Vivo X300s review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Vivo X300s is a 2026 compact flagship on the Dimensity 9500, pairing a 200-megapixel stabilized main camera with a 6.82-inch 144 Hz OLED rated at 2000 nits, a 7100 mAh battery and 90 W charging in an IP69 body at 217 grams. Our catalog scores it 94 on everyday use, 89 on gaming and 89 on camera, with five years of OS updates declared. Video recording reaches 4K120. The 12/256 GB trim is listed new near $899. The Vivo X300 Pro is the long-zoom flagship of the family, while the Vivo X300 is the standard model.

Display and design

The 6.82-inch OLED refreshes at 144 Hz and peaks at 2000 nits, earning a screen axis of 86 and full outdoor readability. At 217 grams with a 7100 mAh cell inside, the body is dense but manageable, scoring 70 on compactness. The IP69 rating completes the package with dust and high-pressure water-jet sealing that matches the rest of the X300 generation.

Performance

The Dimensity 9500 posts an everyday axis of 94 and a gaming axis of 89 in our model, placing it among the fastest platforms we track: heavy 3D titles run at high settings with sustained frame rates, and the large cell keeps long gaming sessions viable. Everyday fluidity is effectively indistinguishable from the best Android flagships of the generation.

Camera

The 200-megapixel main sensor with optical stabilization is the headline, backed by ultrawide and telephoto modules, and video reaches 4K120 for smooth motion capture. A camera axis of 89 puts the X300s near the top of our scoring: high-resolution daylight captures, stabilized clips and a versatile multi-lens setup make it a photography-first flagship rather than a spec-sheet compromise.

Battery and charging

The 7100 mAh cell scores 82 on our battery axis, comfortably clearing a full day under heavy use. The 90 W charger earns a charging axis at 71, restoring most of the capacity quickly, though wireless-class convenience features are not part of the tracked specification. Endurance and flagship performance rarely share a chassis this directly.

Verdict

At about $899 new for 12/256 GB, the X300s bundles top-tier performance, a 200-megapixel camera and rare battery depth with a five-year software runway. It is the pick for buyers who want near-Pro capability without the Pro's size and price, and used market data in our catalog remains sparse, so the new channel is the reference for now.
