Vivo Y600 Pro has been officially teased in China, with the brand revealing key details about its design and positioning. The most interesting aspect of this phone is that it will pack the largest battery ever seen on a Vivo phone. Here’s a look at what to expect from it.

Vivo Y600 Pro to pack the largest battery on a Vivo phone

The teaser hints that the Vivo Y600 Pro will feature a massive 10,000mAh battery, which may support 90W fast charging. As seen in the image below, the company has teased its rear design, which showcases a purple back panel paired with a circular camera module featuring gold accents.

As per other reports, the Y600 Pro is also expected to feature a dual rear camera setup with a 50 megapixel primary sensor, while retaining a circular camera module similar to its predecessor.

The Vivo Y600 Pro is expected to build on the foundation of last year’s Vivo Y500 Pro, which featured a Dimensity 7400 chipset, a 6.67-inch 1.5K, 120Hz OLED display, and a 7,000mAh battery with 90W fast charging support. The predecessor offered other features such as a 200-megapixel dual-camera setup and a relatively slim profile of 7.8mm despite its large battery. With the new model, Vivo is likely aiming to push battery limits further while refining the overall package for mid-range buyers.

Vivo Y600 Pro’s launch timeframe, price (rumored)

The Y600 Pro is expected to launch in May in China, likely targeting the mid-range segment with a price slightly higher than its predecessor, which started at 1,799 (~$265). However, exact pricing and availability details are yet to be confirmed.

The post Vivo Y600 Pro officially confirmed to pack 10,000mAh battery, teaser released appeared first on Gizmochina.

As scheduled, Vivo today announced its latest mid-range smartphone, the Vivo T5 Pro 5G, in India. A successor to the Vivo T4 Pro, it debuts with a much larger 9,020mAh battery, up from 6,500mAh. The Vivo T5 Pro 5G starts at Rs 29,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant in India. 

Vivo T5 Pro 5G Specifications

The phone features a large 6.83-inch 1.5K LTPS OLED display built on a Visionox VM9 panel. It supports a 144Hz refresh rate and reaches up to 5,000 nits peak brightness, with 2,000 nits in high brightness mode. 

The display also has 2,160Hz PWM dimming for reduced eye strain in low-light conditions.

Under the hood, the device runs on the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset, paired with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage. Vivo claims the phone can achieve around 1.2 million points on AnTuTu benchmarks. 

It also supports up to 120FPS gaming, aided by a large 7,000mm² vapor chamber cooling system that the company says is the biggest in this category.

The Vivo T5 Pro features a dual rear camera setup, consisting of a 50MP Sony IMX882 main sensor with OIS and a 2MP secondary depth sensor. On the front, there is a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls.

Powering the 9,020mAh battery is 90W fast charging support. Vivo claims the phone can charge up to 50% in around 37 minutes. Despite the large battery, the device remains 8.25mm thick and weighs 213 grams. The company also promises five years of battery health durability.

On the software side, the phone runs Android 16 with OriginOS 6. Vivo is offering three years of major OS updates and five years of security patches. The device also includes IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance, an in-display optical fingerprint sensor, an IR blaster, Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2.

The Vivo T5 Pro 5G will be available in Cosmic Black and Glacier Blue color options. It will go on sale starting April 21 via Flipkart, the Vivo India eStore, and offline retail stores.

Global smartphone shipments are off to a slower start in 2026. According to IDC’s latest Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, shipments fell 4.1% year over year in the first quarter to 289.7 million units.

The drop effectively ends a ten-quarter streak of growth that began around mid-2023. And we are all probably aware of the reasons. Supply constraints tied to storage components and rising costs. Both of these are expected to continue putting pressure on the market.

The top two companies still posted growth. Samsung and Apple were the only vendors among the global top five to record year-over-year gains.

The market outlook in Q1, 2026

Samsung returned to the number one spot for the quarter, thanks in part to the demand for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Even with a later-than-usual launch, shipments still rose 3.6% compared to last year. 

The company also filled the gap with earlier releases in its midrange A series, which helped stabilize volumes.

Apple followed in second place, with the iPhone 17 series seeing particularly strong demand in China. The company recorded more than 30% growth in the mainland, contributing to a 3.3% increase globally. That said, IDC notes that supply disruptions and weaker channel support in some regions kept that growth in check.

For the rest of the top five, things were a bit more muted. Xiaomi held onto third place despite posting the largest decline among the group. 

Oppo came in fourth, with stronger performance in China offsetting weaker international results. Notably, Oppo’s data now also includes Realme. Vivo rounds out the top five, contributing 7.3% of global smartphone shipments. 

Outside the top tier, there were a few bright spots. Honor, along with Lenovo (through Motorola) and Huawei, all managed to grow. Honor stood out with a 24% year-over-year increase, which IDC says is due to its overseas expansion. 

In China, total shipments reached about 69 million units, down 3.3% from a year ago. Even there, growth from Huawei and Apple wasn’t enough to offset the broader slowdown.

The post Smartphone shipments slip in Q1 2026, while Apple and Samsung continue to grow share appeared first on Gizmochina.

At a recent media interaction following the Vivo X300 Ultra launch, Vivo executives Huang Tao and Han Boxiao outlined the company’s next steps in imaging innovation. While the flagship introduced a new camera approach, the conversation also revealed plans that could extend these features to more devices and even new product categories.

Vlogging camera teased ahead of Q3 launch

Alongside plans for camera expansion, Vivo also hinted at a new device focused on self-recording, which appears to be the rumored vlogging camera. The company acknowledged that while rear cameras offer strong video capabilities, users who shoot vlogs or live content often depend on action cameras or external accessories.

To address this, Vivo is preparing a new solution expected to arrive with the next-generation X series in Q3. Early indications suggest a compact, pocket-style device with built-in stabilisation, designed to offer a more convenient setup for creators who prefer filming themselves.

The next X-series is tentatively dubbed the Vivo X500 series and is now expected to launch in Q3. To recall, the X300 series was announced in October last year, but with the X500 lineup now shifting earlier, it appears that both the new flagship range and the company’s first vlogging camera could debut around September in China. The vlogging camera may rival the DJI Osmo Pocket 4, which is launching this week globally.

Telephoto extender could reach S60 series

In China, Vivo is offering external telephoto extender accessories like the G2 and G2 Ultra for the Vivo X300 Ultra. These attachments are designed to improve long-distance photography, especially in challenging situations such as concerts or stadium seating. Han Boxiao explained that, rather than making photography more complex, these accessories aim to address practical limitations by helping users capture distant subjects more effectively.

Vivo is also working towards a more standardised mounting system for these accessories. The company is considering bringing similar support to its youth-focused S series. This could align with the upcoming S60 series in China. However, Huang Tao noted that such a move depends on whether these devices can maintain consistent image quality with the extender, suggesting that performance remains a key condition. As far as launch is concerned, the S60 lineup is expected to launch in May or June this year in China.

