Vivo has given a sneak peek of the Vivo X300 FE on X (formerly Twitter) specifically catering to the Indian market. The renowned Chinese smartphone manufacturer has announced that the device is set to be unveiled on May 6, with sales commencing on May 14. The promotional image showcases the smartphone in a distinctive green hue, which has been confirmed as an exclusive offering for Indian consumers. The teaser also reveals that the smartphone will feature a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, aligning it with its global edition. Alongside the Vivo X300 Ultra, the company’s flagship camera model, the Vivo X300 FE will be introduced with additional external telephoto extenders.
The design of the Vivo X300 FE presents a noticeable departure from its predecessor, the Vivo X200 FE. The new design highlights a horizontal pill-shaped camera module housing three camera apertures, accompanied by an LED flash and ZEISS branding. In contrast, the X200 FE showcases a vertical pill-shaped camera setup on the left side, accommodating two cameras and ZEISS branding situated between the sensors. Additionally, one camera and an aura flashlight are positioned outside the camera module. Vivo has confirmed in the teaser that the Vivo X300 FE will support an external Zeiss telephoto extender, reminiscent of the accessory featured on the Vivo X300 Ultra, suggesting a consistent approach by the Chinese smartphone manufacturer throughout the series.
The Vivo X300 FE made its debut in China on March 4, featuring a 6.31-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display boasting a 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, the phone offers top-tier performance. In terms of imaging capabilities, it boasts a triple rear camera setup comprising a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel telephoto lens, and an 8-megapixel ultrawide camera, all equipped with ZEISS optics. The device also supports optional ZEISS lens attachments to enhance zoom functionalities beyond the built-in features. With a robust 6,500mAh battery, the handset supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.
For pricing and availability, the Vivo X300 FE is anticipated to fall within the price range of Rs 55,000 to Rs 75,000. It is expected to be offered in 12GB RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage variants. Vivo is likely to unveil the X300 FE alongside the X300 Ultra in India on May 6, with sales set to commence around May 14.
