Vivo X300 FE gets second price hike in India
Vivo makes smartphones that are sold all over the world.
One of its phones is called the X300 FE.
The X300 FE is sold in India, where its price has gone up twice.
When it first came out, one version of the phone cost Rs 79,999.
Now, the same phone costs Rs 89,999.
That means buyers have to pay Rs 10,000 more than before.
A bigger version with more storage now costs Rs 99,999, which is almost Rs 1 lakh.
Vivo also added a new version that costs Rs 84,999.
This new version is cheaper than the other two, but it still costs more than the original phone did at launch.
The phone has a fast screen, a big battery, and good cameras, but people are wondering if it is worth the higher price.
Vivo has raised X300 FE prices in India a second time, adding Rs 3,000 on top of an earlier Rs 7,000 hike.
The 12GB+256GB variant now costs Rs 89,999, making the base model Rs 10,000 costlier than its Rs 79,999 launch price.
The 12GB+512GB top variant now costs Rs 99,999, just Rs 1,000 short of the Rs 1 lakh mark.
Vivo added a new 8GB+256GB variant priced at Rs 84,999, which is Rs 5,000 less than the 12GB+256GB model but still Rs 5,000 above the original base price.
The phone features a 6.31-inch 120Hz display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, 6,500mAh battery, and a ZEISS 50MP main and telephoto camera setup.
The X300 FE has moved firmly into India's premium smartphone segment, leaving buyers to judge whether its specifications justify the higher price.