The post Vivo X500 series with vlogging camera may launch in September, S60 lineup may support telephoto extender appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo’s next Ultra phone looks set to arrive in India sooner than expected. According to a report from Smartprix, citing Yogesh Brar, the Vivo X300 Ultra could launch on May 7, with sales likely beginning around May 14. Last year’s X200 Ultra never made it outside its home market officially, so if this holds, it would be a relatively quick turnaround.

There’s a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate, which should be more than enough for everyday use and gaming. Nothing unusual there, but still a strong spec. It’s expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, so performance shouldn’t be a concern. That part is also fairly straightforward.

The camera setup is where things stand out a bit more. The X300 Ultra includes two 200MP sensors as part of a triple rear camera system. That’s not something we see often, even in top-of-the-line flagships, so it’ll be interesting to see how Vivo actually uses them. There’s a 50MP front camera for selfies.

The Chinese version packs a 6,600mAh battery and supports 100W wired and 40W wireless charging. On paper, that should be enough for a full day of use, with a full recharge taking around 30–40 minutes. On the software side, it runs OriginOS 6 based on Android 16.

Pricing hasn’t been mentioned so far, but given the positioning, it’s likely to sit firmly in the premium range. For context, in its home market, the phone starts at 6,999 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB model and goes up to 11,999 yuan for the 16GB + 1TB Satellite Edition bundled with the photography kit.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra tipped to launch in India on May 7 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo launched the X Fold 5 back in June last year, and early details of the X Fold 6 have already started showing up online. The successor is still some time away, but a new leak gives a rough idea of what the company might be planning.

The information comes from tipster Digital Chat Station, who mentions a possible 200MP main camera. If that ends up being accurate, it would likely be the same sensor used in the X300 and X300 Pro. That should help with detail in good lighting. The sensor is also slightly larger than the 50MP unit on the X Fold 5 (1/1.4″ vs 1/1.56″), so it could lead to a small change in the camera island design.

Battery is another area that could see a noticeable jump. The leak points to a rated 6,760mAh capacity, with a typical value closer to 7,000mAh. That’s a significant upgrade over the 6,000mAh unit of the X Fold 5.

There’s also mention of a 50MP periscope lens with telemacro support, which suggests close-up shooting could be part of the setup again. Vivo has used similar systems before, so this wouldn’t be entirely new, just carried forward and possibly refined.

Beyond that, details are still a bit vague. The leak references a new design language and some accessory support, but doesn’t go into specifics. On the performance side, the phone is expected to use a flagship Snapdragon chip, though it’s not clear which one yet. The X Fold 5 is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 and its successor is speculated to use the newly launched Snapdragon 8 Gen 5.

As with previous models, the X Fold 6 will likely launch in China first, with a wider rollout coming later.

For now, it looks like Vivo is focusing on the same areas again, but pushing them a bit further. Still early days though, so things could change by the time it’s official.

The post Vivo X Fold 6 tipped to feature 200MP camera, 7,000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo quietly unveiled the Vivo X300 FE in Russia last month, but the phone’s broader rollout is just getting started. An India launch is expected in May, and a new leak suggests the company might have something extra in store for the market.

The core hardware won’t likely be much different, but according to 91Mobiles, the Vivo X300 FE could come with a 200mm ZEISS Telephoto Extender Kit in India. 

It’s a paid add-on that attaches via a dedicated case. According to reports, it enables 2.35x extended zoom, with support for up to a 200mm optical equivalent and a staggering 1600mm maximum focal length.

We’ve also gotten a closer look at the accessory. PassionateGeekz shared what appears to be an official render of the extender along with the phone’s pink variant. 

Vivo X300 FE Specifications

As for the phone itself, the Vivo X300 FE uses a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip inside with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. It comes in configurations of up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage.

The device features a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 2640 × 1216 pixels. The phone runs OriginOS 6, based on Android 16, and Vivo is promising five years of Android updates along with seven years of security patches.

On the camera side, the phone includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX921 main sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. For selfies, there’s a 50-megapixel front camera.

The X300 FE is backed by a 6,500mAh battery and supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. In Russia, the phone retails at RUB 60,124 (around $770) for the 12GB + 256GB variant.

India is also expected to get an additional green color option alongside the existing Moonlight White, Cool Purple, and Graphite Black variants.

The post Vivo, iQOO phones eligible for Android 17 (OriginOS 7) update appeared first on Gizmochina.

We’ve been putting the Samsung Galaxy S26 up against flagships from across the market. If you’re curious, it’s already faced off against the OnePlus 15 and the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro.

Today, we’re comparing the Galaxy S26 with a more recent flagship, the Vivo X300s, which launched just last week in China. Both phones sit in the increasingly competitive “affordable flagship” tier. But the two are very different ideas of how a flagship phone should be in 2026. 

Vivo is about bigger battery, higher megapixel counts, faster charging, while Samsung offers refinement, long-term support, and a more compact form factor. Let’s go through them in detail here. 

Design and size

The Galaxy S26, as you might know, is a relatively compact flagship. At 149.6mm tall and weighing just 167 grams, it’s noticeably smaller and lighter than the Vivo X300s. You can actually use it one-handed without thinking about it.

The Vivo X300s, by comparison, is large, and unapologetic about it. At 162mm tall and 217 grams, it’s closer to what you’d expect from an “ultra” phone. The extra size makes room for its bigger battery and camera system, but it also means you’ll feel it in your pocket.

Both phones use glass and aluminum builds, but Samsung uses Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on both sides and Armor Aluminum 2 for the frame. Meanwhile, Vivo offers IP68/IP69 ratings, which technically give it an edge in ingress protection.

Display

No prize for guessing, Vivo gives you more screen in almost every sense. The X300s has a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 144Hz refresh rate, compared to the S26’s 6.3-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display at 120Hz.

On paper, Vivo offers a higher refresh rate, higher resolution (1260 x 2800), and features like 2160Hz PWM dimming and HDR Vivid. But in everyday use, you’re unlikely to notice a major difference between Samsung and Vivo.

Performance

Both phones run flagship chips, but from different ecosystems.

The Vivo X300s uses the MediaTek Dimensity 9500, built on a 3nm process with a peak clock speed of 4.21GHz. Samsung’s Galaxy S26, meanwhile, uses different chips depending on the region: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in some markets and Exynos 2600 in others.

On paper, Samsung’s Snapdragon variant is slightly more aggressive, with a 4.74GHz peak core speed. But these are flagship SoCs, so everyday performance will feel smooth on either device.

Where Samsung pulls ahead is software longevity. The S26 promises up to seven major Android updates, compared to five on the Vivo. That’s a meaningful gap if you plan to keep your phone for several years.

Cameras

When it comes to cameras, the Vivo X300s goes all-in on hardware. It features a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP periscope telephoto, and a 50MP ultrawide. It even supports optional external zoom lenses with Zeiss optics.

Samsung, on the other hand, opts for a 50MP main sensor, a 10MP telephoto, and a 12MP ultrawide.

