Vivo X300 FE Review

Introduction

Global sales for the vivo X300 FE have officially begun, and we are taking a close look at what might be the most well-rounded phone in the X300 family. While the standard X300, Pro, and Ultra models are strictly focused on pushing the limits of smartphone photography, the FE model has a different goal. It aims to offer the perfect balance of speedy performance, a great camera, a compact size, and long battery life.

Design and Display

The X300 FE is built to be both durable and compact, offering a fresh look compared to its siblings.

  • The Screen: It features a highly compact 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display. It is packed with a high resolution, a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, and gets incredibly bright.

  • The Design: While it shares the tough IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance of the rest of the X300 series, its design stands out. Thanks to a horizontal camera strip on the back, it actually looks a lot more like a recent Google Pixel phone than a traditional vivo device.

  • Special Editions: For true camera enthusiasts, vivo offers a special edition that includes a Zeiss Professional Kit, featuring a 200mm Zeiss Gen 2 Telephoto Extender Lens, a mounting case, and a carrying pouch.

Performance and Internals

Despite its compact size, the X300 FE is a powerhouse. It runs on the high-end Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, paired with 12GB of fast RAM and speedy storage, ensuring everything runs flawlessly.

It also packs a massive 6,500mAh battery, which is incredibly impressive for a phone this size. When it comes to cameras, the main 50MP and 3x telephoto lenses are excellent. However, the basic 8MP ultra-wide camera is a bit of a letdown—especially considering this phone costs more than the standard X300, which offers better ultra-wide hardware.

The Unboxing Experience

Unlike some competitors, vivo does not hold back on included accessories. The vivo X300 FE comes in a sleek, square black box filled with everything you need. Inside, you will find a fast 90W charging adapter, a high-quality 8.5A USB cable, and a color-matching soft case (like a stylish lilac to match the phone’s back panel) to protect your new device right out of the box.
