vivo has officially launched the vivo X300 series globally. The series is comprised of the vivo X300 and the vivo X300 Pro, and celebrates vivo’s 30th year anniversary.

The latest flagship devices offer a powerfully advanced and effortlessly comfortable premium experience for users.

Both models feature 200MP ZEISS Ultra-Clear Imaging systems, marking a transformative leap in smartphone photography.

In addition, the X300 series also provides comprehensive upgrades across its OS, performance, and design.

ZEISS Ultra-Clear Imaging

The vivo X300 Pro, in particular, debuts a 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera. This shooter features an upgraded Ultra-Sensing Sensor HPB.

Meanwhile, the 50MP ZEISS Gimbal-Grade Main Camera boasts of a large 1/1.28″ sensor and industry-leading CIPA 5.5-rated stabilization.

These enable the main camera to deliver more stable, faster, and clearer shots while greatly improving the overall imaging performance.

Accompanying the X300 Pro’s camera system is the new Pro Imaging Chip VS1 which significantly enhances the speed of image output, clarity, and noise reduction.

Meanwhile, on the vivo X300 is a similar 200MP ZEIS Main Camera with Ultra-Sensing Sensor HPB and CIP 4.5-rated stabilization.

This is paired with a ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera with a LYT-602 sensor for higher dynamic range and lower power consumption.

Both models also have a 50MP ZEISS Wide-Angle Front Camera. In addition, they are both compatible with the vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit.

This kit offers sharper clarity, richer detail, and a soft, natural bokeh effect — making it effortless to capture scenes at concerts, sports, hikes, and more.

Enhanced photography, videography capabilities

Moreover, the vivo X300 series pushes the boundaries of creativity with all-scenario imaging innovation.

Stage Mode 2.0 captures every angle of precious moments. The 4K Stage All-in-One Recording enables shooting HD photos while recording video as well.

Dual-View Stage Video also allows the simultaneous use of any two cameras to capture more in one frame.

For quick captures, the X300 series also delivers ultra-clear portraits with sharpness even when zoomed in. Features include ZEISS Natural Portrait, Multi-Focal HD Portrait, and Night Portrait.

And on the X300 Pro, users can zoom up to 20x for Long-Range Motion Snapshot and Telephoto Flower & Bird Shots. The latter supports ZEISS Mirotar Telephoto Style Bokeh that is purposely built for telephoto scenarios.

For filming, both models support 4K at 120fps Pro Video. The Pro model even supports 4K at 120fps Dolby Vision Video and 4K at 120fps 10-bit Log Video for film-quality dynamic range and flexibility.

More features include AI Image Studio, AI One-Shot Multi-Crop, AI Landscape Master, and Live Photo Passerby Erase.

The vivo X300 series also marks the global debut of OriginOS. This operating system is supported by ultra-core computing, memory fusion, and dual-rendering engines.

These all help deliver a fresh smartphone experience that combines lasting fluency, natural design, and personalized experience.

vivo’s self-developed Origin Smooth Engine also optimizes the entire process from computing to storage to display.

The Origin Design System likewise blends multiple elements organically to create a visually elegant and rich, user-friendly, and intuitive space.

OriginOS also features Origin Island with intelligent suggestions and real-time reminders, as well as the vivo Office Kit for cross-device productivity.

On the AI side, OriginOS features AI tools like AI Creation and Google Gemini integration.

Leading performance, efficiency, and endurance

The vivo X300 series handsets are powered by the Dimensity 9500 chipset jointly defined by vivo and MediaTek.

Built on the 3nm process, the platform delivers exceptional power and remarkable energy efficiency. It features a fully-upgraded 12-core G1-Ultra GPU and ultra-efficient NPU.

In front are 8T LTPO displays (6.31-inch for the X300 and 6.78-inch for the X300 Pro) with up to 2000 nits global peak brightness.

These panels also boast of 2160 Hz Full-Range Luminance PWM Dimming and Full-Range Luminance DC Dimming.

Samsung has announced that Galaxy AI has expanded by adding two new languages: Filipino and Gujarati.

