Vivo is getting ready to unveil its next camera-focused flagship, the X300 Ultra, and most of the details are already starting to fall into place. The phone is set to launch on March 30 alongside the more compact X300s, and going by the latest leaks, Vivo is clearly doubling down on photography this year.
Design-wise, the X300 Ultra doesn’t look like a major departure from previous X-series models, but the color options, based on leaked renders, help it stand out. The three variants include a soft green with a dual-tone finish, a clean matte black, and a white option with a similar two-tone look. The design still leans heavily on that large circular camera module at the back, which has pretty much become a signature for Vivo’s flagship line.
The camera setup is where things get interesting. The phone is expected to feature two 200MP sensors, which is unusual even by current flagship standards. The main camera uses Sony’s LYT901 sensor with a 35mm focal length, while the periscope telephoto relies on Samsung’s HP0 sensor with an 85mm focal length. There’s also a 50MP ultrawide camera based on Sony’s LYT818. On paper, it’s a very flexible setup, covering everything from standard shots to longer zoom ranges.
Vivo is also said to be introducing optional ZEISS teleconverter attachments, extending zoom to 200mm and even 400mm. It’s a niche feature, sure, but it shows how far the company is pushing the camera angle here. There’s even talk of a bundled kit with a grip and extra accessories for users who want a more camera-like experience.
Performance shouldn’t be a concern either. A prototype has already shown up on Geekbench with scores that line up with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip. The phone is expected to come with up to 16GB RAM and run Android 16 with OriginOS 6.
With the launch just around the corner, the X300 Ultra looks less like a typical upgrade and more like a focused attempt to stand out through imaging.
