Vivo X300 FE was unveiled in Delhi recently as a compact premium smartphone in the sub-Rs 80,000 segment. However, despite being positioned below the flagship tier, the device is currently more expensive than the Vivo X300 in India.
Vivo X300 FE is placed above the standard Vivo X300 and this is leading to speculation that the Vivo X300 may either get a price hike soon or could eventually be discontinued.
Vivo X300 Lineup Pricing
Vivo’s current X300 lineup now includes four models. The Vivo X300 starts at Rs 75,999, while the Vivo X300 FE begins at Rs 79,999. Above them sit the Vivo X300 Pro priced at Rs 1,09,999 and the Vivo X300 Ultra priced at Rs 1,59,999.
The Vivo X300 Pro and Ultra fit naturally within the lineup hierarchy but the Vivo X300 FE sits awkwardly between the standard and Pro models in terms of pricing.
The Vivo X300 FE is also significantly more expensive than its predecessorVivo X200 FE, which launched at a starting price of Rs 54,999.
One of the reported reasons behind the Vivo X300 FE’s higher pricing is the ongoing global memory shortage.
The rising demand for AI-focused hardware and components has reportedly increased memory prices, resulting in higher production costs for smartphone makers.
Notably, Vivo’s FE (Fashion Edition) is a series that has been design for the the sub-flagship segment and thus, this high price strategy of the X300 FE somewhat surprising.
Current pricing makes the Vivo X300 appear to be the better value option across most variants.
The Vivo X300 FE is priced at Rs 79,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant and Rs 89,999 for the 12GB + 512GB model. In comparison, the Vivo X300 starts at Rs 75,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant, Rs 81,999 for the 12GB + 512GB option, and Rs 84,999 for the 16GB + 512GB variant.

Vivo X300 Offers Flagship Hardware
The Vivo X300 is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 processor and features a versatile triple rear camera setup consisting of a 200-megapixel primary sensor, a 50-megapixel secondary camera and another 50-megapixel sensor.
Vivo X300 FE, on the other hand, includes the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and features a 50-megapixel primary camera along with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens.
The Vivo X300 also retains a compact form factor with a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display and weighs around 190g. Additionally, it supports a telephoto extender kit capable of offering up to 2.35x optical zoom with a 200mm equivalent focal length.
The only major area where the Vivo X300 FE appears to have an advantage is battery capacity. The standard X300 packs a 6,040mAh battery, while the FE variant offers a slightly larger 6,500mAh capacity battery. X300 is said to deliver only around 30 minutes less runtime in PCMark battery testing and around 2 percent higher battery drain during gaming compared to the X300 FE.
Vivo X300 Availability May Already Be Affected
Reports suggest that if Vivo does not increase the X300’s price, the company could reduce supply or eventually discontinue the device to avoid overlap with the X300 FE.
Interestingly, the Vivo X300 is already showing limited availability on Flipkart with the base variant reportedly unavailable for delivery in several locations. This could indicate backend supply constraints, component shortages or shifting production priorities.
As of now, none of these developments have been officially confirmed by Vivo. Since the Vivo X300 launched less than six months ago, a complete discontinuation appears unlikely for now. However, a future price hike for the device could still happen.
Users planning to buy the Vivo X300 may want to consider purchasing it sooner rather than later if current pricing remains unchanged.
FAQs
Q1. Why is the Vivo X300’s future uncertain?
Answer. The launch of the Vivo X300 FE at a higher price than the standard X300 has led to speculation that Vivo may hike the X300’s price or discontinue it.
Q2. How do the Vivo X300 and X300 FE differ in hardware?
Answer. The Vivo X300 uses the Dimensity 9500 chipset with a triple 200MP camera setup, while the X300 FE features Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a simpler dual-camera system.
Q3. Is the Vivo X300 currently available in India?
Answer. Reports suggest limited availability on Flipkart with some variants unavailable for delivery hinting at possible supply constraints or shifting production priorities.

