Vivo introduced the X300 series<\/a> this week and this year the family is smaller \u2013 there\u2019s no mid-sized vanilla model and no \u201cPro mini\u201d, just the small X300 and the big X300 Pro. Okay, there is likely an Ultra model<\/a> and an FE model<\/a> in the pipeline, but there\u2019s no denying that vivo streamlined its flagship product line.<\/p>\n

vivo X300 and X300 Pro highlights<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with the vivo X300 Pro<\/a> \u2013 it\u2019s very much an \u201cX200, part 2\u201d<\/a>, if we can put it that way. Dimensity 9400 gets swapped for 9500, UFS 4.0 for 4.1, 1\/1.28\u201d 50MP LYT-818 sensor for 1\/1.28\u201d 50MP LYT-282 sensor, 200MP HP9 telephoto sensor for 200MP HPB, 6,000mAh battery for 6,510mAh, you get the picture.<\/p>\n

vivo X300 Pro<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The X300 Pro (12\/256GB) is launching at CNY 5,300, the same price as the X200 Pro was at launch. We don\u2019t have details on a global rollout yet, but this heavily implies that the Pro model will cost the same as its predecessor<\/a> once it reaches new markets.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s look at the vivo X300<\/a> next \u2013 this is a successor to the X200 Pro mini<\/a> and not the X200<\/a>. We saw comments saying that this isn\u2019t a true \u201cPro mini\u201d since the main camera has a smaller sensor \u2013 1\/1.4\u201d but with 200MP resolution, instead of a 1\/1.28\u201d 50MP sensor. Without binning, the sensor size is definitely a downgrade (0.56\u00b5m vs. 1.22\u00b5m pixels), but with binning to 50MP, it\u2019s close enough.<\/p>\n

And the X300 does bring some upgrades \u2013 even the X200 Pro mini didn\u2019t have a USB-C 3.2 port, but the X300 does. The battery grows to 6,040mAh (+340mAh) and there are the shared upgrades in the series with a faster chipset (Dimensity 9500) and storage (UFS 4.1).<\/p>\n

vivo X300 upgrades over the X200 Pro mini<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The vivo X300 is (12\/256GB) launching at CNY 4,400, which is actually a bit cheaper than the CNY 4,700 that the X200 Pro mini cost at launch. Of course, the Pro mini never went global \u2013 overseas markets got the less capable X200 FE instead.<\/p>\n

Before you head to the voting booth, check out our vivo X300 and X300 Pro hands-on review<\/a>. We also tested the X300 Pro Photography Kit<\/a>. And here\u2019s what\u2019s new with OriginOS 6<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Alright, time to vote, starting with the vivo X300 Pro. Is this the right flagship for you or are you tempted to wait for the Ultra?<\/p>\n
