Vivo\u2019s Ultra phones have emerged as some of the best camera phones on the market, but the biggest downside to this series is that they haven\u2019t been available outside China. This is changing with the vivo X300 Ultra, as the manufacturer previously confirmed that a global release is on the cards. Now, vivo has indeed launched the phone globally.<\/p>\n

The global X300 Ultra is pretty much identical to the Chinese model. That means a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, a 6.82-inch QHD+ OLED screen, and a 6,600mAh battery. Europe is receiving this same battery capacity, which is a welcome change from the downgraded X300 Pro. Otherwise, you can expect 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Vivo\u2019s Ultra phone is all about the camera experience, and we\u2019ve got some impressive hardware here. For one, there\u2019s a 200MP 35mm main camera. This is the first phone with Sony\u2019s LYT-901 camera sensor, which is the largest 200MP sensor on the market. The X300 Ultra sticks with a 200MP 85mm periscope camera, although it now has 60fps autofocus tracking in snapshot mode as well as improved stabilization. The phone also packs a 50MP ultrawide camera (LYT-818) that\u2019s actually larger than the main camera seen on phones like the Galaxy S26 and OnePlus 15. Finally, vivo is following in HUAWEI and OPPO\u2019s footsteps by adopting a color-sensing camera for accurate color reproduction.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s X200 Ultra and X300 Pro offered optional 200mm external lenses. Vivo is upping the ante this time with a more compact 200mm lens and a giant 400mm telephoto extender. The latter enables ~17x native telephoto zoom, along with 800mm (~33x) lossless-resolution zoom. These add-on lenses are available as part of the optional photography kit, which also includes the required camera case and adapter ring, a camera grip, shoulder strap, and more.<\/p>\n

In terms of camera software, the Ultra now supports custom photographic profiles that can be shared via QR code, APV codec support (following the S26 Ultra), 4K\/120fps Log video capture, Film Style capture for Xpan-style video, audio recording presets, and an overhauled pro video mode.<\/p>\n

The phone also ships with Origin OS 6 atop Android 16, and vivo is promising five major OS upgrades and seven years of security patches. That\u2019s not quite as good as Google, HONOR, and Samsung, but it\u2019s still a respectable update policy.<\/p>\n

This is the big question, isn\u2019t it? Vivo hasn\u2019t officially confirmed European pricing for the X300 Ultra just yet. However, the 1TB model is currently listed on Amazon for an eye-watering \u20ac1,999. For what it\u2019s worth, the X300 Pro starts at \u20ac1,399 (~$1,651).<\/p>\n

The manufacturer is also sweetening the deal for pre-order customers in Austria, Hungary, Switzerland, and Germany. Those who pre-order the phone between now and April 23 will get a free camera rig kit, one-year screen protection, a three-year warranty, and a five-year battery warranty. These customers also get a 50% discount on the \u20ac599 photography kit, the \u20ac99 camera bag, and the 100W charger. Meanwhile, pre-order customers in Spain will receive a free photography kit, charger, camera bag, and camera rig kit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

This isn\u2019t the only phone vivo is launching today, as it also revealed the X300 FE. This phone is effectively a downgraded version of the base X300, featuring the Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 (not Elite) chip and less impressive main and ultrawide cameras. However, the phone also supports vivo\u2019s 200mm external lens for native ~8.7x zoom. Vivo hasn\u2019t confirmed pricing for the FE yet, but the specs suggest it could be cheaper than the standard X300,\u00a0which has a recommended price of \u20ac1,099 (~$1,296).<\/p>\n
