Vivo Y300 Plus 5G

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G has a non-folding, non-rugged form factor measuring 164.4 mm tall, 74.9 mm wide, and just 7.5 mm thick, giving it a notably slim profile with a total volume of 92.35 cm³. It weighs 172 g, keeping it reasonably light for everyday handling. On the durability side, the device carries an IP54 rating, meaning it offers protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction, making it water resistant in practical, everyday scenarios.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G features a 6.78″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a 1080 x 2400 px resolution and a pixel density of 388 ppi, producing a sharp and vibrant image across its large panel. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion, and the Always-On Display function allows glanceable information to remain visible without fully waking the screen. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, and it lacks support for HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision; there is also no secondary screen.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G, a 6 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU configuration running two cores at 2.2 GHz and six efficiency cores at 1.7 GHz across 8 threads, supported by integrated LTE and built-in graphics. The chip employs big.LITTLE architecture with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing (HMP), an NX bit, and ARM TrustZone for security, and it does not use simultaneous multithreading. Graphics are handled by the Adreno 619 GPU clocked at 950 MHz, with support for DirectX 12, OpenGL ES 3.2, and OpenCL 2. The device pairs this with 8 GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2133 MHz across two memory channels, offering a maximum bandwidth of 17 GB/s, alongside 128 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage — the maximum supported memory amount is also 8 GB. Benchmark results place the chipset at 437,860 on AnTuTu, 4,389 on PassMark, 894 single-core and 2,044 multi-core on Geekbench 6, and 669 single-core and 1,928 multi-core on Geekbench 5, with a thermal design power of 4W.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G features a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 50 MP sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP sensor at f/2.4, capable of recording video at 1080p and 30 fps with continuous autofocus during recording and slow-motion support; optical zoom is not available, and optical image stabilization is absent. For stills, the main camera supports phase-detection autofocus, touch autofocus, burst mode, HDR, panorama, timelapse, manual exposure, manual ISO, manual focus, and manual white balance, though manual shutter speed, laser autofocus, RAW capture, 360° panorama, HDR10 recording, Dolby Vision recording, and 3D photo or video are not supported. A single LED flash is present on the rear, while a dual-tone or RGB flash is not included. On the front, a 32 MP single-lens camera sits at f/2.5 — it is not housed under the display and does not have a dedicated flash or a secondary lens.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G runs Android 14, a free and open-source platform that supports multiple user accounts and includes on-device machine learning alongside offline voice recognition and voice commands. Privacy is addressed through clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not available. Customization options span dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, and customizable notifications with full notification permission controls. The OS also supports practical features such as split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page scrolling screenshots, a media picker, Live Text for selecting text in images, an extra dim mode, battery health monitoring, a child lock, sharing intents, phone tracking, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Focus modes, app offloading, Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported, and the device does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery that supports 44W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator keeps the user informed of remaining charge at a glance. Wireless charging is not available on this device.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G has a notably limited audio feature set. It does not include a 3.5 mm headphone jack or stereo speakers, meaning wired headphone use requires an adapter and audio output is limited to a single speaker. On the wireless audio side, none of the high-quality Bluetooth codec standards are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC. The device also lacks a built-in radio receiver.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G supports 5G connectivity through its cellular module and accommodates two SIM cards, with download speeds reaching up to 2500 Mbits/s and upload speeds up to 1500 Mbits/s. Wi-Fi coverage spans Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), while Bluetooth 5.1 handles short-range wireless connections; NFC is not present, and there is no external memory slot for storage expansion. The device uses a USB Type-C port for wired connectivity but lacks an HDMI output. For biometric security, a fingerprint scanner is built in, though 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not supported. Onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, GPS, and compass, while a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and ANT+ support are absent. The device does not include a stylus, built-in projector, motion tracking, optical tracking, crash detection, satellite SOS, or DLNA certification.

The Vivo Y300 Plus 5G features a curved display and includes a video light for illumination during video recording. The screen is not made of sapphire glass, and the device does not use an e-paper display.
