Vivo G3 5G Launched With Dimensity 6300, 6000mAh Battery, Price, and Specifications
The Vivo G3 5G has indeed been launched, but it's currently available only in China, and it’s packing a punch where it counts, thanks to that Dimensity 6300 processor and an absolute monster of a 6,000mAh battery. Honestly, I haven’t seen a battery this size in ages, and the thought of not frantically searching for a charger every evening is, well, kind of exciting.
So, what’s the scoop? The G3 5G just launched in China, mainly targeting offline buyers, but its specs and price make it a pretty compelling option even if you typically scoff at budget phones.
Let’s unpack the essentials:
-
Processor: MediaTek Dimensity 6300. Feels snappy for everyday use, social apps, and even a bit of gaming. Not the flagship, but it’s more than enough for binging YouTube shorts or scrolling through feeds when you should be working.
-
Battery: 6,000mAh. (No, that is not a typo.) Plus, it supports 44W fast charging, so you’ll spend more time playing, less waiting, perfect for road trips or marathon texting sessions. Vivo claims five years of good battery health. I’d love to report back in half a decade, but for now, fingers crossed.
-
Display: 6.74-inch LCD, 90Hz refresh rate. Big and silky for the price, great for late-night doomscrolls or quick Netflix snacks.
Price, Colors & Storage: Because Details Matter
The G3 5G is available in “Diamond Black” because phones in black are just objectively cooler, right? There’s something about that understated shade that looks good in every setting, even with a few fingerprints smudges here and there.
Price:
-
6GB RAM + 128GB storage: CNY 1,499 (roughly $210)
-
8GB RAM + 256GB storage: CNY 1,999 (around $280)
Not bad, honestly, especially for the beefy battery and generous storage.
My take? If you’re deciding between variants, 8GB RAM is neat for multitasking, but 6GB will do the job for most users. I still remember upgrading from 4GB RAM felt like my apps finally stopped sighing.
Camera Stuff:
The camera setup is, let’s be honest, pretty modestbut that’s the vibe here. 13MP on the back, 5MP selfie up front. These won’t win photography awards, but they make for reliable snapshots of random street food or sleepy pets sprawled out on your couch. It’s all about function, not fireworks, and that’s perfectly okay at this price point.
Software & Feel:
The G3 5G runs OriginOS 5 (based on Android 15), so you’ll get the latest features out of the box, minus bloat (mostly). I like Vivo’s take on Android; it’s clean and has thoughtful touches here and there. Plus, there’s a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a subtle source of daily joy for fidgety thumbs like mine.
IP64 rating, 204g weight, dual-SIM, 3.5mm jack (don’t throw away your wired headphones yet), USB-C, Bluetooth 5.4, IR blaster, yup, all those little things that make a phone genuinely usable.
