vivo X300 Ultra Global Launch Confirmed With a 400mm Telephoto Extender

The vivo X300 Pro already redefined smartphone photography last year. But it looks like the Chinese smartphone maker isn’t done yet. vivo has confirmed that the vivo X300 Ultra will launch globally after its unveiling at MWC 2026 in Barcelona, Spain. The showcase offered the first look at what could become one of vivo’s most powerful flagship phones of 2026. The smartphone is said to be at the top of the X300 series, with a major emphasis on camera quality and hardware.

Exact details about price and availability are still under wraps, but the global confirmation points to broader availability this time. The device will become part of the X300 series, alongside the X300 and X300 Pro. However, vivo has not yet confirmed whether it will launch in India.

A Strong Focus on Camera Performance

At MWC, vivo presented the X300 Ultra as more than just a regular smartphone. The device was placed inside a SmallRig video cage and connected to a large Zeiss telephoto extender, showing that the company is targeting serious photography users.

According to reports, the Gen 2 extender can achieve up to 17x optical zoom equivalent. With this level of zoom, the X300 Ultra aims to handle long-range photography in a way that feels closer to dedicated camera systems.

Professional-Style Photography Setup

vivo ensured the teleconverter was firmly mounted rather than simply clipped onto the device. The circular mount system built into the SmallRig cage provided a stable and professional attachment mechanism. It also enhanced control and reduced shake during handheld recording. Demo setup included:

• A large detachable 400mm telephoto extender.
• A SmallRig cage for better grip and protection.
• A compact LED panel light mounted on the top cold shoe.
• A stabilised grip or gimbal-style handle for smoother shots.

What to Expect Next

After vivo officially announced that it will release the smartphone globally, it is likely to reveal the smartphone’s specifications and pricing. Moreover, it is now clear that the vivo X300 Ultra smartphone is a camera-centric flagship smartphone meant for photography enthusiasts.
