Bought Vivo X300 Pro offline - turned out great

[Anand]

Hey folks, I was planning to buy the Vivo X300 Pro from Cell Smart Cafe for about 94k. I posted here and many warned me it was a bad deal and suggested I check offline. I'm not a fan of dealing with people and my past offline experiences weren't great, but enough of you pushed me, so I gave it a try.

I visited a few stores and one quoted 92.5k. I was skeptical, kept asking if it was brand new, sealed, unused. They opened the box right in front of me, I matched the IMEI on the box and the phone – everything matched.

Payment was a mess – my UPI hit the limit halfway, so I had to finish the payment from my dad's account. Somehow it went through.

When I got home I expected something to be off, but it was a brand‑new unit, warranty untouched, completely clean.

I was also convinced the camera hype was just sponsored nonsense, but after using it I was wrong. Coming from an S21 + Buds + Watch setup, this really surprised me. I used to stick to Samsung, but that started changing when my OnePlus Buds connected faster than my Galaxy Buds. This just sealed the deal.

Big thanks to u/Eastern-Clock-43, u/Midnight-Compiler, u/Routine-Band-9250, u/Coffee--Enjoyer and u/Zestyclose_Coat434 – you all forced me to step out and it paid off. Saved money and got a legit device.

You could've negotiated for a bigger discount, but enjoy your new phone anyway.

Vijay Sales had it for around 80k with a store discount and a card offer.

Congrats, bro! Just to add, last week my friend and I went phone‑shopping. I almost convinced him to get this one – the shop was asking 88k without any card, and offered about 3k extra off if you used an SBI or ICICI card. In the end he, being an Apple fanboy, went for the iPhone 17 at 88k (no card needed).

How's the camera performance?
