Vivo has officially launched its latest flagship smartphone, the Vivo X300 Pro, marking a significant upgrade in mobile photography capabilities with a custom 200-megapixel Samsung sensor and advanced optical stabilization technology[1][4].

Revolutionary Telephoto Camera System

The standout feature of the Vivo X300 Pro is its telephoto camera, which utilizes Samsung’s ISOCELL HPB sensor, internally codenamed “Thanos”[4]. This deeply customized 200MP sensor features a large 1/1.4-inch optical format, making it significantly larger than competing telephoto sensors found in other flagship devices[2][4]. The sensor is part of an 85mm periscope module that delivers exceptional zoom capabilities while maintaining image quality[4].

Vivo has partnered with ZEISS to enhance optical performance through T lens coating* that minimizes ghosting and chromatic aberrations[2][4]. The APO-certified lens is constructed from fluorite glass to reduce light dispersion, while the advanced image stabilization system achieves CIPA 5.5 level stability—a full stop improvement over the previous generation[4]. This enhancement allows the X300 Pro to use shutter speeds twice as slow while maintaining the same sharpness.

Both the X300 and X300 Pro models feature ZEISS 2.35x teleconverters, with the X300 Pro reaching an impressive 800mm equivalent focal length for extreme zoom photography[6][9]. The standard X300 model uses a non-periscope version of the same sensor, delivering 165mm focal length capabilities[9].

Main Camera and Front-Facing Optics

Complementing the telephoto system is a Sony LYT-828 main sensor with a 1/1.3-inch format, an improved version of the LYT-818 used in the X200 generation[4][7]. The X300 Pro also includes a 50-megapixel front-facing camera for high-quality selfies and video calls[1][3].

Performance and Display Specifications

Powering the Vivo X300 Pro is the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, providing flagship-level performance for demanding tasks and mobile gaming[1][2]. The device features a 6.8-inch flat display with 1.5K resolution, offering sharp visuals and ample screen real estate[4].

Massive Battery Capacity

One of the most impressive specifications is the 7,000mAh battery, ensuring extended usage without frequent charging—a rare feature in flagship smartphones that typically compromise battery size for slimmer designs[4].

The Vivo X300 Pro’s combination of cutting-edge camera technology, powerful processing capabilities, and exceptional battery life positions it as a formidable competitor in the premium smartphone segment, particularly for photography enthusiasts seeking professional-grade zoom capabilities in a mobile device.
