TL;DR

• The vivo X300 Ultra will use a fifth‑generation Samsung HP0‑based 200 MP sensor co‑engineered with ZEISS, featuring vivo’s BlueImage tech to boost color accuracy, autofocus, power efficiency, and HDR.
• Its telephoto camera will offer an unprecedented 3° optical image stabilization (OIS), roughly three‑times the typical industry movement cancellation, for smoother photos and video at longer focal lengths.
• The X300 Ultra is expected to launch in China soon, followed by a global release.

Camera Overview

vivo’s Product Manager Han Boxiao shared details on Weibo about the upcoming X300 Ultra’s camera system:

• Primary sensor: Fifth‑generation Samsung HP0‑based 200 MP sensor, co‑engineered with ZEISS.
• BlueImage technology: Improves color accuracy, autofocus performance, power efficiency, and HDR capabilities.

Telephoto Optical Image Stabilization

The telephoto module pairs the large sensor with 3° optical image stabilization (OIS)—a “gimbal‑level” stabilization visible to the naked eye.

• Traditional telephoto OIS typically provides 0.7°–1° of movement cancellation.
• The X300 Ultra’s OIS reaches 1.2°, and the new 3° system delivers nearly three‑fold improvement over competitors and double the performance of vivo’s previous flagship.
• This meets the CIPA 7.0 professional‑grade stabilization standard, usually found only in dedicated cameras.

Benefits

• Longer, more stable exposures for telephoto shots, allowing more light to be captured.
• Improved video with smoother motion and better focus tracking at up to 60 fps.
• Enhanced performance when using teleconverter lenses (e.g., 200 mm and 400 mm focal lengths).

Telephoto Extender Lens

vivo confirmed the X300 Ultra will launch with a 400 mm (~16.6× zoom) add‑on lens (source). The advanced OIS will be especially valuable for users who attach this extender.

Launch Outlook

No official launch date has been announced. Given the recent reveal of camera details, a China release is expected soon, with a global rollout to follow in the coming weeks or months.
