Vivo X300 Ultra tipped to feature 35mm Zeiss camera with "best" colour sensor and new teleconverter

So far, leaks related to the Vivo X300 Ultra have largely focused on its three large sensors, its 35mm lens, and a rumoured zoom lens. Whilst lenses and sensors are undoubtedly crucial components of a camera system, there are still other areas where phone makers can push improvements. One example is image colour accuracy, an aspect that can greatly benefit from a multispectral sensor – something Oppo has been emphasising for years.

Although we encountered several issues with the Oppo Find X9 Pro’s multispectral sensor during our brief hands-on with its cameras – particularly when used with the camera kit – this type of sensor theoretically still helps a phone interpret colours in the environment more accurately than conventional image sensors, especially in low-light conditions. In a recent Weibo post, the highly reliable leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the Vivo X300 Ultra will similarly adopt a multispectral sensor – tipped to be the industry’s largest with a 5 MP resolution – potentially offering the best multispectral solution of the year.

In a follow-up comment, the leaker also mentioned a few other strengths of the flagship phone. Its 35mm Zeiss camera with a Sony LYT-901 sensor will reportedly receive a new teleconverter, possibly with a different magnification than the predecessor’s 2.35x. However, Digital Chat Station has yet to share any details about the recently rumoured optical zoom camera.
