Hot on our radar now is the upcoming vivo X300 Ultra, which has been confirmed to launch globally. We\u2019ve also recently learnt that it will support the APV codec and be the first phone to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/vivo-x300-ultra-camera-details-3647073\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sony\u2019s new 200MP LYTIA 901 camera sensor<\/a> for its primary camera. Now, vivo has officially confirmed more details about the phone\u2019s camera setup, this time detailing the impressive OIS capabilities of the telephoto camera.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_wm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Ag\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_738_google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Ag\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768240152_238_google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>vivo\u2019s Product Manager Han Boxiao has shared more details on <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/status\/5273415113507307\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Weibo<\/a> about the upcoming vivo X300 Ultra\u2019s telephoto camera. The vivo X300 Ultra will come with a fifth-generation Samsung HP0-based 200MP sensor, co-engineered with ZEISS. This camera will also leverage vivo\u2019s BlueImage tech to improve color accuracy, autofocus performance, power efficiency, and HDR capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>Further, this ultra-large sensor telephoto lens will be paired with 3\u00b0 optical image stabilization (OIS). He has also shared a video showing how the lens can move significantly, demonstrating \u201cgimbal-level\u201d image stabilization that is visible to the naked eye!<\/p>\n<p>Han says that traditional telephoto OIS only reached 0.7\u00b0 to 1\u00b0 of movement cancellation (stabilization), while the vivo X200 Ultra reaches 1.2\u00b0, making it industry-leading. The X300 Ultra offers nearly a three-fold improvement over competitors and a two-fold improvement over vivo\u2019s own class-leading phone. This is so good that it achieves\u00a0the industry\u2019s highest CIPA 7.0 professional-grade image stabilization, a level typically found only in professional cameras.<\/p>\n<p>For a telephoto camera aiming to capture photos at a longer distance, this level of image stabilization allows for longer, more stable exposures. This helps capture more light and makes higher-magnification zoom photos easier to click for average users. The benefits extend from telephoto photos to videos, with the telephoto camera now supporting improved focus tracking at up to 60 fps.<\/p>\n<p>The OIS benefits extend to longer teleconverter focal lengths, such as 200mm and 400mm. vivo has confirmed that the X300 Ultra will launch with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/vivo-x300-ultra-16x-lens-3645490\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">400mm (~16.6x zoom) add-on lens<\/a>, so the increased telephoto OIS movement will be much appreciated by those who also buy the new telephoto extender.<\/p>\n<p>vivo hasn\u2019t shared a launch date for the X300 Ultra. Given that the company is now officially revealing details about the phone, we expect it to launch in China soon, followed by a global release in the coming weeks or months.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
