NEW DELHI – Vivo has officially confirmed that its most ambitious flagship to date, the Vivo X300 Ultra, will launch in India on May 6th, 2026. This marks a significant milestone as it is the first time Vivo is bringing its “Ultra” series to the Indian market, positioning it directly against titans like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra and the iPhone 17 Pro Max.
Alongside the Ultra, Vivo will also introduce the X300 FE, expanding its portfolio across multiple premium price segments.
The “Dual 200MP” Revolution
The X300 Ultra’s standout feature is its world-first dual 200MP camera system. This setup combines a high-resolution primary sensor with a massive 200MP periscope telephoto lens.
- Zoom Capabilities: Offers 3.7x optical zoom and a staggering 105x digital zoom.
- Zeiss Collaboration: The device supports external Zeiss telephoto lenses (200mm and 400mm) that can be attached via a specialized case, effectively transforming the smartphone into a professional-grade compact camera.
Key Specifications at a Glance
Beyond the camera, the X300 Ultra is packed with industry-leading hardware:
| Feature | Specification |
| Display | 6.82-inch 2K LTPO OLED, 144Hz refresh rate |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 |
| Battery | 7,000mAh (100W Wired / 40W Wireless charging) |
| Storage/RAM | Up to 12GB RAM (expected base) |
| Front Camera | 50MP Selfie shooter |
| Durability | Circular module design with a flat-edged frame |
Market Outlook and Pricing
While the device started at CNY 6,999 in China, Indian consumers should expect the price to exceed Rs 1,00,000 due to import taxes and positioning. It will be available through Amazon, Flipkart, and Vivo’s online store starting May 6th at 12:00 PM.
By introducing external lens compatibility and a massive 7,000mAh battery, Vivo is targeting professional photographers and power users who find standard flagship offerings limited. Whether the niche appeal of external lenses will win over the mass premium market remains to be seen, but the X300 Ultra undoubtedly sets a new benchmark for mobile imaging hardware.
