In my decade of covering the smartphone beat, I’ve seen the “Fan Edition” moniker used far too often to justify stripped-back specs. But with the upcoming Vivo X300 FE, Vivo is flipping the script. Instead of a watered-down flagship, we’re looking at a modular photography powerhouse.

We’ve got an early look of the device and its headline-grabbing Zeiss lens attachment, and it’s clear that Vivo is no longer playing it safe with its “entry-level” flagship models. These set of images show the X300 FE in green color (which is exclusive to India), along with the attachment case and the lens.

The Zeiss Edge

The standout feature is undoubtedly the modular camera system. Similar to its more expensive siblings, the X300 FE supports external Zeiss lens attachments. From the hand-on images, the build quality feels remarkably premium, snapping onto the rear camera housing with satisfying precision. It’s a bold move that brings professional-grade glass to a much wider audience.