There’s no doubt Vivo has the edge in flexibility. Higher-resolution sensors allow for more cropping, and the periscope lens — plus optional add-ons — suggests it’s built for users who want to experiment with zoom and detail.

Samsung’s advantage lies in predictability. Features like Best Face, strong HDR processing, and consistent video performance make it easier to get reliable results without much effort.

Battery and charging

The Vivo X300s packs a massive 7100mAh battery, significantly larger than the Galaxy S26’s 4300mAh cell.

Charging speeds widen the gap further. Vivo supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, while Samsung sticks to 25W wired and 15W wireless. Even with Samsung’s efficiency optimizations, it’s hard to see it competing on endurance or charging time.

The S26 does offer reverse wireless charging and tighter accessory integration, but that doesn’t change the core difference: the Vivo is built to last longer and charge faster.

The bottom line

The Vivo X300s and Galaxy S26 don’t really compete on the same terms, even though they sit in the same category.

The Vivo X300s is all about maximizing hardware — a bigger battery, faster charging, higher-resolution cameras, and a larger, faster display. It’s trying to win on specs.

The Galaxy S26 is more restrained. It focuses on usability, long-term software support, and a compact design that’s increasingly rare among flagship Android phones.

Ultimately, it comes down to what you value more: raw hardware or a more balanced, long-term experience.

Vivo has confirmed that the Vivo T5 Pro will be unveiled on April 15 in India. The launch date poster once again reiterates that the device will pack a massive 9,020mAh battery. Its microsite available on Flipkart states that some of its key specs will be confirmed on dates preceding the launch. Ahead of the launch, the device has appeared on the Geekbench benchmarking platform to reveal its chipset.

Vivo T5 Pro Geekbench listing

The Vivo T5 Pro Geekbench listing reveals that it is powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chip. Although the chip’s name is not directly mentioned, the CPU and GPU details available through the Geekbench listing are sufficient to confirm the inclusion of the said chip.

The Geekbench listing further reveals 12GB of RAM and Android 16, which will have the OriginOS 6 skin on top. In the single-core and multi-core tests, the device scored 1214 and 3146 points, respectively.

Recent reports have revealed that the Vivo T5 Pro will feature a massive 6.8-inch AMOLED screen delivering a 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. Its 9,020mAh battery is expected to support 90W fast charging. The device will also carry an IP68/IP69 rating for dust and water resistance.

The brand has already confirmed through the Flipkart landing page that the 12GB RAM variant of the device will offer 256GB of built-in storage. It will support 120fps gaming in select titles and will include a large 7,000mm² vapor chamber unit for heat dissipation.

While the Vivo X300 FE has already launched in a few markets, it is yet to arrive in India. A new report suggests that the Indian variant could bring a slight refresh, including a new colour option, offering an early look at what to expect.

Vivo X300 FE color variants, launch timeframe for India (rumored)

According to a report by Smartprix, citing tipster Yogesh Brar, the Vivo X300 FE could debut in India in the first week of May 2026. The report claims that the device will be available in Black, Purple, and an exclusive Green shade, which is showcased in the leaked image.

The Green variant appears to feature a refined finish that adds a fresh visual identity to the device. Notably, this colour option was not part of the global lineup, which included Moonlight White, Cool Purple, and Graphite Black. This indicates that the Indian version may come with a slightly different colour strategy, possibly skipping the white variant altogether.

Vivo X300 FE specifications

The Vivo X300 FE is expected to feature a 6.31-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate, offering a compact yet premium viewing experience. It is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, positioning it as a performance-focused device.

On the camera front, the phone is tipped to include a triple rear setup with a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50=megapixel telephoto lens with 3x zoom, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera. The imaging system is expected to benefit from Vivo’s collaboration with Zeiss.

The device could pack a 6,500mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 40W wireless charging. It is also expected to run Origin OS 6 out of the box and may offer IP68 and IP69 ratings for durability.

The post Vivo X300 FE’s exclusive green variant for Indian market revealed appeared first on Gizmochina.

A new camera comparison making the rounds is putting a smartphone up against a full-frame mirrorless setup, and the results are interesting to say the least. Chinese creator fenibook has shared a side-by-side camera comparison between the Vivo X300 Ultra and a Sony A7 III paired with the 24–70mm GM II lens, along with the original RAW files for anyone who wants to take a closer look.

On paper, the comparison feels a bit uneven. The Sony setup costs significantly more once you factor in both the body and lens, while the Vivo sits around the $2,000 mark depending on the variant. But that’s also part of the point: how close a phone can get to dedicated camera gear in certain situations.

In good lighting, the Vivo actually holds up better than some might expect. Its 200MP sensor produces images with a lot of detail, and in all the image samples shown in the video, they appear sharper than what comes out of the A7 III’s 24MP sensor. Colors are also fairly well controlled, though in some tricky lighting situations the Vivo samples can look slightly less natural compared to the dedicated camera. Vivo is likely relying on heavy post-processing here, but it’s handled well enough that the images don’t come across as overly processed.

That said, it’s not a complete picture. The test doesn’t really cover more challenging scenarios like low light or a wider range of focal lengths. And realistically, pixel-peeping 200MP images isn’t something most people will do regularly. A full-frame camera still has a clear advantage when it comes to flexibility, especially with zoom lenses, where it can deliver results that a smartphone setup struggles to match. Even with Vivo’s optional 400mm G2 teleconverter, there are limits. With that accessory, the X300 Ultra is expected to retail at around €2,300 in Europe.

But the point here isn’t to replace a dedicated camera in every situation. It’s more about how close a smartphone can get while staying portable. And from that perspective, the Vivo X300 Ultra does quite well. The images are highly detailed, colors are mostly consistent, and there’s no obvious noise or artifacts. For users who want more flexibility, there’s also the option to add the teleconverter kit, which is relatively compact.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra vs Sony A7 III camera test: can a phone really compete? appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo X300 Ultra just made its debut in China, and as expected from Vivo’s Ultra lineup, it’s a spec-heavy flagship for photography enthusiasts. The phone is powered by Qualcomm’s best Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip and features a Zeiss-branded camera system. 

Beyond the headline specs, Vivo has also shared the official repair pricing of the smartphone. Let’s go through it. 

Vivo X300 Ultra Repair Cost

Starting with the essentials, a screen replacement is listed at 1,620 yuan, though there’s a discounted price of 1,320 yuan if users agree to return the damaged panel for recycling. A new battery costs 199 yuan, while replacing the back cover costs 350 yuan.

Unsurprisingly, motherboard repairs are the most expensive. Depending on the configuration, prices range from 3,300 yuan for the 12GB + 256GB variant all the way up to 4,200 yuan for the 16GB + 1TB model.

For the camera, the rear main sensor costs 820 yuan to replace, the periscope lens 790 yuan, and the ultra-wide module 450 yuan. Even the smaller multispectral sensor isn’t free at 95 yuan. Meanwhile, the front-facing camera is relatively affordable at 125 yuan.

