vivo X300 reviews by real users vivo X300

Right from the start: I would NEVER spend €1099 on the Vivo X300. Not because it's not worth the price, I simply think that technology in general isn't worth it, regardless of the manufacturer. These phones are just completely overpriced. But that's just my opinion... Anyway, I waited until I found one at a price I considered reasonable, used of course. And yes, as they say, seek and ye shall find... The design is excellent, it fits very well in the hand, even if it could be a bit smaller for my taste. Around 1 cm longer and a few millimeters wider, then it would be perfect for me. The performance is more than adequate; it runs smoothly and handles my needs with ease. I don't play games, so I'll probably never push the X300 to its limits. The battery is more than sufficient for my needs. I charge it to 80% and with about 3-4 hours of screen time (sometimes more), I get through the evening with about 30-40% left. The photos are very good. I'm not a photographer, blogger, or anything like that, but I do take a lot of photos for work. And I'm extremely satisfied with the quality, both in daylight and in low light. OxygenOS runs very smoothly, isn't at all cluttered, and isn't as "colorful and playful" as, say, the old FunTuchOS or HarmonyOS. Everything is easily configurable, clear, and easy to understand. The only things I miss from One UI are the routines and stack widgets. To use the "everything off" function—that is, to turn off Bluetooth, location services, Wi-Fi, and mobile data overnight—you'd have to go through a lot of ADB and even rooting, and I'm just not up for that anymore.

So all in all, a very good smartphone and a worthy successor to the S23, my faithful companion of many years, which I will now probably retire.
