The big screen makes the phone apt for content consumption, and the high refresh rate for gaming. inside of the phone runs the premium-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, ensuring top-tier performance.

In terms of design, the Vivo X300 Ultra continues with a circular camera island and a flat-edged frame. It comes in Film Green, Silver Tone, and Black colours. In China, the X300 Ultra begins at CNY 6,999, which translates to around Rs 95,700. Pricing would be understandably different when the Vivo X300 Ultra launches in the country. Even the Vivo X300 Pro is carrying a price tag of Rs 1,09,999, so we can expect the Ultra model to cost much higher.

Although there’s no confirmation yet, the Vivo X300 Ultra, if it does end up launching in the country, would definitely be a top pick for cameras. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is already available here, and OPPO is also highly speculated to bring the Find X9 Ultra here as well. So, Vivo launching the X300 Ultra is quite likely.

This phone would be highly recommended for photography enthusiasts who want the most out of a smartphone camera and are willing to spend. It would still be wise to wait for official pricing and reviews before making a decision.
