Vivo is going all-in on photography and endurance in 2026 with the X300 Series—a lineup that’s already challenging Samsung, Xiaomi, Oppo, and Honor flagships head-on. The X300 Pro (launched October 2025) is out now and performing amazingly (even edging the Galaxy S26 Ultra in some camera tests), while the X300 Ultra stole the show at MWC 2026 with its Zeiss-powered beast mode, massive sensors, and global ambitions. Newer siblings like X300s (200MP Zeiss camera, 144Hz display) and X300 Max (spotted at MWC) are expanding the family.
This series is perfect if you’re into zoom, low-light magic, long battery life, and pro video tools—without the Samsung premium tax.
Key Models in the Vivo X300 Series (Early 2026 Status)
- Vivo X300 (base/standard): Compact, launched late 2025, great value with solid Zeiss cameras.
- Vivo X300 Pro: The current sweet spot—available globally, strong performer vs. S26 Ultra.
- Vivo X300 Ultra: The flagship king—previewed at MWC 2026, China launch soon, global later in 2026.
- X300s / X300 Max: Newer variants teased (200MP Zeiss, big batteries, improved haptics/speakers).
Focus on the X300 Ultra as the highlight—it’s Vivo’s push for “cinematic video creation” and extreme zoom.
Design & Build: Premium, Creator-Focused
- Dimensions (Ultra): ~163-164 x 76-78 x 8.5-9 mm (thicker for huge battery/camera)

The Ultra’s massive camera module (with Zeiss branding) screams pro—includes support for detachable telephoto extenders (up to 400mm equiv.

Camera: Zeiss Magic – The Main Event
Vivo’s Zeiss partnership delivers pro results:
- Main (Ultra): 200MP Sony LYT-901 (1/1.12-inch massive sensor, f/1.6-1.8, OIS—insane detail/low-light)

The dual 200MP setup (main + periscope) crushes zoom/portraits/night shots. Accessories turn it into a pro rig—great for wildlife, sports, or content creation. Early tests show it rivaling/outpacing S26 Ultra in many scenarios.
Other Standouts
