Vivo X300 Series Launch Date (Rumoured)
According to the well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, the Vivo X300 series is expected to launch on October 13 in China.
Both the Vivo X300 and X300 Pro are set to debut as the world’s first smartphones powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset.
Vivo X300 Pro Performance Upgrades
Ahead of launch, Vivo’s Product Manager Han Boxiao (translated from Chinese via Google Translate) has revealed several performance-related upgrades for the X300 Pro on Weibo. He confirmed that the flagship will feature a custom-built Super Sense vibration motor (model 751440), designed with specialised alloy materials, improved electromagnetic solutions, and a lighter, more compact form factor compared to the existing 0816 motor.
Boxiao added that the new motor will deliver 2.2 times the bandwidth of the Vivo X200 Pro’s 9595 motor, making it the “most powerful” vibration motor in Vivo’s X-series lineup so far.

Another highlight is the proprietary Universal Signal Amplifier chipset, which integrates one communication booster chip with four Wi-Fi booster chips for stronger connectivity. The device will also feature dual-channel UFS 4.1 four-lane storage, boosting read and write speeds by over 70%, reaching up to 8.6Gbps.
These enhancements will reportedly remain exclusive to the X300 Pro, distinguishing it from the standard model.
Vivo X300 Pro – AnTuTu Benchmark Results
In another Weibo post, Boxiao shared the AnTuTu benchmark scores of the Vivo X300 Pro. The device recorded an overall score of 40,11,932 points, broken down as follows –

Boxiao also confirmed that the Vivo X300 will succeed last year’s X200 Pro Mini. It will feature a 6.31-inch 8T LTPO BOE display with 1 nit minimum brightness, an APO periscope telephoto sensor, and a telephoto macro shooter. The device will also come with an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and a high-spec USB Type-C port.
