TL;DR Vivo has launched the X300 Ultra smartphone in China.
The new phone stands out thanks to a giant 200MP main camera, a large ultrawide camera, and a 200MP 3.5x camera.
Vivo is also offering an optional ~17x external lens, in addition to an ~8.7x add-on lens.
Vivo has teased the X300 Ultra for the better part of a month now, and it looks like the device could raise the bar for smartphone video capture. Now, the phone has launched in China, and a global launch is on the cards too.

The X300 Ultra is positioned as a camera phone that could take the fight to iPhones for video capture. However, the core specs are pretty impressive too. Expect a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB to 16GB of RAM, 256GB to 1TB of storage, and a 144Hz OLED screen (3,168 x 1,440). The phone also has a 6,600mAh battery, and vivo confirmed to Android Authority that European variants will retain this capacity. That’s a welcome change from the X300 Pro, which had a 6,510mAh battery in China but a 5,440mAh battery in most EMEA markets. Otherwise, you can take advantage of 100W wired or 40W wireless charging.
