The Vivo X300 Pro recently made its debut as the brand’s latest flagship smartphone in China. Now, this model is getting a wider release, with the premium camera phone arriving in Europe along with its exclusive photography kit. So here’s everything you need to know.
Vivo X300 Pro Hits the Global Market
Similar to the base Vivo X300, the company unveiled the Vivo X300 Pro in Europe with one major change, which is the battery capacity.

But apart from this, you still get a tall 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 1.5K resolution, 1.1mm uniform bezels, and a 120Hz refresh rate.

Under the hood, the Dimensity 9500 powers this model, promising smooth performance in gaming, AI tasks, and everyday workloads. The main highlight is still the cameras, which include a 50MP Sony LYT-828 sensor (1/1.28″, f/1.57), paired with a 50MP Samsung JN1 ultra wide (1/2.76″) and a 200MP Samsung HPB telephoto (1/1.4″) for detailed zoom shots. For selfies and video calls, the front houses a 50MP JN1 sensor (with autofocus). Vivo is continuing its collaboration with Zeiss for the camera system on its latest flagships.
Other notable features include Android 16 OS based OriginOS 6 custom skin out of the box, stereo speakers, an IP68 + IP69 rating for water and dust resistance. This time around, Vivo is even introducing its photography kit outside of the Chinese market. This is basically a telephoto lens extender, offering Zeiss 2.35x zoom. This model is also available in only a single 16GB + 512GB storage option, which costs 1,399 Euros.

The Chinese variant of the Vivo X300 packed a large 6,040mAh battery pack, but the global version is getting a noticeably smaller 5,360mAh battery in EU.
Vivo X300 5G Halo Pink
Although, you still get support for 90W wired fast charging and 40W wireless fast charging. The rest of the specs remain identical as well, so you still get Zeiss triple camera lenses on the rear with three 50MP cameras, and a 50Mp selfie shooter on the front. This model also runs on the Android 16 OS based OriginOS 6 custom skin out of the box. Other notable features include Bluetooth 5.4, IP68/69 rating for water and dust resistance, and dual stereo speakers.
The Vivo X300 was just announced in the European market in a single 12GB + 256GB storage configuration, which costs 1,049 Euros. To recall, the same variant in China costs 4,399 Yuan, which is nearly half the EU pricing. It is also listed in two color options, namely Phantom Black and Halo Pink.

The competitive world of flagship smartphones is heating up again, with Chinese brands bringing a new wave of premium devices. Two of the latest models to hit the market are the Oppo Find X9 Pro and OnePlus 15. While the former is a high end smartphone with cutting edge cameras, the latter focuses on performance. So both serve a different purpose despite being the latest gen flagships. So here’s a quick comparison from display and design to hardware performance and camera systems to help you decide which model fits your priorities.
Display & Design
These are both top of the line smartphones from Oppo and OnePlus, so you get a premium build quality that uses metal and glass, along with high end IP rating for water and dust resistance, and uniform bezels. So picking between the designs is based on personal preference. However, the display on the front immediately showcases the different focus of the two smartphones.
Oppo Find X9 Pro
The Find X9 Pro sports a 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED display with a 2780×1264 resolution, 3840Hz PWM dimming, Dolby Vision, a 120Hz refresh rate, and up to 3600 nits of peak brightness. Meanwhile, the OnePlus 15 has a similar 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1.5K resolution as well. However, it bumps up the max refresh rate to 165Hz, which appeals to mobile gaming enthusiasts.
Hardware & Performance
Under the hood, these phones take different paths once again. The Find X9 Pro is equipped with MediaTek’s latest and greatest Dimensity 9500. On the other hand, the OnePlus 15 gets Qualcomm’s flagship Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 SoC. Both models offer up to 16GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage. You can expect high end performance on both models, from everyday use to intense tasks like gaming.
OnePlus 15
However, the OnePlus 15 was clearly built to double as a great gaming phone as well. A gigantic 7,500mAh battery pack powers the Find X9 Pro, which supports 80W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging. While OnePlus’ latest flagship has a slightly smaller 7,300mAh cell, it makes up for this with a faster 120W wired fast charging and 50W wireless fast charging support.
Camera
Photography is another area where each device offers distinct priorities. Oppo’s Find X9 Pro places a big focus on offering a flagship grade camera experience. It features Sony’s new 50MP LYT828 primary sensor (1/1.28″, OIS, f/1.5), 200MP Samsung HP5 periscope telephoto shooter (1/4″, OIS, f/2.1), and 50MP ultra wide angle lens on the rear. For selfies and video calls, there is a 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN5 camera on the front. Just like before, the cameras are also tuned by Hasselblad.
Last year, the OnePlus 13 was a bit similar to the Find X8 Pro. But now, the OnePlus 15 has made some downgrades to its camera system. The 1.4-inch main camera is now a smaller 50MP Sony 1/1.56-inch primary sensor (OIS, f/1.8), which is coupled with a 50MP ultra wide angle lens, and a 50MP periscope telephoto shooter with a 3.5x optical zoom. Gone is the Hasselblad tuning, being replaced by Oppo’s LUMO Condensed Light Imaging. While it would be wrong to call the camera worse outright, photography is clearly not a major focus anymore.
Pricing and Final Thoughts
Taking all of this into account, it isn’t surprising that Oppo’s Find X9 Pro has a higher starting price tag of 5,299 Yuan, which is roughly around 746 US Dollars, for the 12GB + 256GB configuration. In comparison, the OnePlus 15 is a lot more affordable with a 3,999 yuan starting price (roughly 561 US Dollars) for the same storage option.
So in choosing between the OPPO Find X9 Pro and the OnePlus 15, your decision comes down to what you value most. If you’re after absolute photography capability and long battery life, the Find X9 Pro emerges as a strong pick. On the flip side, if you prioritise raw performance, relatively affordable pricing, ultra-fluid display and a chipset built for gaming or heavy tasks, the OnePlus 15 may be the smarter choice.
