Smartphone maker Vivo has expanded its premium smartphone lineup with a new 8GB RAM + 256GB storage variant of the Vivo X300 FE.
This new option could be useful for users who want more storage but do not want to pay the higher price of the 12GB RAM model.
The Vivo X300 FE was initially launched in India with a single 12GB RAM + 256GB storage configuration.
At the time of launch, the phone was priced at ₹79,999. However, Vivo has recently increased its price, and the phone now starts at ₹89,999.
Why Is the New 8GB+256GB Variant Special?
The new 8GB+256GB variant gives customers another option. It comes with less RAM than the 12GB model, but the storage capacity remains the same at 256GB.
This could make the new variant a better choice for users who need plenty of storage for photos, videos, apps, and other files. At the same time, users can avoid paying the premium price for the 12GB RAM version.
Vivo X300 FE Price Has Increased
The Vivo X300 FE is positioned as a compact premium smartphone. It comes with high-end hardware and focuses strongly on the camera experience.
Its key features include a compact design, premium build, and advanced camera system.
The price of the existing 12GB+256GB model was recently increased by ₹3,000. According to reports, the new price came into effect on August 10, taking the starting price of the X300 FE to ₹89,999.
This Is the Second Price Increase
The recent price hike is not the first price change for the Vivo X300 FE. Vivo had already increased the phone’s price after its launch.
Following the latest increase, the smartphone is now significantly more expensive than its original launch price.
Some reports suggest that after the second price increase, the total difference from the launch price has reached ₹10,000.
In this situation, the new 8GB+256GB variant could become an important option for buyers. It gives Vivo the flexibility to offer the X300 FE at a different price level while keeping the 256GB storage option.
Who Should Buy the New Model?
The new 8GB+256GB variant could be a good choice for users who care more about 256GB storage, premium design, and camera features than having the maximum amount of RAM.
On the other hand, users who regularly run many apps at the same time, perform heavy multitasking, or plan to use the phone for a long period may find the 12GB RAM model more suitable.
