Wednesday, 15 April 2026 at 18:10

The vivo X300 Ultra has officially made its global debut, representing a significant leap in mobile photography through a deep partnership with ZEISS. Designed as a professional creative powerhouse, the flagship device introduces the ZEISS Master Lenses Collection, offering a comprehensive imaging system that bridges the gap between smartphones and professional cameras. By integrating advanced optical engineering with cutting-edge computational photography, vivo aims to provide creators with unprecedented freedom in both still photography and cinematic video.

Summary

ZEISS Master Lenses Collection: Includes 85 mm, 35 mm, and 14 mm prime-grade cameras for professional versatility.
Revolutionary Telephoto Power: Supports a 400 mm equivalent focal length via the new Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra.
Cinematic Video Ecosystem: Features 4K 120 fps 10-bit Log recording across all rear cameras with ACES workflow compatibility.
Flagship Performance: Powered by the Snapdragon® 8 Elite Gen 5 and a massive 6600 mAh BlueVolt battery.
Professional Aesthetics: Features a classic camera-inspired design with a 6.82-inch 2K ZEISS Master Color Display.

The heart of the X300 Ultra's appeal lies in its sophisticated triple-camera array. The 85 mm Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera uses a 200 MP sensor to capture immense detail, supported by gimbal-level stabilization to ensure sharp handheld shots even at extreme zoom levels. For those needing even more reach, the device debuts the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra, which achieves a 400 mm equivalent optical focal length. Complementing the telephoto prowess are a 35 mm Documentary Camera with a large Sony LYTΙΑ 901 sensor and a 14 mm Ultra Wide-Angle lens designed to eliminate traditional distortion compromises.

Beyond hardware, the X300 Ultra introduces an all-new Color Science system. Utilizing a 5MP Multispectral Sensor with 12 color channels, the device performs per-pixel spectral detection to accurately render light and shadow. This system is benchmarked against professional cameras to deliver "Refined Color," which emphasizes rich, layered depth over simple vividness. For video professionals, the inclusion of a 4K 120 fps 10-bit Log Video pipeline and a Pro Video Mode with custom 3D LUT previews allows the smartphone to fit seamlessly into high-end production workflows.
