Vivo is gearing up to launch its flagship X300 series and the spotlight is firmly on its cameras. Going by fresh teasers shown by the brand, the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro will be the world's first smartphones capable of recording 4K @ 60 FPS Cinematic Portrait videos, a milestone that even Apple's latest iPhone 17 is yet to achieve.
Vivo's Product Manager, Han Boxiao, revealed on Weibo that the X300 lineup will debut with the industry-first feature, which is powered by the brand's proprietary V3+ imaging chip. Currently, only the iPhones are capable of recording Cinematic portrait videos, albeit at 4K @ 30 FPS. Even the recently launched iPhone 17 series can't go beyond that.
Additionally, the smartphones are said to bring advanced focus tracking capabilities, millisecond-level motion tracking and shutter responses. We believe a large part of these new capabilities can be attributed to the custom-made 200 MP Samsung HPB "Thanos" sensor, which is making its way to the devices.
Boxiao also reiterated that the X300 and the X300 Pro will feature the upcoming MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor. This will make the X300 series the third generation of Vivo flagships to bear MediaTek's cutting-edge mobile SoC.
Boxiao claims that with the Dimensity 9500 chipset at the helm, the Vivo X300 and the Vivo X300 Pro "became the first phones to break the 4 million mark on AnTuTu". He has further added that the smartphones will be able to fully utilise the industry-leading cooling and efficiency capabilities of the SoC. It is clearly evident that performance-wise, the 2025 Blue factory flagships will deliver a premium experience.
Other than that, the latest post has not revealed any further details. However, it was revealed earlier that the X300 series is also going to adopt a new design language with a sculpted back panel where the camera deco is seamlessly integrated with the back glass.
Additionally, the Vivo X300 series is said to feature super slim display bezels by incorporating LIPO (Low-Injection Pressure Overmolding) technology. The OLED display panel is also said to feature Zeiss Optic's Master Color display calibration and dual eye-care support. Both phones are also expected to arrive with a dual IP68 + IP69 rating, wireless charging and an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner.
That said, the smartphones are expected to break cover by mid-October 2025. Hence, we will not have to wait long for all the official details of the smartphones to emerge.
