Vivo X300 Ultra tipped to replace Vivo X200 Ultra with global release as 35 mm camera flagship to beat
Early information supposedly relating to Vivo's next Ultra smartphone has emerged online, less than a year after the release of the X200 Ultra in China. For reference, Vivo has just released the X300 and X300 Pro globally as some of the first smartphones to rely upon the MediaTek Dimensity 9500. Additionally, former BBK Electronics compatriot has just launched the Find X9 and Find X9 Pro outside its home market too, also with MediaTek's latest flagship chipset.
To recap, previous leaks and rumours suggested that Oppo and Vivo were preparing to complement their new flagships with Ultra models around the same time. Moreover, at least one of these was anticipated to debut globally during Q1 2026, just as Samsung replaces the Galaxy S25 Ultra (curr. $949 on Amazon). Based on a recent IMEI database result, the mysterious global rival to the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be the Vivo X300 Ultra rather than the Find X9 Ultra bearing the model number 'V2562'.
Embedded above, Vivo's smartphone model numbers typically contain 'A' suffixes, as was the case with the V2509A and V2502DA that eventually became the X300 and X300 Pro, respectively. By contrast, the former's global variant drops the 'A' suffix altogether with the model number V2515. Although the IMEI database does not name the Vivo X300 Ultra directly, several typically reliable sources have inferred that V2562 relates to the X300 Ultra rather than another forthcoming Vivo smartphone.
Currently, the X300 Ultra is expected to line up with Qualcomm's latest flagship mobile chipset, just like the X200 Ultra before it. On top of that, the X300 Ultra has been rumoured to contain a 200 MP and 35 mm primary camera based on Samsung's ISOCELL IMX09E sensor. Apparently, Vivo plans to complement this sensor with 50 MP front-facing, 200 MP telephoto (ISOCELL HPB) and 50 MP ultra-wide-angle (Sony LYT-828) cameras.
