Vivo X300 FE Leak: "Fan Edition" Flagship Set to Surprise with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and Giant Battery

As the May 6, 2026 launch date approaches, a major leak has revealed nearly everything about the Vivo X300 FE. While "Fan Edition" models are typically budget-friendly versions of flagships, the X300 FE appears to be a powerhouse that could rival most top-tier devices.

A retail box leak surfaced on April 28, showing an MRP of ₹1,19,999, though industry insiders expect the actual selling price to be significantly lower, albeit higher than previous generations.


The "Surprise" Features: More than Just a Budget Flagship

The X300 FE is breaking the mold for FE devices with several high-end specifications that were previously reserved for "Pro" or "Ultra" models.

  • The Powerhouse Chipset: Surprisingly, the X300 FE is tipped to feature the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (or Snapdragon 8 Elite), marking a significant jump in processing power.

  • Massive 6,500mAh Battery: One of the biggest highlights is the 6,500mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, paired with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.

  • ZEISS Photography Kit: In a first for the FE series, this phone will support an external Zeiss Telephoto Extender Kit, allowing for professional-grade optical zoom capabilities.

  • Display Brilliance: It features a 6.31-inch 1.5K LTPO AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 5,000 nits—making it one of the brightest screens on the market.


Leaked Price & India Launch Details

While the retail box shows a six-figure MRP, the competitive launch price is expected to turn heads.

Variant Leaked MRP Expected Launch Price
12GB RAM + 256GB Storage ₹1,19,999 ₹79,999
16GB RAM + 512GB Storage - ₹89,999
  • India Launch Date: May 6, 2026 (alongside the X300 Ultra).

  • Exclusive Color: A special "Forest Green" variant is confirmed specifically for the Indian market.

  • Availability: Flipkart, Amazon, and Vivo e-store.

Expert Take: The Vivo X300 FE seems to be repositioning itself. Much like Yash delaying Toxic to ensure a "global standard," Vivo is pushing the "Fan Edition" into the premium territory. However, with a starting price potentially around ₹80,000, it will face stiff competition from the Xiaomi 17 and OnePlus 14.
