What customers don't like about vivo Y300 GT (12GB + 512GB)

  • No 3.5mm headphone jack.
  • No microSD card slot for expandable storage.
  • Disappointing camera video recording capabilities, specifically lacking 4K at 60fps and only offering 1080p for the front camera.
  • Average or mixed camera quality in general according to some users, despite the high-resolution main sensor.
  • Lack of USB 3.0+ output or DP Alt Mode support for connecting an external monitor.

Verdict

The Vivo Y300 GT is a performance-focused mid-range 5G smartphone featuring a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 8400 processor, a 6.78-inch 144Hz AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, and a massive 7,620mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. Key pros include the high-refresh-rate, ultra-bright (5,500 nits peak brightness) display, the large battery capacity, generous 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and 512GB UFS 3.1 storage configuration, and useful extras like OIS on the 50MP main camera, stereo speakers, NFC, and an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. Potential cons include the use of a 2MP depth sensor for the dual camera setup (lacking an ultrawide lens), a plastic frame, and the absence of a 3.5mm audio jack or expandable storage.
