Hands-on with Vivo X300 Pro: Reasons not to buy Xiaomi 17 Pro Max

Vivo's X300 series is thin and light, while the X300 Pro is equipped with a 200 MP periscope camera and supports detachable lenses to increase zoom capabilities.

Vivo has just introduced the X300 and X300 Pro, their flagship smartphone duo this year in the Chinese market. In this generation, the manufacturer focuses on upgrading the design, camera and AI experience. In addition, the device will be sold in Vietnam in November. Previously, Vivo's flagship lines had a large domestic user community and were highly appreciated for their impressive photography functions. However, the informal goods were not supported by the goods, or had software errors, and were late in announcing.

Compared to its main competitor Xiaomi 17 Pro/Pro Max, which has no official distribution plan, Vivo's product has an advantage. X300 and X300 Pro have an ultra-thin design, 7.95 mm and 7.99 mm thick, respectively. The device uses MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor, IP69 water/dust resistance standard, Android 16 operating system with OriginOS 6 interface, supporting many AI features. The company adds separate processors for image processing.

The design of the X300 series is reminiscent of the iPhone or Oppo Find X8 with rounded corners and flat aluminum edges. The X300 Pro's screen is 6.78 inches (2,800 x 1,260 pixel resolution) with a new generation OLED panel from BOE.

The X300 Pro is equipped with a 6,510 mAh battery, supporting up to 90 W wired charging and 40 W wireless charging. In some markets, the device only has a 5,540 mAh battery to meet regulations. Compared to its competitor Xiaomi 17 Pro, the device's capacity is lower. However, the actual experience depends on the software and optimization capabilities.

The camera is the biggest improvement of the X300 Pro compared to its predecessor. The main lens on the device has a resolution of 50 MP, Sony LYT-828 sensor (1 / 1.28 inch size, 24 mm focal length, f / 1.57 aperture). Meanwhile, the 50 MP ultra-wide-angle camera uses the Samsung JN1 sensor.

The X300 Pro continues to be equipped with a 200 MP periscope camera with a focal length of 85 mm, using the Samsung Isocell HPB sensor. In which, B stands for Blue, the keyword representing Vivo. This sensor version is customized by the Korean company for its partners. Vivo representatives said that this lens improves anti-shake and focusing capabilities compared to the X200 Pro sensor.

The software is optimized by Vivo, allowing the X300 Pro to record 4K@120 fps quality videos with Dolby Vision, in addition to 4K@60 fps cinema mode. It also has the function of recording with 10-bit Log standard, supporting post-production. Files from this device are among the top of Android manufacturers, second only to ProRes LOG from Apple.

All three rear cameras of the X300 Pro were developed by Vivo in collaboration with Zeiss. Meanwhile, the front camera on the device uses a Samsung JN1 sensor, with a resolution of 50 MP.

Vivo also introduced a photography accessory kit for the X300 Pro, including an extension lens, a case, an adapter mount, a grip, and a strap. The lens allows for an extension of the focal length from 85 mm to 200 mm, supporting multiple shooting modes. Vivo confirmed that it will sell this accessory globally. This support costs 1,000 yuan in China.

In terms of configuration, the X300 Pro supports up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of internal memory. The device weighs 226 grams, supports 2 stereo speakers, Bluetooth 6.0 standard, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1. Color options include black, copper, blue and white.

Compared to the X300 Pro, the X300 has a smaller screen measuring 6.31 inches, with a resolution of 2,640 x 1,216 pixels. The device still uses the Dimensity 9500 chip, up to 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage.

Due to its small size, the camera cluster on the X300 feels quite large. The device has 3 cameras including a 200 MP main camera (Isocell HPB sensor), a 50 MP ultra-wide-angle camera (JN1 sensor) and a 50 MP periscope camera (LYT-602 sensor).

Despite its compact size, the X300 still has a 6,040 mAh battery, up to 90 W wired charging and 40 W wireless charging. Compared to its predecessor, the USB-C port on the X300 uses the USB 3.2 standard for faster speeds, along with an under-screen fingerprint sensor.

Vivo X300 weighs 190g, 5 color options including black, blue, pink, purple and red. In China, the product has a starting price of about 620 USD for the 12/256 GB RAM/ROM option. With X300 Pro, the device costs about 745 USD with the 12/256 GB option.
