First Vivo X300 Ultra hands-on video released
Going one step further, well-known YouTuber Ben Sin became the first international reviewer to discuss his hands-on impressions of the 2026 Zeiss-branded camera flagship, though Vivo appears to have prevented him from disclosing detailed specifications – likely because the device is not set to release in China until later this month, with a global launch expected in April 2026.
In the short video, Ben demonstrated the teleconverter, officially branded “Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra”, and confirmed a 17x zoom that optically extends the X300 Ultra’s telephoto lens from 85 mm to 400 mm. Paired with the teleconverter, the X300 Ultra can achieve 800 mm using in-sensor cropping while maintaining very usable image quality – a focal range unmatched by any current smartphone. It remains unclear whether more information, including photos taken without the camera kit, will be revealed during Mobile World Congress.
