Has the Vivo X300 been discontinued in India less than six months after launch?

Interestingly, this possibility had already been flagged earlier by us around the time Vivo launched the X300 FE in India earlier this month. We’d pointed out how the standard X300 no longer fit within Vivo’s expanding flagship lineup and could either face a price correction or eventually be discontinued altogether. That prediction now seems to be coming true.

Vivo X300 out of stock on e-commerce platforms

The Vivo X300 is still available on the official website, but Flipkart and Amazon do not show stock currently. At the moment, we cannot positively comment whether it’s a temporary stock shortage or a gradual phase-out. The phone is either unavailable or difficult to find in many locations online, and there is still no indication that fresh inventory is on the way. Where it’s available, Vivo may simply be clearing remaining stock without planning a wider replenishment cycle.

If the phone has indeed been discontinued, that would make the X300 one of the shorter-lived flagship models in Vivo’s recent portfolio. The phone launched in India on December 2nd, 2025 with a starting price of Rs 75,999.

Is the Vivo X300 FE to blame?

The plausible reason behind the apparent discontinuation could be the X300 becoming awkwardly placed in Vivo’s own lineup. The Vivo X300 FE launched at Rs 79,999, placing it above the regular X300 in pricing despite carrying more sub-flagship specifications. Meanwhile, the standard X300 continued offering flagship hardware like the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, a more versatile 200MP triple-camera setup, and stronger video recording capabilities. The X300 started looking like the more complete flagship for less money, as the company didn’t announce any price hike for the standard model when it launched the X300 FE at a higher price.

For buyers comparing both devices side by side, the regular X300 often ended up looking like the more sensible buy unless battery life or the FE branding specifically mattered more. Once the newer model starts struggling against an older sibling inside the same portfolio, brands usually respond either through price changes or exits from the market.

This is also reflecting a larger trend in the Android space right now. Lineups are becoming more complicated with FE models, compact flagships, Ultra variants, gaming-focused editions, and camera-first devices all launching within months of each other. More choice sounds good in theory, but it also creates situations where products begin overlapping, which creates internal problems for the company.

For buyers still considering the X300, the current limited availability could actually make remaining units more attractive if they are still selling close to launch pricing. The bigger concern is uncertainty around replenishment and long-term availability going forward. It’s one of the fewer flagships still available at its launch price, so if you’ve been eyeing the premium segment, the remaining stock could be worth the buy.
