vivo X300 Ultra’s Battery and Charging Speeds leaked Ahead of Launch
While it is clear that the launch will not happen this year, vivo is clearing the last hurdles before making the X300 Ultra official. The phone, listed as model V2536A, has just been certified in China with support for 100W fast charging.
The certification confirms 100W USB PPS charging, rated at 20V at 5A. This will enable fast charging performance on par with vivo’s own FlashCharge system.
A recent leak claims that the vivo X300 Ultra will feature a large 7,000mAh battery.
The X200 Ultra had a 6,000mAh battery with 90W wired charging and 40W wireless charging.
The current vivo X300 Pro is equipped with a 6,510mAh battery in China, while the global version uses a smaller 5,440mAh battery.
A similar difference in capacity might apply to the global X300 Ultra as well, although there are no details yet. The vivo X300 Ultra is expected to be available globally.
The phone will use two 200MP sensors:
- A large 1/1.12-inch sensor for the main camera
- A 1/1.4-inch sensor for the telephoto camera
It will also include a 50MP ultra-wide camera with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, which is larger than the main camera sensors on some recent flagships.
Unlike its X300 siblings, the Ultra is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 instead of the Dimensity 9500.
The vivo X300 Ultra is expected to launch around the end of Q1 next year. The X200 Ultra launched in April, and the X300 Ultra is likely to follow a similar timeline.

Realme 16 Pro Teaser Confirms Periscope Camera, Snapdragon Chip and Big Battery
The official launch date for the Realme 16 Pro series is still listed as “coming soon”, but Realme is increasing its teaser campaign. The Realme India online store already hosts a landing page for the upcoming phone, revealing several key details.
Camera
The teaser confirms earlier Periscope camera rumors. It shows 1x, 3.5x, and 10x magnification options. This suggests 3.5x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom, although that is not explicitly stated.
For comparison, the Realme 15 Pro did not have a telephoto camera at all, while the Realme 14 Pro+ featured a 3x, 73mm periscope camera.
Performance
The Realme 16 Pro will use a Snapdragon chipset. These models usually ship with a Snapdragon 7‑series chip. However, the teaser indicates that the Realme 16 Pro will use something more performant than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, which powered the Realme 15 Pro.
There is currently no Snapdragon 7 Gen 5 or 7+ Gen 4, so it is unclear which exact Snapdragon processor will be used.
Battery
The teaser also highlights a long-lasting battery. While it does not directly state the exact capacity, it suggests a capacity higher than 6,500 mAh. The teaser itself is vague on the figure.
Unofficially, 7,000 mAh is the number that has been mentioned so far, but this remains unconfirmed.
Rumors for the Chinese Variant
The Chinese variant of the Realme 16 Pro is rumored to have a 6.78-inch OLED display and a 200 MP main camera. It is not yet clear whether these specifications will apply to the Realme 16 Pro sold in India. These details are based on rumors and are not part of the official teaser.
The teaser confirms that the Realme 16 Pro will launch with Android 16. Realme will provide 3 years of OS updates and an additional year of security patches for the device.
Possible Launch Date
According to unconfirmed leaks, the Realme 16 Pro will arrive in India on January 6. The company has not yet officially announced the launch date. No update on the wider rollout of the device has been announced.
