Third-party reviews

What we like about vivo X300 Pro (12GB + 256GB)

  • Exceptional camera quality, particularly the 200MP telephoto and main cameras, with great zoom capabilities and natural color reproduction (when Zeiss Natural mode is used).
  • Outstanding display: very bright (up to 4500 nits peak), vibrant, sharp, and supports high refresh rates (120Hz LTPO AMOLED) and eye-comfort features like DC dimming.
  • Excellent battery life and fast charging, with the global/Asian models housing a large 6,510 mAh battery that often lasts over a day with heavy use and supports 90W wired FlashCharge.
  • Smooth and powerful performance for daily tasks, gaming, and multitasking, thanks to the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor and OriginOS 6.
  • Premium build quality and design, featuring an aluminum frame, a comfortable matte glass back that resists fingerprints, and IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance.
  • Improved software experience with OriginOS 6 (compared to Funtouch OS), offering better customization, smoothness, and useful features like multi-device connectivity.
  • Good quality stereo speakers that are loud and well-balanced.
  • Fast and accurate ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.
  • Long software support commitment, with 5 major OS upgrades and 7 years of security patches promised by Vivo.

What we don't like about vivo X300 Pro (12GB + 256GB)

  • The phone is heavy and a bit bulky, with the large camera module making it feel top-heavy for some users.
  • Inconsistent low-light video performance and occasional issues with image processing (e.g., occasional softness at mid-zoom levels, AI over-smoothing of skin tones by default).
  • The customizable left shortcut button can be unreliable or difficult to press, and mapping options are limited for some users.
  • The full battery capacity (6,510 mAh) is not available in all regions (e.g., the EU model has a smaller 5,440mAh battery).
  • Video quality, particularly in low light or with the front-facing camera, lacks detail compared to some competitors.
  • The operating system, while improved, can have some design quirks or feel less refined than competitors like OxygenOS or iOS.
  • Slower-than-average OTG (On-The-Go) transfer speeds.
  • The bundled charger is sometimes a USB-A variant, which is considered a minor inconvenience by some users.

Verdict

The Vivo X300 Pro (12GB + 256GB) is a camera-centric flagship smartphone, distinguished by its powerful MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor and a versatile ZEISS-powered triple camera system featuring an exceptional 200MP APO telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom and a 50MP main sensor, delivering excellent photo quality in various conditions. It boasts a vibrant 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 4500 nits peak brightness, a large 6510mAh battery (in some regions like India, while the EU gets 5440mAh), 90W wired and 40W wireless fast charging, and an IP68/IP69 rating for water resistance. Pros include an outstanding camera system with lifelike portrait tones, top-tier performance that stays cool during heavy use, a premium build quality, and long-term software support; however, cons include a heavy build, underwhelming stereo speaker quality lacking low-end sound, and low-light video recording quality that lags behind some competitors.
