Vivo is gearing up to launch the Vivo X300 Max and Vivo X300 Ultra flagship smartphones in China. These devices are expected to debut in March this year, with a global launch likely around the second quarter.

At the same time, the rumor mill has already shifted focus to Vivo’s next-generation flagship lineup, namely the Vivo X500 and Vivo X500 Pro. Reports suggest the brand may skip the X400 naming altogether, with the X500 series expected to arrive around September or October this year. Interestingly, leaks have also started surfacing about an Ultra variant in the X500 lineup.

Vivo X500 Ultra launch accelerated

According to tipster Smart Pikachu, the Vivo X500 Ultra could launch earlier than initially expected. However, the tipster has not shared any details regarding the device’s specifications, design, or camera hardware so far.

Recent reports have revealed that Qualcomm will announce its next-generation Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 chipset, along with a Gen 6 Pro variant, later this year. If that happens, it is likely that Ultra-branded flagships from major Chinese smartphone brands, including the Vivo X500 Ultra, could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro platform, positioning them as true next-generation performance flagships.

Xiaomi surprised the tech world by launching the Xiaomi 17 Ultra in December 2025. So, there is a possibility that the Xiaomi 18 Ultra may launch by the end of this year. It won’t be surprising if Vivo decides to unveil the X500 Ultra by the end of this year or by January 2027.

At the same time, Smart Pikachu has also shared fresh insights about the Vivo X300 Ultra. The device is said to be one of the heaviest Ultra flagships yet, indicating a hardware-heavy build. It is tipped to debut in March with dual 200-megapixel cameras, a new-generation Zeiss lens coating, and a redesigned zoom lens system. The leak further suggests strong night photography performance, reinforcing its positioning as a top-tier imaging-focused smartphone.

The Vivo X300 Ultra’s March launch event will also see the arrival of the Vivo X300 Max and the company’s first action camera, the details of which are scarce. The X300 Max is said to have a 6.78-inch OLED 1.5K display, a Dimensity 9500 chip, a 7,000mAh battery, and a 200-megapixel triple camera unit.

After the upcoming Chinese Spring Festival, Vivo and Oppo are expected to announce new flagship phones. In the latest leak, tipster Digital Chat Station has revealed the model numbers of the upcoming Vivo flagships, which have reportedly received China’s SRRC (State Radio Regulation Commission) network access certification, confirming radio transmission approvals and support for the N79 frequency band.

Vivo X300 series’ model numbers emerge

According to DCS, the model numbers Vivo V2547A, V2547DA, and V2548A belong to the upcoming X300 series. It appears that the V2547A is associated with the Vivo X300 Ultra, while the V2547DA is its Beidou satellite communication version. The leak suggests that the V2548A belongs to the Vivo X300 Max. This is the first time this moniker has surfaced, and it appears to be the same device that was being referred to as the Vivo X300s in recent reports.

Vivo X300 Max: What to expect?

A recent leak by the same source revealed that the Vivo X300 Max will have a 6.78-inch OLED 1.5K flat display surrounded by ultra-thin bezels. For security, it will feature an ultrasonic in-display fingerprint sensor.

On the back, it will have a circular camera module housing a 200-megapixel main camera, an ultra-wide lens, and a mid-tier periscope telephoto camera. Under the hood, it may feature the existing Dimensity 9500, as the rumoured Plus variant of the chip has reportedly been cancelled. This device is also rumoured to pack a huge 7,000mAh battery.

Apart from leaking details about the upcoming X300 series, the tipster also claimed that the PME110 model number belongs to the Find X9s Pro (previously known as Find X9s). The Find X9 Ultra’s model number is not known yet.

All the above devices are expected to break cover in March in China. Except for the X300 Max, all of them are also rumoured to hit the global market around the second quarter of the year.
