Internally, the Vivo Y300 Pro houses a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor. It packs up to 8GB RAM and up to 512GB storage.

Vivo is preparing to launch the Y300 Pro smartphone soon. The device is confirmed to pack a monstrous 6,500mAh battery with support for 80W fast charging.

We may now have details about its performance, thanks to a new Geekbench listing. The device appeared on the benchmark platform with a model number V2410A. 

It reveals the phone running the aging Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, a chipset already considered a step behind by some competitors. The benchmark scores back this up, with the phone achieving a multi-core score of just 2,801 and a single-core score below 1,000. 

A saving grace might be the inclusion of 12GB of RAM, a healthy amount for multitasking on a mid-range device. Additionally, the phone is expected to run Android 14 out of the box, offering some future-proofing for the software side.

Beyond the battery, Vivo has officially confirmed other key details of the Y300 Pro. Its design, revealed from official teasers, seems to borrow elements from both ends of Vivo’s spectrum. 

The rear panel reportedly features a “Jade Ring” camera module that echoes the flagship X100 Ultra, while incorporating the ring flash design element from the current Y200.

On the front, the device will have a  6.77-inch micro-quad-curved OLED screen with 5000 nits brightness and SGS eye protection. The Y300 Pro’s rear camera features a 50-megapixel primary camera, while it has a 32-megapixel on the front for selfies.

The phone also enhances the popular “career mode,” now in its second generation, tailored for professional use by riders, with features like enhanced hands-free calls, improved network optimization, and intelligent assistance during delivery tasks. The Y300 Pro is available in four distinct color options, such as Titanium, Gold Inlaid Jade, Mutton Fat White, and Black Jade Black.
