vivo has taken the wraps off a much deeper look at the vivo X300 Ultra camera system, and the headline is clear: the company is treating this phone like a serious imaging flagship rather than a routine annual refresh. During its X series imaging technology event, vivo described the device as a new kind of “professional V camera” and a pocket photography machine.
According to the details shared by IT Home, the phone uses a “3+2” Zeiss lens setup. The ultra-wide camera is built around Sony’s 1/1.28-inch LYTIA 818 sensor and pairs that hardware with vivo’s third-generation VCS bionic spectrum technology and Zeiss T* coating. vivo says the effective light intake is up 100 percent compared with the previous generation, while stabilization reaches a CIPA 6.0 rating.
The main camera is even more ambitious. vivo says the X300 Ultra is the first phone to use Sony’s LYTIA 901, a 1/1.12-inch 200-megapixel sensor. The company says image quality is stronger than before thanks to a larger effective light-sensitive area per pixel, a 32 percent increase in full-well capacity, Low Noise 4 multi-stage noise reduction, and DCG HDR support. The lens stack also uses a 1G+6P structure, and vivo says reflectivity has been reduced by 20 percent.
Telephoto is another major focus. The phone’s 200-megapixel Zeiss telephoto camera is said to use Samsung’s larger HP0 sensor in a 1/1.4-inch format. vivo claims it is the industry’s first large-sensor gimbal-grade stabilized periscope camera, with a CIPA 7.0 stabilization rating and a 300 percent improvement in equivalent light intake. Pixel size is listed at 0.56μm.
vivo also outlined updates to its add-on optical system. The new G2 Zeiss teleconverter reaches 200mm while becoming smaller and lighter than the previous version, and it uses a 15-element optical design across two groups with Zeiss APO certification. The higher-end G2 Ultra teleconverter stretches that reach to 400mm and adds multiple high-transmittance, ultra-low-dispersion, and aspherical glass elements.
Taken together, the official specification dump shows that vivo is pushing the X300 Ultra as a camera-first flagship with unusually aggressive hardware across ultra-wide, main, and telephoto shooting. The final real-world results will matter more than spec sheets, but on paper this is one of the more ambitious mobile camera packages vivo has announced in a long time.
