Vivo’s X300 FE went on sale nationwide in Pakistan on July 26 for Rs. 269,999, and the phone is now also live on Vivo’s official online stores in Spain, Austria, and Hungary. The launch marks the widest rollout yet for the compact flagship.

Vivo is positioning the X300 FE as its “Light Imaging Flagship.” The pitch is simple: pack flagship camera hardware into a smaller body, and skip the bulk that comes with most high-end phones.

What’s Inside the Phone

The X300 FE runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset with a 6,500mAh battery, a big cell for a phone this size. The 6.31-inch AMOLED display runs at 120Hz and a sharp 2640 x 1216 resolution.

The camera setup is the real selling point. Vivo co-engineered a 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto lens with optical stabilization, paired with a 50MP main sensor and an 8MP ultra-wide shooter. Some markets get a special edition with a ZEISS Tele Extender Lens attachment.

Software runs on OriginOS 6, built on Android 16. The phone comes in three finishes: Urban Olive, Lilac Purple, and Noir Black.

A Wider Global Push

Vivo already launched the X300 FE in India earlier this year, priced from ₹79,999. The Pakistan and European rollout signals the company wants this model to compete broadly, not just in its home markets.

In Europe, the phone is priced around €1,000. That puts it against established compact flagships from Apple and Samsung, a tougher fight than Vivo faces in South Asia.

Vivo is betting that a smaller phone with a bigger camera story can win buyers who are tired of choosing between compact size and flagship power.
