Vivo X300 Ultra, Oppo Find X9 Ultra Prices Leaked; Could Be More Expensive Than Xiaomi 17 Ultra The Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra are expected to carry higher price tags than the Xiaomi 17 Ultra due to rising storage costs. A Weibo user has claimed that these upcoming ultra-flagship smartphones will arrive with significantly increased prices compared to the Xiaomi 17 Ultra. The tipster, without explicitly naming the devices, is believed to be referring to the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra. The price increase is attributed to the growing costs of storage components. According to the leak, the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra could cost approximately CNY 500 (around Rs. 6,000) more than the Xiaomi 17 Ultra for the same RAM and storage configuration. The Xiaomi 17 Ultra launched in China with a base price of CNY 6,999 (approximately Rs. 90,000) for the 12GB RAM + 512GB storage variant. Based on the leaked information, the Vivo X300 Ultra is expected to start at around CNY 7,500 (approximately Rs. 1,01,000) for the same storage and memory model. The tipster also noted that the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s initial advantage was largely due to its competitive pricing. However, the CNY 500–700 price increase over the Xiaomi 15 Ultra now appears minor in comparison to the anticipated higher costs of the Vivo X300 Ultra and Oppo Find X9 Ultra. The Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X300s are set to launch in China on March 30, with the latter expected to debut next week. Technical specifications for the Vivo X300 Ultra include a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a high-resolution camera system with multiple megapixel lenses, and a large battery capacity. The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is also rumored to feature advanced hardware, though specific details remain undisclosed.#xiaomi_17_ultra #snapdragon_8_elite_gen_5 #vivo_x300_ultra #oppo_find_x9_ultra #xiaomi_15_ultra
