It’s been kind of hectic here at GSMArena HQ in the last few weeks – we’re getting phones left and right and are working pretty much nonstop to bring you guys content! But we’re slowly getting through the pile, and today, we’ve got the recently globalized vivo X300 FE in the house!
Unveiled and rolled internationally alongside the vivo X300 Ultra, the vivo X300 FE is coming in two configurations – 12/256GB and 12/512GB. We’re not sure of the price just yet.
The phone ships with a color-matching case, a 90W charger, and a USB-A to USB-C cable.
The X300 FE is the compact flagship in the series, which is obvious when you look at it side-by-side with the 6.82-inch vivo X300 Ultra. The FE is also by far the prettier phone of the two, doing away with the imposing circular camera island and going with a more subtle camera bar (or visor).

In the hand, the 6.31-inch phone feels robust and substantial and not at all like a small phone. Still, dimensions-wise, the phone is relatively svelte at just over 8mm in thickness, and not overwhelming at around 190 grams. Close your eyes, however, and you’d think you’re holding a bigger handset.
Perhaps that’s to do with its flat sides and rectangular edges. Or, perhaps it’s to do with the phone’s impressive 6,500mAh battery. Either way, the vivo X300 FE is a beefy phone, packaged in a compact body.
It’s not quite as high-end as the X300 Ultra and it sits closer to the vivo X300. In fact, it’s very similar to the X300 – both share seemingly the same 6.31-inch display, both have triple rear cameras, though the X300 may have an edge with a slightly better, on paper, 200MP main camera. The X300 FE, however, handily beats the X300 in battery tech with a higher-capacity 6,500mAh unit.
Vivo’s current lineup is exciting to say the least, with competitive options all across the X300 series. Let’s just see the final price of the X300 FE in Europe!
