Vivo’s Galaxy S26 Ultra competitor is all but confirmed to get a global release

Vivo launched the X300 series a few months ago, and we’re still eagerly anticipating the release of the Vivo X300 Ultra. Although there’s no official information available, a new leak suggests that it may launch internationally.

Vivo X300 Ultra has received a European certification

A Vivo smartphone with model number V2562 has been certified by the EEC authority. That listing, spotted by Anvin on X, is most likely for the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra, which has also appeared in the IMEI database before.

With the new listing, the earlier rumors for an international launch of Vivo’s new Ultra flagship are all but confirmed. That would be a departure from the company’s approach with the fantastic Vivo X200 Ultra.

Ultra competition

We still haven’t heard any official details about the Vivo X300 Ultra, but if the rumors about it are true, it may be one of the most exciting Ultra flagships this season. The device is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 6.8-inch 2K display, and a 7,000 mAh battery.

More importantly, that could be the first smartphone with two 200MP camera sensors, one for the main camera and another for the periscope telephoto shooter. The ultra-wide and selfie cameras may both feature 50MP sensors.

Vivo is expected to launch the X300 Ultra in China in the coming weeks, followed by an international premiere in February or March. Considering the latest certification, the device may launch in Europe, but it’s unlikely to land in the US, which is good news for Samsung.
