The vivo X300 Ultra has officially launched in the Philippines, proving its strong demand after selling out during the pre‑order period. The limited kit bundled exclusive accessories for photography enthusiasts, but stocks quickly ran out, showing the phone’s appeal among creators.
Designed for those who need professional tools in a smartphone, the X300 Ultra combines ZEISS optics, advanced video recording, and a full accessory ecosystem to support serious vlogging and filmmaking.
It’s a powerhouse on paper, but does it deserve the title of the King of Android Video? Let’s take a closer look.
Triple ZEISS Master Prime Camera System
At the heart of the vivo X300 Ultra is a triple ZEISS Master Prime lens system designed for professional creators.
The 85mm ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera uses a 200MP HP0 sensor with a bright f/2.67 aperture and gimbal‑grade stabilization, rated at CIPA 7.0, to deliver sharp handheld telephoto shots even at long focal lengths.
The 35mm ZEISS Documentary Camera adds another 200MP sensor, the Sony LYTIA 901, paired with optical image stabilization at CIPA 6.5, making it ideal for natural perspective and documentary‑style shooting.
Lastly, the 14mm ZEISS Ultra Wide Camera with a 50MP Sony LYTIA 818 sensor and CIPA 6.0 stabilization is perfect for expansive landscapes or group shots.
Supporting these lenses is a 5MP multispectral sensor equipped with 12 color channels and an upgraded flicker sensor, which improves color accuracy and lighting consistency.
For vloggers and filmmakers, this setup means flexibility across focal lengths, ultra‑clear detail from dual 200MP sensors, and reliable stabilization that ensures polished footage straight out of the phone.

ZEISS Telephoto Extender Lenses
The vivo X300 Ultra takes mobile telephoto shooting further with its ZEISS Telephoto Extender system.
The Gen 2 extender delivers a 200mm focal length with 2.35x magnification, supported by CIPA 6.5 stabilization. It uses 15 high‑transmission glass elements to maintain brightness and clarity, while fast autofocus tracking ensures subjects remain sharp even when zoomed in.
For creators, this means handheld telephoto shots that look stable and professional without the need for bulky gear.
The Gen 2 Ultra extender pushes the reach to 400mm with 4.7x magnification, making it possible to capture distant subjects with precision. It adds five ultra‑low‑dispersion glass elements and an aspherical lens to reduce chromatic aberrations, producing cleaner images with less color fringing.
This extender is designed for advanced creators who want DSLR‑like reach in a compact setup.
Together, the two extenders give vloggers flexibility to frame shots from medium telephoto to extreme zoom, making the X300 Ultra one of the most versatile mobile platforms for storytelling.
10-bit Log Recording and Dolby Vision
The vivo X300 Ultra is built for creators who want cinematic video straight from a phone.
It supports Multi‑Focal 4K recording at 120fps in both 10‑bit Log and Dolby Vision across all three ZEISS cameras. Shooting in Log mode captures flatter footage with greater dynamic range, giving vloggers more flexibility in post‑production for color grading and stylistic edits.
Dolby Vision recording, on the other hand, delivers vibrant colors and deeper contrast right out of the camera, ideal for creators who want polished results without heavy editing.
To support professional workflows, the X300 Ultra includes APV 4:2:2 encoding and ACES compatibility, ensuring footage integrates smoothly into industry‑standard editing pipelines. This means creators can move from mobile capture to desktop post‑production without losing quality or compatibility.

Photography Kit
The vivo X300 Ultra also offers a dedicated Photographer Kit that transforms the phone into a more practical vlogging tool.
Inside the premium box are accessories like a protective case, lens adapter ring, filter adapter, mount ring, tripod rings, and a quick‑release strap.
The centerpiece is the camera grip, which adds physical controls for shutter, record, zoom, exposure, and flash. It also houses a 2,300mAh battery that connects via USB‑C, extending shooting sessions while keeping the phone powered.
For vloggers and creators, this kit makes the X300 Ultra feel closer to a traditional camera, offering better handling and longer endurance during shoots.
Other Features
Beyond its camera and video systems, the vivo X300 Ultra is equipped with premium flagship hardware designed to support demanding creative workflows.
The display is a 6.82‑inch LTPO AMOLED panel with 3K resolution, 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision support. This combination makes it ideal for reviewing footage, editing on the go, or simply enjoying high‑quality playback.
Under the hood, it runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage, ensuring smooth performance even when handling large video files or multitasking between editing apps. Benchmarks confirm its power, scoring 3,611,543 points on AnTuTu Benchmark V11.
vivo also integrates its own VS1+ imaging processor, which manages complex image processing tasks and helps deliver consistent quality across different shooting modes.
Power comes from a 6,600mAh BlueVolt battery, built for endurance during long recording sessions. In our own battery tests, the phone logged 16 hours and 1 minute, which translates to 13 hours and 41 minutes of screen‑on time.
