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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
