Vivo X300 Ultra is the first smartphone with an optional ZEISS 400 mm teleconverter, dual 200 MP sensor, and gimbal-level OIS stabilization (CIPA 7.0). Battery up to 7000 mAh, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and a 2K 144 Hz display housed in a body just 8.19 mm thick. The launch in China is set for March 30, 2026, with global availability in Q2 2026.
This is a breakthrough moment for Vivo — for the first time, the Ultra variant will reach global markets, including Europe. The new flagship Vivo was showcased at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, where the most impressive were the photography accessories: the 400 mm teleconverter and a professional video cage created in collaboration with SmallRig.

ZEISS Camera — dual 200 MP and 400 mm teleconverter
Source: Vivo / GSMArena
The Vivo X300 Ultra camera system is the result of years of collaboration with ZEISS. Three lenses cover a focal length range from 14 mm to 85 mm, and the optional teleconverter extends it to 400 mm — which means 17.4x optical zoom at full 200 MP resolution.
The main sensor 200 MP Sony LYT-901 (1/1.12″) is the same unit found in the OPPO Find X9 Ultra, but Vivo has used a 35 mm focal length instead of 23 mm — classic for street and portrait photography. OIS stabilization reaches a level of CIPA 7.0, which Vivo describes as “close to a gimbal.”
The telephoto lens 200 MP Samsung HP0 (1/1.4″) with a 3.7x periscope and ZEISS APO certification provides native zoom at 85 mm. It is one of the largest telephoto sensors in a smartphone — for comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has 50 MP in its telephoto lens.
In addition, Vivo has implemented:
- ZEISS T coating* — reduction of flares and reflections on the main lens
- ZEISS APO certification — minimization of chromatic aberration in the telephoto lens
- 3rd generation multispectral VCS sensor (5 MP) — color correction between lenses
- 8K recording at 30 fps and 4K at 120 fps in Dolby Vision on all cameras
- Four microphone system — professional sound quality in video
ZEISS 400 mm Teleconverter — a unique accessory
The biggest distinguishing feature of the Vivo X300 Ultra is the optional ZEISS “Big Gun 400” teleconverter — sold separately. Magnetically attached to the phone, it provides a focal length of 400 mm (17.4x optical zoom) at full 200 MP resolution. By cropping the image from the sensor, you can achieve 800 mm, and digitally even 1600 mm with acceptable quality. Stabilization maintains a CIPA level of 4.5 even at extreme zoom.
Tip: The 400 mm teleconverter is equipment for enthusiasts of nature and sports photography. If you’re more interested in everyday long-range zoom, the OPPO Find X9 Ultra offers a native 10x optical zoom without additional accessories.
2K Display with ZEISS Master Color Calibration
The Vivo X300 Ultra features a 6.82-inch flat LTPO AMOLED panel with a 2K resolution (1440 x 3168 pixels, ~510 ppi) with a refresh rate of up to 144 Hz. The display supports Dolby Vision and HDR Vivid.
A novelty is ZEISS Master Color — for the first time in a smartphone, it is ZEISS, not the phone manufacturer, that is responsible for the color calibration of the display. Ultra XDR technology enhances brightness and contrast in challenging lighting conditions. Protection is provided by Armor Glass.
The screen is flat — Vivo consciously opted out of curved edges, making it easier to use protective films and reducing the risk of accidental touches.
Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 — the same chip as in the best flagships
The heart of the Vivo X300 Ultra is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 built on a 3 nm process — the same processor as in the OPPO Find X9 Ultra and the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra. The Oryon V3 Phoenix cores (2x 4.6 GHz + 6x 3.62 GHz) and Adreno 840 graphics provide top-tier performance.
In the Geekbench 6 benchmark, the Chinese variant achieved 3722 points in the single-core test and 11,621 in the multi-core test. The LPDDR5x RAM in 12 or 16 GB variants and UFS 4.1 storage up to 1 TB complete the specifications. The device runs on Android 16 with the OriginOS 6 overlay.
Battery up to 7000 mAh — in a body only 8.19 mm thick
The specifications of the Vivo X300 Ultra in terms of battery impress in context — a silicon-carbon cell with a capacity of 6600–7000 mAh (the variant with satellite connectivity has a larger battery) is housed in a body just 8.19 mm thick. This is one of the best engineering achievements of 2026.
Wired charging 100 W will recharge the battery in under 40 minutes. Wireless charging 40 W is slower than the competition (OPPO offers 50 W), but still fast enough for everyday use. The Vivo X300 Ultra supports USB PD, PPS, QC, and UFCS standards — a USB-C cable with USB PD will charge it from any compatible charger.
Tip: For longer trips, it’s worth bringing a power bank with USB PD — with a battery of up to 7000 mAh and 100 W charging, a compact 10,000 mAh model is the perfect addition to your kit.
Design — 8.19 mm with IP69 and professional accessories

The Vivo X300 Ultra is a smartphone designed with photographers in mind. The 8.19 mm thick body is one of the thinnest among flagships with a battery over 6000 mAh. The glass front and back are connected by an aluminum frame.
The IP68 + IP69 certification provides the highest level of protection — resistance to immersion and high-pressure water jets. Stereo speakers with a 0.8 cc chamber and Hi-Res Audio (24-bit/192 kHz) support complete the multimedia specifications.
The Vivo X300 Ultra is available in three colors: black (solid matte), silver, and green (dual-tone with contrasting rear panel finish).
Professional photography accessories
In addition to the 400 mm teleconverter, Vivo has prepared a professional video cage in collaboration with SmallRig (Pro Video Rig Kit):
- Cage with two Bluetooth grips (shutter + zoom)
- Adjustable LED lighting
- Active cooling fan
- Cold shoe mounts for microphone or light
- Quick mounting system
