Vivo X300 FE could bring compact flagship heat to India in May with 6,500mAh battery, Zeiss cameras and a new green finish
Compact phones usually ask buyers to compromise on battery, zoom camera or charging speed. The Vivo X300 FE looks like it may try a different route. If current reports hold, Vivo’s next FE model could arrive in India in the first week of May with a smaller 6.31-inch body, flagship-grade Snapdragon power, a 50MP telephoto camera and a large 6,500mAh battery.
- Vivo X300 FE is tipped to launch in India in the first week of May
- Black, Purple and a likely India-exclusive Green colour are being reported
- Expected highlights include Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, 6.31-inch 120Hz display, 50MP telephoto and 40W wireless charging
- Leaked India pricing currently points to a possible starting price of ₹54,999
What makes the X300 FE interesting is not just the specs sheet, but the space it wants to occupy. Bigger phones are easy to sell on battery size alone, but a compact phone with a 6,500mAh battery instantly changes the conversation. That gives Vivo a strong pitch for buyers who want one-hand comfort without giving up all-day endurance.
Reported India details suggest Vivo may position the handset as a style-led premium option. The phone is expected to arrive in Black, Purple and Green, with Green said to be exclusive to India. That could help the brand give the device a more fresh and market-specific identity instead of making it feel like just another global carry-over.
On paper, the expected hardware looks solid enough to attract attention beyond the compact-phone crowd. Current reports point to a 6.31-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, up to 12GB RAM and 256GB or 512GB storage, plus IP68 and IP69 protection. The battery is said to support 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging, which is a notable addition in this size class.
The camera setup could be another talking point if Vivo keeps the listed global hardware unchanged for India. The reported setup includes a 50MP main camera, a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while selfies are expected to be handled by a 50MP front shooter. Zeiss branding is also part of the package, which gives the phone extra weight in the premium camera conversation.
Pricing will decide how big this story becomes. The Vivo X300 FE is already available in Russia, where the base version has been reported at roughly ₹71,000 after conversion. In India, however, one fresh report claims the phone could start at ₹54,999 for the 12GB and 256GB version. That would put it right into the middle of the current upper mid-range and premium performance fight.

How the Vivo X300 FE may fit into the current market
If Vivo keeps the starting price close to the X200 FE, the X300 FE could become a serious option for buyers who want a smaller phone with a dedicated telephoto camera. That matters because some of its likely rivals focus harder on raw performance and battery size, while Vivo seems ready to sell balance, camera flexibility and form factor together.
| Handset | Display | Chipset | Battery and charging | Camera focus | Price in India |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vivo X300 FE | 6.31-inch, 120Hz, 1.5K | Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 | 6,500mAh, 90W wired, 40W wireless | 50MP main, 50MP telephoto, 8MP ultra-wide | Expected from ₹54,999 |
| Vivo X200 FE | 6.31-inch AMOLED | MediaTek Dimensity 9300+ | 6,500mAh, 90W wired | 50MP main, 50MP periscope, 8MP ultra-wide | ₹54,999 |
| OnePlus 15R | 165Hz display | Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 | 7,400mAh | Performance-first pitch | Currently from ₹50,499 |
| iQOO 15R | 6.59-inch 1.5K AMOLED | Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 | 7,600mAh, 100W | 50MP main + 8MP ultra-wide | ₹44,999 |

Pros and possible concerns
| Pros | Possible concerns |
|---|---|
| Compact size without dropping to a small battery | India launch and final pricing are still not official |
| Dedicated 50MP telephoto camera can stand out in this segment | 8MP ultra-wide may look modest beside some rivals on paper |
| Wireless charging adds premium appeal | Performance rivals offer even bigger batteries at lower prices |
| IP68 and IP69 ratings strengthen the all-round package | Compact screen may not suit buyers who prefer a larger panel for gaming and video |
The strongest part of the X300 FE story is that it does not seem built around just one headline feature. It aims to combine size, battery, zoom camera and flagship-grade internals in one device. That gives it a more complete identity than many phones that lean only on charging speed or benchmark numbers.
For now, the phone remains one official announcement away from becoming a clear market contender. But if Vivo launches it in India around the reported price and keeps the listed global camera and charging setup intact, the X300 FE could quickly become one of the most interesting compact premium phones to watch this season.
