Vivo Y300 5G

The Vivo Y300 5G has a standard candy-bar form factor — it neither folds nor carries a rugged build. It measures 163.2 mm tall, 75.9 mm wide, and 7.8 mm thick, with a total volume of 96.62 cm³ and a weight of 190 g. On the protection front, the device holds an IP64 rating, meaning it is rated against dust ingress and can withstand water splashing from any direction, giving it a general water-resistant classification without full submersion capability.

The Vivo Y300 5G uses an OLED/AMOLED touchscreen measuring 6.67″ with a 1080 x 2400 px resolution and a pixel density of 395 ppi. The panel runs at a 120Hz refresh rate and reaches a typical brightness of 1200 nits. However, it does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen. The display also lacks branded damage-resistant glass coverage.

The Vivo Y300 5G is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, a 4 nm octa-core SoC configured as 2 cores at 2.3 GHz and 6 cores at 2 GHz using big.LITTLE technology, with a TDP of 4W and support for 64-bit processing across 8 threads. Graphics are handled by the integrated Adreno 613 GPU clocked at 955 MHz, which supports DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, OpenCL 2.0, and can drive up to two displays simultaneously. The chipset also includes integrated LTE and ARM TrustZone security. The device ships with 8GB of DDR5 RAM running at 3200 MHz alongside 256GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, with the maximum supported memory amount reaching 16GB.

The Vivo Y300 5G features a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 50 MP primary sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP secondary lens at f/2.4, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination or optical image stabilization. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is absent. The rear camera records video at up to 1080p at 30 fps with slow-motion support, but does not offer HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, optical zoom, or RAW capture. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while HDR mode, burst shooting, panorama, and timelapse are all available. Flash is provided via two LED units in a standard configuration — no dual-tone, RGB, or front-facing flash is included. On the front, a single 32 MP camera at f/2.5 handles selfies without a flash or secondary lens, and it is not positioned under the display.

The Vivo Y300 5G runs Android 14, an open-source platform that supports multiple user accounts and includes on-device machine learning alongside offline voice recognition and voice commands. Privacy controls are well represented, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not present. On the usability side, the OS offers dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, an extra dim mode, customizable notifications, a media picker, widgets, sharing intents, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, Live Text, and a child lock. Games can be played while still downloading, and battery health monitoring is also built in. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, app offloading, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported, and OS updates do not come directly from the platform vendor.

The Vivo Y300 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh non-removable rechargeable battery that supports 80W wired fast charging, with a charger included in the box. A battery level indicator is built in, making it straightforward to monitor charge status. Wireless charging is not available on this device.

The Vivo Y300 5G includes stereo speakers but omits a 3.5 mm headphone jack, meaning wired audio relies on an adapter or USB-C connection. There is no radio tuner on board. For wireless audio, none of the advanced Bluetooth codec options are supported — aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are all absent.

The Vivo Y300 5G supports 5G cellular connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with download speeds reaching up to 2500 Mbits/s and upload speeds up to 900 Mbits/s. Wi-Fi coverage spans Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), while Bluetooth 5.0 handles short-range wireless connections. The device uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and includes an external memory slot for storage expansion, though NFC, HDMI output, and DLNA certification are not present. Biometric security is provided via a fingerprint scanner, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not included. On the sensor front, the phone carries a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, and GPS with Galileo support, but lacks a barometer, heart rate monitor, infrared sensor, and motion or optical tracking. Emergency SOS via satellite, crash detection, ANT+, and a built-in projector are all absent, and no stylus is included.

The Vivo Y300 5G includes a video light to assist with illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
