The anticipation for Vivo’s next flagship is intensifying as new leaks reveal ambitious upgrades in the upcoming X300 Pro. Early information hints at a device that isn’t just an iterative update, but a genuine attempt to redefine expectations for battery life and mobile photography.
Large Battery Could Set a New Pace
According to multiple credible sources, the Vivo X300 Pro will house a massive 7,000mAh battery. This marks a notable increase over previous generations, with an extra 1,000mAh compared to the X200 Pro. While specific details about charging speeds remain unknown, it would be surprising if Vivo did not at least match, or even surpass, the current 90W wired and 30W wireless charging found on its predecessor. This move could appeal to power users who demand all-day endurance without compromising performance.
MediaTek Dimensity 9500: A Step Forward in Processing
The phone is expected to introduce the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset. Early information about this processor points to a focus on efficiency, with ARM’s latest X930 core and an upgraded “Immortalis-Drage” GPU. While performance comparisons remain speculative until official benchmarks appear, expectations are high that the X300 Pro will deliver both speed and battery savings in daily use.
Camera Hardware Embraces Sony’s Latest Sensors
The camera setup is shaping up to be a highlight. Leaks point to a triple rear camera system built around Sony’s brand-new LYT-828 main sensor, offering 50 megapixels and promising a significant boost in dynamic range. This is supported by a 50 megapixel ultra-wide camera and a substantial 200 megapixel periscope telephoto lens—likely the largest sensor ever fitted into a mobile periscope to date.
Sony’s LYT-828 sensor uses Hybrid Frame-HDR to push dynamic range above 100 dB and includes new noise-handling technologies to perform better in dim environments. Alongside advanced autofocus and a new ZEISS-coated lens—designed to minimize distortion and improve clarity—Vivo seems determined to make a mark in mobile photography. These upgrades should translate to sharper shots, reduced reflections, and potentially best-in-class low-light performance. The inclusion of a periscope lens with macro functionality suggests flexibility for creative shooting as well.
Design Tweaks and Familiar Feel
While competitors experiment with camera bump shapes, Vivo appears to be sticking with its distinctive circular camera island. The rest of the design remains familiar, with a flat 6.8-inch 1.5K display likely similar to the X200 Pro. This continuity may please fans who appreciate a recognizable look.
What Does This Mean for Europe?
The X200 series typically launched in autumn, which makes September or October likely for the X300 Pro’s unveiling. However, European availability has not been confirmed. Vivo has previously limited some high-end launches to China and select Asian markets first, with global rollouts lagging behind. For now, eager fans in Germany, France, and across the EU will need to wait for official announcements, but the hardware on offer looks ready to compete with the most advanced flagships in 2025.
