Vivo has brought its top-tier flagship, the Vivo X300 Ultra, to India, over a month after its debut in China. The phone arrives alongside the X300 FE, but this is clearly the no-compromise model aimed at users who care about performance and, more importantly, photography.
It sits at the very top of Vivo’s lineup in India and leans heavily into its camera-first positioning.
Price And Availability
The Vivo X300 Ultra is priced at Rs. 1,59,999 for the single variant with 16GB RAM and 512GB storage. It comes in Eclipse Black and Victory Green colour options.
Pre-orders are already live via Vivo’s official store, Amazon, and Flipkart. Sales begin May 14 across both online and offline retail channels including Croma, Reliance Digital, and Vijay Sales.
Vivo is also pushing accessories hard this time. The Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra and Imaging Grip Kit are sold separately, while bundled kits like the Photographer Kit combine these with additional lenses for users who want a more camera-like experience.
Display And Performance
The phone features a large 6.82-inch AMOLED display with a 2K resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate. It also supports HDR and offers a high screen-to-body ratio, so it clearly ticks all the flagship display boxes.
Under the hood, it runs on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, paired with an Adreno 840 GPU and Vivo’s own imaging chip. You also get up to 16GB LPDDR5x RAM and fast UFS 4.1 storage, which puts it firmly in ultra-premium territory.
Camera System Is The Real Focus
This is where Vivo is clearly trying to stand out. The X300 Ultra packs a Zeiss-tuned triple camera setup with a 200-megapixel primary sensor, a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lens, and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
The telephoto system supports 3.7x optical zoom and goes up to 105x digitally, while video recording goes up to 8K on the rear cameras. On the front, there’s a 50-megapixel camera capable of 4K video.
The additional accessories, including telephoto extenders and grip kits, push the phone closer to a hybrid between a smartphone and a dedicated camera setup.
Battery And Extras
The Vivo X300 Ultra packs a 6,600mAh battery with support for 100W wired and 40W wireless charging. Connectivity includes 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, and more.
At 232g, it’s not exactly light, but that’s expected given the hardware packed inside.
What This Phone Really Is
The Vivo X300 Ultra isn’t trying to be subtle. It’s built for users who want top-tier specs, but more importantly, those who care about mobile photography at a serious level. The pricing reflects that ambition, and whether it works in India will likely come down to how much users value that camera experience.
