I examined the Vivo X300 Professional cameraphone in November 2025 and cherished its general efficiency and its enormous removable zoom lens. At Cell World Congress 2026, the corporate is again with the X300 Extremely, a digital camera telephone aimed squarely at video producers desirous to take the movie-making world by storm. I bought to take a detailed take a look at the telephone on the MWC present flooring, however Vivo is holding a whole lot of details about it secret, together with the worth and availability. However there are a number of bits of gold I used to be capable of mine.
The X300 Extremely can have an identical trio of cameras because the Professional mannequin I examined final yr and can help the identical large telephoto lens, besides you may also get it with a good greater lens providing as much as 800mm equal focal lengths which ought to make this a beast for sport or wildlife images the place you do not wish to get too near the motion.
This digital camera grip will make holding the telephone rather more comfy.
General digital camera specs aren’t clear, however Vivo has spoken about its video credentials. First, it helps recording at 4K decision and at 120 frames per second from all of its cameras, not simply the principle digital camera. It additionally shoots in 10-bit Log and Dolby Imaginative and prescient, which ought to enable for vast dynamic vary within the video information and far simpler shade grading in submit manufacturing. To assist in shade grading, you may load LUTs (principally shade filters the video execs use) onto the telephone to preview the look as you are capturing. That is a useful addition and one thing extra generally discovered on pro-level video screens.
In its press launch, Vivo talked about its shade science and higher potential to paint stability footage from the telephone with footage from common cinema cameras, one thing I struggled with after I not too long ago put the iPhone 17 Professional in opposition to an expert cinema setup. The telephone additionally options superior stabilization and higher microphones for greater high quality audio, though when you’re that bothered about cinematic high quality you will virtually actually be utilizing exterior stabilisation (like a gimbal or a tripod) and definitely exterior microphones.
If you wish to apply it to a correct manufacturing set, possibly it is advisable to rig it up on a tripod like this.
To that finish, Vivo additionally confirmed the telephone off with a bunch of equipment from Smallrig, together with a cage for mounting equipment like handles, lights and microphones, which had been all current and proper on the fashions I noticed. Whereas Vivo mentioned these are a part of the telephone’s ecosystem, they’re all generally out there parts from SmallRig (albeit with Vivo branding) so I am unsure whether or not there’s something bespoke for the telephone right here.
I am wanting ahead to seeing extra from this telephone and definitely eager to get it into my arms to see what kind of video high quality I can get from it. As a YouTube creator, I am at all times looking out for methods to up my manufacturing high quality with out carrying heavy gear, and the X300 Extremely may be the telephone I would like. That, or the wild robotic telephone from Honor.
