vivo X300 vs vivo X500 5G
Comparison between vivo X300 and vivo X500 5G: camera, battery, fast charging, display, performance and colors, side by side. More phones from vivo.
NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The vivo X300 is the more balanced choice: it leads the X500 5G in design and display, and its 200 MP main camera stands against the other phone’s 50 MP. The X500 5G counters with a 7,500 mAh battery versus 6,040 mAh and a larger screen, 6.59 inches versus 6.31 inches.
The X300 is narrower and lighter at 71.9 mm and 190 g; the X500 5G measures 75 mm wide and weighs 213 g. The X300’s LTPO AMOLED display reaches 4,500 nits, compared with 4,000 nits on the X500 5G’s AMOLED panel. The X500 5G instead raises the refresh rate to 144 Hz from 120 Hz. For performance, the X300 pairs 16 GB of RAM with the MediaTek Dimensity 9500; the X500 5G has 12 GB and the MediaTek Dimensity 9600M.
The X500 5G has a 64 MP telephoto camera versus 50 MP and records 8K video at 30 fps, which the X300 does not offer. Both support 90 W wired charging and 40 W wireless charging. The X300 is the better fit for someone who wants a lighter phone and a high-resolution main camera; the X500 5G suits someone looking for more battery capacity, a larger display, and a higher-resolution telephoto camera.
