Vivo X300s Specs: Everything We Know About the New “SuperMax” Flagship
Vivo is set to shake up the premium smartphone market later this month with the official launch of the Vivo X300s in China. Confirmed by executive Han Boxiao, the device serves as the direct successor to the X200s, though its internal development tells a more ambitious story. Originally referred to as the “X300 Max” during its engineering phase, Vivo ultimately opted for the Vivo X300s moniker to maintain brand familiarity, revealing that the “s” officially stands for “SuperMax”.
Vivo X300s: A New Strategic Tier
The Vivo X300s is strategically positioned between the standard X300 and the photography-centric X300 Ultra. While the Ultra remains the choice for professional mobile photographers, the X300s is designed for a specific demographic: users who demand flagship-level photography alongside robust, competitive gaming performance.
Revolutionary Display and Gaming Performance
For the first time in the Vivo X series, the Vivo X300s features a high-performance 144Hz refresh rate, moving beyond the 120Hz standard found in most contemporary flagships.
-
Flat Canvas: The device utilizes a 6.78-inch flat BOE Q10 Plus display panel, eschewing curved edges for a more gamer-friendly interface.
-
Native High Frame Rates: It supports native 144FPS for major MOBA titles, including Honor of Kings and League of Legends: Wild Rift.
-
Eye Comfort: The screen integrates “circular polarized light 2.0” technology, designed to reduce eye strain during extended gaming sessions.
Immersive Audio and Haptics
To bolster its gaming credentials, Vivo has integrated high-end components typically found in specialized gaming sub-brands.
-
War Drum Audio: The Vivo X300s borrows the “1511 War Drum Master” symmetrical dual speakers from the iQOO 15, utilizing larger speaker chambers for superior positional audio and volume.
-
Ultra-Sensory Vibration: The device houses a custom 751440 vibration motor—the largest ever in an X series phone. Despite its efficient size, it matches the intensity of larger motors and offers 2.2x the bandwidth of standard hardware.
-
4D Feedback: The haptic system supports custom 4D vibration patterns for over ten popular mobile titles.
Vivo X300s: Flagship Optics and Rumored Power
Despite its gaming focus, the Vivo X300s does not compromise on imaging. It leads with a massive 200MP Zeiss-branded main sensor in a triple-camera arrangement.
While official performance benchmarks are still pending, leaks suggest the device will be powered by MediaTek’s upcoming flagship Dimensity 9500 chipset. To support the high-drain 144Hz display and intense gaming sessions, a rumored 7,000mAh battery is expected to be included, potentially setting a new endurance record for the series.
The Vivo X300s will officially debut in China later this month, with pricing and global availability details expected to follow shortly.
