Not only has the company closed the gap with top-tier camera flagships, but it has also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/vivo-x300-ultra-camera-35mm-jealous-3647403\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">out-innovated several of them<\/a>. With the upcoming vivo X300 Ultra, vivo aims to create the ultimate camera flagship, featuring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/vivo-x300-ultra-ultrawide-sensor-details-confirmed-3647903\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">specifications that put it at the top of the pack<\/a>. Today, the company has shared some of the software innovations it is packing into the vivo X300 Ultra, and it seems it\u2019s going for iPhone\u2019s video-recording crown.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_nm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_lg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>vivo\u2019s Product Manager Han Boxiao has shared on <a href=\"https:\/\/m.weibo.cn\/status\/5277041507438015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Weibo<\/a> that the vivo X300 Ultra will upgrade from the X200 Ultra\u2019s 4K 60fps Log video recording to 4K 120fps Log video recording. Further, this will be supported across all three of the phone\u2019s rear lenses.<\/p>\n<p>The executive has also announced that the vivo X300 Ultra will feature a more intuitive Pro video mode with professional Log control. The phone will also be able to load 3D LUT previews during Log recording and allow color tones to be checked in real time.<\/p>\n<p>For the cherry on top, the vivo X300 Ultra will also support\u00a0the APV 422 codec, offering a wider color space in post-production and near-professional camera recording quality. It\u2019s also compatible with the ACES professional post-production workflow, allowing Log footage to be directly integrated and color-graded alongside professional cameras.<\/p>\n<p>APV is a visually lossless video codec developed by Samsung and also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-apv-video-support-3643916\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">used on the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>. The codec is meant for professional video capture and workflows. Samsung previously claimed that APV video maintains the same quality after repeated edits. APV also offers storage savings of up to 20% compared to the current High Efficiency Video Codec (HEVC).<\/p>\n<p>Coupled with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/vivo-x300-ultra-16x-lens-3645490\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">400mm telephoto convertor kit and a Smallrig cage<\/a>, the vivo X300 Ultra is shaping up to be an incredibly powerful and versatile camera phone. Would all of its capabilities be enough to dethrone the iPhone as the video recording champion? We\u2019ll have to wait for the phone\u2019s launch, but we\u2019re keeping our fingers crossed.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
