vivo demonstrated the X300 Ultra at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, attaching a massive external teleconverter to the device. The accessory provides a 400 mm equivalent focal length, translating to approximately 17.3X optical zoom. Sensor cropping can extend this range to roughly 800 mm equivalent.
This hardware allows the smartphone to achieve focal lengths previously restricted to dedicated cameras. The teleconverter builds on vivo’s previous optics experiments, offering the company’s most powerful zoom system to date.
The company also displayed a new video camera rig alongside the lens. This accessory includes a snap-on cooling fan, a side handle grip, and a cold shoe mount for lights or microphones. The setup aims to transform the phone into a handheld camera system for video recording.
The X300 Ultra is expected to feature a triple-camera system anchored by a 200 MP Sony LYT-901 main sensor measuring 1/1.12-inch. The telephoto camera is expected to utilize a 200 MP Samsung HPB sensor at an 85 mm equivalent focal length. An ultra-wide camera is expected to use a 50 MP Sony LYT-828 sensor.
Additional camera hardware is expected to include ZEISS optics, laser autofocus, and a 5 MP color spectrum sensor. The front camera is expected to be 50 MP.
Under the hood, the device is expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor. It is expected to feature a 6.82-inch LTPO OLED display and a 7,000 mAh battery. Charging speeds are expected to reach 100W wired and 40W wireless.
The X300 Ultra is expected to launch in China later in March 2026. A global release is anticipated around April or May.
