vivo Launches X300 Ultra Globally: A Professional Creative Powerhouse Featuring ZEISS Master Lenses Collection

SHENZHEN, China, April 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- vivo today officially announced the global launch of the X300 Ultra, marking the first-ever international debut of the X Series' ultimate imaging flagship. Featuring the industry-leading ZEISS Master Lenses Collection, the phone offers professional creators unprecedented creative freedom through pioneering telephoto solutions, cinematic-grade video capabilities, and advanced color science. With these innovations, the X300 Ultra elevates mobile imaging to new heights, reflecting vivo's continued focus on optical engineering, computational photography, and system-level optimization.

ZEISS Master Lenses Collection Built for Professional Creation

The X300 Ultra pushes the boundaries of optical photography with the industry-leading ZEISS Master Lenses Collection. It features the powerful ZEISS Triple Prime Lenses at 85 mm, 35 mm, and 14 mm, with the option to further extend telephoto reach using the 400 mm Equivalent vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra^[1] or the 200 mm equivalent vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2. Each camera within the ZEISS Master Lenses Collection pairs an ultra-sensing sensor with a dedicated prime focal length, forming a complete, professional-grade imaging system.

Whether capturing expansive landscapes with an ultra-wide-angle lens or intricate close-ups with a telephoto lens, it provides a consistent, top-tier dynamic imaging experience.

With Multi-Focal 4K Master Color Video, the X300 Ultra takes professional imaging to new heights. By combining high-resolution recording with the advanced vivo Color Science, the device delivers film-like color performance straight out of the camera through end-to-end tone enhancement. The versatile vivo Color Palette provides detailed control over tone, exposure, hue offset, highlights, and sharpness, empowering creators to fine-tune every aspect of their footage.

The X300 Ultra pays tribute to the classic aesthetics of cinema, offering users one-touch access to sophisticated, film-inspired video styles such as Film Look and Film Style, with Film Style supporting the addition of a signature cinematic watermark.

Another significant breakthrough in the X300 Ultra's video capabilities is its pro-grade Log recording on all rear cameras. It supports 4K 120 fps 10-bit Log Video at multiple focal lengths, ensuring creators consistently enjoy color depth and an expansive dynamic range.

The All-New Pro Video Mode takes it a step further, offering a control interface and parameter adjustments akin to professional cinema cameras, further empowering professional creation. The monitoring feature has also been upgraded, supporting the application of custom 3D LUTs for real-time previewing while recording in Log. In addition, vivo Log is now compatible with the ACES workflow. This enables Log footage to be seamlessly integrated and color-graded alongside cinema camera assets within a unified, standardized color space, establishing a comprehensive and open mobile imaging ecosystem that spans from pre-production to post-production.

Treating sound as an integral part of storytelling, X300 Ultra features an upgraded Quad-Mic Audio Recording Master. Designed to adapt to diverse shooting environments, it offers six core presets, including specialized scenarios engineered to intelligently emphasize target sound sources while suppressing ambient noise. This ensures creators capture clean, clear audio that perfectly complements the visual quality of their footage^[5].

vivo has also introduced a professional mobile videography solution: the vivo SmallRig Pro Video Rig Kit^[6]. Designed to elevate the video capture capabilities of the X300 Ultra, it provides a comprehensive toolkit tailored for professionals.
