Deep Dive: The Camera System Revolution
Vivo’s partnership with German optics powerhouse ZEISS has peaked with the X300 series.
1. The 200MP APO Periscope (X300 Pro)
This is the show-stopper. The X300 Pro is one of the first phones to feature a 200MP Periscope Telephoto lens. The APO (Apochromatic) designation means Vivo has engineered the lens to perfectly align different color wavelengths, virtually eliminating chromatic aberration (color fringing) for ultra-clear shots, especially at high zoom levels (up to 3.7x optical zoom and 100x digital zoom).
2. Gimbal-Grade Stabilization
Both the main and telephoto lenses feature advanced CIPA 5.5-grade stabilization, which is professional-level stabilization usually associated with dedicated camera systems. This means you can get rock-steady handheld video at 4K 120fps and ultra-sharp photos even in low light without a tripod.
3. Pro Accessories & Software
- Photography Grip Kit: This optional accessory bolts onto the phone, adding a physical shutter button and better ergonomics, making the X300 Pro feel exactly like a compact mirrorless camera.
- Multi-Focal HD Portrait: The software utilizes the multiple lenses to offer five “golden focal lengths” (24mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm, 135mm) for perfect portrait framing, mimicking classic professional lenses.
Performance & Software: Dimensity Power
Both phones are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 9500 chipset, fabricated on a 3nm process. This is MediaTek’s direct answer to the latest Snapdragon processors, offering exceptional speed and efficiency.
- OriginOS 6: The switch from FuntouchOS to OriginOS 6 brings a sleek, responsive, and highly customizable UI experience. Early reviews praise the software’s speed and the addition of useful features like One-Touch Share (seamless file transfer with iPhones) and deep AI-driven features for photo editing and system optimization.
- Endurance & Charging: The massive BlueVolt batteries (up to 6,510mAh on the Pro) combined with the efficient 3nm Dimensity 9500 promise excellent two-day battery life for moderate users. The 90W wired charging can fill the cell in under 30 minutes.
Leaked India Pricing and Availability
The X300 series is positioned in the ultra-premium segment, setting its sights squarely on devices like the Oppo Find X9 Pro and the OnePlus 15.
| Model | Variant | Leaked India Price (Expected) |
| Vivo X300 | 12GB RAM + 256GB Storage | ₹75,999 |
| Vivo X300 Pro | 16GB RAM + 512GB Storage | ₹1,09,999 |
- Launch Time: Tomorrow, December 2, 2025, 12:00 PM IST.
- Where to Watch: Live stream will be available on Vivo’s official YouTube channel and social media handles.
Final Verdict: Is the X300 Series Worth the Premium Price?
For the Photographer: Absolutely.
The Vivo X300 Pro is arguably the most dedicated camera phone of 2025. If your primary use case involves zoom, low-light photography, or professional-grade video recording, the 200MP APO Telephoto and the V3+ Imaging Chip make the Pro model an easy recommendation, justifying its premium price tag.
The Vivo X300 is the dark horse—a true compact flagship (6.31-inch) that sacrifices only the top-end periscope zoom while keeping the powerful Dimensity 9500, a large battery, and the revolutionary new software.
