Vivo X300e Leak Reveals a Big Battery and a Few Missing Features

Vivo’s sixth phone in the X300 family has cleared every certification China requires, and the paperwork confirms a 7,015mAh battery packed into a body just 7.99mm thick. The device, model number V2612A, is expected to launch in China as the Vivo X300e sometime in July or August 2026.

The same leaks that nailed down that battery number go quiet on two things flagship buyers tend to expect: wireless charging and an IP water resistance rating. Both are standard on the X300e’s closest sibling, the X300 FE, and neither has shown up anywhere in the certification filings or tipster leaks so far.

Vivo X300e Clears China’s Full Certification Gauntlet

A device carrying the model number V2612A passed China’s TENAA certification platform on 28 June 2026, under certificate number 02 B220 262044. The original X300 and X300 Pro went official across Europe on October 30 last year, so a Chinese certification filing arriving eight months later for a sixth variant is not exactly a surprise for this lineup.

Soon after the TENAA listing, Chinese tech bloggers pinned the model number to the Vivo X300e name, and days later the same device cleared 3C certification, which confirmed its charging profile. MIIT approval followed, giving the phone all three major domestic clearances a device needs before a public unveiling.

Those filings, independent of any tipster, lock in real numbers: a 6.59 inch AMOLED display at 2750 by 1260 pixels, a body measuring 157.52 by 74.33 by 7.99mm, and a weight of 203 grams. An octa core processor clocked at 3.8GHz also showed up in the listing, a detail that lines up with what’s expected from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 without technically naming it.

What We Know

• TENAA confirms a 6.59 inch AMOLED panel at 2750×1260 resolution, a 7.99mm by 203 gram body, and a 7,015mAh rated battery.
• 3C certification confirms 90W wired fast charging on the same V2612A model number.
• The processor’s 3.8GHz clock speed matches expectations for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the same chip in the Vivo X300 FE.

What’s Unconfirmed

• Whether the phone supports wireless charging at all.
• Any IP rating for dust or water resistance.
• The ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, mentioned by tipster Digital Chat Station but not verified.
• An official launch date, price, or the exact chipset name.

Everything else, including the chipset’s exact name and the camera tuning, still rests on tipster reporting rather than regulatory filings.

The Camera Island Gets a New Shape

Digital Chat Station, a Weibo tipster with a long track record on Vivo hardware, filled in the rest of the spec sheet after the certifications surfaced. The rear camera module is reportedly moving away from the circular bump on the standard X300 and the horizontal strip on the X300 FE, landing instead on a square shaped island tucked into the upper left corner.

The rear setup is expected to pair a 50MP main sensor with an 8MP ultrawide camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens, widely reported as a Sony IMX8 sensor, all carrying Zeiss optical tuning. A 50MP selfie camera sits up front, and a metal frame wraps the sides in place of the rounded edges seen on some earlier X series phones.

Color options tipped for the launch include three finishes.

• Moonlight White
• Midnight Black
• Sunlight Orange

None of that has been confirmed by Vivo directly, and the company has not commented on the leaks at any point in the process.

A 7,015mAh Cell Inside a 7.99mm Frame

The headline number is the battery. TENAA’s listing rates it at 7,015mAh, a figure tipsters and outlets have rounded up to roughly 7,100mAh, and it arrives in a chassis thinner than the X300 FE’s 8.2mm despite carrying about 600mAh more capacity. Fitting a cell that size into a phone this slim is the kind of engineering trade that normally forces a choice between battery life and thinness.

Vivo has been chasing bigger batteries across its lineup all year. The Vivo X Fold 6 carries a 7,000mAh silicon carbon cell, and the budget Vivo Y500 shipped with an 8,100mAh battery. For comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra uses a 5,000mAh battery in a body that measures over 8mm thick, which is roughly the scale of the gap the X300e is trying to close.

Paired with the confirmed 90W wired charging from the 3C listing, a full charge should land somewhere around 45 to 55 minutes, based on how Vivo’s other 90W enabled X300 phones have performed in testing. Whether the X300e uses silicon carbon chemistry to hit that density hasn’t been confirmed either way.

The Features Missing From This Leak

Here’s the trade nobody has explained yet. No leak or certification filing has mentioned wireless charging on the X300e, even though every other current member of the X300 family, including the X300 FE, supports it. The X300 FE ships with a 6,500 mAh cell and 40W wireless charging, a feature that would need to be cut, not just left undocumented, for its absence on the X300e to make sense.

