The diminishing market for compact smartphones persists, yet a select number of manufacturers continue to produce flagship devices within this category. While the trend towards larger form factors appears dominant, the availability of compact flagship phones remains a noteworthy segment for the time being.
The vivo X300 represents a potential addition to a relatively exclusive group: compact flagship devices available beyond the Chinese market. Although vivo has yet to release a definitive global launch plan, the existence of a global ROM and the company’s stated intention to broaden the X300 series’ availability suggest a significant international rollout.

Visual inspection of the X300 alongside the larger X300 Pro highlights the size differential. The X300 features a 6.31-inch display, an 8mm profile, and a weight of 190 grams, resulting in a design that is both compact and ergonomic.
The X300 maintains a similar feature set to the X300 Pro, differentiating itself primarily through its camera island design, which incorporates a distinctive, flowing edge, minimizing the presence of hard edges.

The X300’s packaging includes a color-matched protective case, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a 90W charger, providing a comprehensive set of accessories. Notably, the X300’s retail package surpasses that of the Pro model in terms of included components.