If you lose accessories, you can get the charger set at 199 yuan, and a replacement data cable costs 69 yuan.

To note, major repairs, including the screen, battery, motherboard, and cameras, are covered for free during the warranty period.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra repair costs are now official appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo has started teasing its next T series smartphone for India, the Vivo T5 Pro 5G, hinting at a launch in the coming days. While the exact date is still under wraps, early details have surfaced through official teasers and reports, giving a fair idea of what to expect.

Vivo T5 Pro Flipkart listing confirms key highlights

The Vivo T5 Pro 5G has appeared on Flipkart via a dedicated microsite, confirming its availability on the platform once it launches. The teaser highlights a large 9,020mAh battery, with Vivo claiming it could be the slimmest phone in its segment to carry such a capacity. The device is also expected to support up to 120FPS gaming, indicating a focus on performance alongside endurance.

In terms of design, the phone is shown with a dual rear camera setup placed in a pill-shaped module. The button placement appears slightly different, with the power and volume keys positioned on the left side, while the right side remains clean. At the bottom, it includes a USB Type-C port, speaker grille, and SIM tray.

The fine print of the Flipkart listing reveals that it will be priced between Rs 10,000 and Rs 20,000. It also mentions an extender kit that will be sold separately, which could be a game-changer in this segment, as phones under Rs 20,000 rarely offer expandable or accessory-based camera enhancements. If this builds on the idea seen with the Vivo T4 Pro’s periscope-style zoom approach, it could bring more versatile photography to a price range that typically sticks to basic camera hardware.

The handset is tipped to feature a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It could be powered by the Snapdragon 7s Gen 4 chipset and may run on Android 16-based OriginOS 6. Fast charging support of up to 90W is also expected, along with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance.

The post Vivo T5 Pro teasers begin, reveals 9,020mAh battery, an extender kit, under Rs 20,000 price appeared first on Gizmochina.

With just days to go before its European debut, the Vivo X300 Ultra has leaked with pricing and color options for the region.

Earlier leaks, including what looked like listings from Vivo Austria’s own store, suggested the top-end model (16GB RAM, 1TB storage) could land at around €1,999. That immediately raised eyebrows. At that level, it’s brushing up against phones like Apple’s highest-end iPhone.

Now there’s a slight change. According to tipster Roland Quandt, a newer retail source points to a launch price of €1,900 for the 16GB+1TB configuration. There’s also mention of a bundled version that includes the 400mm G2 Ultra teleconverter, essentially an add-on aimed at getting more out of the camera system. That package is said to be priced at around €2,300, so quite a jump if you want the full setup.

Even at €1,900, though, this is firmly in ultra-premium territory. Especially considering the same phone is already available in China at noticeably lower prices if you go the import route. That gap is something buyers in Europe have been pointing out more often lately.

Vivo does seem to be trying to soften the blow a bit. Pre-order offers, at least in some regions, are expected to bundle in accessories or discounts. At the end of the day, it’s a phone that’s leaning heavily on professional photography and videography. The Zeiss collaboration, the hardware, the optional teleconverter, it’s all clearly aimed at photography first.

The official pricing is expected to be confirmed on April 16, so there’s still a small chance things shift again. But even if it does settle around €1,900, the bigger question is whether buyers see enough value there to justify it. As one commenter noted, a Lumix S5D with a zoom lens goes for around €790.

The phone is expected to come in Green and Black in Europe.

Vivo has launched the mid-premium smartphone V70 FE in India, following its debut in Indonesia last month. Let’s check out its specs and pricing details.

Vivo V70 FE Specifications

The Vivo V70 FE features a 6.83-inch 1.5K AMOLED display with a 2800 x 1260 resolution, a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, and up to 1900 nits peak brightness for excellent sunlight readability. It supports HDR10+ for vivid colors and is protected by durable Diamond Shield Glass.

Under the hood, the device is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo chipset (4nm) with a clock speed of up to 2.5GHz and Mali-G615 MC2 GPU. It offers 8GB or 12GB LPDDR5 RAM and up to 256GB UFS 3.1 storage.

The smartphone runs on the latest Android 16, topped with OriginOS 6. Vivo has promised four years of OS updates and six years of security patches. It brings features like AI-enhanced productivity tools, advanced personalization, and optimizations for smooth everyday use.

For photography, the V70 FE boasts a 200MP main rear camera with OIS using Samsung’s HP9 sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 50MP front camera with eye autofocus. It includes AI-powered features like AI SuperZoom (30x), AI Magic Weather, and four-season portrait mode, catering to photography enthusiasts.

Despite its slim 7.59mm profile, the device packs a 7000mAh battery with 90W FlashCharge. It also features bypass charging.

The V70 FE is IP68/IP69-certified for water and dust resistance. It offers dual speakers, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and modern connectivity options like 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC.

Pricing and Availability

The Vivo V70 FE is available in two stunning color options: Northern Lights Purple and Monsoon Blue. The Northern Lights Purple uses Darkness Glow Technology to emit a soft glow in low light for a luminous effect.

The pricing begins at ₹37,999 for the 8GB + 128GB variant, ₹40,999 for the 8GB + 256GB model, and ₹44,999 for the 12GB + 256GB version.

The post Vivo V70 FE debuts in India with a 6.83″ 120Hz AMOLED display, 200MP camera & 7000mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Amid much anticipation, the king of camera phones in 2025 was updated with the vivo X300 Ultra at the end of March 2026.

Among a crowd of Ultra models, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica features the best optical zoom lens in the world, and the stunning colors of the Leica Essential mode leave a deep impression. As for the OPPO Find X9 Ultra, although it hasn’t been released yet, the official has already revealed an exciting piece of information: it will come with a 200MP 3x telephoto, along with the world’s best 10x ultra-telephoto camera.

In contrast, the vivo X300 Ultra doesn’t seem to bring us many surprises, and there are even “downgrades” in its camera specifications. If last year’s X200 Ultra was one of my favorite phones, then this year’s X300 Ultra is probably no longer on that “favorites” list.

Camera

Looking purely at the raw capabilities of the camera system, the X300 Ultra remains one of the strongest contenders. However, when compared to its predecessor, it feels like vivo hasn’t fully pushed the envelope. Most of the upgrades are concentrated on the main camera, which now features a slightly larger sensor and higher pixel count. And It also follows the industry trend by incorporating a 5MP multispectral camera.

The ultra-wide camera remains largely unchanged, while the apertures on both the main and telephoto cameras have actually been reduced. For a device priced over $1,000, seeing such minimal hardware improvements is unlikely to sit well with most users. All that’s left is to hope the real-world camera performance delivers a pleasant surprise.

Teleconverter

That said, for those with ultra-long-distance photography needs, vivo remains a trusted choice. Its teleconverter kit was well-received last year, and the new iteration should be no exception. The new 200mm teleconverter is significantly more compact, and an additional 400mm lens is now available. If you’re determined to capture wildlife on the African savannah or shoot from the back of a concert hall using a smartphone, the X300 Ultra paired with the teleconverter kit might be your best option.

