We’ve some nice information. The much-anticipated vivo X300 Extremely has simply arrived for assessment. We’re followers of vivo’s Extremely, as a result of it at all times pushes the envelope relating to imaging innovation.
As standard, we’re doing the unboxing first. Like its predecessors, this yr’s vivo Extremely comes with a color-matching case, a charger, and a USB cable.
What’s new with the X300 Extremely is the charger. It is now a 100W USB-C unit, up from the 90W USB-A unit of the X200 Extremely.
Unboxing the vivo X300 Extremely
We additionally acquired vivo’s new Pictures Equipment, which has grown considerably when it comes to equipment. Priced at €599 (however 50% off with an X300 Extremely pre-order), the package options loads of package. Our assortment incorporates the 2 new teleconverter lenses – the 400mm and 200mm, although the worth we talked about solely has the 400mm.
There’s additionally the case, the removable grip with a shutter button and digital camera controls, just a few filter rings, just a few lens caps, and a brand new leather-based strap with quick-release attachments for the cellphone itself.
The brand new picture package
This is a have a look at the 200mm-equivalent teleconverter lens subsequent to final yr’s 200mm for the vivo X200 Extremely. The brand new unit is significantly smaller. This could possibly be as a result of discount in lens aperture on the X300 Extremely’s 85mm zoom digital camera – it is again to an f/2.7 lens, whereas the X200 Extremely makes use of an 85mm f/2.3 lens. The sensor dimension is similar at 1/1.4-inch (although the sensor is a unique unit, extra on that in a bit).
The brand new 200mm lens is way smaller than the earlier one
This is the vivo X300 Extremely subsequent to its predecessor. The 2 are just about similar in top and width, however there are refined variations between them.
For starters, the X300 Extremely is flat on each its back and front, whereas the X200 Extremely has a refined curve on the fringe of its glass panels. Virtually talking, flat glass is healthier for drop endurance, display screen protectors, and many others. However a few of us right here really feel the mild curve offers a really feel of magnificence to a cellphone. It is all subjective, in fact.

The X300 Extremely has a wider body, although on paper, it is the X200 Extremely that is the thicker cellphone. Nonetheless, within the fingers, the brand new X300 Extremely positively feels thicker and heavier than the X200 Extremely.
One other distinction is the omission of a devoted digital camera button on the vivo X300 Extremely, one thing its predecessor premiered.
The brand new Extremely is a bit thicker and lacks a digital camera button
When it comes to cameras, the X300 Extremely premieres a bigger 200MP sensor below its fundamental digital camera. The lens itself retains its traditional, reportage 35mm focal size, however the optic is an f/1.9 unit, a bit dimmer than the f/1.7 of the X200 Extremely’s 35mm digital camera.
The 85mm zoom additionally obtained a sensor bump to the newest HP0 200MP imager. It is the identical dimension however brings technological enhancements, the most important of which is quicker autofocus (twice as quick, vivo says). The lens, however, is again to an 85mm f/2.7, a notable step again from the X200 Extremely’s f/2.3 lens. Maybe it is a matter of house restraints on this yr’s cellphone.
Impressively, the vivo X300 Extremely elevated the battery by 10% to six,600mAh, regardless of being virtually the identical dimension on paper. The European X300 Extremely will reportedly drop that quantity to six,395mAh, which continues to be greater than final yr’s 6,000mAh, so there’s that.
Talking as a long-term vivo X200 Extremely consumer, I can say that the X300 Extremely feels very related within the hand, however there are refined variations. The marginally wider body and the flat glass panels make a distinction. The cellphone feels safer within the hand, if a bit extra blunt and fewer refined.
These small bodily variations apart, the X300 Extremely feels acquainted to an X200 Extremely consumer. Upgrading will likely be equal to coming residence to the identical condo however with a recent set of drapes (white, because the case could also be). And that is no dangerous factor!
