The vivo Y300 Pro was just announced in China, adding to the company’s mid-range portfolio. It is a direct successor to the Y200 Pro from earlier this year, but the improvements are quite dramatic, despite the short time that has elapsed.
The new Y300 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, paired with 8GB/128GB of storage as standard, with configurations going up to 12GB/512GB. The display has also been improved, now measuring 6.77” and offering a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, and up to 5,000 nits peak brightness. That does refer to a small on-screen patch, presumably while playing HDR content.
The main camera has been replaced with a nicer 50 MP f/1.8, 1/1.95″ unit, but the 2 MP depth sensor remains. The selfie camera has also been upgraded from 16 MP to 32 MP with an f/2.0 aperture.
Impressively, the battery capacity has been increased from 5,000mAh to a whopping 6,500mAh with support for 80W wired charging. Perhaps that’s why the Y300 Pro weighs around 20g more than the Y200 Pro.
Oh, and the protection rating is now IP65, up from the IP54 of the Y200 Pro.
Available colors are black, ocean blue, titanium, and white. It starts at CNY 1,799 ($250) for the base 8GB/128GB version, going up to CNY 2,499 ($350) for the souped-up 12GB/512GB configuration. The phone is still in pre-order and we don’t know if it will launch internationally, but the Y200 Pro is available to buy in USA, so we might see the Y300 Pro outside of China’s borders as well.
