The Vivo X300 series now has an official launch date, and the company isn’t being shy about what’s coming. These new flagships, powered by the Dimensity 9500 chip, will debut in China on October 13, just weeks after Xiaomi’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 phones.
Vivo X300 series to feature Dimensity 9500 and Pro model
With this launch, Vivo becomes the first to ship phones with MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500, a direct rival to Qualcomm’s latest. Early benchmarks suggest Qualcomm still holds a slight performance lead, but MediaTek’s scores are usually close behind once phones hit the market.
The X300 Pro has also been shown in official photos, confirming Vivo isn’t straying from last year’s design. That said, what’s inside is getting a major upgrade.
Apple expects the iPhone Fold to drive massive demand in 2026, pushing iPhone 18 production up by 10% across its suppliers.
Vivo X300 series camera specs get a serious boost
According to reliable Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station, this series introduces some of the most advanced camera hardware in any phone so far:
- Sony LYT 828 main sensor (1/1.28″, 50 MP, Hybrid Frame HDR)
- 200 MP Samsung HP8 periscope lens
- Sony LYT 602 periscope sensor
Together, these upgrades aim to leap past the last-gen Vivo flagships in mobile photography.
A closer look at what’s changing
Beyond the camera, the Vivo X300 series will include faster UFS 4.1 storage and a newly enhanced ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. These tweaks should make daily use smoother and more secure.
Not just a spec sheet showdown
With Xiaomi dropping its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 lineup just 18 days before, the X300 series enters a tight window. Even so, Vivo’s hardware-first strategy might give it the edge for photography enthusiasts.
Vivo X300 series is built to compete
No design shifts, no drama, just serious silicon and camera gains. The Vivo X300 series doesn’t need hype to land hard. Its spec sheet speaks loud enough.
