Early Images Reveal Real-World Design Details
Hands-on photos of actual U.S. retail units of the Vivo X300 FE have started to circulate, giving consumers a clearer view of the device beyond renderings and spec sheets. These images offer a glimpse into the precise build quality, materials, finish, and design details that will matter most in everyday use. For potential buyers, these leaked photos help assess whether the phone lives up to the premium appearance Vivo has promised.
The first thing many users noticed is the back panel finish. The U.S. units appear to feature a matte or frosted glass texture, which helps reduce fingerprints and smudges compared to glossy finishes. The camera module looks integrated rather elegantly, with clean edges and a consistent layout. The frame seems to be metallic or metal-like with polished edges that catch light nicely, giving a premium feel in hand.
On the front, the display looks well-aligned with minimal bezel around the edges. The screen appears flat or very modestly curved, and the bezels on top and bottom are small enough that content feels immersive. The front camera punch-hole or notch design is subtle, not drawing undue attention away from the screen. Users observing the photos comment on how slim and compact the phone seems in hand, especially compared to some bulkier competitors.
Buttons, ports, and other hardware details also become more visible in the leaked images. The power button and volume rocker appear solid and clicky, placed for easy reach when holding the phone. The SIM tray is visible, showing support for a physical SIM—though there’s still no clear visual proof of an eSIM slot or indication in the hardware. The USB-C port is centered and finished well. Minor design touches like antenna lines or subtle curves around the edges highlight Vivo’s attention to detail.
Color options in the leaked units seem restrained, likely focused on classic tones. At least one unit appears in a light silver or pearl shade, with others possibly in muted grey or black. The color finish appears consistent around the edges, and transitions between front glass, frame, and back finish look clean. Finish quality in the photos suggests tight tolerances and good fit and finish.
Overall impression from these hands-on photos is positive. The Vivo X300 FE in its U.S. retail form appears to deliver on the elegance Vivo promised. Where design usually strays in production—in alignment, finish, materials, bezel spacing—this model seems carefully executed. For buyers who value how a phone looks and feels in hand, these images build confidence that the X300 FE will offer a premium experience, not just on paper but in real life.
As this device rolls out more widely in the United States, more detailed images and user-shared photos will likely confirm or clarify some of the subtler design elements. But for now, the hands-on photos from retail units suggest Vivo has succeeded in making the X300 FE both visually striking and solidly built for the customer who sees design as a major selling point.
