Vivo's X300 and X300 Pro EU Release Details Leaked Prematurely
Vivo has inadvertently revealed key EU release details for its upcoming X300 and X300 Pro smartphones just hours before their official launch. Despite being more expensive than their Oppo Find X9 and Find X9 Pro counterparts, Vivo plans to offer launch discounts. The X300 and X300 Pro are set to be unveiled globally following their Chinese debut earlier this month. Interestingly, Vivo's Eurozone pricing information was prematurely confirmed, including battery specifications that surpass those of Samsung's Galaxy S25 series.
The Vivo X300 and X300 Pro boast battery capacities that exceed those of Samsung's Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. This comes as a surprise, given that Samsung's flagships are currently priced at around $949 on Amazon. Vivo's pricing strategy seems to mirror Samsung's, making its new flagships comparably expensive in the Eurozone. This contrasts with Oppo's pricing for the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro, which are priced at €999 and €1,299, respectively.
Vivo's X300 series will start at €1,049 in the Eurozone, but accessories like the Telephoto Extender Kit will add to the cost. Vivo's decision to apply a €50 surcharge on its comparable smartphones, despite launching later than Oppo, has sparked curiosity. However, Vivo will offer various discount codes at launch, potentially reducing prices across the board. This strategy may be a calculated move to balance the higher price point with attractive discounts.
