Jaipur, India. April 13, 2026

Vivo is finally bringing its much-awaited X300 series to India, and the excitement is real. According to fresh leaks in Media, both the compact X300 FE and the premium X300 Ultra are expected to launch here in the first weak of May 2026. The smaller FE model could drop as early as the first week, while the Ultra is rumoured for a May 7 announcement with sales kicking off around May 14. If the reports hold true, this could be one of the biggest premium phone drops of the month.

What makes this launch interesting is how Vivo is balancing two very different needs: one for users who want a pocket-friendly powerhouse, and another for serious photography fans chasing pro-level zoom and detail.

Vivo X300 FE: Small Size, Big Battery, Everyday Flagship Vibes

Think of the X300 FE as Vivo’s way of making flagship performance feel more approachable and easy to carry around. It’s basically the global version of the Vivo S50 Pro Mini that’s already out in some markets, but tuned for India with an exclusive green colour option.

Here’s what we’re hearing on the specs:

• Display: A crisp 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and a blinding 5,000 nits peak brightness.
• Processor: Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (3nm) – plenty fast for daily use and light gaming.
• Memory & Storage: 12GB LPDDR5X RAM paired with 256GB or 512GB UFS 4.1 storage.
• Cameras (Zeiss-tuned): 50MP main with OIS, 50MP 3x periscope telephoto for solid zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide. Selfies come from a 50MP front camera with screen flash.
• Battery: A generous 6,500mAh silicon-carbon cell with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.
• Build: Super slim at just 7.99mm and around 191g, with IP68/IP69 rating and an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint scanner.

It’ll run Android 16 out of the box with Vivo’s latest Funtouch OS. Expected price in India Around ₹54,999 to ₹64,999 for the base model. Perfect if you want flagship features without the flagship bulk.

Vivo X300 Ultra: The Camera Monster That’s Finally Coming to India

This is the one photography lovers have been waiting for. The X300 Ultra launched in China back in late March and is Vivo’s first “Ultra” model heading to Indian shores. It’s built like a proper flagship with some serious camera hardware.

Key highlights include:

• Display: Massive 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED, QHD+ resolution, 144Hz refresh, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support.
• Processor: Top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with Vivo’s own imaging chip for better photo processing.
• Memory & Storage: Up to 16GB RAM and up to 1TB of fast UFS 4.1 storage.
• Cameras (Zeiss co-engineered): World-first dual 200MP setup – a 200MP main sensor with gimbal OIS and a 200MP periscope telephoto (3.7x optical zoom) plus a 50MP ultra-wide. You also get an optional ZEISS Telephoto Extender Kit for crazy zoom reach.
• Battery: 6,600mAh with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.
• Build: Premium feel at about 8.2mm thick and 232g, with expected IP69 rating.

Prices in India are expected to start from roughly ₹95,990 and could go up to ₹1.3 lakh+ depending on the variant. It’s clearly aimed at users who want the absolute best in low-light shots, portrait work, and zoom photography.

Quick Look

Why This Matters for Indian Buyers

Vivo has been smart about Indian tastes – big batteries, fast charging, and strong cameras have always been big sellers here. The X300 FE makes true flagship performance feel more everyday, while the Ultra aims straight at the top camera phone crowd (think competition with the upcoming Oppo Find X9 Ultra or OnePlus flagships).

Pre-bookings and launch offers are likely to hit Mobile Shop near you and Vivo’s official site soon, possibly with a smartwatch bundled in too.
