Vivo X300s Teased for China Launch With 200MP Camera and 144Hz Display

A new smartphone, believed to be the Vivo X300 Max, has surfaced at the Mobile World Congress 2026. While Vivo had not announced plans for a new model at the event, an executive later confirmed the device will be launched in China under the Vivo X300s name. The official disclosure also outlines display features, camera configuration, speaker setup and a new haptic motor for the device. Earlier reports have suggested the X300 Max would be unveiled in March and arrive in China as the X300s.

In a post on Weibo, Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao confirmed that the rumoured Vivo X300 Max will be launched in China as the Vivo X300s. The executive did not share a date, but indicated the device will be released in China under the X300s name. The confirmation aligns with earlier reporting that the X300 Max would be rebranded for the Chinese market as the X300s, with a launch planned for later this month.

Launch Confirmation

The official statement places the Vivo X300s in the companys product lineup for China, with the Weibo post providing the clearest public indication to date. The post does not specify a precise release date, only that the handset will be launched later this month in China. This aligns with prior rumors that the Vivo X300 Max would arrive in China as the X300s, marking a name change for the local market.

Display, Eye Protection and Audio Features

The source describes a large 6.78-inch display on the Vivo X300s with a refresh rate up to 144Hz. The display is said to use BOE Q10 Plus luminescent material and supports Circular Polarised Light 2.0 for eye protection, a feature highlighted by the executive. Separately, the phone is said to include a symmetrical dual speaker arrangement dubbed the 1511 War Drum Master, intended to enhance sound during gaming. A custom 751440 ultra-sensory vibration motor, described as using a special alloy, is said to deliver around 2.2 times greater bandwidth than the 9595 model’s haptic motor.

• Display: 6.78-inch, up to 144Hz

• Haptic: 751440 ultra-sensory vibration motor with enhanced bandwidth

Camera, Battery and Power

The Vivo X300s is confirmed to carry a Zeiss-tuned 200-megapixel rear camera, according to the post. The phone is expected to launch with a dual rear camera configuration and a mid-range periscope telephoto shooter. In parallel, a separate report indicated the X300s would be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9500+ chipset, paired with a 7,000 mAh battery. The device would succeed the X200s, which was launched in China in April 2025 at a starting price of about CNY 4,199 for the base 12GB + 256GB configuration. The X200s reportedly featured a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ AMOLED display, up to 120Hz, and a peak brightness of around 5,000 nits, powered by a Dimensity 9400+ chip.

• Rear camera: Zeiss-tuned 200 MP
• Rear setup: Dual rear plus mid-range periscope telephoto
• Chipset (rumoured): MediaTek Dimensity 9500+
• Battery (rumoured): 7,000 mAh
• Display: 6.78-inch, 144 Hz, 1.5K OLED display (mentioned in some reports)

Earlier reports also noted the X300s would launch in China as the Vivo X300s and would be the successor to the X200s, which debuted in China in 2025. The X200s was described as having a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ OLED display, a 120Hz refresh rate and a Dimensity 9400+ processor, along with a high-end camera and battery configuration. The new model is described as building on that foundation with a larger display, higher refresh rate, and upgraded imaging and audio features, though exact specifications and price for the X300s remain unconfirmed.

The company has not disclosed a precise launch date for the X300s, and market observers caution that the date could shift. If the timeline holds, the handset would reach the Chinese market later this month, with the broader availability and pricing to be announced by Vivo in due course.

Context from the industry suggests the X300s aims to compete in a crowded high-end segment, leveraging the Zeiss-tuned camera, 144Hz display, beefy battery, and the new haptic and audio features described by the executive. As with previous Vivo flagships, local pricing and regional variants will be revealed at the official launch event or through official channels in the coming weeks.

Next steps for readers are to watch for a formal launch announcement from Vivo and for any regional availability details that may follow the initial China release. The press materials and posts from the Vivo product team will likely provide the definitive specification sheet and the final feature list as the company confirms the X300s for the market.
