Vivo X300 Ultra, X300 FE expected to launch in India in May, check probable camera features and more

Vivo is expected to launch its premium X300 Ultra smartphone in India on May 7, alongside the X300 FE, marking the company’s first ‘Ultra’ model debut in the country. The device is likely to go on sale starting May 14, according to reports, although an official confirmation is still awaited.

The X300 Ultra is tipped to arrive in India early May, shortly after its China debut last month. If the reported timeline holds, this would position Vivo’s flagship offering directly in the premium segment with a strong focus on camera performance.

The simultaneous launch of the X300 FE suggests Vivo may also be targeting the compact flagship segment alongside its top-end model.

Camera centric flagship positioning

The X300 Ultra stands out with its dual 200mp camera system, featuring a 200mp main sensor and a 200mp periscope telephoto lens. The periscope lens offers 3.7x optical zoom and up to 105x digital zoom.

A dedicated teleconverter further enhances zoom capability, delivering up to 17.4x optical output, positioning the device as a strong contender in long range mobile photography.

The setup also includes a 50mp Ultra wide camera and a 50mp front camera for selfies, rounding out a comprehensive imaging package.

Performance, display and battery

Beyond cameras, the device packs a 7,000mah battery, aimed at delivering more than a full day of heavy usage. It features a 6.82 inch LTPO OLED 2k display with a 144hz refresh rate, designed for smooth scrolling, gaming and media consumption.

The smartphone is powered by the snapdragon 8 elite gen 5 chipset, placing it firmly in the flagship performance category.

Design and build

Expected pricing in India

In China, the X300 Ultra starts at cny 6,999, roughly translating to Rs 95,700. However, pricing in India is expected to be higher, especially considering that the X300 pro is already priced at Rs 1,09,999.

Strategic push in premium segment

With the X300 Ultra, Vivo is making a clear push into the Ultra premium smartphone segment in India, focusing heavily on camera innovation and high end specifications. The launch could intensify competition in the flagship space, especially among brands targeting photography enthusiasts.
