The mid-range smartphone scene just got more intriguing with Vivo’s latest release in China—the new version of the Vivo Y300. Breaking away from its Indian counterpart, which sported a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, this Chinese variant makes a statement with a powerful MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. Accompanying this engine under the hood is an impressive offering of up to 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of storage, ensuring smooth multitasking and ample space for all your digital needs.
But it’s not just the internal specs grabbing attention. The new Vivo Y300 visually mimics the flagship X200, particularly at the back, making it quite the head-turner. While it might appear to boast a quad-camera setup, it actually integrates a dual-camera system: a robust 50 MP main sensor paired with a 2 MP portrait sensor, complemented by an 8 MP front camera perfect for selfies.
Battery enthusiasts will appreciate the substantial 6,500 mAh battery powering this mid-range marvel. Supporting 44-watt fast charging, it’s engineered to keep entertainment going for up to 25 hours of video playback, a claim that will surely appeal to those constantly on the move.
Audiophiles, take note—the Y300 isn’t just about visuals. It features what Vivo brands as a “super speaker” system, which delivers a Hi-Res audio experience via an innovative three-speaker setup. Combined with a vibrant 6.77-inch OLED display and a smooth 120 Hz refresh rate, users are in for a treat whether they’re gaming, streaming, or listening to their favorite tracks. The inclusion of LDAC and aptX HD ensures that sound quality is nothing short of outstanding.
Running on OriginOS 5, this phone offers a seamless and contemporary user experience. Price-wise, it starts at a wallet-friendly CNY 1,399 (approximately $192), with the high-end version topping out at CNY 1,999 (about $274). Although there’s no information on a global launch just yet, the new Vivo Y300 is already generating buzz with its impressive design and features in its local market.
