vivo has officially introduced the X300 FE, a lightweight flagship built for people who want serious imaging power and high-end performance without carrying around a bulky device. It’s aimed at modern urban users who move between work, travel, and content creation, blending professional-grade photography, AI tools, and long-term software support into a compact, flat design. In short, it’s designed to feel light in the hand but still deliver a full flagship experience—especially when it comes to imaging and everyday performance.

A compact flagship built for serious photography

At the heart of the X300 FE is vivo’s ZEISS co-engineered imaging system, pairing flagship hardware with advanced AI processing. The camera setup includes a 50 MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, a 50 MP ZEISS Main Camera, and a 110° ultra-wide low-distortion lens, giving users a flexible range for everything from street scenes to concerts and travel shots.

A standout addition this generation is the ability to reach a 200 mm equivalent focal length using the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2—making its first appearance in the FE lineup. The extender uses a compact Kepler-based optical system with 15 high-transmittance glass elements arranged in two groups. Despite the optical upgrade, vivo has reduced its weight from 210g to 153g compared to the previous generation, making it much easier to carry for events like concerts or sports matches where long-range shots matter.

Image quality is further boosted by the AI True Clarity Engine, which combines NICE 3.0 Optical Reconstruction, MAGIC 2.0 Image Restoration, and Magic Cloud processing. The goal is simple: cleaner detail, better texture reconstruction, and more reliable clarity even in low light or zoom-heavy situations.

Built for real-world shooting moments

The X300 FE clearly leans into real-world photography scenarios rather than just specs. Its Stage Mode is tuned for concerts and live performances, where lighting is often unpredictable. With the help of Telephoto Magic 2.0 and GTR 3.0 tuning, it improves facial clarity, color accuracy, and tonal smoothness even under harsh stage lighting.

There’s also Dual-View Stage Video, which lets users capture both the performance and their reaction at the same time—essentially preserving the full experience rather than just the stage.

For low-light environments, Flash Portrait adapts zoom-based flash output to keep skin tones natural while balancing foreground and background lighting.

Beyond events, vivo also highlights Street Photography Mode, which intentionally preserves grain, motion blur, and ambient imperfections to create more authentic, documentary-style images. Meanwhile, ZEISS Multifocal Portraits offer focal lengths ranging from 23 mm to 100 mm for more controlled portrait storytelling.

Video options are equally flexible, supporting:

  • 4K at 60fps for everyday content
  • 4K at 120fps for high-detail motion capture
  • 8K at 30fps for maximum resolution

On top of that, the AI Creative Camera suite introduces tools like AI Portrait styles, AI Magic Move, AI Image Expander, AI Reflection Erase, and AI Erase—giving users more control over edits and creative direction directly in-device.

Lightweight design with a premium feel

Design-wise, the X300 FE sticks to a clean, flat aesthetic. It features a 6.31-inch flat display with ultra-thin bezels, weighing just 191g and measuring 7.99 mm thick, making it easy to use one-handed without feeling fragile.

The back uses a Metallic Sand AG glass finish, giving it a matte texture that reduces fingerprints while improving grip. The camera module is integrated through a floating, droplet-inspired design that blends more naturally into the body instead of standing out harshly.

It comes in two color options:

  • Mist Purple
  • Luxe Black

Both are designed around a more refined urban aesthetic rather than flashy finishes, paired with an aerospace-grade aluminum frame for durability.

Software built around a connected ecosystem

Out of the box, the X300 FE runs OriginOS 6, vivo’s latest software platform focused on cross-device continuity. It aims to create a smoother ecosystem between phones, PCs, tablets, and even iPhones.

Key features include:

  • vivo Office Kit for cross-platform productivity (Windows, Mac, iPad)
  • One-Tap Transfer for iPhone integration
  • Origin Island for contextual smart actions
  • Private Space for secure file and app isolation
  • Origin Smooth Engine for long-term performance stability

vivo is also promising long-term support, including a 5-year smooth experience guarantee, helping the device stay responsive over time.

Flagship performance in a compact body

Powering everything is the Snapdragon® 8 Gen 5 platform, delivering flagship-level performance for gaming, multitasking, and content creation.

To keep things cool, the phone uses an Efficient VC Liquid Cooling System with a 4005 mm² vapor chamber and thermal graphite layers to maintain stable performance under load.

Despite its slim design, the X300 FE packs a large 6500 mAh BlueVolt battery, supported by:

  • 90W FlashCharge
  • 40W wireless charging

It also uses 4th-gen silicon anode technology and an energy efficiency system designed to improve battery density and longevity.

Durability is another focus, with IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance, plus long-term support promises of:

  • 5 years OS updates
  • 7 years security updates
  • 5 years smooth performance guarantee

Pricing and availability (Singapore)

The vivo X300 FE will launch in Singapore on 6 June 2026, with pre-orders running from 25 May to 5 June through Shopee, Lazada, TikTok, and selected retailers including Challenger, Best Denki, Courts, Harvey Norman, Gain City, and Popular.

The X300 FE positions itself as a “no-compromise compact flagship”—especially for users who prioritize mobile photography and want telephoto reach, AI-assisted imaging, and long-term performance in a lighter, more portable form factor.
