Vivo X300 Ultra is a ridiculously overpowered cameraphone

Vivo isn’t kidding when it comes to taking videos with your phone. The company’s new phone, shown for the first time in Barcelona at MWC, is the Vivo X300 Ultra, and you only need one look at it to know what it’s about.

At its booth at MWC, Vivo actually set up a small studio in which you could take a video using the phone inside a pro camera rig, and the phone was mostly displayed inside a similar rig. But even without it, the 400mm lens it packs is imposing (and very pocket-unfriendly).

The camera rig, should you opt for something like that, comes with a cooling fan, a grip, and a cold shoe mount for mics and lighting.

Lights…camera…action!

Vivo hasn’t actually launched the X300 Ultra yet, which is why we couldn’t get exact specs for the phone. Just about the only thing that’s confirmed is a 200-megapixel telephoto camera, and that 400mm lens which equals roughly 17.3x optical zoom.

The Vivo X300 Ultra will launch in China later this month, with a global launch following in April. Details about pricing haven’t been revealed at this time.
