Following the Xiaomi 17 series announcements, Vivo is set to release its next generation of flagship smartphones soon. We already know plenty of details regarding the Vivo X300 lineup through leaks, rumors, and official teasers. So here’s a quick roundup of everything that we know so far.
1. Display & Design
Last year’s Vivo X200 series consisted of the Vivo X200, Vivo X200 Pro, and Vivo X200 Pro Mini. There was also an X300 Ultra, but the top model debuted a few months later. But this time around, the Chinese brand is shaking things up with just the Vivo X300 and Vivo X300 Pro model. The standard X300 is taking the role of the compact flagship. The design is only getting minor refinements, so the overall design remains the same across generation. Meaning, you still get a large circular camera module, although the X300 series have a flat rear panel and frame.
Official teasers have confirmed a Lucky Color, Cozy Purple, Free Blue and Pure Black colors for the vanilla model and the X300 Pro will arrive in Wilderness Brown, Simple White, Free Blue and Pure Black. Other notable design elements include IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance and 7.95mm thin body (7.99mm on the X300 Pro).
