| The Vivo X300 FE and its Telephoto Extender Kit. |
After weeks of speculation, Vivo has finally unleashed its latest compact flagship—the X300 FE—across multiple European markets. First unveiled in Russia over a month ago, the device quietly appeared on Vivo Austria’s official listing on April 24 with a promised April 29 release date. But now, the wait is over: the X300 FE is officially available for order in Germany, Spain, and Austria, and Vivo is sweetening the deal with some seriously tempting bundle offers.
A Compact Frame That Packs a Surprising Punch
The Vivo X300 FE is turning heads for one simple reason: it’s roughly the same size as a Samsung Galaxy S26 (currently $799 on Amazon), yet manages to house a whopping 51% larger battery than its Samsung rival. We’re talking about a 6,500 mAh cell that Vivo backs up with 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging—numbers that would have seemed absurd in a phone this small just a year ago.
Under the hood, the X300 FE runs on the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset found in the OnePlus 15R. Combine that with 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, and you’ve got a multitasking beast that doesn’t break a sweat whether you’re editing 4K video or jumping between heavy apps.
The display is another highlight: a 6.31-inch 120Hz AMOLED panel that peaks at an eye-searing 5,000 nits of brightness. That means perfect visibility even under direct summer sunlight, and the high refresh rate keeps scrolling buttery smooth.
Built to Survive – IP69 Certification Included
Vivo didn’t cut corners on durability either. The X300 FE boasts IP69 certification, which goes beyond the typical IP68 rating. While IP68 protects against submersion, IP69 adds resistance to high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. Whether you drop it in a puddle or accidentally spray it with a hose, this phone laughs it off.
The Telephoto Extender Kit: A Photographer’s Dream
Perhaps the most intriguing accessory is the optional Telephoto Extender Kit, which Vivo markets as the “Best Experience Kit” in Austria and Germany. For an extra €200 on top of the base price, you get:
- A 200mm telephoto extender lens
- A custom-fit protective case
- A dedicated lens cap
- A screen protector
- A power adapter
This turns the already capable X300 FE into a serious pocket-sized photography rig. The 200mm extender gives you optical zoom reach that rivals dedicated compact cameras, making it perfect for wildlife, sports, or concert photography.
And if you’re shopping in Spain, there’s an even sweeter limited-time promo: Vivo is throwing in a free Watch GT2 smartwatch with every X300 FE purchase until May 31. Not a bad deal for early adopters.
Pricing and Availability
Vivo is asking €999 (roughly 1,400).
If you want to see current pricing or grab one of these bundles, you can find the X300 FE on Amazon Spain and various official Vivo channels.

- Vivo Online Store – Standard X300 FE
- Amazon Spain listing
Final Thoughts: Is the X300 FE Worth It?
For anyone who’s been begging for a truly compact flagship that doesn’t compromise on battery life or camera versatility, the Vivo X300 FE feels like a gift. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip ensures flagship-level performance, the 6,500 mAh battery easily gets you through two days of heavy use, and the optional telephoto kit transforms the phone into a legitimate camera tool.
Yes, €999 is a premium price. But when you consider that the Galaxy S26 with similar storage costs $799 and comes with a much smaller battery, slower charging, and no IP69 rating, the Vivo starts to look like a compelling alternative. Throw in the telephoto extender and you’ve got a setup that no other compact phone can match right now.
If you’re in Europe and value one-handed usability without sacrificing battery life or camera reach, the X300 FE is very likely the best compact flagship of the year. Just don’t wait too long if you want that free Watch GT2 in Spain—the offer expires May 31.
