vivo has finally changed! Read our vivo X300 Pro review covering the new OriginOS, the powerful Dimensity 9500 chipset, and the stunning 200MP periscope camera.
For years, vivo’s flagship hardware has been undisputed, but the software often felt like it was playing catch-up. That changes today. The vivo X300 Pro has officially landed, and it brings the one thing fans have been begging for: OriginOS.
1. The Software Revolution: Farewell Funtouch, Hello OriginOS
The biggest news isn’t just the hardware; it’s the soul of the phone. The vivo X300 Pro ditches the basic feel of Funtouch OS for the highly acclaimed OriginOS.
- Visual Aesthetics: Stunning glass-morphism effects and fluid animations.
- Customization: Fully customizable lock screens, resizable widgets, and interactive “Origin Islands” for notifications.
- Smoothness: Enhanced transition effects that make the 120Hz LTPO display feel faster than ever.
2. Performance: The Dimensity 9500 Monster
Under the hood, the vivo X300 Pro is a beast. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, it sets new records:
- Antutu Benchmark: Scoring a massive 3 million+ points (Antutu v11).
- Gaming: Effortlessly runs Genshin Impact at maximum settings with a stable 59 FPS.
- Memory: Comes with a generous 16GB RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring zero lag even with heavy multitasking.
3. Professional-Grade Photography
The partnership with ZEISS continues to push boundaries. The camera setup on the X300 Pro is designed for enthusiasts:
- Main Sensor: Features the new Sony LYTIA 828 for incredible low-light clarity.
- The Zoom King: A 200MP Periscope lens that captures sharp details even from the back row of a concert.
- Photography Kit: For those who want more, vivo offers an optional grip and lens attachment kit to turn your smartphone into a dedicated DSLR-style camera.
4. Display and Battery Life
The hardware excellence extends to the exterior:
- Battery: A massive 6510 mAh silicon-carbon battery that lasts well over a day.
- Charging: 90W wired charging (63% in 30 mins) and 40W wireless charging support.
- Screen: A 6.78-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display with extreme peak brightness for perfect outdoor visibility.
5. Pricing and Verdict
The vivo X300 Pro price is set at Rp18,999,000 (approx. $1,200 USD). While it sees a slight price increase from the previous generation, the addition of OriginOS and the hardware leaps make it a “recommended” flagship for 2026.
Final Thought: If you previously avoided vivo because of the software, the X300 Pro is here to change your mind. It is now a complete package—hardware monster, software beauty.
