Vivo X300 Ultra: The Camera Beast You’ve Been Dreaming Of

Let’s not bury the headline. The Vivo X300 Ultra features what is being called the world’s first dual 200MP camera system — a 200MP primary sensor paired with a 200MP periscope telephoto lens. That’s not a typo. Two 200-megapixel cameras, both engineered in partnership with ZEISS, the legendary German optics brand.

Add a 50MP ultra-wide sensor into the mix, and you have a photography powerhouse that challenges not just other smartphones, but dedicated compact cameras as well. The telephoto comes equipped with gimbal-style optical stabilisation, meaning your night shots and zoom photos will be crisp even when your hands aren’t perfectly steady.

But the camera story does not stop at the phone itself. Vivo is offering the ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra — an optional clip-on accessory that pushes the zoom reach to a 400mm equivalent (4.7x magnification). For wildlife photography, concerts, or sports events, this changes the game entirely. There’s also a lighter 200mm equivalent ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 for more everyday long-range shots.

Power, Display & Battery That Mean Business

Photography aside, the Vivo X300 Ultra is a raw performance machine. It runs on the blazing-fast Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset — Qualcomm’s best silicon of 2026 — paired with a generous 16GB RAM and 1TB of onboard storage. The display is a stunning 6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO OLED panel with a silky 144Hz refresh rate, capable of extraordinary colour accuracy and brightness.

The 6,600mAh battery is another standout figure. With 100W wired fast charging, you can top up from nearly dead to full in under an hour. There’s also 40W wireless charging — a rarity at this capacity. On top of that, the phone carries both IP68 and IP69 ratings, making it resilient against dust, water jets, and accidental drops into puddles.

The software story is strong too. The Vivo X300 Ultra will launch with OriginOS 6 (based on Android 16) and Vivo has committed to 5 years of Android OS upgrades and 7 years of security updates. That is a full-decade-long software promise — rivalling Google and Samsung’s support commitments.

Vivo X300 FE: Compact, Capable, and Deeply Loveable

Not everyone wants a phablet with a professional camera rig. For those who crave power in a pocketable body, the Vivo X300 FE is the answer. At just 7.99mm thin and weighing only 191g, this is the kind of phone you forget is in your pocket — until you need it.

The Vivo X300 FE sports a gorgeous 6.31-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and an eye-watering 5,000 nits of peak brightness. Yes, you read that right. Even in harsh Indian summer sunlight, this screen remains perfectly visible.

📸 Camera System — X300 FE

The camera setup features a 50MP Sony IMX921 primary sensor, a 50MP Sony IMX882 telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, and an 8MP ultra-wide shooter with 110° field of view. Even the 50MP front camera has a wide 92° FOV — perfect for group selfies at family gatherings or solo travel shots. All cameras except the ultra-wide are co-developed with ZEISS.

Powering it all is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor with up to 12GB RAM and 512GB storage. The 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging and bypass charging support ensures your phone stays cool during intense gaming sessions.

Colours, Availability & Expected Pricing

Vivo has always understood that a phone is also a fashion statement. The Vivo X300 Ultra will come in two striking options: Victory Green and Eclipse Black. Both are designed to feel premium in the hand and bold in photos.

The Vivo X300 FE gets three colour choices: Urban Olive (India exclusive!), Lilac Purple, and Noir Black. The Urban Olive is a particularly distinctive, earthy finish that looks refreshingly different from the usual smartphone palette.

On pricing, the Vivo X300 Ultra is expected to start around ₹1,00,000, positioning it firmly in the ultra-premium segment. The Vivo X300 FE is anticipated to be priced between ₹65,000 to ₹75,000 — making it a more accessible but still premium flagship option.

Why This Launch Actually Matters

India’s premium smartphone market has largely been dominated by Apple and Samsung at the top end, with Chinese brands like OnePlus and Xiaomi making inroads in the mid-premium space. The Vivo X300 Ultra is a direct challenge to that hierarchy. A dual 200MP ZEISS camera system, coupled with a decade-long software promise and a modular optics ecosystem, is Vivo saying: “We are ready to play in the big leagues.”

Meanwhile, the Vivo X300 FE fills a gap that many brands have ignored — a genuinely premium compact phone. At under 192g with a 6,500mAh battery and four ZEISS-tuned cameras, it delivers flagship experiences without the ultra-premium price tag.

For the Indian consumer who wants more from their smartphone — more zoom, more battery, more longevity, more camera control — this May 6th launch deserves serious attention.
