vivo X300 Pro specs, features and buying guide
The vivo X300 Pro is a camera-first flagship: a 6.78-inch AMOLED display with an LTPO refresh rate between 1 and 120 Hz, a MediaTek Dimensity 9500, and three ZEISS-branded rear cameras led by a 200 MP telephoto. It suits someone who wants long-range reach and a big battery, and who is ready to look past a US-market gap.
The camera hardware is the reason this phone exists in its segment. vivo lists a 50 MP main camera on a Sony LYT-828 sensor at f/1.57, a 50 MP ultra wide on a JN1 sensor at f/2.0, and a 200 MP telephoto on an HPB sensor at f/2.67 with 3.5x optical zoom and optical stabilisation, all three branded under ZEISS.
The rest of the specification is current-flagship work: a 6.78-inch AMOLED at 2800 x 1260 and 452 ppi with 4,500-nit local peak brightness, 16 GB of LPDDR5X Ultra memory with 512 GB of UFS 4.1 storage, and a 6,510 mAh battery charged at 90 W over a cable or 40 W on a pad.
One thing has to be said plainly, and vivo’s own site is the source for it. vivo’s official country selector does not list the United States, and no vivo US sales or support listing for the X300 Pro was found. It is sold in vivo’s global, India and Europe markets. Everything below is vivo’s published data, and where vivo does not state a value, this sheet leaves it out rather than filling it in.
What to check before you buy the vivo X300 Pro
The market is the first question, because it changes the rest of the decision. vivo sells the X300 Pro through its global, India and Europe channels, and its country selector does not include the United States, so a US buyer is looking at an import. That affects how the phone is serviced, which radio bands the version you buy covers, and which accessories and regional software it ships with.
The second thing to check is the battery figure, because vivo publishes two. Its global and India specification pages list 6,510 mAh typical and state that the figure applies to markets outside Europe, while vivo’s Europe page lists 5,440 mAh typical for the same model name. Whichever region you are buying from, that is the number your device is built to.

Key features explained
A 200 MP telephoto with ZEISS branding
The long camera is the standout: a 200 MP sensor at f/2.67 with autofocus, optical image stabilisation and 3.5x optical zoom, which vivo markets under the ZEISS APO name. A sensor that dense at that focal length is unusual, and the optical zoom figure is credited to vivo’s India specification page rather than inferred from the lens.
The main camera is stabilised, not just big
vivo calls the main camera a ZEISS Gimbal-Grade 50 MP module on a Sony LYT-828 sensor at f/1.57 with optical image stabilisation. It is the widest aperture in the system, which is what makes it the low-light default; the ultra wide sits at f/2.0 with autofocus and a 119-degree view.
A battery with two official figures
vivo lists 6,510 mAh typical for markets outside Europe and 5,440 mAh typical on its Europe page. Charging is 90 W wired FlashCharge and 40 W wireless on both. Publishing both figures rather than one is the reason this sheet lists them separately instead of picking a favourite.
IP68 and IP69, which are not the same thing
vivo rates the X300 Pro to both standards. IP68 covers dust and immersion; IP69 covers protection against high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. Together they describe a phone built for wet conditions, though neither rating is a licence to take it swimming.
The camera system, sensor by sensor
vivo’s specification pages are specific about two of the three sensors and silent about the third maker, which is worth passing on rather than papering over. The main camera is a Sony LYT-828, the ultra wide is a JN1 and the telephoto is identified as an HPB; vivo does not name the maker of the HPB on the pages reviewed.
The front camera is a 50 MP JN1 at f/2.0 with autofocus and ZEISS branding, which is a higher-resolution selfie camera than most flagships carry. Between them, the four cameras cover 119 degrees at the wide end and 3.5x optical at the long end.

Display, brightness and what 452 ppi buys you
The panel is a 6.78-inch AMOLED at 2800 x 1260, which vivo measures at 452 ppi, with an LTPO refresh rate adapting between 1 and 120 Hz. LTPO is the reason a phone this size can hold a high refresh rate without draining the battery during a static screen, because the display drops to 1 Hz when nothing is moving.
vivo also publishes a 4,500-nit local peak brightness figure. As with every peak number, it describes small highlights rather than a full-screen white, so read it as outdoor legibility. The body is 161.98 by 75.48 by 7.99 mm at 226 g, which is thin for the battery inside it.
Software, connectivity and the small omissions
The operating system is OriginOS 6 on Android 16, with a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and an infrared blaster. vivo lists Hi-Fi audio as not supported and FM as not supported, and states that storage is not expandable, so the 512 GB in the reviewed configuration is what you get.
One practical detail belongs in a buying guide rather than a footnote: vivo says the phone supports Bluetooth and digital USB-C earphones but not analogue wired earphones, and that 3.5 mm analogue headphones need a separately purchased USB-C adapter with a built-in DAC. If you still use wired headphones, that is an extra item to plan for.
Where the X300 Pro fits against its own family and the US market
vivo positions the X300 Pro as the camera-led option in its X300 line, and the specification backs that up: a 200 MP telephoto is the part most phones in this class do not have. If you compare it with other flagships, compare the optical zoom factors and aperture sizes, because those are the figures the manufacturers publish and the ones that change what a photo looks like.
The market question is separate from the hardware. vivo’s country selector omits the United States, and its international-warranty eligibility page does not cover the US either, so a US buyer is importing. That is not a reason to avoid the phone, but it is a reason to check the version, the bands and the support path before ordering rather than after.
Who should buy the vivo X300 Pro, and who should skip it
Who should buy the vivo X300 Pro
- You want long-range reach from a 200 MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom.
- You shoot in low light and want the widest aperture in the system as your main camera.
- You want a large battery and fast charging: 6,510 mAh with 90 W wired outside Europe.
- You are comfortable importing, and you have checked the version and its bands.
Who should skip it
- You need a phone sold and supported in the US — vivo’s country selector does not list it.
- You want expandable storage, which vivo states is not supported.
- You use 3.5 mm analogue headphones without wanting a USB-C DAC adapter.
- You need the battery figure to be the same in every market; vivo publishes two.

Buying the vivo X300 Pro
Work out the region first. vivo’s site divides its products by market, and the X300 Pro is listed for its global, India and Europe channels. The version you buy decides the battery capacity you get, because vivo publishes 6,510 mAh outside Europe and 5,440 mAh on its Europe page, and it also decides which bands the phone supports — something neither this page nor vivo’s global specification can settle for your carrier.
Then decide whether the camera is worth the compromises. You are buying a 200 MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom, a stabilised 50 MP main camera and a 6,510 mAh battery in a 7.99 mm body; in exchange you take no expandable storage, no published speaker configuration, and a wired-headphone situation that needs an adapter. If the camera is not the reason, a mainstream US-market phone will be simpler to own.
