A few months ago, I became the owner of the vivo X300. I got the base model of the series and didn’t regret it. But the vivo X300 Ultra smartphone is a completely different level. One of the top camera phones of 2026 with two 200 MP modules, detachable lenses, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. There’s only one question: when will it appear in Russia and how much will it cost.

Will the vivo X300 Ultra Be Available in Russia
In short — yes, and the probability is very high. vivo is actively developing this direction, and the vivo X300 Ultra in Russia will appear not as a gray import, but as an official model. There are several confirmations of this.
vivo is consistently bringing the entire X300 lineup to Russia.
First, from April 24 to 26, 2026, Moscow hosted the “Threads of Cultures. In Focus: vivo” exhibition, where the company’s Russian division presented the vivo X300 Ultra phone to a wide audience for the first time. Visitors could hold it and test it in person. Showcasing a device at an exhibition in Russia without sales plans would be illogical.

Second, the vivo X300 Ultra presentation in Russia fits into the brand’s established tradition. The X300 series is represented on the Russian market consistently and fully:
- vivo X300 FE: the affordable version of the series, already officially on sale;
- vivo X300: the base model, which I use myself, officially available in Russia;
- vivo X300 Pro: the senior version with more powerful cameras, also available in official retail.
The logic of the series speaks for itself. Ultra is the next step, and vivo wouldn’t skip it in the Russian market.
Specifications of the Global Version of vivo X300 Ultra
Before talking about the price and date, it’s worth understanding what exactly will arrive in Russia. The specifications of the global version of vivo X300 Ultra differ from the Chinese variant in one important aspect: the camera block won’t have a ZEISS badge. In the Chinese and European versions it’s there, in the Russian one — it’s not. This doesn’t affect actual photo quality, but for those who value the status marker on the body, it’s worth noting. Otherwise, the vivo X300 Ultra specifications for the Russian market will match the global variant. Here’s the full table:
| Specifications | vivo X300 Ultra |
|---|---|
| Display | 6.82 inches, AMOLED (3168×1440), 1-144 Hz |
| Main Camera | 200 (OIS) + 50 (OIS) + 200 (OIS) + 5 MP |
| Front Camera | 50 MP |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 |
| Memory | 16/1024 GB |
| Battery | 6600 mAh |
| Charging | 100W (wired) 40W (wireless) |
A few words about what’s behind these numbers. The main camera is a 200 MP Sony LYTIA 901 with a 1/1.12″ sensor and CIPA 6.5 optical stabilization. The ultra-wide is a 50 MP Sony LYT-818, 123-degree capture angle with OIS. The periscope is another 200 MP on Samsung HP0 with 3.7x optical zoom and CIPA 7 stabilization. Plus a 5-megapixel multispectral sensor for accurate color reproduction.
A professional photo kit will be offered alongside the smartphone. Image: vivo
A separate story is the photo kit. vivo offers detachable lenses with focal lengths of 200 and 400 mm that attach to the camera block. This is already semi-professional photography territory, not just “a good mobile photographer.” IP68/IP69 water resistance, ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, stereo speakers with LDAC and LHDC 5.0. In short, the complete flagship package.
When Will the vivo X300 Ultra Launch in Russia
There’s no exact official date yet. But there’s a logic of events that allows for well-founded predictions. The vivo X300 Ultra release date in Russia is most likely tied to May 6, 2026 — that’s the day vivo plans the official announcement of the smartphone in the Indian market. This is a common practice: launching in several markets simultaneously or within one to two weeks.
May 6 is the most likely launch date for the vivo X300 Ultra in Russia.
The global version was unveiled on April 16 and has already gone on sale in several European countries. Our country traditionally follows in parallel with the global launch or with a minimal delay of 2-4 weeks. The vivo X300 Ultra sales launch in Russia can realistically be expected in early May — approximately after May 6, although there has been no official confirmation of the date yet.
Price of vivo X300 Ultra in Russia
This is where it gets most painful. The price of the vivo X300 Ultra in Russia is expected to be around 150,000 rubles. This is the official retail price for the only configuration of 16/1024 GB. For comparison: the base vivo X300 costs around 50,000 rubles, meaning the Ultra will cost almost three times more.
But on AliExpress the price is more than reasonable
You can buy the vivo X300 Ultra for less if you order the Chinese version from AliExpress. There the smartphone is available for approximately 80,000 rubles at the current exchange rate. The difference from the official price is 70,000 rubles, which is significant. But there are nuances worth knowing in advance:
- Chinese OriginOS firmware;
- some Russian banking apps may work unstably;
- warranty only covers China;
- the camera block has a ZEISS badge, which won’t be on the Russian version;
- the Chinese LTE band configuration may not support all frequencies of Russian carriers.
Buying the vivo X300 Ultra in Russia at the official price guarantees full functionality with all Russian services and official support.
