Vivo is not playing around anymore. The X300 Ultra arrives with a quad ZEISS camera system featuring two 200MP sensors, a mechanical zoom module, 4K video at 120fps with Dolby Vision, and gimbal-level stabilization. Paired with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, a WQHD+ LTPO display, and a massive 7,000mAh battery, this is one of the most ambitious camera phones ever released.
📸 ZEISS Camera System: Four Lenses, Dual 200MP
The Vivo X300 Ultra's camera system is staggering even on paper. The main shooter uses the Sony LYT-901 sensor at 200MP with a 1/1.12″ size and f/1.69 aperture. Pixel binning at 4x4 produces 12.5MP images with exceptional detail even in challenging lighting conditions.
The 200MP telephoto with Samsung ISOCELL HPB (1/1.4″) is where this phone truly separates itself. It features a mechanical zoom module with continuous optical zoom at 3.7x — an extremely rare feature, as most competitors rely on fixed zoom at two set focal lengths. ZEISS T* coating drastically reduces flares and reflections across all lenses.
The ultrawide camera at 50MP with Sony LYT-828 (1/1.28″) holds its own as one of the largest ultrawide sensors in any smartphone. It also supports macro photography down to 1.5cm — ideal for detailed close-ups of products, flowers, or insects.
🎬 Video: 4K 120fps Dolby Vision
In the video department, the Vivo X300 Ultra sets a new standard. It supports 4K recording at 120fps with Dolby Vision HDR — a capability that until recently was exclusive to professional cinema cameras. The Blueprint Imaging Chip V3+ handles real-time video processing, while the gimbal-level stabilization at 1.5° delivers smooth footage even while moving.
8K recording is also available, though its practical usefulness remains limited due to file sizes. Slow motion reaches 960fps, perfect for creative action shots and cinematic content creation.
⚙️ Processor and Performance
The X300 Ultra runs the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 on a 3nm process, with two cores clocked at 4.61 GHz and six at 3.63 GHz. Paired with 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and 512GB UFS 4.1 storage, performance is exceptional. In AnTuTu v11, it scored 4,010,000 points — one of the highest ever recorded on a smartphone.
The Adreno 840 GPU handles gaming, video rendering, and AI workloads without breaking a sweat, while the cooling system keeps temperatures in check even under sustained load.
🖥️ Display and Design
The X300 Ultra's display is a 6.83″ OLED WQHD+ (1440x3168) panel from BOE, with 1-120Hz LTPO adaptive refresh rate. It supports HDR10+, Dolby Vision, DCI-P3 color gamut, and 10-bit panel depth — top-tier specs for media consumption and photo editing.
The body is crafted from a titanium-aluminum alloy with a glass back, weighing 232g and carrying IP68/IP69 certification. It comes in three colors: black, white, and red. The in-hand feel is premium, though the weight may be noticeable during extended use.
🔋 Battery and Charging
The 7,000mAh Si-Carbon Li-Ion battery is enormous for a smartphone. The 100W wired charging fills it completely in under 35 minutes, while wireless charging reaches 40W. Reverse wireless charging is also supported for accessories.
The bypass charging feature allows direct power delivery from the charger during gaming sessions without stressing the battery — a smart touch for heavy users.
💰 Price and Availability
The Vivo X300 Ultra is currently exclusive to China, running OriginOS 6 (Android 16) without Google Mobile Services. The domestic price starts around €850 for the 16GB/512GB variant.
For import purchases, expect to pay around €900–1,000. For reference, the global Vivo X200 Ultra sells from €924 on Kimovil. If a global version of the X300 Ultra arrives, pricing is expected to settle near €1,000–1,100.
📊 Verdict: The Vivo X300 Ultra is a no-compromise camera phone. Dual 200MP sensors, mechanical zoom, gimbal-level OIS, 4K 120fps Dolby Vision, a massive 7,000mAh battery, and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. If the camera is your number one priority and you don't mind importing, this phone competes fiercely against the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
"Mechanical zoom module with continuous optical zoom — a physical zoom mechanism delivering seamless optical magnification without fixed steps. No other smartphone currently offers this technology."
