Vivo X300 Pro launches with an Ultra-rivaling camera, setting a new benchmark for smartphone photography in 2025. The phone, alongside the more affordable X300, brings flagship imaging power closer to mainstream users — and both even support the snap-on telephoto extender lens first introduced with the Vivo X200 Ultra.
A Flagship Built For Camera Lovers
Cameras take center stage once again for Vivo, and the X300 Pro proves it. Both the X300 and X300 Pro feature Zeiss-branded optics, continuing Vivo’s long-standing partnership with the lens maker. The Pro’s camera system looks every bit as capable as the company’s high-end Ultra model, blending cutting-edge sensors with refined imaging algorithms.
Next-Gen 200MP Sensor Co-Developed With Samsung
At the heart of the X300 Pro’s camera setup is a 200MP HPB imaging sensor, co-engineered with Samsung. This advanced sensor powers the phone’s 85mm-equivalent telephoto lens, delivering incredible detail and clarity — even from a distance. The setup mirrors the telephoto excellence of the X200 Ultra, though with a slightly slower f/2.67 aperture.
Meanwhile, the main camera features Sony’s LYT-828 sensor, the successor to the one used in the Ultra. With a faster aperture and improved light handling, it promises even better low-light performance and richer color reproduction.
High-End Videography And Pro-Level Versatility
Vivo didn’t just stop at photography. All three rear cameras on the X300 Pro support 4K, 120fps, and 10-bit Log video recording, offering creators cinematic flexibility right from their pocket. The only notable downgrade from the Ultra lies in the ultrawide lens, which uses a smaller sensor — but for most users, the difference will be minor unless shooting in very low light.
A Bridge Between Ultra And Flagship
By supporting the same snap-on telephoto extender lens as the X200 Ultra, the Vivo X300 Pro effectively blurs the line between flagship and Ultra-tier performance. This move reflects Vivo’s strategy to make its advanced imaging technology accessible to more users while retaining the premium Zeiss co-branding and design finesse.
The Vivo X300 Pro feels like a statement from the company — proof that Ultra-level performance doesn’t have to come at Ultra-level prices. With its Ultra-rivaling camera, powerful sensors, and professional-grade video features, it’s one of 2025’s most exciting smartphone launches for photography enthusiasts.
