“Fan Edition” phones usually follow a pretty predictable formula. You get something that looks like the flagship, but with a few compromises under the hood to keep the price in check. The Vivo X300 FE, at least based on early leaks, doesn’t seem to be going that route.
Fresh images shared by tipster Yogesh Brar give us a first look at the device, and there’s one thing that immediately stands out. Not just the phone, but what you can attach to it.
The X300 FE appears to support the external Zeiss G2 lens attachment, similar to what Vivo has done on its higher-end models. The images show the phone alongside a dedicated case and a clip-on lens, which locks onto the camera module at the back. It’s a bit unusual for something positioned as an FE model. Usually, this kind of modular camera setup is reserved for the more expensive variants.
The phone shown is in a green finish, which is said to be exclusive to India. There are also expected to be Purple and Black options, but the green one definitely stands out a bit more.
On paper, the hardware doesn’t look toned down either. The phone is tipped to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, which would make it the first FE model from Vivo to use a Qualcomm flagship chip. Up front, there’s a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate.
The camera setup includes a 50MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 50MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom. Not the most extreme setup, but still pretty solid for this segment.
Battery-wise, it’s expected to pack a 6,500mAh unit with 90W fast charging. On the software side, it should ship with OriginOS 6 out of the box.
Launch timeline
Vivo has already locked in the launch date for India. The X300 FE is set to be announced on May 7, alongside the X300 Ultra, with sales expected to begin from May 14.
