Vivo has finally introduced the X300 Ultra to the global market, a highly anticipated smartphone known for its exceptional camera capabilities. This new model comes equipped with the largest 200MP camera currently available and offers exciting add-on lens options. While the exact pricing details have yet to be confirmed, the 1TB model is expected to carry a hefty price tag compared to other Ultra models.
The X300 Ultra is a powerful device featuring a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, which promises high performance and efficiency. It sports a large 6.82-inch QHD+ OLED display and is powered by a robust 6,600mAh battery, ensuring users have ample power throughout the day. This battery capacity is consistent with the version available in Europe, marking a welcome upgrade over the downgraded X300 Pro. Charging is also rapid, with support for 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.
Camera capabilities are at the forefront of the X300 Ultra, making it a standout option for photography enthusiasts. The main camera is a 200MP 35mm sensor, making it the first smartphone to utilize Sony’s LYT-901 sensor, which is the largest 200MP sensor available. Additionally, it features a 200MP 85mm periscope camera that includes advanced autofocus tracking and enhanced stabilization for capturing stunning shots. Complementing these features is a 50MP ultrawide camera, which is notably larger than the main cameras found in competitors like the Galaxy S26 and OnePlus 15. Furthermore, Vivo has integrated a color-sensing camera for improved color accuracy in photographs.
Taking the photography experience a step further, the X300 Ultra offers optional add-on lenses, including a compact 200mm lens and a significant 400mm telephoto extender. The latter allows for approximately 17x native telephoto zoom and up to 800mm (~33x) lossless-resolution zoom, making it a versatile tool for photographers. These lenses come as part of an optional photography kit that also includes necessary accessories such as a camera case, adapter ring, grip, and shoulder strap.
In terms of camera software, the X300 Ultra introduces new features like custom photographic profiles that can be shared via QR codes, APV codec support, and the ability to capture 4K video at 120fps. Users can also benefit from Film Style capture for Xpan-style video and various audio recording presets, alongside a revamped pro video mode for those looking to take full control of their filming.
Vivo X300 Ultra Pricing and Availability
As for pricing, this remains a key question for potential buyers. Currently, the 1TB variant of the X300 Ultra is listed on Amazon for an eye-catching €1,999. For context, the X300 Pro starts at €1,399 (~$1,651), suggesting the Ultra will likely command a premium price.
To entice early adopters, Vivo is offering attractive pre-order incentives in select European countries, including Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, and Germany. Customers who pre-order by April 23 will receive a free camera rig kit, a one-year screen protection plan, a three-year warranty, and an extended five-year battery warranty. Additionally, these customers will enjoy a 50% discount on the photography kit priced at €599, the €99 camera bag, and the 100W charger. In Spain, pre-order customers will receive a complimentary photography kit, charger, camera bag, and camera rig kit as part of their package.
In conjunction with the X300 Ultra, Vivo also launched the X300 FE, a more affordable variant that features the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chip and slightly less impressive main and ultrawide cameras. Although pricing for the FE model remains unannounced, it is anticipated to be lower than the standard X300, which has a starting price of €1,099 (~$1,296).
