Vivo X300 Ultra to take on Xiaomi 17 Ultra in Europe but may lose practical camera feature
Just before the turn of the year, new information on the Vivo X300 Ultra has emerged. According to earlier indications, the phone is set to succeed the China-exclusive Vivo X200 Ultra with two 200MP sensors, a 35mm main camera and a high quality ultrawide angle camera. Rumors already claimed that both Vivo and Oppo want to compete with the Xiaomi 17 Ultra in Europe in 2026. Now, an initial ECC certification has appeared for a Vivo smartphone with the model number V2562, which might be the global variant of the Vivo X300 Ultra.
Vivo has not officially commented on a launch of the Vivo X300 Ultra outside China, but the signs increasingly point to another serious competitor for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra as well as the Xiaomi 17 Ultra, which has just launched in China. The Oppo Find X9 Ultra is also expected to launch globally and, according to these indications, may even feature a proper 10x telephoto camera.
Vivo X300 Ultra specs leak: No more camera button?
In addition to this good news from the EEC databases, the highly reliable leaker Digital Chat Station has also provided a few additional specs on the Vivo X300 Ultra. As we previously reported, it features a flat 6.82-inch OLED display from BOE with slim bezels and flat metal frame edges, but apparently no longer sports a dedicated camera shutter button. For some users, this would certainly be a major downgrade compared with the Vivo X200 Ultra. Vivo may be taking a cue from Xiaomi here, as the Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica Edition does not have a shutter button, as Xiaomi wants to sell optional accessories instead.
According to the leaker, the round Zeiss camera module on the back of the Vivo X300 Ultra remains the same thickness, but the 200MP periscope telephoto camera is apparently moving to the right side. These reports also mention that the battery for the China model will top out around 7,000mAh. In the global model, Vivo is unfortunately expected to fit a much smaller single-cell battery. The focal lengths of the phone’s three cameras are unlikely to change, meaning it apparently remains a 14mm, 35mm and 85mm setup. But according to earlier leaks, the device could feature a new 1/1.12-inch Sony LYT-901 200MP sensor.
