Vivo X300 FE gets new Rs 79,999 base variant with 8GB RAM

The Story in Brief
Vivo India has launched the X300 FE in a new 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant priced at Rs 79,999, replacing the 12GB + 256GB model as the base option. The variant is available on Amazon, Flipkart, and Vivo's online store. This launch comes a day after Vivo raised prices of existing 12GB RAM variants by Rs 10,000.
The company attributes the hike to rising costs of DRAM and NAND chips, with supply being diverted to AI firms, as reported by Times Now News. The X300 FE originally launched in May 2026 with a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip, 50MP triple cameras including a periscope lens, and a 6500mAh battery with 90W wired charging.
The Indian Opinion
Memory component prices are rising globally, and Vivo is passing on the cost. The narrative that this is a Vivo-specific problem is misleading, every brand from Xiaomi to Samsung is hiking prices. What matters is what you get for the money: the X300 FE still packs a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip and a 50MP periscope lens. The real test will be whether competition like OnePlus or Realme holds the line on pricing, or follows suit within the next quarter.