Unlike the hardware, the camera software sees no downgrades. The most notable addition is a new photo color tuning style—no need to guess where the inspiration comes from, right? There are also two new photography styles, said to be developed using vivo’s latest color science. We’ll dive into how effective these new features are in our full review.

Design

Aside from the camera, I also have some reservations about the design. The X300 Ultra is available in three colors. While the black version remains as satisfying as ever, the other two fall short of their counterparts on the X200 Ultra. The white model, in particular, feels a bit overdone—in my opinion, the snow mountain pattern is simply unnecessary. Then again, maybe I’m wrong—maybe it could end up being a favorite for some people.

After a year of trial and error, vivo has finally come to the conclusion that the camera control button was unnecessary—so it’s gone on the X300 Ultra. Personally, I wish they had added an AI button instead; having an extra customizable button is quite convenient for everyday use.

Other

Other changes aren’t very noticeable. For example, the body is slightly thinner, but the weight has increased a bit. Charging power has gone up slightly, and so has the battery capacity, both by around 10%. As for the processor, it’s definitely the latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5.

The screen refresh rate has been upgraded to 144Hz, while the resolution remains at 2K (3168×1440), and the display finally uses flat glass. The bezels are very narrow and appear symmetrical on all four sides. There are also some upgrades that aren’t visible from the outside, including an improved vibration motor and top speaker.

During the initial hands-on, the X300 Ultra feels more like an X200s Ultra – far from what I would define as a true next-generation upgrade.

The good news is that we can still safely say it remains one of the most powerful camera phones on the market. If you really love a 35mm main camera, then the X300 Ultra is indeed a more reassuring choice than the Nubia Z80 Ultra. But beyond that, if you are holding an X200 Ultra, I don’t see enough must-buy reasons to upgrade. I would even recommend buying the X200 Ultra instead—it’s not that different from the X300 Ultra, but costs less. Meanwhile, I’m more looking forward to the OPPO Find X9 Ultra, which, based on the rumors we know so far, feels much closer to what the X300 Ultra should have been—the true king of camera phones. In any case, please wait and see whether our real-world tests and full review prove us completely wrong.

The X300 Ultra is now available on GeekWills.

The post Vivo X300s key specifications officially confirmed ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is gearing up to launch the Vivo X300 Ultra on March 30 in China. The company already showcased the device at MWC in February, so a global launch is also expected soon.

Ahead of that, the global model of the Vivo X300 Ultra has appeared on Geekbench.

The device, identified by the model number V2562, is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. It is paired with 16GB of RAM, runs Android 16, and scored 3,468 points in single-core and 9,644 points in multi-core tests.

Interestingly, the Chinese model of the device, with model number V2547DA, also appeared on Geekbench a few days ago. It posted slightly higher scores, with 3,722 in single-core and 11,621 in multi-core tests.

The processor, RAM, and OS version are the same as the global model, which suggests the latter might still need some optimization.

Vivo X300 Ultra Specifications (Expected)

Vivo X300 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.82-inch 2K BOE display with narrow bezels all around. The Chinese model will pack a 6,600mAh battery, along with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging support. Despite that, the phone reportedly maintains a slim profile at 8.19mm.

Cameras, of course, are the highlights here. It features a 200MP Sony LYTIA-901 main sensor paired with a 50MP LYTIA-828 ultrawide sensor, which was previously used as the X300 Pro’s main sensor. This phone also has a 200MP ISOCELL HP0 prerescope telephoto unit along with a 5MP multi-spectral sensor, which will improve colour accuracy. 

On the audio and recording side, the X300 Ultra introduces a quad-microphone system. The phone also includes customized speakers, featuring a 1697 upward-firing unit and a relatively large 0.8cc sound cavity, which could contribute to louder or fuller audio output.

Last but not least, the device is said to include a high-end 751440 vibration motor for more precise haptic feedback. Vivo is also adding a back-tap gesture feature, allowing users to trigger shortcuts like silent mode, flashlight, or screen recognition functions.

In February, Vivo announced the Vivo V70 and V70 FE smartphones in India. Recently, the brand started teasing the arrival of the V70 FE in the country. While it has already launched in some Southeast Asian markets, it is now finally heading to India. Here is a look at what to expect from this phone.

Vivo V70 FE India launch details

Vivo has officially confirmed that the Vivo V70 FE will make its debut in the Indian market on April 2, 2026. The smartphone is expected to be a strong contender in the premium mid-range segment, with a projected starting price of less than Rs 40,000. This positioning makes it an attractive option for those looking for high-end features without a flagship price tag.

The V70 FE will be available in striking shades, including Monsoon Blue and Northern Lights Purple. The Monsoon Blue variant is particularly unique as it features a glow-in-the-dark finish that reveals luminous patterns when the lights go out, while the purple option offers a soft, elegant gradient.

Vivo V70 FE specifications

The handset features a 6.83-inch AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate and 1,900 nits peak brightness. Under the hood, it runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7360-Turbo chipset, paired with up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB of internal storage.

The V70 FE operates on Android 16 with OriginOS 6 for a smooth user interface. It is confirmed to receive six years of updates. Powering the device is a massive 7000mAh battery that supports 90W fast charging.

For photography, the phone includes a 200-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens. A 32-megapixel front camera handles high-quality selfies. Durability is a priority, as the device carries IP68 and IP69 ratings against water and dust.

Vivo is getting ready to unveil its next camera-focused flagship, the X300 Ultra, and most of the details are already starting to fall into place. The phone is set to launch on March 30 alongside the more compact X300s, and going by the latest leaks, Vivo is clearly doubling down on photography this year.

Design-wise, the X300 Ultra doesn’t look like a major departure from previous X-series models, but the color options, based on leaked renders, help it stand out. The three variants include a soft green with a dual-tone finish, a clean matte black, and a white option with a similar two-tone look. The design still leans heavily on that large circular camera module at the back, which has pretty much become a signature for Vivo’s flagship line.

The camera setup is where things get interesting. The phone is expected to feature two 200MP sensors, which is unusual even by current flagship standards. The main camera uses Sony’s LYT901 sensor with a 35mm focal length, while the periscope telephoto relies on Samsung’s HP0 sensor with an 85mm focal length. There’s also a 50MP ultrawide camera based on Sony’s LYT818. On paper, it’s a very flexible setup, covering everything from standard shots to longer zoom ranges.

Vivo is also said to be introducing optional ZEISS teleconverter attachments, extending zoom to 200mm and even 400mm. It’s a niche feature, sure, but it shows how far the company is pushing the camera angle here. There’s even talk of a bundled kit with a grip and extra accessories for users who want a more camera-like experience.

Performance shouldn’t be a concern either. A prototype has already shown up on Geekbench with scores that line up with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. The phone is expected to come with up to 16GB RAM and run Android 16 with OriginOS 6.