Filipino is used daily by an estimated 87 million people and is the national language of the Philippines.

Gujarati, meanwhile, is spoken primarily by citizens of the Indian state of Gujarat. An estimated 62.5 million speak the language.

Both new languages were developed in close collaboration with Samsung Research Centers in Indonesia and India, respectively.

With the new update, Galaxy AI will now support a total of 22 languages. The database now accounts for languages spoken by nearly 74% of the global population, or roughly 5.9 billion people.

This strengthens Samsung’s ongoing commitment to lowering language barriers and bringing meaningful mobile AI experiences to more people.

Samsung users in even more regions can now access Galaxy AI’s suite of intelligent features designed to make communication and productivity easier and more intuitive.

This includes Live Translate for real-time, two-way voice and text translations for calls. There’s also Interpreter, which translates in-person conversations instantly through a split-screen view.

Other AI-powered features include Chat Assist, Note Assist, Transcript Assist, and Browsing Assist.

Such features were created with deep linguistic understanding and regional insight to ensure Galaxy AI adapts naturally to the ways people communicate.

Galaxy AI expanding at unprecedented pace

Samsung added that Galaxy AI has quickly become part of daily routines for millions of users around the world.

At the Galaxy AI Forum, Samsung shared that more than 70% of Galaxy S25 users regularly engage with Galaxy AI and Google Gemini features.

In the Philippines, there have also been a double-digit increase in Galaxy AI appeal, based on a consumer study conducted from August to September 2025.

In particular, the study found out that 40% of Filipinos find Live Translate and Call Assist “appealing”.

Since its debut with the Galaxy S24 series, Galaxy AI has been expanding at an unprecedented pace. Samsung is on track to bring the suite to over 400 million devices by the end of 2025.

The suite is not limited to Samsung’s flagships like the S series and Z foldables; users on A series devices and some of the company’s tablets also feature Galaxy AI.

As they’ve announced recently, Nothing has now expanded its lineup to include the more budget-friendly Phone (3a) Lite.

Formerly thriving on only flagship and midrange models, Nothing has recently pushed to include entry-level smartphones into its lineup. The Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is the brand’s first ever foray into the segment.

Not bad for an entry-level phone

Though the phone has a price tag that starts at only EUR 249 (or approximately US$ 289), the Phone (3a) Lite still rocks the brand’s iconic design, which the brand calls “a beautiful balance of matte and gloss.” It will have a Glyph Light which, unlike the longer strip of the past, is just a single blinking LED for notifications. The transparent back is encased in Panda Glass, broken only by the protruding triple rear camera combination.

Speaking of which, the phone comes with a 50-megapixel main shooter with a 1/1.57-inch Samsung sensor. It’s paired with an 8-megapixel ultra-wide lens and a macro lens. This trio is still capable of shooting 4K resolutions at 30 frames per second. Additionally, it comes with a 16-megapixel front camera.

In front, the phone has a 6.77-inch AMOLED display — putting out 1080p resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and 3,000 nits of peak brightness. The side has this generation’s Essential Key (which we didn’t really care for in the flagship model).

Under the hood, the Phone (3a) Lite sports the Dimensity 7300 Pro 5G chipset. This is paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. Finally, it has a 5000mAh battery, capable of 33W fast charging.

The bloatware begins

As we noted previously, Nothing has changed its perspectives on offering no bloatware inside its phones. Starting with Nothing OS 4.0 (which this phone will eventually come with), the brand’s non-flagship phones will eventually come with Lock Glimpse, a lock screen that’s essentially a rolling carousel of wallpapers with links to content. It’s similar to the lock screens you might see in Chinese smartphones these days.

Additionally, the upcoming update will start shipping smartphones off with preinstalled apps, starting with Instagram. It’s a big step away from Nothing’s prior commitment to offering a pure Android experience.

Price and availability

Available in black and white, the Nothing Phone (3a) Lite is out now in Europe. The base 128GB model sells for EUR 249. Meanwhile, the larger 256GB variant ships for EUR 279. There’s no word yet on availability elsewhere.
