Vivo Y300 Pro 5G

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G has a standard, non-folding form factor with dimensions of 163.4 mm in height, 76.4 mm in width, and a slim 7.7 mm thickness, giving it a total volume of approximately 96.12 cm³. It weighs 194 g, which is fairly typical for a device of its size. On the durability front, it carries an IP65 rating, meaning it offers protection against dust and low-pressure water jets, though it does not feature a rugged build designed for harsh environments.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G features a 6.77″ OLED/AMOLED touchscreen with a resolution of 1080 x 2392 px and a pixel density of 388 ppi, delivering a reasonably sharp visual experience. The panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother motion and includes an Always-On Display mode for at-a-glance information. However, it does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no branded damage-resistant glass or secondary screen present.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1, a 4 nm chipset with an octa-core CPU configured as four cores at 2.2 GHz and four at 1.8 GHz, running across 8 threads with big.LITTLE and HMP support for efficient workload distribution. It is paired with 12 GB of DDR5 RAM at 2750 MHz across two memory channels, offering a maximum bandwidth of 22 GB/s, along with 512 GB of internal storage using eMMC 5.1. The Adreno 710 GPU clocks at 800 MHz with 128 shading units and supports DirectX 12, OpenCL 2, and OpenGL ES 3.2, with integrated graphics handling visual processing on-chip. The chipset scores 943 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 2748 in multi-core, operates at a TDP of 7W, and includes integrated LTE, TrustZone security, and 64-bit support. Cache configuration consists of 256 KB L1, 2 MB L2, and 2 MB L3.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G uses a dual rear camera system consisting of a 50 MP primary lens with an f/1.8 aperture and a 2 MP secondary lens at f/2.4, both using CMOS sensors without back-illumination. The main camera supports phase-detection autofocus for stills and continuous autofocus during video, along with touch autofocus, but lacks laser autofocus and optical image stabilization. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, though manual shutter speed is not available. Additional shooting modes include HDR, burst, panorama, slow-motion video, and timelapse, while RAW capture and 360° panorama are not supported. Video recording reaches up to 4K at 30 fps, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are absent. A standard flash is included on the rear, but there is no dual-tone or RGB LED flash. The front camera offers 32 MP at f/2.0 as a single-lens setup without an under-display placement or a front-facing flash.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G runs Android 14 and includes a solid set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not present. On the usability side, it supports dark mode, dynamic theming, theme customization, widgets, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, sharing intents, and a child lock. The OS also features on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, phone tracking, battery health check, an extra dim mode, and multi-user support. Games can be played while downloading, and the system is free and open source. However, it does not support focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, app offloading, Quick Start, direct OS vendor updates, or the ability to function as a PC.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G is equipped with a 6500 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 80W wired fast charging, allowing for significantly quicker top-ups compared to standard charging speeds. A battery level indicator is included for convenient monitoring. The battery is non-removable and does not support wireless charging.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G omits a 3.5 mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, and a built-in radio. For wireless audio, it supports aptX, aptX HD, and aptX Adaptive, covering a range of higher-quality Bluetooth audio transmission options, though LDAC and aptX Lossless are not available.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G supports 5G connectivity with a dual SIM configuration and cellular module, alongside Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) for wireless networking. Bluetooth 5.1 handles short-range wireless communication, and the device connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0. Download speeds reach up to 2900 Mbits/s while upload is rated at 900 Mbits/s. NFC is absent, and there is no external memory slot, HDMI output, or DLNA certification. For navigation, the phone includes GPS with Galileo support, a compass, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer, though a barometer is not present. A fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication, while 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not featured. The device also includes an infrared sensor but does not support ANT+, motion tracking, optical tracking, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, a heart rate monitor, or a built-in projector, and no stylus is included.

The Vivo Y300 Pro 5G includes a video light for use during video recording, but does not feature a sapphire glass display, a curved display, or an e-paper display.
