Does anyone have this case for the vivo x300 Photography Kit?

I'm wondering if it can also fit the lanyard strap?

I've been looking for a compact case like this for a while now, to have the telephoto extender and grip properly secured.

Can I turn the vibration to be stronger for calls?

I love the haptics on my vivo X300 but I constantly miss calls, even in my pocket, as the vibration is so soft/smooth.

This has never happened to me in the past decade with a dozen phones. My previous phone had terrible haptics in hand but at least I could hear it vibrate from the other room lol. I can't even hear my X300 when is next to me on the table.

Can I do something about it, so for calls to make the vibration somehow stronger?

Just Landed, Need Help

Bought a x300, red 16-512gb for an effective price thru croma midnight deal still in sealed. Prior to purchasing all were of good reviews after purchasing i have started hearing a lot of thermal, heating and battery drain issues on normal usage after the latest update and me being in India it's not comfortable to hold this phone that would give warmth to my fingers and also in pockets.

I would like to hear some genuine reviews especially from South India on their long term review and how the phone looks up good in terms of thermal and battery. I bought this just considering the all-rounder compact flagship. After all having the return window still open.

Vivo X300 Ultra Global hard bricked after 5 days of normal use — anyone else?

I'm genuinely speechless right now. I bought a Vivo X300 Ultra Global from Wonda Mobile less than a week ago. After 5 days of normal use I was literally just working at my desk, looked over to check the time, and the screen was black. Dead. Gone.

Tried everything:

Force restart (Power + Vol Down 10+ seconds) — nothing

Force restart (Power 60 seconds) — nothing

Recovery mode (Power + Vol Up) — nothing

Just... nothing. The phone is a brick.

Battery was fully charged. No physical damage whatsoever. It just decided to die on its own on day 5.

I've already contacted Wonda Mobile for a warranty return, but I'm frustrated that a €1500+ flagship just dies spontaneously in less than a week of light use sitting on a desk.

Has anyone experienced this with the X300 Ultra Global? Is this a known issue with this batch? Any idea what could cause a hard brick with zero user intervention?

Really hoping this is just a one-off, because aside from this the phone seemed absolutely incredible the few days I had it. But right now I'm not feeling great about it.

Why aren't reputable case manufacturers making cases for vivo phones?

Besides NILLKIN, there really aren't any quality cases for vivo phones.

Most cases are Aliexpress/Temu. I found two nice cases so far on Ali for my X300 https://www.reddit.com/r/vivoX300/comments/1sgpzpg/my_new_favorite_case_for_vivo_x300/

But would like to see some better quality cool cases too, like from r/Spigen, OtterBox, Ringke, Casetify, Mous etc...

I wish r/aulumu would create a nice case for the X300 series. Their design would look great on the X300 series.

X300, Slight battery drain issue

It's started a few weeks back, when the summer started. Maybe due to heated environment, being in chennai and all, but my charge is dropping, and it feels noticable.

Not sure how many of you guys experienced this.

Also, nowadays, Phone's been heating up alot, like a lot.

I occasionally play a brawl stars, then mostly netflix, disney, YouTube and Reddit.

Not sure why this much drain and heat.

Do suggest something or if anyone else has same issue.

Should I update

So basically I'm on the PD2509F_EX_A_16.0.18.2.W30 (January 1 security patch) update. Should I update to the latest one? I haven't done any update after buying the phone. The latest is the april sc patch, the 1.67gb one. So should I update or stay on the current one

Need some clarity about X300 Ultra

I use vivo X100 Pro and I like it very much. I purchased X300 Ultra yesterday and I'm not liking it very much. The display of X100 Ultra has warmer colors if compared with X100 Pro. Also the camera of X300 Ultra doesn't seem as good as X100 Pro.

Can you guys confirm if your device display also on a warmer color tone side (slightly yellowish)?

A few days with the Vivo X300 Ultra from a beauty/commercial photographer perspective

I had the chance to test the Vivo X300 Ultra for a few days because I worked as the still photographer for the X300 FE campaign in Spain a few weeks ago.

A bit of context first: I mainly work in advertising and beauty portrait photography, so it goes without saying that this phone cannot (and won’t) replace my main camera setup (Sony a7RV + lenses). But, for general content creation, or for someone running a small business who needs good product photos for ecommerce or even more elaborate still life setups, this thing is more than capable.

