Vivo X300 Ultra: A Videographer-Focused Flagship with Zeiss Optics
Chinese manufacturer Vivo has unveiled the X300 Ultra, marking its first global flagship launch with a strong emphasis on professional-grade video capabilities. Developed in collaboration with Zeiss, the device features a triple prime lens system with 85mm, 35mm, and 14mm equivalent focal lengths, alongside a detachable telephoto extender reaching 400mm. The phone boasts a 200-megapixel telephoto camera with gimbal-grade stabilization and supports 4K 120fps 10-bit log video recording compatible with ACES workflows. To support serious videographers, Vivo partnered with SmallRig to create a dedicated video-rig kit including a cooling fan and physical controls. Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen5 processor and a 6,600mAh battery, the X300 Ultra offers high-end performance and a 144Hz display. While pricing and US availability remain unconfirmed, the phone is scheduled for release in Asia, parts of Europe, and Brazil. This launch positions Vivo against competitors like Oppo and Xiaomi, who are also prioritizing large sensors and cinematic features in their latest devices.
