Vivo Raises X300 FE Prices Twice Amid Rising Memory Component Costs
Vivo has increased the price of its X300 FE smartphone twice since its May 2026 launch, totaling a Rs 10,000 rise. The latest hike adds Rs 3,000, with the top variant now exceeding Rs 99,000. A rumored new 8GB RAM model is expected to cost Rs 84,999, higher than the original 12GB base model's launch price.
