I examined the Vivo X300 Pro cameraphone in November 2025 and liked its general efficiency and its big removable zoom lens. At Mobile World Congress 2026, the corporate is again with the X300 Extremely, a digital camera cellphone aimed squarely at video producers desirous to take the movie-making world by storm. I bought to take an in depth take a look at the cellphone on the MWC show floor, however Vivo is preserving a variety of details about it secret, together with the worth and availability. However there are just a few bits of gold I used to be capable of mine.
The X300 Extremely may have the same trio of cameras because the Professional mannequin I examined final 12 months and can assist the identical large telephoto lens, besides you can even get it with an excellent larger 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 cellphone way 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 permit for extensive dynamic vary within the video recordsdata and far simpler shade grading in put up manufacturing. To assist in shade grading, you possibly can load LUTs (mainly shade filters the video professionals use) onto the cellphone to preview the look as you are capturing. That is a useful addition and one thing extra generally discovered on pro-level video displays.
In its press launch, Vivo talked about its shade science and higher means to paint stability footage from the cellphone with footage from common cinema cameras, one thing I struggled with after I lately put the iPhone 17 Professional towards an expert cinema setup. The cellphone additionally options superior stabilization and higher microphones for increased high quality audio, though when you’re that bothered about cinematic high quality you may virtually definitely be utilizing exterior stabilisation (like a gimbal or a tripod) and positively exterior microphones.
If you wish to apply it to a correct manufacturing set, perhaps you want to rig it up on a tripod like this.
To that finish, Vivo additionally confirmed the cellphone 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 cellphone’s ecosystem, they’re all generally out there elements from SmallRig (albeit with Vivo branding) so I am unsure whether or not there’s something bespoke for the cellphone right here.
I am wanting ahead to seeing extra from this cellphone and positively 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 all the time looking out for methods to up my manufacturing high quality with out carrying heavy gear, and the X300 Extremely may be the cellphone I would like. That, or the wild robot phone from Honor.
