Vivo’s Upcoming X300 Could Redefine Compact Flagships in Asia — Here’s Everything We Know
Vivo X300 leaks ahead of launch with Dimensity 9500, 200MP camera, 90W charging, and a compact flagship design.
The upcoming Vivo X300 has just been fully exposed ahead of its official launch in China on October 13, thanks to a leak from China Telecom and an internal presentation slide. And if these details hold true, Vivo’s next compact flagship might be one of the most balanced phones we’ve seen in 2025 — sleek, powerful, and surprisingly versatile.
According to the leak, the Vivo X300 (model V2509A) measures 150.57 × 71.92 × 7.95 mm and weighs just 190 grams — refreshingly compact compared to the oversized flagships dominating the market. It will come in four stylish finishes: Freedom Blue, Leisure Purple, Lucky Colour, and Pure Black, showing once again that Vivo knows how to mix performance with aesthetics.
The phone sports a 6.31-inch BOE Q10+ OLED display with a 1.5K resolution (2640 × 1216 pixels) and a 120Hz refresh rate, ensuring sharp visuals and smooth animations whether you’re streaming, gaming, or just doom-scrolling through TikTok. Powering it all is MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500 chipset, paired with a large 6,040 mAh battery supporting 90W wired and 40W wireless charging — numbers that make fast charging feel almost instant.
Cameras have always been Vivo’s playground, and the X300 doubles down on that legacy. The rear setup features a 200MP Samsung HPB main camera with OIS, a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP Sony LYT-602 periscope telephoto lens — also equipped with optical stabilization. It supports 23mm and 50mm focal lengths, letting users toggle between wide and portrait-style perspectives. On the front, a 50MP Samsung JN1 selfie camera with a 92-degree field of view promises crisp selfies and group shots alike.
Behind the scenes, Vivo’s proprietary V3+ imaging chip handles image processing, boosting color accuracy, HDR depth, and overall detail. It’s a familiar formula for Vivo fans — powerful sensors paired with smart software — and it’s likely to compete directly with rivals like the Xiaomi 15 and Oppo Find X8 in Asia’s camera-focused smartphone wars.
Out of the box, the Vivo X300 will run Android 16 with OriginOS 6, offering an improved interface designed for customization and multitasking. Other notable features include a Universal Signal Amplifier 3.0, four Wi-Fi wall-penetrating chips for stronger indoor reception, dual speakers, an x-axis linear motor, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, USB 3.2 Gen 1, and an IP68 water and dust resistance rating — the full flagship checklist.
Storage options are generous, starting at 12GB + 256GB and going up to 16GB + 1TB. Vivo also confirmed support for a Zeiss 2.35× telephoto teleconverter, available as an optional accessory — a nice nod to serious photographers.
If these specs are accurate, the Vivo X300 could mark a strong return to form for compact flagship lovers — a category often overshadowed by oversized devices. It’s shaping up to be a small phone with big ambitions, blending the power of MediaTek’s latest silicon with Vivo’s imaging flair and design finesse.
The official reveal happens on October 13, and we’ll be watching closely to see if the final product lives up to the hype — or even exceeds it. For now, it’s safe to say: compact might just be cool again.
