The phone's camera system is also noteworthy, featuring a quad-camera setup with a high-resolution main sensor and a dedicated telephoto lens.

In this review, we'll put the device through its paces to see if it lives up to its promise of delivering top-notch performance and features.

vivo Y300 Pro

The Vivo Y300 Pro stands out with its massive 6,500mAh battery, making it an attractive option for those seeking long-lasting power without added bulk. Despite its large capacity, the phone's thickness and weight are comparable to regular flagship devices, thanks to Vivo's innovative battery packaging and reduced motherboard size. In our testing, the phone performed exceptionally well, lasting 5 hours in a heavy endurance test with minimal battery drop. Video watching consumed just 4% of the battery, allowing for up to 20 hours of continuous playback. Gaming performance was also impressive, with Honor of Kings playable at 90 FPS for up to 11 hours. The Vivo Y300 Pro supports fast charging, reaching 100% in just 48 minutes. Its battery can be charged up to 1,700 times and still retain over 80% capacity. The phone's design is sleek, with a 6.7-inch OLED display featuring rounded corners and a slight curve for comfortable handling. The Y300 Pro also boasts an IR remote control and IP65 waterproof rating, making it practical for everyday use. With up to 12GB of RAM and 512GB storage, the phone performs well in daily tasks and can handle demanding games like Honor of Kings at 90 FPS. However, camera quality is below average, with no optical image stabilization. The Vivo Y300 Pro starts at CNY 799 (around $253 USD) for its base variant with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. This phone is ideal for those prioritizing battery life, multimedia use, and casual gaming. While it may have some drawbacks, the Y300 Pro's impressive battery performance makes it a compelling option for those seeking a long-lasting device without added bulk.
