The vivo X300 was spotted running Geekbench earlier today, letting the Dimensity 9500 stretch its legs. The new chip will be announced on September 22, one day ahead of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. But it won’t be the only notable chip inside the X300 phones – vivo will also integrate its in-house V3+ imaging chip.
This chip will allow the vivo X300 phones to record cinematic portrait video at 4K 60fps. This will be a “first for both Android and Apple phones,” says Han Boxiao. The latest iPhone 17 series does cinematic portrait video at 4K but only at 30fps – as do the outgoing vivo X200 phones. More details about the video capabilities of the X300 phones will be revealed tomorrow, Han promised.
The vivo X300 series will pair the Dimensity 9500 with the V3+
Vivo has worked with ARM and MediaTek to enhance the NPU inside the Dimensity 9500 chip. This allows for fast computation on tasks such as focus tracking – the X300 series will be able to achieve millisecond-level motion tracking and shutter response.
The Dimensity 9500 will make the vivo X300 series the first phones to crack the 4 million points barrier on AnTuTu, as seen in a screenshot shared by Han last week. There are more exciting firsts coming from the new flagship series – the X300 Ultra will be the world’s first phone with two 200MP cameras, for example.
