam. Vivo has bragged with 4K60 Portrait Cinematic videos, 4K120 HDR capturing, among plenty of other niceties.<\/p>\n

There is also a new generation of Si\/C battery (6,040mAh in Asia, 5,360mAh in Europe) with 90W wired, 40W wireless charging, plus options for reverse wired and wireless charging and bypass charging as well.<\/p>\n

The final bits worth mentioning are the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, the large vibration motor, Wi-Fi 7 support, and the heavily improved Origin OS 6 based on Android 16.<\/p>\n

Looking at the X300 specs sheet, vivo has done an amazing job in kitting out this phone with everything needed. <\/p>\n

The only potential issue is that the phone ships with a smaller battery capacity in Europe – 5360mAh vs 6040mAh in the rest of the world. We are reviewing the 6040mAh model, though outside of charging and battery life, our review findings should apply to both variants. <\/p>\n

Unboxing the vivo X300<\/p>\n

The vivo X300 arrives in a large black box that contains a 90W charger, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a color-matched protective case that has a soft and grippy finish. <\/p>\n

As expected, in the EU, the phone does not come with the charger bundled, but if you buy it directly from vivo, you get a charger separately as a free bonus.<\/p>\n

The phone also comes with a pre-applied protective folio on its screen, as is usually the case with all phones these days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Introduction Today, we have the vivo X300 for review, a compact gem among a crowd of large slabs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":282667,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-282666","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282666","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=282666"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/282666\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/282667"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=282666"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=282666"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=282666"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
