Vivo Unveils X300 Ultra Flagship Smartphone at MWC

Vivo officially unveiled its upcoming X300 Ultra flagship smartphone at Mobile World Congress (MWC). The device is notable for its impressive camera specifications, including a 200-megapixel telephoto sensor, and a comprehensive range of professional photography and content creation accessories.

This model marks the first time a Vivo Ultra series phone will be available for sale outside China, with a planned release in global markets later this year.

Device Overview and Camera Specifications

The Vivo X300 Ultra is equipped with a 200-megapixel telephoto camera, which includes three degrees of optical image stabilization. While the primary camera sensor's specifications remain unrevealed, it is anticipated to be a key component for video capabilities.

The smartphone is expected to support 4K 120fps Dolby Vision HDR recording and offer Log video shooting with LUT preview and native ACES support. This robust video capability is compatible with professional workflows such as DaVinci Resolve and Final Cut Pro. The device is also anticipated to feature a high-end processor, screen, and battery, though specific details were not disclosed at the event.

Professional Photography Accessories

Vivo introduced several accessories designed to significantly enhance the X300 Ultra's imaging capabilities:

  • Vivo Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra: Co-engineered with Zeiss, this optional lens accessory provides a 400mm equivalent focal length, offering approximately 8x optical zoom along with additional digital zoom. It features gimbal-grade optical image stabilization and motion-tracking focus technology. The camera mount system is compatible with the X200 Pro, allowing previous generation extenders to function.

  • Redesigned Camera Grip Case: This accessory features rearranged physical buttons and no longer includes a cutout for a touch-sensitive shutter button, suggesting its removal from the phone itself.

  • SmallRig Pro-Grade Camera Cage: Developed in collaboration with phone photography accessory manufacturer SmallRig, this expandable cage includes multiple cold shoe mounts and quick-release ports for attaching external handles, lights, and microphones. It incorporates dedicated physical buttons for shutter and zoom controls, a multi-level piezo cooling fan for extended video shoots, and an External Lens Expansion Frame designed for the telephoto extender.

  • Bluetooth Connected Grip Controllers: These controllers were also developed in collaboration with SmallRig.

Market Availability

The Vivo X300 Ultra is slated for release in global markets later in the year, with company executives confirming its availability in all European regions where Vivo currently operates. Pricing information for the X300 Ultra was not disclosed at the event. Its availability in the United States remains unconfirmed.
