Vivo X300 series revealed with flagship chip and professional camera

After the success of Dimensity 9400 on the X200 series, Vivo continues to join hands with MediaTek to bring Dimensity 9500 to the X300 and X300 Pro. This is the top chip that has just reached over 4 million on AnTuTu, affirming its superior power.

On GeekBench, the Vivo X300 with 16GB RAM and Android 16 scored 3,177 points in single-core and 9,701 points in multi-core, demonstrating top performance.

Vivo X300 series will be strongly upgraded in hardware, especially the camera.

What's new in Vivo X300 series?

After a series of revelations from Han Boxiao – Product Director of Vivo – the Vivo X300 series is becoming the center of attention in the flagship group focusing on photography. The leaked image of the Vivo X300 shows the side angle of the device, emphasizing the philosophy of “thin and light but not compromising on the camera”. According to Mr. Boxiao, the X300 and X300 Pro will be equipped with a very high-resolution Zeiss sensor (up to 200MP) combined with a periscope telephoto lens, aiming for a long-distance shooting experience and good detail retention in all contexts.

The most notable point is the camera cluster that is almost flush with the back: the protrusion is only 1.28mm compared to the rear glass. To achieve this thinness, Vivo applies an advanced cold-etching process, using glass three times thicker than usual and requiring high precision machining. This approach helps the camera cluster remain sturdy, dissipate heat and resist impacts better without losing the continuity of the back.

Not stopping at the camera module, the body of the X300/X300 Pro is also strongly optimized. At the thinnest point, both are just over 7mm thick, aiming for a comfortable grip, easy pocketability and reduced hand fatigue when used for a long time. According to Vivo's representative, this is the company's "most significant" design effort on the X series, showing a combination of aesthetics, functionality and mobile photography at a high level.

One of the highlights that vivo emphasizes is the Cinematic Portrait Video capability, which supports portrait shooting at 4K 60fps. On the X300 Pro version, this feature is enhanced by the V3+ ISP image processor developed by Vivo, which helps to reproduce realistic colors, control sophisticated light and bring cinematic effects right on the smartphone.

Processing power comes from the top-of-the-line SoC Dimensity 9500

In addition to hardware power, the Vivo X300 series is also expected to integrate a file sharing feature similar to AirDrop, allowing direct connection to Mac or iPad without the need for cables or shared Wi-Fi. This is considered Vivo's effort to narrow the gap between Android and iOS, opening up a smoother cross-ecosystem experience.

With the existing pieces, the Vivo X300 portrait gradually becomes clear: a very high-resolution Zeiss camera system, a periscope telephoto lens for long-range shooting, an ultra-thin camera cluster thanks to cold-etching technology, a slim but sturdy body and the possibility of coming with the latest MediaTek processor. The combination of these factors shows that Vivo is aiming to put the X300 in the position of "top photography flagship" in the second half of the year.

Although not officially announced, many sources say that Vivo X300 series will be launched on October 13, 2025. With pioneering technologies from processing chips, cameras to connectivity, X300 series is expected to become a formidable competitor in the flagship market at the end of the year.
