Vivo Y300 Pro Benchmark Reveals Mediocre Processor Performance
Vivo is gearing up for the release of its Y300 Pro smartphone, which is set to feature a massive 6,500mAh battery paired with 80W fast charging capabilities.
Performance Insights
Recently, a Geekbench listing has provided insights into the phone’s performance. The Y300 Pro appeared on the platform with the model number V2410A. It is powered by the older Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 processor, a choice that some competitors have moved beyond. The benchmark results reflect this, with the device scoring 2,801 in multi-core performance and less than 1,000 in single-core performance.

Design and Camera Features
In addition to the battery, Vivo has confirmed other significant features of the Y300 Pro. Official teasers indicate that its design draws inspiration from various Vivo models. The back of the phone sports a "Jade Ring" camera module reminiscent of the flagship X100 Ultra, incorporating the ring flash design seen in the Y200.
The front of the device will showcase a 6.77-inch micro-quad-curved OLED screen, boasting 5000 nits brightness and SGS eye protection. For photography, the rear camera includes a 50-megapixel primary sensor, while the front features a 32-megapixel camera for selfies.
Additional Features and Color Options
Enhancements have been made to the popular “career mode,” now in its second generation, which is designed for professional riders. This includes features like better hands-free calls, enhanced network optimization, and smart assistance for delivery tasks. The Y300 Pro will be available in four unique color options: Titanium, Gold Inlaid Jade, Mutton Fat White, and Black Jade Black.
