The vivo X300 series is finally here, and this time vivo has gone all out with upgrades that are bound to excite photography lovers and power users alike. The lineup brings professional-grade telephoto imaging to both the Vivo X300 Standard Edition and the Vivo X300 Pro, making it one of the most versatile smartphone series of the year. From the much-talked-about Zeiss 2.35x telephoto zoom lens support to the world’s first 4K 60fps portrait video, the Vivo X300 series is shaping up to be a milestone in mobile imaging.
Zeiss 2.35x Telephoto Zoom Lens: Now for Everyone
One of the biggest highlights of the vivo X300 series is that both models—the Standard and Pro—support the same Zeiss 2.35x telephoto zoom lens that was previously exclusive to the vivo X200 Ultra.
This is a game-changer because:
If you already purchased the zoom lens for the X200 Ultra, you can reuse it with the new X300 or X300 Pro.
vivo has introduced a new silver color option for the lens, making it a stylish accessory while still offering professional-grade results.
It’s fully compatible with multiple shooting modes: landscapes, street photography, portraits, professional shots, and even cultural photography scenes.
For users who attend concerts or live events, this opens up a huge advantage. Instead of renting the X200 Ultra package, you can simply buy the more affordable X300 Standard Edition and rent the telephoto lens + adapter ring whenever you need it. This makes professional telephoto photography far more accessible and cost-effective.
Imaging Powerhouse: 200MP Telephoto & Pro-Grade Stabilization
vivo is doubling down on imaging with two massive upgrades:
vivo X300 Standard Edition → Features a 200MP Zeiss Super Main Camera powered by Samsung’s HPB large sensor.
vivo X300 Pro → Introduces an 85mm 200MP Zeiss APO Super Telephoto lens, perfect for detailed zoom photography.
Shared Imaging Features → Both versions come with Zeiss T Coating*, Deep Absorption Blue Glass, and CIPA 4.5/5.5 level stabilization, ensuring clear, shake-free telephoto shots.
On top of photography, vivo is breaking barriers in video too:
World’s first 4K 60fps Portrait Video for cinema-like bokeh effects.
Dual focal length 4K 120fps Dolby Vision HDR for professional-grade video capture.
4K 120fps 10-bit Log video recording, giving content creators editing flexibility like never before.
Simply put, the X300 series is not just another smartphone—it’s a pocket cinema camera ready for professionals and enthusiasts.

Why the X300 Series Matters
The X300 series proves that telephoto imaging is no longer limited to ultra-premium models. For the first time, even the Standard Edition gets a telephoto setup and full compatibility with Zeiss zoom lenses.
