Vivo has just launched the X300 series, and these are the first phones with MediaTek’s new Dimensity 9500 processor. MediaTek promises some notable horsepower and efficiency gains for this chipset, but what’s it like in a real-world phone? I put our X300 Pro review unit through a series of benchmark tests, and the results are quite disappointing.
I need to preface this by saying that vivo has consistently been one of the most disappointing brands when it comes to benchmark tests, particularly stress testing. We saw this play out with the X200 Pro, while the identically equipped OPPO Find X8 Pro fared much better. Nevertheless, we’ll let the figures do the talking here.
