Key Takeaways
1. The Vivo X300 Pro and Vivo X300 will have a quicker global launch, available as soon as next month.
2. More global influencers and journalists attended the launch event, indicating increased international interest.
3. A hands-on review video highlights the camera kit and compares the Vivo X300 Pro with previous models.
4. The European version of the Vivo X300 Pro has a smaller battery (5,440mAh) compared to the Chinese version (6,510mAh) due to transport regulations.
5. Vivo faces challenges with battery sizes in Europe, which could be addressed by adopting a thicker two-cell battery if regulations change.
The Vivo X300 Pro and its smaller sibling, the Vivo X300, have recently been introduced in China. However, this time, the global launch is set to occur much sooner. Unlike previous years when fans had to wait until January 2026 for the global edition, Vivo has confirmed that users can purchase the new device as early as next month.
Quick Launch for International Market
There’s a clear sign of a quicker international release since more global influencers and journalists attended the launch event in Shanghai than ever before. Some have even received global review units already. For instance, Ben Sin from Ben’s Gadget Reviews Channel has shared a hands-on video, which you can find embedded below.
In-Depth Review Insights
His video, which lasts nearly 12 minutes, starts with an unboxing of the Vivo X300 Pro, featuring the camera kit and teleconverter. He goes on to compare some technical specifications with the Vivo X200 Pro and the Vivo X200 Ultra, showcasing photos he took for reference. The excitement for global Vivo admirers kicks in around the 8:15 mark, as he delves into the operating system, which now carries the same OriginOS 6 name as in China.
Battery Capacity Discrepancies
The screenshot above highlights a notable issue with the European Vivo X300 Pro, which Ben discusses starting at the 9:50 mark. Unlike the Chinese version with a robust 6,510mAh battery, the EU version offers only 5,440mAh, a significant reduction. This change is largely due to European transport regulations that limit single-cell batteries to a maximum of 20Wh, similar to the rules in the United States.
In comparison, the Vivo X200 Pro has a battery size of 5,200mAh in Europe versus 6,000mAh in China. The mere increase of 240mAh in the Vivo X300 Pro is rather disappointing for European users. However, Vivo isn’t the only company facing this hurdle and could only find a way around it by opting for a thicker two-cell battery, should there be no alterations in the law.