This project builds on Apple’s work with Saahas Zero Waste in Goa and is now expanding to other areas, including Coimbatore.
The program aims to establish traceable systems for collecting, sorting, and recovering recyclables while ensuring environmental and social protections. Apple said it also wants to improve local waste management by working with city officials, waste workers, and communities.
Apple to Support Sustainability-Focused Startups
Apple is also helping sustainability-focused startups through a partnership with Acumen, a nonprofit impact investor. The program will give grants and support to six early-stage companies working in waste management, circular economy, regenerative agriculture, and sustainable livelihoods.
The initiative includes mentorship, technical assistance, and strategic guidance intended to help participating ventures scale their operations. Apple has previously collaborated with Acumen on clean-energy-focused entrepreneurship programs in India.
Among the ventures highlighted by the company are Saptkrishi, which makes affordable cold storage for farmers; Yotuh Energy, which works on electric refrigerated transport; and MOWO Fleet, which creates electric mobility jobs for women drivers and entrepreneurs.

Fresh leaks about the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max suggest that Apple may introduce major display upgrades next year. Reports indicate that Samsung Display and LG Display are likely to become the main suppliers for the premium OLED panels. Meanwhile, new CAD renders have once again sparked speculation about changes to the Dynamic Island design. Here’s more on recent reports.
iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max – Samsung and LG Tipped to Supply LTPO+ Displays
According to a recent report by The Elec, Apple is expected to finalise OLED panel approvals for the iPhone 18 Pro series later this month. Samsung Display and LG Display will be key players in the panel supply chain for the upcoming iPhone models.

Meanwhile, Chinese display maker BOE has reportedly been left out of the premium-tier supply chain despite previously securing some panel orders for the iPhone 17 Pro lineup.
The report claims that BOE faced quality and production yield issues related to its lower-temperature polycrystalline oxide-plus (LTPO+) display technology when compared to the South Korean manufacturers.
The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to use LTPO+ display technology, which could offer better power efficiency compared to the current LTPO panelsused in the iPhone 17 series. The technology may also help improve battery life by allowing finer control over OLED light emission and enabling the display to optimise performance based on surrounding conditions.
Under-Display Face ID Could Reduce Dynamic Island Size
Earlier reports from South Korean publication ETNews suggested that Apple may use under-screen infrared technology from Samsung for the iPhone 18 Pro models. This could allow some Face ID components to move beneath the display.
If implemented, Apple may be able to reduce the size of the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro lineup. However, reports remain divided on whether the company will actually make this design change.
New iPhone 18 Pro CAD Leak Revives Dynamic Island Speculation
A fresh set of alleged CAD renders of the iPhone 18 Pro has now surfaced online and reignited discussions around the future of the Dynamic Island.

The images were shared on X by user @earlyappleleaks and claimed that “the new CAD confirms the smaller Dynamic Island of the iPhone 18 Pro.”
CAD renders are often based on technical schematics shared with case manufacturers and accessory makers before launch. However, the authenticity of this particular leak remains uncertain as the source is relatively new.
Previously, the same account shared images of an alleged iPhone 18 Pro prototype showing a smaller Dynamic Island and what appeared to be a Face ID sensor positioned under the display. Moving Face ID components beneath the screen could allow Apple to slim down the Dynamic Island area.
Over the past year, multiple leaks have offered conflicting information regarding the iPhone 18 Pro design. Some reports claimed Apple could replace the Dynamic Island with a hole-punch camera and under-display Face ID system, while others suggested the company would simply reduce the size of the existing cutout.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, along with several well-known Weibo tipsters, recently suggested that Apple may shrink the Dynamic Island but not remove it entirely. Similar rumours also surfaced before the launch of the iPhone 17 Pro series although the Dynamic Island ultimately remained unchanged in size.
More recently, Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station claimed that the iPhone 18 Pro may not feature a smaller Dynamic Island after all with the redesign possibly delayed until the iPhone 19 lineup.
Apple’s Launch Plans
The iPhone 18 Pro series is expected to launch later this year alongside Apple’s first foldable iPhone.
Reports also suggest that Apple may adopt a split launch cycle strategy with the standard iPhone 18 models arriving early next year instead of launching together with the Pro variants.
Q1. What display upgrade is expected for the iPhone 18 Pro series?
Answer. Apple is tipped to use LTPO+ OLED panels from Samsung and LG, offering improved power efficiency and potentially better battery life.
Q2. Will the iPhone 18 Pro have a smaller Dynamic Island?
Answer. Leaks suggest Apple may shrink the Dynamic Island using under-display Face ID tech, but reports remain divided and the redesign could be delayed.
Q3. When will the iPhone 18 Pro series launch?
Answer. The iPhone 18 Pro lineup is expected later this year alongside Apple’s first foldable iPhone, with standard iPhone 18 models possibly arriving earlier in a split launch cycle.
