The 12GB + 512GB model has also gone up, now priced at ₹99,999.
This follows a previous hike in July, when the same variants were listed at ₹86,999 and ₹96,999 respectively.
At launch in May, the X300 FE was introduced at ₹79,999 for the base model and ₹89,999 for the higher storage option.
With the latest increase, the base variant costs ₹10,000 more than its original price, with no changes to the hardware.

Interested buyers may want to check Amazon before the price is updated there as well.
New cheaper variant and X300 status
Vivo is reportedly planning to add an 8GB + 256GB option at ₹84,999, which would become the most affordable way to enter the X300 FE lineup.
Meanwhile, the standard Vivo X300 appears to have been discontinued in India.
It launched in December at ₹75,999 but has been out of stock on major platforms for weeks, with no signs of restocking.

The X300 FE features a 6.31-inch LTPO AMOLED display with 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and peak brightness up to 5,000 nits.
It is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, paired with LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 4.1 storage.
The device packs a 6,500mAh battery with support for 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.
With the price increase, Vivo no longer offers a flagship option below ₹80,000 in this segment.
