Vivo X300 E Leaks: Triple‑Camera Zeiss Setup, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, and a Massive 7 200 mAh Battery

Just a day before the official unveiling, Vivo’s upcoming flagship – the X300 E – showed up in the device catalog of China Telecom, one of the country’s three big mobile operators. It’s a classic case of a leak that actually feels like a sneak peek.

The handset carries the model code V2612A and sports a 6.59‑inch LCD panel with a centered punch‑hole for a 50 MP selfie sensor. It’s not the most radical design, but the sheer size of the front camera feels like a nod to today’s selfie‑obsessed crowd.

Under the hood lives Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, promising smooth performance for gaming, AI tricks and everyday multitasking. Vivo will ship the phone in three flavours: an entry‑level 8 GB + 256 GB variant, a 12 GB + 256 GB model, and a top‑tier 12 GB + 512 GB version for those who like a bit of extra storage.

Now, the camera department is where the X300 E tries to stand out. The rear module, tucked into a squircle‑shaped housing in the top‑left corner, houses a 50 MP primary sensor, a second 50 MP telephoto lens, and an 8 MP ultra‑wide‑angle shooter. Zeiss branding on the module hints at some serious optical tuning, and a tiny LED flash sits beside the lenses.

Power‑wise, Vivo isn’t shy: the phone packs a 7 200 mAh battery, which should comfortably push the device through a full day of heavy use. It will run Android 16 right out of the box, and the software layer is expected to be Vivo’s own FunTouch OS.

Physical dimensions are fairly standard – 157.52 mm tall, 74.33 mm wide, and just under 8 mm thick – while the weight lands at 203 g. The phone also brings an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, and a dust‑ and water‑resistant build, though the exact IP rating hasn’t been disclosed yet.

Color options include a sleek “Moonlight White”, a bold “Orange” and a more muted Black/Gray. A short promotional video released by Vivo confirms the processor, camera lineup and the hefty battery, giving us a clearer picture of what to expect.

All in all, the Vivo X300 E looks like a solid, if not groundbreaking, addition to the X300 family. It will hit the Chinese market on July 27, and we’ll see shortly whether the specs translate into real‑world performance that lives up to the hype.
