Vivo X300 Ultra and Xiaomi 17 Ultra will both compete for the top spot in mobile imaging. The former won’t be launched until March 2026. There’s a leak going around claiming that the Vivo X300 Ultra is about to grab one of its biggest camera upgrades yet. Here’s all we have on this device so far.
The leak was originally from Weibo, but it has been disseminated by the audience across X/Twitter and even Reddit. Its content actually exposed the phone’s entire rear camera setup. This newcomer should launch in March, the leak says. The global deployment will obviously happen later.
There’s a 200MP Main shooter on the Vivo latest Ultra mobile. It may have a non-zoom 35mm focal length. The sensor could be Sony LYT 901. Earlier reports find ground once again. This leak has also suggested an additional 200MP sensor under the periscope telephoto lens.
Now this 200MP Main LYT 901 sensor won’t be an ordinary camera system. There’s a chance that it will have a continuous zoom from 35mm to 85mm. This is totally different from the Xiaomi 17 Ultra’s implementation, by the way. That device has continuous optical zoom on its periscope 200MP camera, not the primary one.
Vivo X300 might execute this continuous zoom in a way that the phone can zoom into anything between the Main camera and the telephoto’s focal range. And they’ll both have 200MP resolution, so there won’t be a drop in quality as you do it.
But the leak doesn’t count for the fact that the continuous zoom function sometimes causes the sensor sizes to grow abnormally. And the X300 Ultra not only has the Main 200MP, but also a 200MP periscope telephoto to account for as well. There's also a 50MP ultrawide that will need its own space on the circuit module.
We’d also like to add that the source doesn’t have a consistent track record to back its claim. And leakers like Digital Chat Station and Smart Pikachu are still silent on the matter. We remain skeptical of this news until more sources have verified it. Keep watching the news for updates.
