Vivo X300 Ultra announced – smartphone and telescope

Vivo continues to develop the direction of mobile photography and is betting on large sensors and sophisticated optics.

Design and screen

The published images show that the smartphone has a large round camera module that takes up a significant part of the back panel. This element has already become a characteristic feature of Vivo flagships, but in the X300 Ultra the module looks even more massive.

Next to the main camera unit is a large flash module consisting of three elements. It is assumed that this design is designed for uniform lighting when shooting in difficult conditions.

On the front side, the device received a flat display with a resolution of 2K. Unlike previous models with curved screens, a completely flat panel is used here. This approach reduces the number of accidental presses and glare at the edges. The frames look symmetrical, and the corners of the case are slightly rounded.

Cameras and Zeiss optics

The main emphasis in the model is on the cameras. According to preliminary information, the Vivo X300 Ultra will receive a dual module with 200 MP sensors. High resolution is planned to be used not only to increase detail, but also for hybrid zoom without significant loss of quality.

The company continues its cooperation with Zeiss. This means the use of proprietary image processing algorithms and a special lens coating that reduces glare.

A periscope lens with a fixed focal length of about 400 mm is separately mentioned. This indicator is more typical for specialized optics and allows you to shoot distant objects, for example, sporting events or wildlife.

In addition, the camera system may include a 50 MP main sensor and an ultra-wide-angle module with a focal length of 14 mm and an aperture of F2.0.

Additional optics and accessories

Earlier, information about an additional accessory for the smartphone – an external teleconverter with a 17x zoom – also appeared on the network. It is assumed that it will be developed specifically for the Vivo X300 Ultra.

If the accessory is released together with the smartphone, the device will be able to work on a modular principle: the computing capabilities of the mobile processor will be supplemented with physical optics.

Such an approach shows that Vivo is betting on the development of mobile photography, while other manufacturers are experimenting with other devices. For example, the recently introduced Motorola Edge 70 Fusion+ received a 7000 mAh battery and a body with linen finish.
