Vivo X300 Pro Gets Rs. 20,000 Price Hike in Nepal: Can the Camera King Justify the Price?

The Vivo X300 Pro had near-perfect timing. It launched just before the price hikes started and even came in cheaper than its predecessor, the X200 Pro. That made it one of the most tempting flagship phones in Nepal. But that sweet deal is gone. As of today, September 1, the Vivo X300 Pro has received a hefty price hike.

So, with the price hike, is the Vivo X300 Pro still worth considering? Or has the higher price taken away some of its appeal? Before we get into that, let’s look at the new price and what it means for the X300 Pro.

What is the Price of the Vivo X300 Pro in Nepal?

Vivo smartphones have typically launched Rs. 2,000 to 3,000 more expensive than their predecessors in Nepal, even before the recent price hikes. That’s why the X300 Pro’s Rs. 1,79,999 launch price came as a surprise, especially since it was Rs. 5,000 cheaper than the X200 Pro.

However, with the previous stock of the X300 Pro running out, Vivo Nepal brought in new stock, so the price bump was expected.

The phone now costs Rs. 20,000 more, taking the Vivo X300 Pro price in Nepal to Rs. 1,99,999 for the sole 16/512GB variant.

For photography enthusiasts, Vivo previously brought the Telephoto Kit, which included a grip and lens kit. Sadly, it hasn’t returned this time around. However,  the phone does come with a 2-year extended warranty and 1-time Breakage and Water damage insurance valid for 6 months.

The phone is available for purchase through Daraz and authorised retail stores across Nepal.

First, let’s get this out of the way. The Vivo X300 Pro isn’t a huge generational jump from the X200 Pro. Instead, it focuses on smaller upgrades and refinements. When the previous model already had most things figured out, improving it further isn’t an easy task.

With that said, let’s get into what the phone does best: the camera.

Vivo X300 Pro Overview

The Vivo X300 Pro has a big camera bump that’s clearly visible through your jeans, so it’s bound to turn heads. But hey, that’s what you get with a proper triple-camera setup: a 50MP main, 200MP periscope telephoto, and 50MP ultrawide, all co-engineered with ZEISS.

The main and periscope telephoto cameras now feature new sensors, with the primary camera using Sony’s LYT-828. This newer sensor should improve image processing and overall camera performance. On top of that, the main camera now gets gimbal-grade stabilisation for super-steady shots.

Megapixels remain the same as the X200 Pro, but the front camera receives a significant upgrade with a 50MP lens and a 1/2.76-inch sensor. The X300 Pro also supports 10-bit log video recording up to 4K at 120fps, something you couldn’t do before.

The display spec remains the same with a 6.78-inch LTPO (1~120Hz) AMOLED panel. However, Vivo has switched to Armor Glass protection for the X300 Pro.

Design-wise, it’s not a huge leap from the X200 Pro, except that the LED flash has moved to the left of the camera bump. Up front, Vivo has ditched the curved panel for a fully flat display, giving it a more iPhone-like look. Speaking of iPhone vibes, there’s now an Action button on the left frame too.

Under the hood, it runs on MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500, which competes with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in the flagship segment. Talking of the variants, it comes in a single variant with 16GB LPDDR5x RAM paired with 512GB UFS 4.1 storage.

Battery-wise, the X300 Pro packs a huge 6,510mAh battery, which is a massive win. It gives the phone plenty of battery capacity to handle its powerful chip, high-resolution display, and camera-heavy setup. It also supports 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, so topping it up shouldn’t take too long.

The X300 Pro runs OriginOS instead of Funtouch OS, which is probably one of the biggest changes to the software experience. While the Chinese version gets a few more customisation options, the switch to OriginOS is still a welcome move for Vivo’s flagship lineup.

Just like the Vivo X200 Pro, the X300 Pro is a global sensation and a powerhouse when it comes to photography. That said, I would’ve liked to see an even bigger battery, but with that huge camera setup taking up so much space, Vivo gets a pass.

The bigger concern is the new price. The X300 Pro now goes head-to-head with premium flagships like Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro series. It may not compete with the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra across the board, but its camera performance is certainly good enough to give Samsung’s flagship a run for its money.

At the end of the day, the X300 Pro is still an impressive phone, especially if cameras are your top priority. But at the new price, it no longer feels like the easy recommendation it was at launch. Its camera hardware remains a major selling point, but you now have to think twice about whether it is worth spending this much when there are plenty of strong options around this price.
