Tech Spurt

Key Takeaways

• Weighs nearly 240g with a protective case and pushes 10mm thickness, causing rapid pinky finger fatigue.
• The under-display fingerprint reader is positioned barely a centimeter from the bottom bezel, inducing accidental drop risks.
• Zoom transitions between 1x, 3.7x, and 10x exhibit noticeable visual stutter and slight color temperature shifting.
• Curved edge palm rejection occasionally misfires during intense horizontal gaming, altering touch skill directions.

✅ Pros

• Zeiss telephoto resolves unmatched distant architectural detail
• Gigantic 6,500mAh cell provides easy two-day stamina
• Next-gen flagship chipset delivers instant UI responsiveness

❌ Cons

• Exhaustingly bulky and heavy brick-like chassis
• Poorly placed, dangerously low fingerprint scanner
• Stuttery zoom transitions with slight lens color mismatch
• Occasional curved-edge touch misfires during gaming

📝 Verdict

"vivo X300 Pro has astonishing zoom and battery, but heavy bulk and awkward ergonomics make it a chore to carry daily."

• Channel: Tech Spurt | Type: X300 Pro vs X300 comparison review (one week as main phone) | Based on: YouTube transcript

Key points

• Put his SIM card in the X300 Pro and used it as his main phone for several days, while also testing the X300.
• IP68/69, with no scratches after a week of knocking around in a pocket; OriginOS 6 has lots of customization options, but the Origin Island occasionally doesn't appear and the fingerprint sensor occasionally fails during AOD.
• Heavy gaming (Wuthering Waves) is smooth, and it only gets slightly warm.
• Excellent battery life: 25–30% left after about 7 hours of screen time; about 27–28 hours in the video playback test.
• The extender lens suits concerts or wildlife photography, but assembly takes time and you can't use the other cameras once it's attached.

✅ Pros

• Very strong battery life
• Good gaming performance, low heat
• Excellent camera performance (especially the telephoto)

❌ Cons

• Minor bugs with the Origin Island and AOD fingerprint
• Big body, big camera bump
• Bulky extender kit

📝 Verdict

Both are excellent flagships; if you don't need the strongest telephoto, the reviewer recommends the smaller X300.

Key points

• Among the first vivo phones to ship with global OriginOS out of the box, with the Dimensity 9500 and a 200MP ZEISS APO telephoto.
• A 90W charger is included in the box; IP68 + IP69, and the camera module can act as a finger rest.
• The 6.78-inch 120Hz AMOLED has slim bezels and ZEISS color certification, and system animations are smooth.
• The telephoto's detail, dynamic range and sharpness in real shots left him "really impressed", with natural bokeh; there's a new adaptive zoom flash.
• The 6,510mAh battery (varies by region) gets through a day of heavy use without worry, and supports 40W wireless charging.

✅ Pros

• Excellent telephoto camera detail
• Long battery life, 90W charger included
• Smooth screen and system

❌ Cons

• Battery capacity varies by region (smaller in the EU)
• Very large camera module

📝 Verdict

Sets a new benchmark: the reviewer is optimistic about vivo going global with OriginOS, and considers the camera the biggest highlight.

Key points

• Looks similar to the X300; the flat matte glass back resists fingerprints; IP68 + IP69, plus a new customizable shortcut key.
• The 6.78-inch LTPO OLED reaches about 780 nits manually and over 2,100 nits with auto brightness; the stereo speakers are loud enough but lack bass.
• The global version switches to OriginOS (Android 16), with a promise of 5 major OS updates and 7 years of security updates.
• The Dimensity 9500 benchmarks at the top tier, but under sustained heavy load it drops to about 50% of peak.
• The EU model's 5,440mAh battery achieved 12 hours 45 minutes of active use in testing, clearly beaten by rivals; 90W fills it in under half an hour.
• The main camera performs well day and night; the 3.5x 200MP telephoto delivers great detail and can focus as close as 14cm; the external extender kit reaches 200mm but isn't cheap.
• Low-light video is softer than rivals'; stabilization is excellent.

✅ Pros

• Top-tier photo quality from the main and telephoto cameras
• Bright screen, fast charging
• IP68 + IP69, long software update promise

❌ Cons

• Smaller EU battery, with battery life trailing rivals
• Noticeable throttling under heavy load
• Soft low-light video
• Speakers lack bass

📝 Verdict

Recommended for people who prioritize photography: the main regrets are (EU model) battery life and low-light video.
