The upcoming vivo X300 Ultra is already shaping up to be one of the most ambitious camera phones of the year, and a new leak is now shedding light on one of its key lenses, the ultrawide camera. If the details are accurate, vivo’s next flagship could push its photography setup even further into professional territory.
According to a recent report, the X300 Ultra is expected to feature a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera using Sony’s LYT-828 sensor. The sensor is rumored to measure around 1/1.28 inches, which is considerably larger than most ultrawide sensors used in smartphones today.
A bigger sensor typically translates to better low-light performance, improved dynamic range, and sharper images, particularly for landscape and group shots; areas where ultrawide cameras are most often used.
Leaks also suggest the lens could have a 13mm focal length equivalent, allowing it to capture an expansive field of view for ultra-wide photos and videos.
The ultrawide camera won’t be working alone. Rumors indicate the X300 Ultra could pack one of the most powerful mobile camera systems yet. The expected configuration includes:
- 200MP Sony LYT-901 main camera with a near 1-inch sensor
- 200MP Samsung HPB periscope telephoto camera
- 50MP Sony LYT-828 ultrawide camera
- 5MP multispectral sensor for color accuracy
If true, this would make the X300 Ultra one of the rare smartphones to feature two 200-megapixel sensors, a move clearly aimed at competing with other high-end camera-focused flagships expected in 2026.
vivo has been heavily investing in mobile photography, often working closely with optics specialist ZEISS for lens tuning and image processing. The X300 Ultra continues that strategy, and early demonstrations even showcased optional camera accessories like a 400mm telephoto extender and a professional camera cage for creators.
These add-ons suggest that vivo is positioning the device not just as a smartphone but as a hybrid tool for photography and videography enthusiasts.
While vivo has yet to confirm the full specifications, other leaks hint at flagship-grade hardware across the board, potentially including a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, a 2K LTPO display, and a battery around 7,000mAh.
