After making waves in China, the Vivo X300 Pro is now heading toward the Indian market. Vivo has been hinting at something big — and this phone really is. With a 200 MP telephoto camera made in partnership with Zeiss, a brand-new Dimensity 9500 processor, and a huge battery, it’s shaping up as one of Vivo’s most complete flagships yet.
If you’ve been waiting for a camera-centric phone that still delivers top-tier performance, this might be the one to watch.
India launch and expected price
As per Digit, the X300 Pro could arrive in India by the end of 2025. Early estimates point to a price somewhere between ₹90,000 and ₹1 lakh, placing it squarely in the premium zone.
However, Smartprix suggests that Vivo might start lower — possibly around ₹65,000 for the base model — depending on memory options. That’s a smart move if the company wants to undercut Samsung’s flagships while keeping its “premium” image intact.
Design and display
At first glance, the X300 Pro looks every bit the part. It carries Vivo’s clean, curved design language with a soft matte finish that catches light beautifully. Up front, there’s a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display running at 120 Hz with crisp 1.5 K resolution.
Vivo is using BOE Q10+ material this time, which means deeper blacks, stronger contrast, and better outdoor brightness. The “velvet glass” back gives a smooth, elegant touch — one of those phones you’ll want to use without a case, even if you probably shouldn’t.
Power and performance
Under the hood sits the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, a chip built to handle anything from heavy games to 8K video editing. The Verge notes that this processor is designed for AI-driven photography and energy efficiency, making it ideal for long shooting sessions.
You can expect up to 16 GB RAM and 1 TB of storage, plus fast LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage. Everyday performance? Practically instant. Add IP68 protection and an ultrasonic fingerprint reader, and you’ve got a durable flagship with finesse.
Cameras — the highlight
Let’s be honest — this is the reason most people are excited. The X300 Pro’s 200 MP Zeiss telephoto camera is joined by a 50 MP Sony LYT-828 main sensor. Together, they promise detailed photos with accurate color and dynamic range that can hold up against any rival.
According to Gizmochina, the Zeiss-engineered setup also supports a 2.35× external converter, extending zoom up to around 200 mm — almost like using a dedicated lens. There’s also CIPA 5.5-rated optical stabilization for sharper handheld shots, and the camera can shoot 4K 120 fps video with Dolby Vision HDR.
Whether you’re taking portraits, landscapes, or just testing how far that zoom goes, it’s built for serious photography.
Battery life and charging
All that hardware needs serious endurance, and Vivo has delivered. The X300 Pro packs a 6,510 mAh battery, which is larger than what most flagships offer. It supports 90 W fast charging and 40 W wireless charging, giving you nearly a full charge in under 30 minutes.
As Gadgets 360 reports, Vivo has optimized charging to reduce heat and preserve long-term battery health — something many heavy users will appreciate.
Software and experience
On the software front, you’ll get OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. The interface feels smoother and more refined than before, with smart animations and improved customization. Vivo has also worked on refining its camera app, adding Zeiss-style filters and pro-grade controls for manual shooters.
Rivals in India
The X300 Pro will enter a competitive field, facing off against the iQOO 13 Pro and Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. The iQOO delivers incredible Snapdragon power at a slightly lower price, while Samsung’s Ultra wins on display, stylus support, and software longevity.
Where Vivo could stand out is camera innovation. Its Zeiss partnership and advanced optics may appeal to those who care more about creative shooting than raw benchmark scores.
Why it matters
Vivo has slowly built a reputation in India for design and imaging excellence, and the X300 Pro feels like a milestone product. It blends professional-grade cameras, flagship hardware, and elegant craftsmanship into one package.
