MWC was last week, and vivo used the opportunity to talk up its upcoming X300 Ultra flagship. Like the vivo X300 Pro before it, the X300 Ultra’s got a real focus on mobile imaging, with some cool external lens accessories and support for the Samsung-developed Advanced Professional Video codec. The phone’s primary camera is also debuting a new 200-megapixel Sony-made sensor — and it comes with a couple of specs I’m very jealous of as a mobile photography enthusiast in the US.
That 200MP number is eye-catching, but it’s not wholly unique; Samsung’s Ultra phones have had 200MP primary cameras since 2023. More importantly to me, the X300 Ultra’s primary camera sensor is huge for a smartphone at 1/1.12 inches, 16% larger than both the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s and the Pixel 10 Pro’s.
