The imaging flagship smartphone market is heating once again and after the launch of Xiaomi 17 Ultra, several brands are now preparing to release their Ultra flagships. Among them is Vivo which is also preparing to launch its next generation Vivo X300 Ultra smartphone by the end of this quarter in China. According to the renowned Chinese tipster Digital Chat Station, the device will push the imaging hardware to a whole new level. The device will feature a no compromise, all high quality triple camera setup.
As per the tipster, the Vivo X300 Ultra will feature a 200MP Sony LYT901 main sensor with a large 1/1.12-inch sensor size. This sensor is said to use custom optics and a native 35mm focal length, which is the same focal length seen on previous generation X200 Ultra. A 35mm lens offers a more realistic perspective, improved subject separation, and better low-light performance compared to the commonly used wider focal lengths in smartphones.
For ultra-wide photography, Vivo is again going all out, equipping the X300 Ultra with a 50MP ultra-large sensor sized at 1/1.28 inches. This will help the sensor to capture improved dynamic range, sharper details, and reduced distortion for landscape and architectural shots.
However, the highlight of the camera setup is the new 200MP periscope telephoto lens, featuring a 1/1.4-inch sensor paired with an 85mm focal length. Often referred to as the “golden focal length,” 85mm is widely regarded as ideal for portrait photography due to its natural compression and background blur.
With two 200MP sensors, Vivo X300 Ultra will be the only Ultra smartphone in 2026 to feature dual 200MP cameras.
