Vivo and iQOO are preparing to bring two premium phones to India, with the Vivo X300 and the iQOO 15 set to launch within days of each other. Both devices are already drawing attention because leaked details point to strong cameras, large batteries and new software versions. The X300 is expected to appeal to users who want a compact design and a high-resolution camera system, while the iQOO 15 seems to be aimed at users who want maximum performance and a bigger screen for gaming and multimedia. Their expected prices place them in the upper premium range, which has seen rising interest in India. With confirmed launch dates, buyers now have a clearer idea of what to expect.
The Vivo X300 is expected to come with a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED screen. The reported resolution is 1216 x 2640 pixels with about 460 ppi. The display is also expected to support an adaptive refresh rate, which allows the screen to adjust its rate depending on the content. This usually helps with smooth scrolling and battery management.
The iQOO 15 is expected to offer a bigger 6.85-inch LTPO AMOLED screen with a higher 1440 x 3168 resolution and about 508 ppi. It is reported to feature a fixed 120 Hz refresh rate. The larger size makes it better suited for users who watch a lot of videos or play games on a big screen.

The Vivo X300 is likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chip. This chip is expected to provide strong day-to-day performance for apps, photos and light gaming.
The iQOO 15 is tipped to use the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. This chip is expected to deliver higher performance levels, especially for gaming and heavy tasks.
Both phones are expected to run Android 16 with OriginOS 6. RAM and storage options should start at 12 GB + 256 GB and go up to 16 GB + 1 TB. These combinations are now common in premium phones and help with multitasking and storing large files.
The Vivo X300 is expected to house a 6040 mAh battery. Charging support is tipped at 90 W wired and 40 W wireless. These speeds suggest fast charging, but still within widely used limits.
The iQOO 15 is expected to include an even larger 7000 mAh battery. It may support 100 W wired charging along with 40 W wireless charging. This larger battery could offer longer usage on a single charge.

The iQOO 15 is also said to have both IP68 and IP69 ratings, while the Vivo X300 series is reported to feature only IP68. This suggests that the iQOO 15 may offer stronger protection in dusty or wet environments.
The Vivo X300 is expected to feature a triple rear camera system with a 200 MP main camera, a 50 MP periscope lens and an ultrawide lens. The phone may also include a 50 MP selfie camera. These figures suggest that Vivo is focusing strongly on photography.
The iQOO 15 is reported to include a triple rear camera setup with a 50 MP main camera, a periscope lens and an ultrawide lens. On the front, it is expected to feature a 32 MP selfie camera. While the megapixel count is lower compared to the X300, the setup still targets users who want stable everyday photos.
