TL;DR
- The vivo X300 Ultra is expected to keep a large 14mm ultrawide sensor similar to the X200 Ultra, rather than switching to the newer Sony LYT-828.
- That sensor is big enough to rival the main cameras on many smartphones, helping deliver cleaner low-light shots and better dynamic range.
- The ultrawide camera is tipped to feature 50MP resolution with a 14mm focal length.
Vivo’s next Ultra flagship is shaping up to be anything but subtle. The upcoming vivo X300 Ultra is already confirmed to have an impressive zoom, and a recent Weibo post hints that its ultrawide camera could be just as remarkable.
While most phone makers see the ultrawide camera as secondary, vivo is taking a different approach. According to details shared by vivo’s product manager, Han Boxiao, on Weibo, the X300 Ultra will keep its 14mm ultrawide camera with a large Sony LYT-818 sensor, following the approach used in last year’s X200 Ultra. Rather than switching to the newer Sony LYT-828 sensor, vivo seems to be using the same sensor that performed well in the previous model.
