It is going to be an attractive option for those who want a small size phone but want flagship-level performance and cameras.
Design and Build
Talking about the design and build of Vivo X300 FE, it is very compact. The phone is only 7.99 millimeters thick and weighs 191 grams. It is made of aircraft-grade aluminum frame and AG glass back, which greatly increases the build quality of the phone. It has an IP68 + IP69 rating, so it is protected from dust and water. The color options include Moonlight White, Cool Purple and Graphite Black.
Specifications of Vivo X300 FE
The phone has a 6.31-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED panel as its display. 120Hz refresh rate, peak brightness can go up to 5000 nits and 2160Hz PWM dimming. Eye fatigue will be less and color accuracy will be better than before. It will be quite popular with those who like flat displays.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 has been used as the processor. It is made on a 3nm process, so both performance and battery efficiency are good. It is a flagship-level chipset with an Antutu score of more than 2.8 million. It is paired with 12 GB LPDDR5X RAM and 256 GB UFS 4.1 storage. This combination is expected to deliver fast app loading, smooth multitasking and strong overall performance.
It is powered by a 6500 mAh silicon-carbon battery, which is very efficient for a compact phone of this size. It supports 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging, along with reverse wireless charging support.
Camera System
Vivo’s X series is usually camera-focused and this phone has followed suit. The camera comes with ZEISS tuning. Three sensors on the back:
- 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 main sensor (with OIS)
- 8-megapixel ultrawide
- 50-megapixel 3x periscope telephoto lens
The front camera is a 50-megapixel AF sensor. There is also support for Vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 (sold separately), which can further increase the optical zoom. Vivo claims that this setup can give good performance in night photography, portraits and zoom shots.
Software and Update Policy
The Vivo X300 series has been seen running OriginOS 6 (based on Android 16) out of the box. Vivo X series phones are now getting 5 years of major Android OS updates and an additional 2 years of security patches. Vivo claims that a total of 7 years of software support will be available. Vivo is generally very fast in terms of software updates, so you don’t have to worry about updates.
