Vivo has officially launched the highly anticipated X300 and X300 Pro smartphones in India, marking a major shift for the brand as it introduces OriginOS 6—previously exclusive to China—to international users for the first time. The new X-series flagships bring notable upgrades in performance, imaging, design, and long-term software support, directly positioning Vivo to compete with premium rivals in India’s flagship segment.
Powerful Performance With MediaTek Dimensity 9500
Both the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro are powered by MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9500 chipset, built to challenge Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. This processor has already shown strong performance in the OPPO Find X9 lineup. Vivo’s software tuning, combined with sophisticated thermal and power optimization, is expected to bring further improvements—details of which will be clearer upon full reviews.
OriginOS 6 Makes Its Global Debut
A standout highlight of the series is OriginOS 6, replacing Funtouch OS globally for the first time. The new interface focuses on a minimalist design, reduced animation clutter, faster transitions, and a more fluid user experience.
Vivo also announced five years of major OS updates and seven years of security patches, matching Samsung and Google, and signalling a stronger commitment to long-term reliability.
Refined Design and Displays
The X300 series retains Vivo’s signature circular camera module but introduces smoother edges, slimmer bezels, and a matte finish for better grip.
Vivo X300: 6.31-inch 8T LTPO AMOLED, compact flagship experience
Vivo X300 Pro: 6.78-inch AMOLED with 120Hz adaptive refresh
Both models finally upgrade to ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensors, improving speed and accuracy over optical sensors used in prior X-series generations.
Major Camera Upgrades With Zeiss Collaboration
Photography remains the heart of the X300 lineup. Vivo continues its deep partnership with Zeiss, offering hardware-backed imaging enhancements and dedicated imaging processors.
Vivo X300 Camera Setup:
200MP Samsung HPB main sensor
50MP telephoto
50MP ultrawide
Vivo X300 Pro Camera Setup:
200MP telephoto system using the HPB sensor
50MP Sony LYT-828 main camera

Both phones offer a 50MP front camera, and the Pro model is supported by the VS1 and VS+ imaging chips for enhanced computational photography.
New features include:
4K 120fps Dolby Vision recording on all rear cameras
Expanded 200MP shooting modes
Improved low-light algorithms
New video styles and creative tools
Vivo is also selling a Zeiss 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit for photography enthusiasts.

Indian variants receive the higher-capacity battery configurations seen in China:
