Vivo Y300 Pro arriving next week with several company firsts | Infinium-tech

Jia Jingdong, Vivo President and General Manager of Brand & Product Strategy, revealed that the Vivo Y300 Pro will arrive next week.

The phone will be unveiled in China on September 5, and the executive wrote a lengthy post on Weibo detailing all the new key features like the bigger battery and quad-curved display, and why they are important for the company.

The Y series is the best-selling lineup of Vivo phones in China, and Jia explained that the company wants to bring flagship features to its more affordable handsets. So the new phones will have silicon-carbon batteries – the same technology used in the Vivo X Fold3 and Fold3 Pro. The capacity here will be higher, though, and the Y300 Pro will have a 6,500mAh cell – the first mainstream phone to reach such a capacity in 2024.

The new battery technology with its higher density enables Vivo to still make a slim phone with that capacity – it will be just 7.69mm thick. In addition, the company is bringing 80W fast charging and reverse charging, and promises that the battery will be able to retain its capacity for up to five years.

The screen is advertised as quad-curved, and this is the first time Vivo is adopting this design, saying it will create a “perfectly symmetrical” appearance. In addition it will have a maximum brightness of 5,000 nits, blue light filtering, and SGS certification for anti-flicker.

The Y300 Pro will be dustproof and “all-weather rainproof,” which could mean anything from IP53 to IP68, but we don’t expect to find any official IP ratings, as the company doesn’t usually bother certifying its devices for the Chinese market.

The camera island at the back is similar to the flagship X100 series, based on a “360-degree sun design”. It will be a dual-camera setup, with the main shooter being a 50 MP sensor. The selfie camera will have a 32 MP imager.

There are still seven days left for the official launch. We expect Vivo to release more details about the Y300 Pro in the coming days.
