Logitech Brio vs Brio 300 - Where are the differences?

Let's take a closer look at the differences between the two webcams Brio* and Brio 300* from Logitech. The newer model of the two is the Logitech Brio 300. The device is from the year 2023. The year of release of the Logitech Brio is 2017.

Which webcam has the higher resolution?

The resolution is one of the most important factors for a webcam and therefore elementary for the purchase decision. The two webcams Logitech Brio and Logitech Brio 300 do not differ at this point. Both provide a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 px (4K). The resolution and frame rate factors are often also a reason why an external webcam is worthwhile. With most built-in webcams in notebooks, the resolution and frame rate is quite low.

Which webcam gives the better frame rate?

This brings us to the next important factor: the frame rate, or fps (frames per second). This specification describes how many frames per second can be recorded and played back. The higher the value, the smoother the picture runs.

The maximum framerate is higher for the Logitech Brio with 60 fps. For the Logitech Brio 300 the value is 30 fps.

However, the frame rate often varies depending on the resolution. Some devices have a higher framerate at a lower resolution. This is also the case here. At the top of the table you can find the resolutions with the corresponding framerate.

If a resolution of 1080p is chosen, the framerate of the two webcams will differ. In comparison, the Logitech Brio* offers more here. It has a frame rate of 60 fps. The Logitech Brio 300 has a frame rate of 30 fps.

There is a difference in 720p resolution. The Logitech Brio* offers 90 fps at this resolution. Thus, the webcam performs better in comparison than the Logitech Brio 300 with a frame rate of 30 fps.

Field of view

The larger the field of view, the more of the environment a webcam can capture. However, a larger field of view is not necessarily better, as it can also capture more privacy. This is where the two webcams differed. The maximum field of view of the Logitech Brio is larger with 90 ° in comparison. The Logitech Brio 300 has a maximum field of view of 70 °. The Logitech Brio* has the advantage that the viewing area can be adjusted. This of course gives more flexibility in the application.

Is there a microphone installed?

With most webcams, there is an integrated microphone. For streaming or when no headset is available, this is beneficial. Both the Logitech Brio and the Logitech Brio 300 offer an integrated microphone. In both cases, it is an recording.

Is there a tripod?

Only with the Logitech Brio* you have the possibility to attach a tripod. With the Logitech Brio 300 you cannot do this by default. A tripod is interesting if the webcam cannot be attached directly to the screen or notebook. A tripod is also interesting for live streams.
