Vivo X300s Official: 200MP Main Camera, 7,100mAh Battery, Dimensity 9500
VivoTuesday, 31 March 2026 at 09:57
The X300s slots neatly between the standard X300 and the X300 Pro — same Dimensity 9500 chipset as the Pro, but with a completely different camera philosophy. Where the Pro puts 200MP in the telephoto, the X300s puts it in the main camera. Same sensor count, different priorities.
Pre-orders are open in China now. Sales start April 3.
Key Points
- X300s features a 200MP f/1.68 Zeiss main camera using Samsung HPB 1/1.4-inch sensor — flipped from the Pro's 50MP main and 200MP tele setup
- 7,100mAh fourth-gen Si/C battery with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging — slightly larger than the X300 Pro's cell
- Dimensity 9500 with V3+ imaging chip, up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 1TB UFS 4.1 storage
- 6.78-inch 144Hz LTPO BOE Q10 Plus OLED display — nearly identical to Pro minus Dolby Vision
- IP68 and IP69 rated, USB-C 3.2, Wi-Fi 7, ultrasonic fingerprint — available in four colors from CNY 5,000
Main Camera vs Telephoto Camera — The Key Difference From Pro
This is the most important thing to understand about the X300s. The X300 Pro runs a 50MP 1/1.28-inch Sony Lytia 828 as its primary shooter and saves the 200MP for zoom. The X300s flips that — 200MP 1/1.4-inch Samsung HPB goes in the main slot, while the telephoto drops to a 50MP 1/1.95-inch Sony Lytia 602.
The HPB sensor in the X300s main camera is actually the same unit used in the X300 Pro's telephoto. So you're getting excellent resolution up front but a smaller sensor than the Pro's primary. The telephoto on the X300s is noticeably smaller than the Pro's zoom sensor too. Trade-offs either way — X300s buyers are prioritizing high-resolution wide shooting over zoom performance.
All three Zeiss lenses carry proper APO designation on the telephoto, and the 92-degree ultra-wide front camera with autofocus is shared with the Pro. The optional Photography Kit adds a Zeiss G2 teleconverter extending zoom to 200mm equivalent.
7,100mAh Is the Biggest Number Here
Slightly larger than the X300 Pro's 7,000mAh cell, the fourth-generation silicon-carbon battery chemistry helps keep weight reasonable despite the capacity. Ninety watts wired is fast enough to make the large cell practical rather than inconvenient — a full charge in under an hour is realistic at that wattage. Forty watts wireless rounds out the charging story properly.
Everything Else Is Properly Flagship
The 1511 symmetrical dual-speaker configuration, 1.1Grms haptic motor with 40ms response time, ultrasonic fingerprint reader, USB-C 3.2, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX — the X300s doesn't cut corners on supporting hardware. IP68 plus IP69 dual certification continues from the X200s generation.
China only for now. No global availability confirmed, though the X300 Ultra going global suggests vivo's international ambitions are growing.
