TL;DR Vivo X300 Ultra has leaked again, with information about its new 200MP primary camera now available.
The 200MP primary camera is expected to have a 35mm focal length, allowing crisp portraits.
The remaining two cameras are unlikely to change over the previous generation.
If there’s anything Apple and Samsung agree on, it’s that camera hardware doesn’t need to be upgraded every year — or, more like, every four years. I bet Google would join the club, too. On the other hand, Chinese brands have been persistent in pushing past existing boundaries and making seemingly unimaginable changes to existing phone cameras. Last month, we witnessed the camera battleground heat up again with detachable telephoto lenses shipping with the latest OPPO and vivo flagships. And now, the latter is set for another major upgrade ahead of its upcoming top-of-the-line camera monster.
vivo’s upcoming X300 Ultra is slated to be the world’s first phone with dual 200MP cameras. That includes a 200MP primary unit and a 200MP periscopic telephoto. Now, the leaker Digital Chat Station has shared additional information about the dual 200MP setup.

According to the leaker, the primary 200MP camera would stick to a 35mm focal length — just as its predecessor, the vivo X200 Ultra, did with a 50MP camera. Other notable 200MP camera phones, such as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, use a much smaller 23mm focal length.
While the focal length is independent of the sensor’s resolution, the longer distance will result in images with a slightly narrower field of view but a shallower depth, meaning better natural portraits even with the primary camera. With the increased resolution, you can expect much higher image quality, both in portrait mode and otherwise.
