Vivo Y300 – All about this phone
The Vivo Y300’s design represents a notable departure from Vivo’s previous offerings, featuring a distinctive dual camera setup housed within a rectangular island. A unique ring light positioned beneath the camera lens adds a distinctive touch to the otherwise minimalist back panel. The device will debut in three colorways – Dark Purple, Sea Green, and Grey – complemented by a premium boxy design with a metallic frame.
One of the standout features is the incorporation of Aura lights, specifically engineered to enhance low-light photography capabilities. This addition signals Vivo’s commitment to advancing mobile photography in the mid-range segment.
Specifications of Vivo Y300
While Vivo has maintained some secrecy around the complete specification sheet, industry insiders and recent leaks paint an impressive picture. The Y300 is expected to feature a 6.67-inch AMOLED display, delivering Full HD+ resolution (1080 x 2400 pixels) with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The camera system is rumored to combine a 50-megapixel main sensor, reportedly utilizing the advanced Sony IMX882 sensor, with an 8-megapixel secondary lens. For selfie enthusiasts, a 32-megapixel front-facing camera is anticipated.
Under the hood, the device is expected to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, paired with up to 8GB of RAM. Battery life appears to be a priority, with a substantial 5,000mAh battery supported by 80W fast charging capability.
About its connectivity
The Y300’s feature set extends to include comprehensive connectivity options: Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, and USB-C connectivity. Running on FunTouch OS 14, based on Android 14, the device includes premium features like stereo speakers and an IP64 rating for dust and water resistance.
Security is addressed through an under-display optical fingerprint sensor.
Cost of Vivo Y300
Market analysts expect the Y300 to be positioned in the sub-Rs 25,000 segment, representing a slight price increase from the Y200’s sub-Rs 20,000 positioning. This pricing strategy suggests Vivo’s confidence in the Y300’s enhanced feature set and market positioning.
