After unveiling the devices globally, vivo has started teasing the arrival of its upcoming flagship smartphones, the vivo X300 Ultra and the vivo X300 FE, in India. Both models are clearly targeted at the premium segment, with a strong focus on photography, an area where vivo continues to work closely with ZEISS.
A push toward modular smartphone photography
One of the most interesting aspects of the X300 Ultra is its modular camera approach. vivo is offering support for external accessories, including a Camera Grip Kit and the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra.
From what the company has shown so far, the telephoto extender connects directly to the camera module and significantly boosts zoom capability, up to a 400mm equivalent focal length. This kind of flexibility is typically associated with dedicated cameras, suggesting vivo is trying to bridge the gap between smartphones and professional photography gear.
vivo X300 Ultra: built for top-tier performance
The X300 Ultra is coming up to be a full-fledged flagship, not just in terms of camera hardware but overall performance. Here’s what it is expected to offer:
- 6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO OLED display with a 144Hz refresh rate
- Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset
- Triple rear camera setup (200MP main sensor, 200MP periscope telephoto with stabilization, 50MP ultra-wide)
- 50MP front camera
- 6600 mAh battery with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging
- IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance
Taken together, these features suggest a device designed for users who want cutting-edge performance across the board, especially in imaging.
vivo X300 FE: a more compact flagship option
Launching alongside the Ultra, the X300 FE is for users who prefer a more compact and slightly more affordable flagship experience. The design falls toward a flat, minimalist look, with a distinctive vertical camera module visible in official teasers.
Interestingly, vivo is also bringing modular photography to this model. The X300 FE supports the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2, allowing up to a 200mm equivalent zoom, impressive for a device in this category.
Expected specifications include:
- 6.31-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate
- Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor
- Triple rear cameras (50MP main, 50MP periscope, 8MP ultra-wide)
- 50MP front camera
- 6500 mAh battery with 90W fast charging
- Lightweight design at around 191 grams
India launch and availability
Both smartphones will be available through Amazon India (X300 FE and X300 Ultra), vivo’s official online store, and offline retail outlets after launch. While vivo hasn’t confirmed a specific date yet, the launch is expected to take place in May 2026.
More details, including pricing and exact availability, should become clear in the coming weeks as the India launch approaches.
