The vivo X300 FE just launched in India, and the cameras are doing a lot of the heavy lifting. We put it through its paces from daylight to low light, portraits to zoom shots to find out if the ZEISS badge actually means something here.
The X300 FE brings a triple camera setup headlined by a 50 MP main sensor with a wide f/1.57 aperture, paired with a 50 MP periscope telephoto at 3x optical zoom and yes, there's a 50 MP selfie camera too. The ultrawide is the weak link at 8 MP, but the telephoto more than makes up for it. Vivo's also leaning hard into AI here, with tools like AI Magic Move, AI Erase, AI Image Expander. We test it all in this video, so make sure you subscribe to Gizbot!

00:00So, Vivo's new X300 FE launched in a big green shade.
00:04In it, it's a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 and a triple camera setup tuned by Zayas.
00:09It's a performance review and the other reviews are coming,
00:12but today we will see a camera review of X300 FE,
00:16video recording samples, low light samples, portrait samples,
00:21all of you will see.
00:21My name is Robin, you are watching Gizbot.
00:23Subscribe to the channel and like this video.
00:26Like this video and leave a comment below so you will see any more videos.
00:42First, let's check the specs.
00:43There is no difference in X200 FE.
00:46It's a main camera, a periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom,
00:51and an ultra-wide camera.
00:53The major difference is that now you can buy additional lenses like this.
00:59For the other selfies, the front camera is a 50MP shooter and this also supports autofocus.
01:04If you have a camera on the UI, this is a typical Vivo style UI.
01:07If you have used it before, there will be no problem.
01:10The rest is quite straightforward.
01:11App opens different zoom levels, like 0.6x, 1x, 2x, 3x and 10x.
01:17You can slide it up to maximum 100x, but at this zoom level, AI can kick in the image to
01:24sharpen and upscale.
01:26On the other side, there is a option of color profiles, where you can keep the size mode, vivid mode,
01:30texture mode and many different filters.
01:33In the upper strip, you can see the macro mode enable option.
01:36There is a live photo, flash, google lens, and settings option.
01:40And just settings, the telephoto extender button will be found, which will detect the lens.
01:46The rest photo, video, portrait, portrait video, and all these options are available.
01:49In the portrait, you can choose different types of bokeh's iOS options and you can choose between them, like you
01:57can choose between them, like you can choose the background blur from behind.
02:00In the day, the photos are very beautiful, with excellent dynamic range, details in the images, and the colors are
02:06also neutral.
02:07If it is light enough, the shutter speeds are also fast, and there is no lag when clicking photos of
02:12fast moving objects, like by, are you still running?
02:14In the ultra-wide, you can switch the image, so it looks a little bit different in the wide balance,
02:18because it makes a little cool, but the colors remain largely the same.
02:22But yes, with a 8MP shooter, the details will drastically drop, compared to the 50MP shot, but it was expected,
02:28because the megapixel count is less.
02:30Overall, I think the color processing is good in the size mode, because the fruits of the color is the
02:35same, without over-saturating, especially with warm colors, like yellow or red.
02:39For example, here you can see the yellow, which is very well portrayed, like I was showing real life, and
02:44here you can add more artificial colors or artificial colors in the image.
02:49And the same thing here, you can say reds, where the color is also maintained, and in normal photo mode,
02:56the photos also look at background blur, even at f4.0.
03:00Overall, daylight photos from the primary camera, or ultra-wide, or even 2x digital zoom, are increased and colorful.
03:06So, there is no disappointment here, and more importantly, this is consistent, which is more important for me.
03:12And in 10x, zoomed-in images, surprisingly, look good, with enough details, and the color science, there is no shade.
03:19So, here you can also use the image of the image in social media, or share it with friends, so
03:26the text is very legible.
03:28In portrait mode, there is a lot of fun in extended FE, especially with human subjects.
03:32Edge detection is very well managed, even if it is a slightly challenging condition, where people are in the frame.
03:38The skin tones also maintain a lot, and the blur is natural, this is another one of my favorite images.
03:42which is 50mm, where the dynamic range is very well maintained, because the subject is dark surrounding, and the background
03:49is very bright in comparison,
03:50because there is a light of sun.
03:52Here, there is a good balance output, excellent FE.
03:57This is a normal primary and portrait camera shots, which were 50mm, but the 100mm shots also carry a lot
04:02of details.
04:03Even if you zoom in, and there is edge detection, it is flawless, which I am surprised, especially considering that
04:09the subject is so much in distance.
04:1185mm is very interesting focal length, if your subject is far away, and the text on the cap is visible,
04:17if you zoom in and see it.
04:19Details on the face are also well lit, and you can see it very well without overexposure, because the sides
04:24are deep,
04:24so overall, portrait mode is very interesting.
04:28And in general, it was consistent, which I saw before in the Vivo extended series, and X-100 series, and
04:33X-100 series.
04:34The color processing here is a little bit better, it is not greenish.
04:37And these are some comparison shots with Galaxy S26.
04:41You can see which photo is more attractive in your opinion.
04:45In low light, there is excellent FE images, but one problem is that the bright lights,
04:49like street lights, or neon lights, which are in the shops,
04:52then there is a little struggle with lens flare and overexposed shots.
04:56And this is a little inconsistent, so it is always good for the photo or not, which is a little
05:01annoying.
05:02Also, if it is a little balanced environment, then the images are good.
