vivo is expected to launch its X300 series sometime in September this year, featuring the latest Dimensity flagship chip and improved cameras. But according to a new rumor, the base model could take an interesting turn—it might fit more comfortably in your hand and pocket.
Tipster Yogesh Brar claims the vivo X300 will be a compact flagship despite packing upgraded imaging hardware. While he didn’t share a screen size, his statement, “There is no need for an X300 Pro Mini now…” suggests the phone could be small enough to rank among the best compact flagships of 2025 and 2026.
For reference, the vivo X200 featured a 6.67-inch display and weighed 197 grams, while the X200 Pro Mini slimmed that down to 6.31-inch and 187 grams. It remains unclear how vivo plans to position the X300 and X300 Pro Mini if the standard model indeed adopts a compact form factor.
On the camera front, the vivo X300 is expected to include a 200MP (1/1.4″) main sensor, which would be an upgrade over the 50MP Sony IMX921 (1/1.56″) used in the X200. This could be joined by a 50MP ultra-wide lens and a 50MP Sony IMX882 (1/1.95″) telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The telephoto is also rumored to double as a macro camera.
The phone has already appeared on Geekbench 6.3.0, powered by the Dimensity 9500 and scoring 2352 in single-core and 7129 in multi-core tests.
Meanwhile, the X300 Pro Mini was rumored last month to continue using the IMX882 sensor for its 3x telephoto camera.
It will be interesting to see how vivo positions the standard X300 in the lineup—whether as a true compact flagship or as a middle ground between the X300 Pro Mini and X300 Pro. More leaks are likely to surface as we get closer to launch, so stay tuned.
