The wait for Vivo’s most ambitious flagship yet might be nearly over. While Vivo has been strategically teasing the X300 Ultra, a fresh wave of rumors from China suggests the “Ultimate” camera phone will officially break cover on Monday, March 30.
If the date holds, it follows a familiar rhythm for the brand—both the X100 Ultra and X200 Ultra were unveiled on a Monday. But this time, the stakes are higher, as the X300 Ultra aims to blur the line between a smartphone and a professional DSLR.
A 200MP Powerhouse: The “Thanos” Periscope
The buzzword surrounding the X300 Ultra is “optical dominance.” Leaks suggest a camera system so powerful it’s been nicknamed “Thanos” within the industry.
- Dual 200MP Setup: The phone is expected to lead with a 200MP Sony LYT-901 main sensor and a groundbreaking 200MP Samsung HP0 periscope telephoto lens.
- The 400mm Extender: At MWC 2026, Vivo showcased a Zeiss 400mm Telephoto Extender Kit. This clip-on lens allows for a staggering 17.4x optical zoom, which can reportedly push to a 1600mm equivalent with digital cropping.
- 35mm Mastery: For fans of street photography, a dedicated 35mm focal length mode is teased to provide that classic, professional frame.
Beyond the Lens: Flagship Specs
While the camera is the star, the internal hardware is equally “Ultra.” Recent Geekbench listings and certifications (model V2562) have painted a clear picture of what’s under the hood:
| Feature | Leaked Specification |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 |
| Display | 6.82-inch 2K LTPO OLED (120Hz) |
| Battery | 7,000mAh (Silicon-Carbon) |
| Charging | 100W Wired / 40W Wireless |
| Software | Android 16 |

What Else to Expect?
The March 30 event is rumored to be a packed one. Alongside the Ultra, we might see:
- Vivo X300s: A performance-focused model (previously teased as the X300 Max) featuring a 144Hz display and the Dimensity 9500 chip.
- Vivo Pad 6 Pro: A flagship-tier tablet powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite.
- Zeiss Camera Cage: A “pro-grade” accessory with hand grips, cooling fans, and cold shoe mounts for serious mobile videographers.
With global certifications already appearing, the X300 Ultra is likely to leave China for international markets (including India) as early as Q2 2026. If you’ve been holding out for the ultimate zoom experience, the end of this month could be the moment you’ve been waiting for.
