The verdict, up front

The compact 200-megapixel flagship.

X300 squeezes a 200 MP HP9 main, a 3× telephoto, Zeiss optics and 6,040 mAh into a 190 g shell — the most camera-capable compact Android of 2025. Against OnePlus 13T (smaller battery, no telephoto) and Find X9 (larger body, lower-MP main), it is the photography pick of the compact tier.

What works
  • 200 MP HP9 + 3× tele in a 190 g body.
  • Compact 6.31" flagship.
  • Zeiss colour science.
  • 6,040 mAh exceptional at this size.
What doesn't
  • X300 Pro has a 200 MP periscope.
  • OriginOS 6 still bloat-heavy.
  • No telephoto reach beyond 3×.
  • 4-year OS limit.
