Reasons to buy the Vivo X300 Pro
Terrific primary and telephoto cameras
The 50MP Sony Lytia LYT-828 main sensor and the 200MP Samsung HPB telephoto lens on the Vivo X300 Pro steal the show. The primary camera captures rich detail, wide dynamic range, and natural skin tones. The telephoto lens with up to 3.5x optical zoom gives you crisp shots with good contrast and satisfying colour reproduction. 10x zoom works well too, but the images might appear a little soft. It’s still helpful when you want to take distant shots and the subject is too far.

The ZEISS extender adds real creative range
The Vivo X300 Pro comes with a ZEISS 2.35x telephoto extender kit, which is available separately at Rs 18,999. With the lens extender, the Vivo X300 Pro’s 85mm 200MP telephoto lens upgrades to a 200mm focal length and beyond. This lets you capture even better close-ups and portraits from a distance. We enjoyed capturing some stunning close-ups of animals and portraits without losing any detail.
Excellent battery life and fast charging
The Vivo X300 Pro packs a 6,510mAh battery, which is one of the largest you’ll find in this price segment. The smartphone comfortably lasts an entire day with around 50 percent remaining on moderate usage. This is typical usage including lots of social media browsing, checking emails, and taking photos. So you’re still left with enough to start the next day with the Vivo X300 Pro. The bundled 90W charger also takes only around 40 minutes to get from 20 to 100 percent, so you’re getting really fast charging too.
Smooth performance with refined OriginOS
The MediaTek Dimensity 9500-powered Vivo X300 Pro handles everyday tasks with ease. Its new OriginOS 6 software, making its global debut on the X300 Pro, adds to the experience. Compared to FuntouchOS, OriginOS feels quicker and more polished, with smoother animations that make the interface feel more refined. It also offers more customisation, including new lockscreen wallpapers and resizable folders. Origin Island is also genuinely useful, providing live updates, contextual actions, and a clean, visually appealing layout with subtle blur, bounce, and light-reflection effects.
Reasons to skip the Vivo X300 Pro
Speakers lack clarity and depth
This is something that might seem trivial to some but it does effect one’s use of the smartphone, especially if you’re watching shows, movies, or listening to music. The Vivo X300 Pro comes with a set of stereo speakers, but unfortunately the audio lacks depth and clarity. It’s quite disappointing especially for a flagship smartphone that costs over a lakh.
Runs slightly warm under stress
The Vivo X300 Pro is excellent with its performance, despite holding slightly lower scores than its Snapdragon rivals. However, we did notice that the phone tends to gets slightly warmer during gaming sessions. This is particularly in comparison to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered OnePlus 15. So its thermals aren’t the best, at least among the top flagship performers.
