Vivo's upcoming X300 FE flagship surfaces on Geekbench with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset and Android 16, while global certifications hint at imminent release.
Vivo's next premium smartphone, the X300 FE (model V2537), has appeared on Geekbench benchmark listings, confirming key specifications ahead of its anticipated global launch. The device builds on its predecessor's formula with flagship-tier hardware positioned to compete with established players like OnePlus and Motorola.
Performance Insights
The Geekbench listing reveals the X300 FE runs Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset paired with 12GB RAM – identical to configurations found in premium devices like the OnePlus 15R ($799). Benchmark scores show competitive results: 2,701 in single-core and 8,180 in multi-core tests. This positions it firmly in the high-performance Android segment. The device will ship with Android 16, making it among the first non-Pixel devices confirmed for Google's next OS iteration.
Global Expansion Signals
Regulatory certifications across three continents suggest broad availability:
- India's BIS certification
- Europe's EEC approval
- Singapore's IMDA clearance
This multi-region certification pattern typically precedes worldwide releases. Following Vivo's strategy with the X200 Pro Mini (a rebranded Vivo S30 Pro Mini), industry observers expect the X300 FE to share specifications with China's Vivo S50 Pro Mini launched earlier this year.
Expected Specifications
Based on the Chinese variant, the X300 FE will likely feature:
- Display: 6.31" LTPO AMOLED (1216 x 2640)
- Camera System: Triple rear array with 50MP main sensor, 50MP periscope telephoto (5x optical zoom), and 8MP ultrawide
- Battery: 6,500mAh capacity with 90W wired charging
- Durability: IP69 water/dust resistance
- Security: Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner
The Chinese model's pricing starts at CNY 3,699 (~$535), suggesting aggressive positioning against competitors like the Pixel 8 Pro ($999) and Galaxy S24 FE ($699).
Target Audience
This device caters specifically to:
- Performance seekers needing Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 capabilities for gaming and productivity
- Mobile photographers leveraging the dual 50MP camera system
- Travelers and outdoor users benefiting from IP69 protection
- Battery-conscious buyers attracted to the 6,500mAh/90W combination
Vivo hasn't announced official launch dates, but the accumulation of certifications indicates an imminent release. The X300 FE appears positioned as a value-focused flagship alternative, potentially undercutting competitors by $200-400 while matching core specifications. Camera performance and software optimization will be key differentiators when review units become available.
