The Vivo X300 Ultra just launched globally, making it Vivo’s first-ever Ultra-series smartphone to go beyond the Chinese market and into international markets (Sounds familiar? That’s because it’s the same situation for OPPO, too).
Coming to Singapore with the Vivo X300 Ultra is its separately sold teleconverter kit, which adds more zoom range to its ZEISS-powered lenses. Before we touch on that, here are the confirmed details of the Vivo X300 Ultra (after months of teasing).
Vivo X300 Ultra and its ZEISS Master Lenses Collection
The Vivo X300 Ultra is a photography-first, premium flagship-grade Android phone, touting a ZEISS Master Lenses Collection for its rear camera modules.

That is the collective name for its 85mm (telephoto), 35mm (main), and 14mm (ultrawide) lenses, and it doesn’t yet include the two teleconverters from its optional Photographer Kit, which consists of the 400mm Vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra and the 200mm Vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2.
Vivo calls the 85mm lens ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera. It’s a 200MP Samsung HP0 sensor with 60FPS AutoFocus tracking to tackle sports, wildlife, and concert photography. Also included is 3° gimbal-level Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) to minimise handheld blur when shooting. The Super Blue Glass lens also comes with ZEISS T* coating to reduce flare.
The main camera is its 35mm ZEISS Documentary Camera. While it’s a traditional range for cameras in general, it’s uncommon among smartphone main cameras, which usually have a 23-28mm zoom range. Inside is a 200MP, 1/1.12-inch Sony LYT-901 sensor (the same sensor as the OPPO Find X9 Ultra’s main camera).
The 14mm ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera has a 1/4.-inch, 50MP Sony LYT-818 sensor with OIS as well.

The two teleconverters support 200MP optical output photos at 35mm, 85mm, 200mm (with the 200mm tele) and 400mm (with the 400mm alternative). They also pack 60FPS AF Tracking to help with its stabilisation and accuracy. Of particular note is the 200mm teleconverter, which is now much lighter at 153g when compared to its 210g predecessor.
Finally, Vivo also added a 5MP Color-Sensing Camera, which is a 12-channel multispectral and flicker sensor that grants additional colour data and spectral detection to hone its light-reading components. Vivo claimed that the colour science is benchmarked against professional cameras.
