vivo has unveiled the X300 Ultra and X300s, two new additions to its acclaimed X300 series that push the boundaries in mobile photography and performance. The vivo X300 Ultra stands as the premium camera flagship, while the vivo X300s bridges the gap between the X300 and the X300 Pro.
Advanced Imaging Refinements
The vivo X300 Ultra refines vivo’s signature three-focal-length camera system, featuring a 14mm ultrawide, 35mm main, and 85mm telephoto lenses.
Its 35mm main camera features a 1/1.12-inch 200MP Sony Lytia 901 sensor paired with an f/1.85 lens using innovative 1G+6P coating to cut reflectivity by 20%. The setup has earned a CIPA 6.5 stabilization rating for professional-grade steadiness. The 85mm telephoto uses a 200MP 1/1.4-inch Samsung ISOCELL HP0 sensor with twice-faster autofocus at 60 updates per second, reduced power draw, and groundbreaking 3° Gimbal-Grade OIS achieving CIPA 7.0 stability. The 14mm ultrawide carries over from the previous generation for consistent wide-angle performance.
As for video, it boasts full-focal-length OIS across all cameras, 3D LUT import support, and multi-focal 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording compatible with ACES pro workflows.
The new Photography App includes a 3D LUT library, while vivo’s updated color science leverages a 50MP True Color Lens with 12 spectral channels for pixel-accurate tones. The Smooth EV dynamic compression preserves highlights in HDR scenes, with customizable filmic or vivid profiles.

The vivo X300 Ultra sports a 6.82-inch Ultra XDR AMOLED display at 3168 x 1440 resolution with adaptive 1-144Hz refresh rate. It ditches the capacitive camera button for a streamlined side profile. It’s Powered by Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 12GB or 16GB of RAM.

vivo X300s
