If you were just on Google searching for which vivo X300 Pro color is the prettiest, I’ve got to tell you that you’ve come to the right place. I’m here like a friend walking through the mobile market with you, ready to dissect these colors one by one so we can see which one is going to end up in your bag or pocket.
Dune Brown
Let’s start with the vivo X300 Pro Dune Brown. How on earth is this brown? It looks more like coffee with a whole gallon of milk poured into it! Or maybe the color of beach sand. Beige? Cream? Bone? Whatever it is, calling it Brown is a bad joke. It’s like vivo decided to give it a cool name just to make you feel like you’re buying something special. (Though it really is a good phone.)
The surface finish is matte and soft, meaning fingerprints won’t stick around as much. The color is very mild and easy on the eyes, which is perfect for those who don’t like loud and flashy colors. The overall design is minimal and clean, and the vivo logo sits quietly and simply at the bottom.
But here’s the usual suspect! That middle camera moduleā¦ what even is this?! š A giant circle taking up half the back of the phone! Yeah, I know it has Zeiss and the cameras are top-notch, but this size is just way too much.
Mist Blue
Look, in all fairness, unlike Dune Brown, Mist Blue actually matches its name. It literally looks like they left the phone in the freezer overnight and it frosted over with dew!
Mist Blue is one of those colors that looks very calm and chill at first look. It’s a very soft and light blue, giving off more of a morning mist or cloudy sky vibe rather than a deep, intense blue. It gives you a pleasant feeling when you hold the phone. It isn’t one of those electric blues that hurt your eyes, nor a dark, boring blue. It’s like everything about it is calculated and fuss-free.
In daily use, this color has a good point: it doesn’t show fingerprints too badly. But you can’t really slap a black or colored silicone case on a phone with such a delicate color because it completely kills its identity. You’re forced to use a clear case. And well, you and I both know clear cases turn yellow after three or four months! Now imagine the combo of that grimy yellow case with this icy blue. You get a sickly green color! Your phone literally goes from Misty Blue to Swamp Green!
I mentioned this with the previous color, but it’s way worse here! The color contrast between this very light blue and that massive black camera module has reached its absolute peak. It’s like a giant black eye staring right at you. In this color, the camera is no longer a part of the design, but an awkward patch that looks like they glued a paparazzi camera lens onto a piece of ice!
It’s so pale and subtle that after a while it just becomes completely normal to you. I mean, it loses that day one excitement. You might wake up one day six months from now and ask yourself why you bought a white phone. Then you’ll remember, oh wait, this was supposed to be blue on day one!
If you’re a calm and chill person, your desk is always tidy, and you’re looking for an inoffensive color that doesn’t scream for attention, this vivo X300 Pro Mist Blue is right up your alley. But if you like a little excitement, this color will be way too lifeless for you.
Phantom Black
Black is a color you can find on almost every flagship phone, but here vivo has named it Phantom Black, and on the X300 Pro, this black gives off a slightly more serious and formal vibe. The body is designed to be completely simple and matte, which makes the phone look super minimal. When you hold it, it feels like a professional device, not a colorful phone that’s just trying to grab attention.
That giant camera circle that stood out so much in the previous two colors has finally made peace with the background here. There’s no more of that nerve-wracking contrast. The camera module is beautifully camouflaged right into the back panel, giving the phone a special sense of unity and grandeur.
But it’s like dandruff on a black suit! With a camera module this big, the edges are perfectly prone to collecting dust and dirt. Now, this lint and dust wouldn’t show up on a light-colored phone, but on this Phantom Blackā¦ oh boy! You’ll have to clean the edges of the camera every couple of days, otherwise it looks like your phone has dandruff.
It’s also a billboard for grease! Sure, it’s matte and not a glossy black, but if your hands are even slightly greasy or sweaty, fingerprints are going to show up way more on black, or rather on dark colors, than on light ones.
Cloud White
Let’s put the pleasantries aside; it literally looks like someone placed a car tire right in the middle of an expensive china plate. The white is incredibly clean and stylish, but oh man, that camera circleā¦ I said the contrast was high on the cream and blue ones, but here the contrast is through the roof!
White is always the king of hiding fingerprints. No matter how sweaty or greasy your hands are, this color couldn’t care less and keeps its clean look. It’s kind of the most classic and safe choice after black, with the difference being that it stands out in your hand way more than black does.
The same old story with the clear jelly case applies here too. Use it for two months, your case turns yellow, and your phone starts looking like the teeth of a guy who smokes two packs of cigarettes a day! You’ll be forced to use an opaque case, which completely hides the color of your phone. It’ll be like you never even bought the white one!
If you don’t mind that intense contrast, the vivo X300 Pro Cloud White is a great choice. But if you want your phone to look seamless, just go get that Phantom Black.
