Launch Date: May 6, 2026 | Expected Price: ₹79,999 | Sales Start: May 14, 2026
Vivo India has officially confirmed the launch of the Vivo X300 FE on May 6, 2026, at 12:00 PM IST in New Delhi — alongside the X300 Ultra. The X300 FE is positioned as a compact flagship that brings professional-grade ZEISS imaging and class-leading performance to a broader audience, competing in one of India’s most hotly contested smartphone segments.
Confirmed by Vivo India’s official website and social channels, the device will go on sale starting May 14, 2026. Leaks and retail box images point to an expected launch price of ₹79,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant — a step up from the X200 FE but justified by a significant generational leap in performance and battery technology.
📸 Camera: ZEISS Co-Engineered Triple Setup
The camera system on the Vivo X300 FE is its most compelling selling point. In collaboration with ZEISS, Vivo has built a triple-camera array that spans from ultra-wide to super telephoto — covering virtually every shooting scenario.
| Camera | Specs |
|---|---|
| Main Camera | 50MP ZEISS · Sony IMX921 · f/1.57 aperture |
| Telephoto Camera | 50MP ZEISS · Sony IMX882 · 3x Optical / 100x Digital Zoom |
| Ultra-Wide Camera | 8MP · 110° Field of View · Low Distortion |
| Front Camera | 50MP ZEISS · 90° FoV · 0.8x–2x Seamless Zoom |
| Telephoto Sensor Size | 1/1.95″ Flagship-Level Sony IMX882 |
| ZEISS Extender Gen 2 | 200mm / 400mm equivalent (sold separately) |
The 50MP periscope telephoto camera is the standout feature. Using a flagship-grade 1/1.95-inch Sony IMX882 sensor paired with a precision periscope structure, it captures more light and finer detail at high zoom levels. The result is sharp, natural-looking distant scenes — even in backlit conditions or with moving subjects.
“Clarity from afar — a 1/1.95″ flagship-level Sony sensor works with a precision periscope structure to capture more light and finer detail at the source.” — Vivo India
Adding to the optical package is the ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 — a compact, 153g accessory (sold separately) that extends the phone’s reach to an effective 400mm equivalent focal length, built around a Kepler optical structure for clean, sharp telephoto shots without a bulky rig.
Key Camera Features
- ZEISS Multifocal Portrait — auto-balances skin tone and texture across 5 focal lengths (23mm to 100mm) for natural, polished portraits
- Street Photography Mode — captures real moments with motion blur, grain, bold tones and classic B&W styles
- AI Creative Camera — change photo backgrounds with AI (Snowy, Aurora, Glow, Celebration, Mist Spotlight and more)
- Adaptive Zoom Flash — diffused/blended/focused fill light tuned for 23mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, and 100mm focal lengths
⚡ Performance: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Powerhouse
Under the hood, the X300 FE is powered by Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 — an all-big-core architecture chip that delivers remarkable performance gains over its predecessor. Vivo pairs it with LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and UFS 4.1 high-speed storage, resulting in an AnTuTu benchmark score of over 3,161,598.
| Performance Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| CPU Uplift | +36% over previous generation |
| GPU Uplift | +11% over previous generation |
| NPU Uplift | +46% over previous generation |

| RAM | 12GB LPDDR5X Ultra |
| Storage | 256GB UFS 4.1 |
🔋 Battery: 6500mAh with Wired & Wireless FlashCharge
Perhaps the most impressive achievement of the X300 FE is cramming a 6500mAh battery into a device that is just 7.99mm thin and weighs 191 grams. The phone supports both 90W wired FlashCharge and 40W wireless FlashCharge — a rare combination in this segment.

For context, this places the X300 FE in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy S26 and OnePlus 15 — while arguably outclassing both in battery longevity and optical zoom versatility. Notably, the X300 FE also adds wireless charging which the standard Vivo X300 lacks, and packs a newer Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip.
