Vivo has silently launched a phone that’s going to make a lot of people jealous — especially if you love compact smartphones that still pack flagship-level power. Meet the Vivo X300 FE, the newest addition to Vivo’s popular X300 series, and it just went official in Russia.
Here’s the kicker: this phone squeezes a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, a 6500mAh battery, and a 50MP periscope telephoto camera into a body that’s barely 8mm thick and weighs just 190 grams. That’s flagship territory in a surprisingly compact form factor.
If the design and specs sound familiar, that’s because the Vivo X300 FE shares a lot of DNA with the Vivo S50 Pro Mini that launched in China back in December 2025. But this time, it’s reaching a wider audience under the X300 branding.
Quick Take: The Vivo X300 FE is a compact flagship with a 6.31-inch display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, triple camera setup with 3x periscope zoom, 6500mAh battery with 90W charging, and IP68+IP69 durability — all in a phone that weighs just 190g.
Display: Small But Stunning
In a world where 6.7-inch and 6.8-inch phones dominate, the Vivo X300 FE goes refreshingly compact with a 6.31-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED display. But don’t let the smaller size fool you — this screen is packed with top-tier specs.
It supports a variable 1–120Hz refresh rate (thanks to the LTPO tech), which means it adapts smartly to save battery when you don’t need high refresh rates. The panel can hit a staggering 5,000 nits peak brightness, making it one of the brightest screens you’ll find on any smartphone right now. It also features 4320Hz high-frequency PWM dimming, which is great news for people who are sensitive to screen flicker.

Performance: Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 Under the Hood
The Vivo X300 FE doesn’t hold back when it comes to power. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, built on a cutting-edge 3nm process, paired with the Adreno 829 GPU. This is the same chip found in the most expensive Android flagships of 2026 — and Vivo has packed it into a relatively compact phone.

You get 12GB of LPDDR5X Ultra RAM and a choice between 256GB or 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage. Translation? This phone will fly through any app, game, or multitasking scenario you throw at it. The software side is equally impressive, running Android 16 with OriginOS 6.
And here’s the cherry on top: Vivo is promising 5 years of Android updates and 7 years of security patches. That’s a commitment that matches what Samsung and Google offer on their flagships.
Camera: A Triple Setup That Punches Hard
Photography enthusiasts, pay attention. The Vivo X300 FE brings a seriously capable triple camera system:
Main Camera: A 50MP sensor (Sony IMX921) with an f/1.57 aperture and OIS. This is one of the widest apertures on any phone right now, meaning it’ll capture significantly more light for better low-light performance.
Ultra-Wide Camera: An 8MP 106-degree ultra-wide lens with f/2.2 aperture — good for landscapes and group shots.
Telephoto Camera: This is where things get exciting. A 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom, powered by the Sony IMX882 (1/1.95-inch sensor). Periscope cameras at this level are usually found in phones costing significantly more. Vivo has also included their Aura Light feature for enhanced portrait lighting.
Up front, there’s a 50MP autofocus selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture — more than enough for sharp selfies and clear video calls.
Battery & Charging: The Real Showstopper
This is where the Vivo X300 FE genuinely impresses. Despite its compact 6.31-inch form factor, Vivo has managed to fit in a massive 6500mAh battery. For context, most full-sized 6.7-inch phones struggle to cross the 5000mAh mark.
Charging speeds are equally impressive:
⚡ 90W Wired Fast Charging🔋 40W Wireless Fast Charging🔄 Wireless Reverse Charging🪫 6500mAh Capacity
Whether you’re a heavy user or someone who just hates carrying a charger everywhere, this battery and charging combo should keep you covered for well beyond a full day.
Build & Durability: Built Like a Tank
The Vivo X300 FE doesn’t just look premium — it’s built to last. The phone features an aviation-grade aluminum frame and comes with IP68 + IP69 ratings. While IP68 is fairly common on flagships (protection against submersion in water), the IP69 rating is much rarer. It means the phone can withstand high-pressure, high-temperature water jets — a level of protection usually seen on industrial equipment.
Other hardware features include an Ultrasonic Fingerprint 2.0 sensor built into the display, stereo speakers with Hi-Res audio certification, and NFC for contactless payments.
For connectivity, it supports 5G SA/NSA, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6.0, and dual-frequency GPS (L1+L5) — ticking every box you’d expect from a 2026 flagship.
