Vivo is all set to expand its premium X-series lineup with the launch of the Vivo X300s in China on March 30th. The smartphone will debut alongside the Vivo X300 Ultra and the Vivo Pad 6 Pro, and the company has already begun teasing key highlights ahead of the official unveiling. While Vivo has confirmed a few specifications, a fresh leak now adds more detail to what could be one of its most feature-packed flagships yet. Successor to last year’s Vivo X200s, the X300s will act as the affordable alternative to the flagship X300 series.
The Vivo X300s is confirmed to pack a massive 7,100mAh battery, which should result in a good two-day usage. Most brands have started pushing battery capacities, so it’s not surprising to see Vivo do the same. The addition of 90W wired fast charging, along with a rumoured 40W wireless charging support, suggests the X300s is getting one of the best battery setups in the segment.
Vivo X300s display and camera details
On the front, the device is tipped to feature a 6.78-inch BOE Q10+ display with a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. This places it in line with other high-end Android flagships that prioritise smooth visuals, especially for gaming and multimedia consumption. It is also expected to feature a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint 2.0, which is what you usually get on flagships.
In terms of optics, the Vivo X300s appears to double down on camera performance, a key focus area for the brand’s X-series. The handset is expected to sport a triple rear camera setup co-engineered with Zeiss, headlined by a 200MP primary sensor, along with a 50MP ultra-wide camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens. Vivo has also teased a new colour science system, referred to as “Blueprint Native Color,” which could further enhance image processing and colour accuracy. For selfies and video calls, the phone is said to include a 50MP front-facing camera.
The build quality is also expected to see improvements, with the Vivo X300s tipped to feature a metal frame and carry IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.
With its combination of a large battery, high-resolution cameras, and a high-refresh-rate display, the Vivo X300s is shaping up to be a strong sub-flagship. Since it would cost less than the X300 flagship models, the X300s could be a good alternative for those who want a similar experience but don’t want to pay a premium.
More details, including pricing and availability, are expected to be revealed at the launch event next week. The device has already gone up for pre-orders in China. There’s no word on the device launching globally, yet.
