In addition to announcing the launch date, vivo also revealed that the X300 Ultra will be available in India in Victory Green and Eclipse Black colors. The flagship will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC, pack a 6,600 mAh battery with 100W wired charging support, and feature the same rear camera setup as the global and Chinese X300 Ultra, including a 200MP primary camera, a 200MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultrawide camera.
The Indian X300 Ultra will run OriginOS 6 out of the box and receive OS upgrades for five years and security updates for seven years. The smartphone will have 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage onboard, but it’s unclear whether additional memory options will be available in India.
While the vivo X300 Ultra will have two color options in India, the X300 FE will be offered in three colors – Noir Black, Lilac Purple, and Urban Olive, which could be India-exclusive at launch.
vivo previously confirmed that the X300 FE will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip. Today, the brand revealed the smartphone will be 7.99mm thin, weigh 191 g, and have a 6,500 mAh battery under the hood with 90W charging support. It also supports bypass charging and will receive the same software support as the X300 Ultra.
The Indian X300 FE will feature four cameras – a 50MP primary (Sony IMX921), a 50MP telephoto (Sony IMX882, 3x optical zoom), an 8MP ultrawide (110˚ FOV), and a 50MP selfie (92˚ FOV). All cameras, except the ultrawide camera, are co-developed with ZEISS.
The vivo X300 Ultra will be compatible with the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra and vivo Imaging Grip Kit, while the X300 FE will be compatible with the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 and vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Accessories Set. These accessories will be sold separately.
Judging by the specs and features revealed by vivo, it appears the Indian X300 FE is a combination of Russian and global X300 FE models. The Indian model’s thickness, weight, and ultrawide camera’s FOV come from the Russian version, while the design, ZEISS features, bypass charging support, and telephoto extender support come from the international model.
