The vivo Y300 Pro has just been announced in China, joining the company's mid-range portfolio. It's a direct successor to the Y200 Pro from earlier this year, but the upgrades are pretty significant, despite the short time it's been around.
The new Y300 Pro is powered by a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, paired with 8GB/128GB of memory by default and configurations go up to 12GB/512GB. The display has also been improved: it now measures 6.77 inches diagonally and offers a 120Hz refresh rate, 10-bit color depth, and up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness. This refers to a small spot on the screen, probably during HDR content playback.
The main camera has been replaced with a more capable 50MP f/1.8, 1/1.95″ unit, but the 2MP depth sensor remains the same. The selfie sensor has also been upgraded from 16MP to 32MP with an f/2.0 aperture.
Impressively, the battery capacity has been increased from 5,000mAh to 6,500mAh with support for 80W wired charging. Perhaps that's why the Y300 Pro weighs about 20 grams more than the Y200 Pro.
Oh, and the ingress protection is now IP65, better than the IP54 on the Y200 Pro.
The available colors are Black, Ocean Blue, Titanium, and White. The entry price is CNY 1,799 ($250) for the standard 8GB/128GB version and goes up to CNY 2,499 ($350) for the beefed-up 12GB/512GB configuration. The phone is still in the pre-order phase and we don't know if it will make it to the international market, but the Y200 Pro is available for purchase in India, so we might see the Y300 Pro outside of China as well.
