The just-launched iPhone 17 Pro models come with a notable camera upgrade. Vivo highlights that even though its upcoming series has larger sensors, the camera bump on X300 and X300 Pro still undercuts Apple's flagships.

Apple has just fully unveiled the iPhone 17 series, and the Pro models see a noticeable camera upgrade over their predecessors. Hardware-wise, they feature a new 48 MP telephoto sensor on the back, which is capable of offering 8x zoom, a notable step-up from the 5x optical zoom found in Apple's last-gen flagship phones.

Speaking of camera upgrades, Vivo recently shared that the X300 will come with a cold-carved glass design on the back, featuring a sleeker camera bump. To be specific, the company has confirmed that the camera island only protrudes 1.28 mm from the back glass.

Now, after Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 Pro, Vivo has showcased how the camera bump of Apple's flagship compares with the X300 and X300 Pro. The company highlighted that even though both the upcoming flagship phones feature a 200 MP large sensor, in comparison, they feature smaller camera bumps.

Vivo also highlights that the camera bump of the X300 is the smallest among the two, and it has a more seamless design than the iPhone 17 Pro. With this comparison, the company has reiterated that the X300 Pro will come with two 200 MP sensors, touting it to be the "king of imaging."

The Weibo post further mentions that the X300 series comes with the BOE Q10 Plus screen. This "luminous material" screen features "1-nit low brightness" tech, promising a comfortable viewing experience in dark environments.

With these upgrades over the X200 lineup (12/256 GB Pro curr. $741.06 on TradingShenzhen), Vivo claims that the X300 series will be the "strongest Apple alternative" in the Android space. More details about the upcoming flagships are expected to be revealed in the coming days.
