Vivo Y300 GT review: specs, battery & used prices

Summary

The Vivo Y300 GT is a 2025 endurance mid-ranger on the Dimensity 8400, with a 6.78-inch 144 Hz OLED, a 7620 mAh battery with 90 W charging, and an IP65 body at 212 grams. Our catalog scores it 92 on battery against an everyday axis of 87, a pairing that defines the phone: performance-chip efficiency with near-tablet capacity. It launches near $280 for the 8/256 GB trim, with used 12/512 GB examples around $315. The camera is a single 50-megapixel stabilized main sensor, the standard trade of the endurance class. The Vivo S30 Pro mini covers the compact end of Vivo's 2025 line, and the Vivo X200 is the flagship tier above.

Display and design

The 6.78-inch flat OLED refreshes at 144 Hz with an uncataloged peak brightness; contrast and color are properly OLED, and outdoor legibility is acceptable for the class. The 212-gram IP65 body carries the 7620 mAh cell with flat-frame ergonomics that keep the bulk predictable in the hand. Design is functional rather than expressive, with the battery as the invisible centerpiece.

Performance

The Dimensity 8400 earns an everyday axis of 87 and a gaming axis of 47 in our model, the same efficient all-big-core chip as pricier performance mid-rangers: current titles run at high settings, and the huge battery doubles as a thermal buffer that keeps sustained sessions stable. This combination of gaming capability and two-day endurance at a $280 price is the Y300 GT's entire argument, and it is a strong one.

Camera

A single 50-megapixel main sensor with optical stabilization covers photography, recording up to 4K30; no ultrawide or telephoto is present in our records. The camera axis of 18 is the explicit trade: daylight shots are clean, stabilized video is steady, and there is nothing else. Buyers with photographic ambitions should step up Vivo's S or X lines instead.

Battery and charging

The 7620 mAh battery scores 92 on our battery axis, realistically delivering two full days of standard use and the best part of a week for light communication use. The 90 W charging scores 71, refilling the massive cell in about an hour, which removes the usual endurance-class complaint of slow top-ups. Wireless charging is absent, as expected at this price.

Verdict

The Vivo Y300 GT is a two-day phone with a genuine gaming chip for $280, and its identity is that clear: battery and performance are excellent, the camera is a single lens and nothing more. For delivery work, travel, gaming commutes or anyone tired of lunchtime charging, it is among the most rational endurance buys in our catalog. Photographers and zoom users have obvious alternatives elsewhere in the lineup.
