Weeks prior to its official launch, Vivo has shared a first photo from the Zeiss telephoto camera of a Vivo X300 Pro test unit, which is intended to illustrate the capabilities of the new ISOCELL HPB sensor. Additionally, Vivo has more or less confirmed another batch of X300 and X300 Pro camera specs.

The successor to the Vivo X200 Pro will not get radical changes like the Vivo X200 Ultra with its 35mm camera and nearly equally large sensors, but it is supposedly getting some noteworthy upgrades nonetheless. This specifically applies to the camera. Although the smartphone’s launch in China is still a few weeks away, Vivo manager Han BoXiao has been teasing the X300 Pro quite heavily since September 1.

After official details on the base model Vivo X300 with its ISOCELL HPB 200-megapixel sensor and the new Vivo X300 Pro telephoto camera emerged over the last few days, the Vivo X300 Pro has been put in the spotlight yet again. The phone is not expected to launch in Europe until 2026, or by the end of 2025 at the earliest. A short video on Weibo, from which we have taken some screenshots, now demonstrates how well you can zoom into a photo that’s been taken with the new 200-megapixel telephoto lens.

We embedded the full video from Weibo for you below:

Vivo X300 Pro gets new Sony LYT-828 sensor

In contrast to the Vivo X300 and its 1/1.4-inch 200-megapixel ISOCELL HPB main sensor, the Vivo X300 Pro will utilize the 1/1.28-inch Sony LYT-828. The direct successor to the LYT-818 in the Vivo X200 Pro is not larger but, according to the official product presentation, is supposed to produce significantly more dynamic shots. The new sensor is combined with an F/1.57 lens, which is said to have CIPA 5.5-level stabilization and will benefit from a Zeiss T* coating. The Vivo X300 Pro's triple camera also gets the advantages of the Zeiss APO telephoto.

50MP front camera for the Vivo X300 series

Last but not least, the entire Vivo X300 series of smartphones will apparently receive a new and larger 50-megapixel selfie camera with autofocus and a 92-degree FOV.
