Based on a review by Technology Gyan (accessed 2026-05-06).
Based on this review alone: buy it if you care about super premium feel and compact design (191g, 7.99mm thin) — just accept no sd card slot for expandable storage.
The reviewer concludes that the Vivo X300 FE is a "compact but a powerhouse phone" offering impressive performance. He highlights the "chumeshwar display" (superb display) and praises the portrait photography capabilities, especially when utilizing the extended telephoto lens. Overall, he sees a significant performance upgrade compared to the previous model.
This video provides an unboxing and comprehensive review of the Vivo X300 FE. The reviewer thoroughly examines its design, display capabilities, camera system including an extended telephoto kit, overall performance with gaming and benchmarks, battery life, and software features. Various aspects of the phone are put to the test.
The Vivo X300 FE is a highly recommended compact flagship, excelling in camera performance and raw power. Its dedicated ZEISS telephoto extended kit allows for incredible zoom capabilities up to 1600mm, producing social media-ready portraits with excellent skin tuning and edge detection, though low light photos are merely improved. While gaming on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset is smooth at 90fps, the phone can feel slightly warm during extended sessions. If you prioritize a powerful, durable, and photography-centric compact phone, this device is an excellent choice, but if you need expandable storage, you will be disappointed.
