After making their debut in China earlier this month, the vivo X300 and X300 Pro have now officially launched in Europe at an event in Vienna. These new flagships bring a refreshed design, upgraded cameras, and the power of MediaTek’s latest Dimensity 9500 processor.
Display and Charging
Both models support 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, ensuring fast top-ups. The standard vivo X300 sports a 6.31-inch display, while the X300 Pro gets a larger 6.82-inch screen. Both panels are 8T LTPO with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and also feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner for quick and secure unlocking.
Camera Upgrades
The vivo X300 comes with a 200MP Samsung HPB main sensor, a 50MP Sony LYT-602 telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultrawide camera.
The vivo X300 Pro, however, flips the setup: it uses a 200MP Samsung HPB telephoto camera, a 50MP Sony LYT-828 primary sensor, and a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultrawide lens.
Both models share the same 50MP Samsung JN1 selfie camera, promising sharp video calls and detailed self-portraits.
Software and Long-Term Updates
The global launch of the X300 series also marks the first international rollout of OriginOS, vivo’s custom interface. Both devices ship with Android 16-based OriginOS 6, and vivo is committing to five years of OS updates plus seven years of security patches — a strong promise for long-term users.
Colors, Battery, and Availability
The X300 will be available in Phantom Black and Halo Pink, while the X300 Pro will come in Phantom Black and Dune Brown.
One notable change from the Chinese variants is the smaller battery sizes in Europe due to certification hurdles. The European X300 gets a 5,360mAh battery (down from 6,040mAh), while the X300 Pro carries a 5,440mAh unit (down from 6,510mAh).
Both phones are available for purchase starting today in Europe.
Pricing and Launch Offers
- vivo X300: €1,049 for the 12GB/256GB model, €1,099 for the 16GB/512GB model.
- vivo X300 Pro: €1,399 for the single 16GB/512GB variant.
As a launch promotion, vivo is offering a €100 discount coupon plus a free charger. There’s also an optional telephoto extender kit priced at €600, but early buyers can grab it for half the price.
The Bottom Line
With powerful cameras, long-term software support, and one of MediaTek’s most advanced chips, the vivo X300 series is aiming to compete with the best Android flagships in Europe. While the reduced battery sizes may disappoint some, the aggressive launch offers and premium features could make these devices stand out in a crowded market.