05:04Like, these are which looks very scenic,
05:07and the lights are very balanced, and the lights are very balanced.
05:11The 3x telephoto camera, by the way, so it is 73mm, you can see it here.
05:16And also, this image is where the lights are better handled in X-100 FE, compared to previous shots.
05:21In X-100 FE, it is very good for the macro shots.
05:24Here, I had coffee under a small yellow light, and the details are very good.
05:28If you can see, there are little bubbles clearly, when under a low light condition.
05:32So, in daylight, there are even better photos.
05:34The selfie camera is auto-focus, so face detection is also very good.
05:39And in group selfies, the colors are also good.
05:41Every human subject, and the details are also good.
05:43As long as light is very good in your face.
05:46Also, there are built-in AI features, which change the scenery.
05:50I don't like this, but this is how it looks.
05:53In some case, this is difficult to explain, that AI has been implemented here.
05:57But in the top right, there is a watermark that has been written on AI.
06:01So, you can tell by that.
06:02Now, if you are talking about telephoto extender, there is a large case,
06:05which can fit a lens in a particular way.
06:08And then, you can see photos of 200mm, 400mm, 800mm and 1600mm,
06:13without losing out on much details.
06:15Also, the maximum is about 5400mm.
06:18Photos are very big.
06:19But here, there is a text that says,
06:21that this two-wheeler parking, which is 800mm,
06:24and the name of the building, which is at 1600mm.
06:28But this telephoto extender is made for a niche audience.
06:31Now, let's take a look on the Vivo X300 FE.
06:36Now, the Vivo X300 FE selfie camera is tested.
06:39We have seen from the shade.
06:41So, you can see how the dynamic range is handled.
06:44And now, the sound of the Vivo X300 FE is directly.
06:47So, there are many cars on the side.
06:49So, you can understand,
06:50how good it is,
06:51how good it is,
06:51how good it is,
06:51how good it is,
06:52how good it is,
06:52how good it is,
06:52how good it is,
06:53how good it is,
06:53how good it is.
06:54So, you can tell us,
06:55if I shoot 4K 60 FPS,
06:58of course,
06:59the selfie camera is max out.
07:02If I shoot 4K 60 FPS,
07:03then I can't switch my camera to the rare camera.
07:07I'm doing it,
07:08because this is not in 4K 60,
07:10but it is 30 FPS.
07:12And it is 1080p,
07:13it is all the FPS.
07:14So, you are stuck with the selfie camera.
07:17But so far,
07:18the selfie camera is good.
07:20I'm handling the light.
07:22So, you can tell me,
07:24there are a lot of cars going around here.
07:26And now,
07:27let's switch to the rare camera.
07:29Let's see,
07:29how good it is.
07:30So, now,
07:31the rear camera camera is shooting at 4K 60 FPS.
07:33The mic is also used to be Vivo X300 FE.
07:36So, you can tell us,
07:37how good it is.
07:39How good it is.
07:40It can shoot at 8K.
07:42And in 4K,
07:43it can also be max out.
07:45It's good at 120 FPS.
07:47The good of this is here.
07:48Just tell us,
07:50how the stabilization looks?
07:51In the comments,
07:52I have a good viewfinder.
07:53The stabilization is good at all.
07:56I think fast and slow,
07:57I'm always looking forward to get well.
07:58But it has a good option at all.
07:59I can't change the resolution to the 1080p
08:00but it can't decrease the resolution.
08:02Now,
08:02I'm going to move this.
08:03So,
08:04you can see stabilization is getting really fast.
08:07I will see the stabilization is actually very good.
08:10and dynamic range
08:11keep the loop
08:14and then
08:16barely seconds
08:19adjusts
08:19this zoom in
08:21up to 3x
08:23and I can go back to
08:281x
08:293x
08:30which is good
08:324k 60fps
08:34this is a selfie camera
08:37and here
08:38I have a light on my face
08:41so that
08:43you know
08:44a little light on my face
08:45because it is a low light situation
08:46and you can see how the quality is coming from the selfie camera
08:51noise
08:52and I see a little bit of stabilisation
08:55and noise is coming from this around
08:58I don't know
09:00after processing
09:01how it is
09:02or how it is
09:15I can switch to 0.8x
09:18and I can switch to 0.8x
09:20and I can switch to 0.8x
09:20if you have a group of friends
09:21you can make it wide
09:231x
09:24and there's 2x also
09:26zooming
09:27but yeah
09:28I can switch to 0.8x
09:31and I can switch to 0.9x
09:55and I can switch to 0.8x
09:58the feature reaches but this is why it is a consistent and reliable shooter in my use case
10:03especially daylight and portrait shots but yes in low light in any scenario this is very important to know
10:11the telephoto extender option is a very good addition but the problem is that it has been made for a
10:15very small audience
10:17and most people wouldn't bother but it's a good thing that it exists because there are some people
10:21who want to take a smartphone photography but they don't want to do so this is a good option
10:27come price for example I don't know about x100 fe launch price but I'm guessing that
10:3175 to 80 thousand around considering all situations but this problem is that the x300
10:37launched a few months ago it's also the same price so I'm confused that how the x300
10:41is going to be positioned and how the x300 fe is going to be positioned you have some ideas and
10:46comment
10:46so what you said about x100 fe camera's performance and overall phone's existence
10:56and I'll see you guys in the next one till then take care bye bye