With the launch just around the corner, the X300 Ultra looks less like a typical upgrade and more like a focused attempt to stand out through imaging.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra, Vivo X300s renders reveal bold new colors that may divide opinions appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is getting ready to expand its X300 lineup, and alongside the Ultra, there’s another model that’s starting to look quite interesting. The Vivo X300s is set to launch alongside the Vivo X300 Ultra in China on March 30, 2026, and recent leaks have filled in most of the details.

The X300s is expected to feature a 6.78-inch flat display with a 1.5K+ resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It’s said to use BOE’s Q10+ panel, which should help with both brightness and efficiency. The overall design leans premium, with a metal frame and a large circular camera module on the back. It’s a familiar look at this point, but still stands out.

On the camera side, things are a bit unusual. The setup reportedly includes a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP periscope telephoto, all tuned with Zeiss optics. The front gets a 50MP camera. The main sensor resolution might look modest on paper compared to some rivals, but Vivo usually focuses more on tuning than just numbers.

Battery life could end up being a major highlight here. The X300s is tipped to pack a 7,100mAh battery, which would be the largest ever in the X-series. It supports 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging, so topping it up shouldn’t take too long either.

There are a few extra touches as well, like an X-axis linear motor for better haptics, dual stereo speakers, and IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance. You also get a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and USB 3.2 for faster data transfers.

The chipset hasn’t been officially confirmed in this particular leak, but earlier reports point to the Dimensity 9500. If that holds, performance shouldn’t be an issue.

With a flat display, big battery, and a flexible camera setup, the X300s looks like a more practical alternative to the Ultra. We’ll know the full picture once it goes official on March 30.

The post Vivo X300s specs summarized ahead of March 30 launch: 200MP main camera, 7,100mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo’s next camera-focused flagship is almost here, and the X300 Ultra has now shown up on Geekbench ahead of its official launch. The phone is set to be unveiled on March 30, 2026, alongside the X300s, and this early benchmark listing gives a quick look at what to expect in terms of performance.

The device spotted on Geekbench carries the model number V2547DA, which is believed to be the satellite communication variant. It posted a single-core score of 3,722 and a multi-core score of 11,621. Those numbers are pretty much in line with what you’d expect from a top-end Android flagship this year.

Under the hood, the X300 Ultra is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with 16GB of RAM. The listing also confirms Android 16 out of the box, running Vivo’s OriginOS 6 skin on top. None of this is particularly surprising, but it does help lock in the core specs just before launch.

That said, performance isn’t really the main story here. Vivo is clearly putting most of its focus on the camera system, and it looks quite ambitious on paper. The phone is expected to feature a triple-camera setup led by a 200MP main sensor based on Sony’s Lytia 901. It has a 35mm focal length, which is slightly different from the usual smartphone approach, and comes with improved stabilization.

There’s also a 200MP periscope telephoto camera using Samsung’s HP0 sensor, paired with an 85mm focal length and upgraded stabilization again. On top of that, you get a 50MP ultrawide camera built around Sony’s Lytia 818 sensor.

Vivo is even planning optional teleconverter kits that extend zoom to 200mm and 400mm, which is something you don’t usually see in smartphones. It’s a bit niche, but it does show how far the company is pushing the photography angle.

On paper, the X300 Ultra looks like it could be one of the most camera-focused phones of the year.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra surfaces on Geekbench appeared first on Gizmochina.

The upcoming Vivo V70 FE is positioned as a mix of eye-catching design and solid mid-range specs. And from what the company has teased so far, the design might be the main talking point.

According to a report by 91Mobiles, the phone is set to launch in India on April 2, 2026. Vivo has already put up teasers and a microsite, highlighting features like a 200MP main camera with OIS. The device has also debuted in Indonesia recently, so there aren’t too many surprises left around the core specs.

One detail that stands out is the new Monsoon Blue color. On the surface, it looks like a simple matte blue finish. But under certain lighting and in darker conditions, the back panel reveals faint glowing streaks. Vivo is calling this effect “Darkness Glow.” It’s subtle from what we’ve seen so far, not overly flashy, but definitely different. There’s also another option called Northern Lights Purple, which leans more towards a soft gradient look. The phone itself sticks to a flat frame with a vertically aligned camera setup and Vivo’s Aura Light ring flash.

In terms of hardware, the V70 FE is powered by the Dimensity 7360-Turbo chip. It’s not aimed at heavy gaming, but should handle everyday use without much trouble. The display is a 6.83-inch AMOLED panel with 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Battery life could be a strong point here, with a large 7,000mAh unit paired with 90W charging.

The camera setup includes a 200MP primary sensor and an 8MP ultrawide, while the front gets a 32MP camera. RAM and storage are expected to go up to 12GB and 512GB respectively.

The starting price is expected to be under Rs 35,000.

The post Vivo V70 FE rumored to launch in India on April 2 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo has confirmed that the V70 FE will launch in India soon as the successor to the V60e. The phone has already been introduced in Indonesia, and teasers along with microsites are now live in India. The launch is expected in early April, and the device will be available through Amazon India, Flipkart, and vivo’s official retail channels.

The V70 FE stands out for its large 7,000mAh battery. It supports 90W wired fast charging. The phone also includes an under-display optical fingerprint scanner, dual SIM support, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, and an IR blaster.

It is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 7360-Turbo chipset, built on a 4nm process. On the software side, the phone runs OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. vivo says it will provide up to six years of security updates, but has not confirmed how many Android version upgrades the device will receive.

For cameras, the V70 FE uses a dual rear setup. The main camera has a 200MP sensor with an f/1.88 aperture and optical image stabilization. It is paired with an 8MP ultra-wide camera. On the front, there is a 32MP camera for selfies and video calls. The rear also includes an Aura Light to improve lighting for portrait shots.

The phone features a 6.83-inch AMOLED display. It is a 10-bit Q10+ panel with a 1.5K resolution. The display supports a 120Hz refresh rate and can reach a peak brightness of 1,900 nits. It also supports HDR10+ playback.

The device comes with IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance. With its large battery, high-resolution main camera, and long-term security update support, the V70 FE is positioned as a feature-focused mid-range smartphone in vivo’s lineup.

The post Vivo V70 FE to Hit India in April With 200MP Camera, 7,000mAh battery and 1.5K AMOLED Display appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is once again leaning hard into smartphone photography, and its upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra looks like it’s going all in on camera hardware. At a recent imaging-focused event, the company shared detailed specs that make it clear this phone is being positioned less like a typical flagship and more like a compact camera alternative.

The announcement came during Vivo’s Blueprint Imaging Technology Communication Conference, where the brand outlined a new camera system developed in collaboration with Zeiss. The setup follows what Vivo calls a “3+2” configuration, essentially three main sensors backed by additional optical elements and processing tweaks.

The ultra-wide camera uses a 1/1.28-inch Sony LYTIA 818 sensor. That’s unusually large for an ultra-wide, and Vivo is pairing it with its latest VCS bionic spectrum tech and Zeiss T* coating. The company claims improved light capture and CIPA 6.0 level stabilization, which could make wide shots more usable in low light than usual.

