Vivo X300 FE Review Praises 6,500mAh Battery but Flags €999 Price Above X300

Android Central says the new X300 FE is a strong compact flagship with good cameras, reliable Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 performance and a comfortable 6.31-inch design, but its launch pricing makes it hard to recommend.
At €999 in Austria and ₹79,999 in India, the FE debuts above the regular X300, which is already discounted to €849 in Austria and sells for ₹75,999 in India after roughly six months on the market.
The FE’s clearest advantage is its 6,500mAh battery—larger than the X300’s 5,360mAh Austrian unit—which the review says delivers about a day and a half of heavy use and charges in under 50 minutes at 90W.
Camera trade-offs weaken the value case: the FE uses a 50MP main sensor, 50MP 3x telephoto and 8MP ultrawide, missing the X300’s stronger camera setup and drawing criticism for its average wide-angle lens.
The review concludes the X300 FE could become the better buy if Vivo cuts the price, especially for buyers prioritizing battery life and one-handed use over the regular X300’s superior cameras.