Water resistance is the other open question. The X300 FE and X300 Pro both carry IP68 and IP69 ratings, and Vivo has leaned on that spec in its marketing. The X300e’s certification paperwork says nothing about ingress protection at all. That silence stands out at a moment when rivals in the same price bracket are marketing ruggedness aggressively, including a durability stunt built around footballs and a fire hose from Redmi’s Note 17 Pro line.

None of this means the features are gone for good. Certification filings don’t always capture every spec, and Vivo could still confirm both at the eventual launch event. But if the pattern holds, the X300e would be trading two features flagship buyers have come to expect for a bigger battery and a slightly lower price.

X300e Versus X300 FE, Spec for Spec

The X300e’s closest relative in the lineup is the X300 FE, and the leaked spec sheet reads like a direct upgrade in some columns and a downgrade in others.

The pattern is consistent across every row: bigger screen, bigger battery, slightly heavier, but every convenience feature tied to the FE’s premium positioning is either missing or unverified on the e model.

Six Phones Into One Flagship Generation

Vivo already sells five X300 phones: the standard X300, the X300 Pro, the X300 Ultra, the X300 FE, and the China only X300s. Adding the X300e as a sixth variant stretches a single flagship generation further than Vivo has stretched one before.

The pricing spread across that lineup is wide enough to make the point on its own. The X300 Ultra’s global configuration starts at a 1TB model priced at €1,999 across 20 countries, while 91mobiles’ review of the Indian model put a ₹1,60,000 price tag on the phone alone before the optional photography kit. A pre launch estimate for the top configuration ran as high as €1,900 (about $2,190). The X300e, by contrast, is shaping up as the cheapest phone in the family.

There’s a history here worth noting. The device now expected to launch as the X300e was reportedly linked to the name X500E earlier in its development, before Vivo apparently folded it back into the X300 family instead of holding it for the next generation. That next generation is close. The Vivo X500 series is expected in September 2026, reportedly with its own X500e variant, meaning the X300e would go on sale only a month or two before the phone that replaces its entire family arrives.

When Will the Vivo X300e Launch, and What Will It Cost?

Vivo hasn’t announced a launch date, but the certification timeline points to a China debut in July or August 2026, followed by a global rollout on the pattern the company has used for the rest of the X300 series. No price is official, though industry trackers have floated early estimates.

Smartprix has listed an expected India price of ₹59,990, notably below the X300 FE’s ₹79,999 starting price and its roughly €999 European price. If that estimate holds, the X300e would undercut every other phone in the lineup on price while offering the largest battery of the group.

Vivo’s rollout habits with this series offer a rough template. The X300 and X300 Pro launched with a €600 pre-order gift bundle for early registrants in some European markets, and the X300 Ultra followed a similar staggered path from China to a broader country list months later. If the X300e follows that same script, a China launch this summer would likely put a global release sometime in the autumn, right as the X500 series starts to dominate the conversation.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will the Vivo X300e launch?

Vivo hasn’t announced a date, but the phone cleared MIIT, TENAA and 3C certification in late June and early July 2026, and outlets tracking the filings expect a China debut in July or August 2026, with a global rollout to follow afterward.

How big is the Vivo X300e’s battery?

TENAA’s certification lists a 7,015mAh rated capacity, though tipsters and several outlets round that up to roughly 7,100mAh. Either way, it beats the 6,500mAh cell in the Vivo X300 FE while the new phone stays thinner at 7.99mm.

Does the Vivo X300e have wireless charging?

It’s unclear. Leaks confirm 90W wired charging through 3C certification, but no source has mentioned wireless charging, a feature the X300 FE, X300 Pro and X300 Ultra all include, so its absence would be a real downgrade if it holds through launch.

What is the Vivo X300e’s expected price?

Vivo hasn’t priced it, but Smartprix has listed an expected India price of ₹59,990, well under the X300 FE’s ₹79,999 starting price. Outlets tracking the leak expect the e model to become the most affordable phone in the X300 line.

What chipset powers the Vivo X300e?

TENAA’s listing shows an octa core chip clocked at 3.8GHz, which matches the expected configuration of the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5, the same processor tipster Digital Chat Station and multiple outlets say powers the phone, identical to the Vivo X300 FE.

How is the Vivo X300e different from the Vivo X300 FE?

The X300e trades the FE’s 6.31 inch screen for a 6.59 inch panel and adds roughly 600mAh more battery, per leaks, while reportedly swapping the FE’s camera layout for a square shaped module and shaving thickness from 8.2mm down to 7.99mm.