The main camera is where things get even more ambitious. Vivo is using the Sony LYTIA 901, a 200MP sensor that hasn’t been seen in a phone before. It’s paired with a new lens setup designed to reduce reflections and improve light intake, along with updates to noise reduction and HDR processing.

Then there’s the telephoto system, which might be the headline feature. Vivo is going with a 200MP periscope camera based on Samsung’s HP0 sensor, along with a CIPA 7.0 rating, which the company describes as gimbal-level stabilization. There are also new G2 teleconverter options, offering extended focal lengths up to 400mm, which is getting into serious zoom territory for a phone.

Vivo has also shared official samples from both the main and telephoto cameras earlier. It’s clear what Vivo is aiming for. The X300 Ultra isn’t just about specs for the sake of it, it’s trying to push smartphone photography a bit closer to dedicated camera gear, at least in certain situations.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra camera specs confirmed: 1/1.12″ 200MP main, “gimbal-level” stabilization, G2 Ultra teleconverter appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is preparing for a major product launch event in China on March 30, where it will unveil the new Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X300s smartphones. Alongside these devices, the company has also confirmed the arrival of the Vivo Pad 6 Pro.

Vivo is positioning the Pad 6 Pro as a productivity-focused device. The tablet was previously showcased at Mobile World Congress, where it was seen paired with a keyboard accessory and stylus.

It also features a large 13.2-inch display with a 4K True Color screen that supports Dolby Vision. In terms of performance, the Vivo Pad 6 Pro will be powered by the current best Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. 

To further support its productivity angle, Vivo is bundling PC-grade WPS Office and CapCut Professional Edition with the device. These additions make it clear that the tablet is not just for media consumption but also for tasks like document editing, video editing, and general work use.

Vivo Pad 6 Pro Specifications (Expected)

As for other specifications, reports suggest that the tablet could feature a high refresh rate display, possibly up to 144Hz, for smoother visuals. Camera-wise, it is expected to include a 13-megapixel rear camera and an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. Typical for tablets, which are usually meant for general video calls and document scanning and not much more. 

Moreover, the Pad 6 Pro is said to carry roughly a 13,000mAh cell, up from 12,050mAh in the previous model. It will support either 80W or 90W of charging.

Vivo is likely to reveal more about the device in the lead-up to launch. As for global availability, there’s no word yet. But since Vivo showed off the device in MWC, we can expect a global announcement soon.

The post Vivo Pad 6 Pro launch confirmed next week, here are the specs we know appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is scheduled to unveil the Vivo X300 Ultra on March 30 in China. This will be followed by the Oppo Find X9 Ultra’s launch in April. These devices will compete with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which debuted back in December in China. Reports suggest that the photography capabilities of the X300 Ultra and Find X9 Ultra could be better than the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but Xiaomi may have a pricing advantage over these rivals.

Vivo X300 Ultra, Find X9 Ultra to be priced higher than Xiaomi 17 Ultra

Tipster Experience More suggests that the upcoming ultra-flagship smartphones, expected to include the Vivo X300 Ultra launching this month in China and the Oppo Find X9 Ultra arriving next month, will see noticeable price increases. Due to rising storage costs, both devices are tipped to be priced significantly higher than the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, with an estimated increase of around 500 yuan (~$70) for comparable variants.

The tipster adds that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s early-mover advantage was largely due to its pricing. In hindsight, the 500 yuan to 700 yuan price increase over the Xiaomi 15 Ultra now seems relatively minor, especially as upcoming ultra-flagships like the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra are expected to launch at noticeably higher prices due to rising storage costs.

To recall, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra has been available in China in three versions, such as 12GB+512GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB. These variants are priced at 6,999 Yuan (~$1,020), 7,499 Yuan (~$1,080), and 8,499 Yuan (~$1,235), respectively.

With the Vivo X300 Ultra expected to cost 500 yuan more than the 17 Ultra, it is likely that its 12GB+512GB version could be priced at around 7,500 Yuan (~$1,090).

The post Vivo X300 Ultra could be priced at around 7,499 Yuan (~$1,090) appeared first on Gizmochina.

Several reports have claimed that the Vivo X300 Ultra will pack a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. While the phone is scheduled to launch on March 30 in China, the brand has confirmed only a few camera details but is yet to confirm other specifications, including the battery capacity. A leaked image that is now circulating online suggests that it packs a smaller battery than expected.

Vivo X300 Ultra key details emerge

As can be seen above, the Vivo X300 Ultra image circulating on Weibo reveals several key details about its specifications. Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset.

The chip is accompanied by 16GB of RAM, 16GB of virtual RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. The screenshot also mentions the inclusion of Vivo’s VS1 and V3+ chips. The VS1 reportedly handles image pre-processing (before ISP), while the V3+ takes care of post-processing (after capture) to enhance final photo and video output.

Coming to the elephant in the room, the Vivo X300 Ultra does not pack a 7,000mAh battery as rumors claimed. Instead, it features a 6,600mAh unit, which is still larger than the 6,510mAh battery that powers the existing Vivo X300 Pro. Therefore, the X300 Ultra’s battery is expected to last more than a day with normal usage. As per recent certifications, the Ultra edition may support 100W wired charging, and as per other reports, it may support 40W or 50W wireless charging.

Speaking of battery size, the Vivo X300s, which is scheduled to launch alongside the X300 Ultra, will pack the largest battery seen on an X-series device. It is said to feature a massive 7,100mAh battery.

These devices, along with the Vivo Pad 6 Pro and a rumored vlogging camera, are also scheduled to launch on March 30. Most of these products may remain exclusive to China, while the X300 Ultra is expected to release globally in the second quarter of this year.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra does not pack a 7,000mAh battery, here’s the exact capacity appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo showed off the first images of the X300 Ultra earlier this week in an official teaser, revealing the phone in a new “Film Green” color. Now the device has surfaced in real-life photos in a beige shade, showing it from nearly every angle.

As you can see, the X300 Ultra features a massive camera module on the back with Zeiss branding. It’s particularly noticeable in the side-angle shot (the second image), which also shows the power and volume buttons. This beige variant also appears to have patterns on the rear panel.

The frame looks to be made of metal, while the bottom houses the usual hardware: microphones, a USB-C port, a speaker grille, and a SIM tray.

More interestingly, one of the leaked photos shows the settings page with key specs for the X300 Ultra. According to the image, the phone is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It also includes Vivo’s in-house VS1 and V3+ dual imaging chips.

The device also packs a 6,600mAh battery.

What can you expect?

As you know by now, the X300 Ultra is all about the camera. Its rear setup is said to include a 200-megapixel Sony LYT-901 main lens with a 1/1.12-inch sensor and 35mm focal length, along with a 200-megapixel Samsung HPB periscope telephoto camera at 85mm with Zeiss APO certification

A 50-megapixel Sony LYT-828 ultra-wide lens and a multispectral sensor complete the system.  For selfies, you are likely to get a 50-megapixel front camera with autofocus. 

