If you have around Rs 1.3 lakh for a camera phone, this is the fight that matters. The Vivo X300 Pro has spent almost a year proving itself as India’s telephoto king. The Oppo Find X10 arrived in late October with two 200MP sensors and a battery that makes every other flagship look underfed.
Here is the short answer. In this Oppo Find X10 vs Vivo X300 Pro comparison, the Vivo wins for most buyers. Not by a mile. By Rs 20,000, and by a camera system that does more where it counts. But the Oppo wins one round so clearly that battery-first buyers can stop reading here.
The chip surprise: same silicon, new badge
Oppo markets the Find X10’s Dimensity 9600M as next-generation silicon. GizmoChina’s breakdown says otherwise. Same 3nm process, same CPU configuration, same GPU capabilities as the Dimensity 9500 inside the X300 Pro. The 9600M is, for practical purposes, the 9500 with a new name.
That is not a criticism of the chip. The Dimensity 9500 is fast, and both phones will feel quick for years. It is a note on what the extra money does not buy you. The new phone is not faster than the year-old one.
Software splits them more honestly. The Find X10 ships with ColorOS 17 on Android 17, per Oppo’s India listing. The X300 Pro runs OriginOS 6 on Android 16, and Vivo promises five years of OS updates and seven years of security patches, per publicbuy. Oppo gives you the newer Android today. Vivo gives you the longer promise. We saw the same pattern in our OnePlus 15 vs iQOO 15 comparison, where two phones shared a chip tier and the decision came down to everything around the silicon. Performance winner: a draw. Software winner: Oppo for freshness, Vivo for longevity.
Oppo Find X10 vs Vivo X300 Pro: the camera test
This is why both phones exist, and it is closer than the megapixel counts suggest.
The Find X10 carries a 200MP main camera, a 200MP telephoto, a 50MP ultrawide and a 3.2MP multi-spectral sensor, per Digit and Oppo’s listing, with Hasselblad tuning and a 50MP selfie camera. Two 200MP sensors in one phone is a first for this price band, and on a spec sheet it looks unbeatable.
The X300 Pro answers with a 50MP main camera built around Sony’s LYT-828 sensor, a 200MP ZEISS APO telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom, a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP selfie camera, per vivo’s newsroom and 91mobiles. Two 200MP sensors sounds unbeatable until you remember the Vivo’s main sensor is physically larger, and in photography sensor size still beats megapixel count. Vivo also sells a 2.35x telephoto extender kit for Rs 18,999 that stretches the zoom to 8.5x optical, per vivo, turning the phone into a birding tool no rival matches. Our Vivo X300 review of the smaller model found the same 200MP sensor does superb work on portraits and night scenes.
For most buyers, daylight shots from either phone will look superb. The split comes at the long end. If you shoot concerts, wildlife, or your kids on a stage, the Vivo’s telephoto system and extender give you shots the Oppo cannot reach. If you shoot mostly people and food at normal distances, the Oppo’s dual 200MP setup is the simpler story. Camera winner: Vivo, narrowly, on versatility.
The battery is the real story here
Forget the cameras for a minute. This is the round that changes how the phones feel day to day.
The Find X10 carries an 8,000mAh battery in India, per GizmoChina and Cashify, with 80W wired charging, 50W wireless and 10W reverse wireless. The X300 Pro carries a 6,510mAh battery with 90W wired and 40W wireless charging, per vivo’s newsroom and 91mobiles.
That is nearly 1,500mAh of difference. In real use it is the gap between ending the day at 30 percent and reaching for a charger at 7 pm. Vivo charges slightly faster on the wire, 90W against 80W, but charging speed matters less when you rarely run flat. Battery winner: Oppo, clearly, and this is the single biggest practical difference between the two phones.
Screens and the hand feel
The Vivo’s screen is bigger and brighter. A 6.78-inch LTPO AMOLED panel at 1.5K resolution and 120Hz, with peak brightness of 4,500 nits, per TechCabal and publicbuy. The Oppo’s 6.59-inch AMOLED runs up to 144Hz, per Oppo’s India listing, with peak brightness of 3,600 nits, per Digit.
Read that again. The Oppo refreshes faster on paper. The Vivo is brighter and larger. In a shop, brightness is what your eyes actually notice. Outdoors in Indian sunlight, the Vivo’s panel stays readable where the Oppo’s starts to strain.
Size cuts the other way. The X300 Pro is a 226g phone at 7.99mm thick, per publicbuy, and the Find X10’s smaller screen makes it easier to hold one-handed on a crowded bus. Both phones carry IP68 and IP69 ratings, per GizmoChina and vivo, and Oppo adds IP66 to the list. Display winner: Vivo, on brightness and size. Comfort winner: Oppo.
Price is where this actually ends
The Find X10 starts at Rs 1,39,999 for 12GB RAM and 256GB storage, per Digit and Oppo’s listing, with the 512GB model at Rs 1,69,999. The X300 Pro lists at Rs 1,19,999 for 16GB RAM and 512GB storage, per 91mobiles, after a July price hike from its Rs 1,09,999 launch price.
Look at what that buys. At Rs 1,39,999 Oppo gives you 256GB of storage. At Rs 1,19,999 Vivo gives you 512GB. You pay Rs 20,000 more and get half the storage. Street prices narrow the gap without closing it. The Find X10 has been seen at Rs 1,24,749 on Amazon, per DealSpy, while the X300 Pro has dropped to Rs 1,01,599 on Flipkart with offers, per 91mobiles.
Price gaps decide comparisons more often than spec sheets do, as our Pixel 10 vs iPhone 17 comparison showed. Price winner: Vivo, by Rs 20,000 at list and more on the street.
The verdict
Round by round: performance a draw, software split, cameras to Vivo, battery to Oppo, display to Vivo, price to Vivo. The overall winner of this Oppo Find X10 vs Vivo X300 Pro comparison is the Vivo X300 Pro.
Buy the Vivo if photography is the reason you are spending this much, if you want the telephoto reach and the extender option, if 512GB for less money matters, or if you keep phones for four or five years. Buy the Oppo if battery life sits above everything else, if you want the newest launch with Android 17 out of the box, or if Hasselblad colour is what your photos have been missing.
Do not buy the Find X10 if you already own an X300 Pro. Same chip, same class of camera, Rs 20,000 for a bigger battery. And do not buy the X300 Pro if you run your phone flat every day and hate carrying a charger. For everyone else, the year-old phone is still the smarter buy. That says as much about how good the X300 Pro was as it does about the Find X10.