That said, good lighting still matters. A lot. The phone captures the image, but we still "build" the photo ourselves.

In my specific case, I honestly think it could replace that “always with me” second camera I used to carry around for good quality without taking much space in my pocket. For the last year and a half, that was the Ricoh GR IIIx. It's not the same and won't be but, for me, it could possibly work.

Another important thing: the first thing I did when I received the phone was disable all the AI enhancement features and similar processing when taking photos. For me, this is essential. If you leave all that stuff enabled and start zooming in, you’ll notice weird artifacts and that watercolor-like pixel effect that I personally really dislike. In the case of people, sometimes it can even invent faces in the background.

About the cameras themselves: the main optics are very well thought out and the image quality is honestly impressive. You can shoot up to 200MP with two of the lenses (35mm and 85mm), and 50MP with the ultra wide. Why megapixels matter differently in smartphones than in dedicated cameras is another discussion entirely, so I’ll leave that one for you to research yourselves.

I haven’t had time yet to properly test it in an actual beauty portrait session (which is what I mostly do), although I wanted to out of pure curiosity. But I did make some quick tests in my studio the day the phone arrived, using simple setups but real lighting situations: a beer shot, a small still life setup with acrylic sheets, shadows and gradients, and some macro shots of bubbles and textures just for fun.

I’m posting those photos here straight out of camera in JPG format, with zero retouching, plus a 100% crop from one of the 200MP shots taken with the 85mm lens.

The macro mode is incredible. Probably one of the things I liked the most. You can get extremely close, and combined with the optics and zoom capabilities, the results get pretty crazy. I didn’t have the external telephoto lens attachment some people are using online, so everything here was shot with just the phone itself. Detail is very sharp and stabilization works surprisingly well for this kind of shooting.

The second thing that surprised me was both the color and the dynamic range. Much better than I expected. I used the Zeiss Natural profile for all the photos. One thing I would love, though, is the ability to embed or convert different output color profiles afterwards, since the files come out in P3.

The perspective correction in landscape mode is also really good, although I’d love to have the option to adjust perspective afterwards using the phone’s own editing tools.

And finally: the RAW (.DNG) files are actually very solid. At the end of the day, if we want results closer to dedicated cameras, we still need the same workflow — bringing the files into Capture One or Lightroom for editing. I used Capture One for my tests but, again, these images are JPGs straight out of the phone.

The RAW files recover highlights and shadows in a nice way, and the amount of detail you get from a phone is honestly impressive.

I’m leaving some of the photos I shot these days, plus a few from the Vivo launch event photowalk.

If you have any questions, I’m happy to anwser. I’ll still have the phone for a few more days and I’ll try to do that portrait / beauty test if I find the time.

Edit: Link to the 200mpx beer photo that is not showing up: https://mita.fromsmash.com/vivox300ultracerveza

Edit2: Here are some RAW files from different situations and lenses. The link will expire in 30 days.

https://mita.fromsmash.com/Vivox300Ultra-samples

One important thing: the 50MP RAW files only work when the ISO is set to 500 or below and in PRO mode. It took me a while to figure out why they weren’t showing up consistently.

You’ll also find:

  • some SRAW files
  • some standard RAW files
  • a few JPGs so you can compare and see the kind of processing the phone applies
  • and since I was already exporting things, a couple of LOG video clips in 1080p

There’s no artistic intention behind these examples, but I think they can help you get a better idea of what the camera is capable of.

Just keep in mind that this is still a phone, so it’s important not to forget the starting point when looking at the results.

Edit 3: I added more examples with sun light here: https://mita.fromsmash.com/x300ultra-moreexamples to In these examples you can notice the “watercolor-like” pixel thing. If you go beyond 100% you can see it, but to be honest I don't see the point of going further than that, and the processing is still usable and impressive.

Edit4: More SRAW as u/Delicious_One_2825 asked for them: https://mita.fromsmash.com/SRAW-x300u

Is it normal for my battery to drop 4% overnight, while the phone has been completely turned off?

So I turned off my regular vivo X300 last night at 25%.

And I turned it back on this morning, after around 10 hours, and the battery is at 21%.

Is this normal? And what consumes the battery while being completely off?

My older phones stayed basically at the same percentage when turned completely off.