A previous leak also suggests that the Vivo X300 Ultra could arrive in four configurations: 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, 16GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 1TB. The top-end model is also tipped to support satellite communication.

The post Vivo X300s Geekbench listing reveals Dimensity 9500, debuting soon with 7,100mAh battery appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo has officially revealed the design of its upcoming X300 Ultra and X300s smartphones after several weeks of teasers. The company has shared the first official images, highlighting a camera-inspired design language and a new film-themed color finish. The announcement offers an early look at Vivo’s next-generation flagship imaging smartphones.

Vivo introduces a camera-inspired design approach

According to Vivo product manager Han Boxiao, Vivo refers to the X300 Ultra as a “professional V camera phone,” while the X300s is positioned as a smaller version called the “super V camera phone”. For those who do not know, “V camera phone” refers to Vivo’s concept of a smartphone designed with a camera-first approach, combining professional camera features with a mobile phone form factor.

Both models feature a new “Film Green” color finish that blends classic photography aesthetics with a modern smartphone design. The company suggests the color and styling aim to deliver a mix of retro and contemporary visual appeal.

Both devices also support a long-range telephoto extender kit. The X300 Ultra will support what Vivo calls the “Cannon 400” telephoto system, designed for extreme long-distance photography with a 400mm focal length. The lineup also supports the “Lipstick 200” telephoto mode, intended to offer a lighter and more portable zoom shooting experience.

The X300 Ultra is expected to focus heavily on professional video recording. It will support 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording across multiple focal lengths, along with Dolby Vision recording and cinematic slow-motion video at the same resolution.

Industry sources suggest that Vivo may officially launch the X300 Ultra, X300s, and the Vivo Pad6 Pro tablet on March 30, with market availability likely beginning on April 3.

The post Vivo X300 Ultra, X300s design with telephoto extender officially unveiled ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is expanding its budget 5G lineup in India once again, this time with the new T5x 5G. It follows last year’s T4x 5G, but on paper at least, this looks like a fairly meaningful upgrade.

Up front, the phone gets a 6.76-inch FHD+ LCD display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It’s a flat panel with a punch-hole cutout, and while it’s not AMOLED, it should still be more than fine for basic tasks like texting, scrolling through social media, and watching videos on YouTube.

The bigger change is under the hood. Vivo has moved to the MediaTek Dimensity 7400 Turbo, replacing the Dimensity 7300. The company claims it can cross the 1 million mark on AnTuTu, which, if it holds up in real use, should translate to smoother multitasking and slightly better gaming performance. It runs Android 16 with Origin OS 6.0, and Vivo is promising 2 years of OS updates along with 4 years of security patches.

Battery is clearly one of the main highlights here. The T5x packs a 7200mAh battery and supports 44W fast charging. On top of that, the phone is IP68 and IP69 dust and water-resistant. It seems durability is a bigger focus of this phone.

On the camera side, things are more straightforward. There’s a 50MP Sony main sensor paired with a 2MP depth sensor, while the front gets an 8MP selfie camera. Nothing too ambitious, but likely good enough for daylight shots and video calls.

The phone comes in Star Silver and Cyber Green, with pricing starting at Rs. 18,999 for the 6GB + 128GB variant. The 8GB + 128GB model is priced at Rs. 20,999, while the 8GB + 256GB version goes up to Rs. 22,999, factoring in launch offers.

Sales are set to begin March 24, via Flipkart, Vivo’s online store, and offline retail channels. Launch offers include up to Rs. 2,000 instant discount on select bank cards, no-cost EMI options, and bundled OTT access for eligible Jio users.

It’s not trying to do everything, but for budget-conscious buyers who care about practical features and reliability, it could land as an appealing option.

The post Vivo T5x launched in India with Dimensity 7400 Turbo, massive 7200mAh battery, IP68 and IP69 protection appeared first on Gizmochina.

Ahead of the expected March 30 launch, new details about the Vivo X300 Ultra has surfaced online. Vivo product manager Han Boxiao has shared details about the device’s video capabilities, highlighting improvements designed for both everyday recording and professional content creation.

Professional video recording receives a major upgrade

According to the executive, the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra continues the evolution that started with the Vivo X200 Pro, whose video capabilities received strong feedback from users across different markets. The new model is said to focus heavily on professional recording, offering improvements in hardware processing, shooting controls and post-production flexibility.

One of the most notable additions is support for full focal length 4K 120fps 10bit Log recording. The previous generation delivered full focal length 4K 60fps Log video, but the X300 Ultra doubles the frame rate to 120fps. This improvement is expected to provide smoother footage and greater flexibility during editing. Importantly, all three rear cameras are said to support the same recording specifications, which removes limitations across focal lengths and ensures consistent output regardless of the lens used.

The phone is also said to introduce a more advanced Professional Video Mode with a redesigned interface. The recording screen reportedly presents shooting information more clearly while allowing creators to adjust a wide range of parameters. Another notable feature is the ability to preview 3D LUT colour profiles while recording Log footage. This allows creators to evaluate colours and tone in real time instead of waiting until the editing stage.

For post-production workflows, the device is claimed to support APV 422 professional video encoding. This format allows for a wider colour range and greater editing flexibility. Vivo says the Log footage can integrate directly into ACES colour workflows that are commonly used in film production, enabling easier collaboration with cinema cameras during colour grading.

Reports have revealed that apart from the Vivo X300 Ultra, the March 30 launch event is also likely to introduce the Vivo X300s smartphone and the Vivo Pad 6 Pro tablet.

Vivo’s next flagship lineup may take a slightly different approach when it comes to performance. A recent leak suggests the upcoming Vivo X500 series could arrive with two separate flagship chipsets, giving the standard and Pro models different performance levels. The company is expected to skip the Vivo X400 series entirely, jumping straight from the X300 lineup to the X500 generation.

For reference, the current Vivo X300 series, which launched in October 2025, uses the same processor across both models. The X300 (our review) and X300 Pro are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 9500, so there’s no major performance split between them. That may not be the case this time.

The latest leak claims MediaTek is preparing two flagship Dimensity chips for 2026: the Dimensity 9600 and a higher-end Dimensity 9600 Pro. Vivo could be among the first brands to use them.

Exact differences between the two chips are still unclear for now, but the Pro version would likely offer stronger CPU and GPU performance, along with improvements in AI processing or power efficiency.

A split-chip strategy like this would also fit into a broader trend that’s starting to appear in the smartphone industry. Qualcomm, for example, is rumored to be working on a similar idea with its upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 platform.

Beyond the processor, another rumored change involves the battery. Some early reports suggest the X500 series could move to batteries around the 7,000mAh mark, which would be a noticeable jump compared with the previous generation if it turns out to be true.

Of course, none of these details have been officially confirmed yet. The Vivo X500 lineup is still months away, with a launch likely sometime in late 2026.

For now, the information should be treated as early speculation. As the launch window gets closer, more details about the devices — and MediaTek’s next Dimensity chips — will probably surface through additional leaks.
