DxOMark has published its camera review of the Vivo X300 Pro, and the phone has landed near the very top of the rankings.

The X300 Pro currently sits in second place overall, just behind Huawei’s Pura 80 Ultra. It ranks ahead of several high-profile flagships, including the Oppo Find X8 Ultra and Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro. This is Vivo’s best DxOMark result so far, improving on the X200 Ultra, which previously placed in the top five.

In terms of scores, the X300 Pro earns 171 points for photography. That’s slightly lower than the X200 Ultra’s photo score, meaning the older model still holds a small edge in still images. Video is where the newer phone makes a much bigger jump.

DxOMark gives the X300 Pro 169 points for video, placing it second in the video category overall and ahead of every Android phone tested so far. Only the iPhone 17 Pro scores higher for video, making Vivo’s latest flagship one of the strongest non-Apple options for filming.

According to the test, the phone performs particularly well in telephoto shots, zoom, bokeh, and low-light scenes. DxOMark also notes stable exposure, good dynamic range, mostly accurate white balance, and consistent skin tones in both photos and videos. Video stabilization is another area where the X300 Pro scores highly.

There are still some weaknesses. The review mentions contrast issues in certain HDR scenes, a relatively narrow ultra-wide camera, and occasional artifacts such as ghosting or color fringing. In low light, images can sometimes look over-processed, and darker skin tones may appear slightly brighter than intended.

Even with those limitations, the X300 Pro delivers a strong overall camera performance, with video standing out as its main strength. Vivo appears to be closing the gap with the very top camera phones as 2025 comes to an end.
