Vivo today (May 14) launched its latest additions to the X300 smartphone lineup, with the top-of-the-line X300 Ultra and more budget-friendly X300 FE.
The Vivo X300 Ultra has a 6.82in Amoled display capable of up to a 144Hz refresh rate, but the real star of the show has to be its Zeiss-powered camera setup.
On the back is a triple camera setup featuring two 200-megapixel sensors, one wide main shooter and another periscope telephoto camera, along with a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. All three feature optical image stabilisation.
Those looking to further augment their photo-taking experience can consider adding on the Photographer Kit, which includes an attachable grip that provides more camera-like ergonomics. The grip also has a built-in 2300mAh battery to extend shooting time.
Also included in the kit are a shoulder strap, a Tripod Collar Ring for mounting the X300 Ultra on a tripod, and two vivo Zeiss Telephoto Extenders offering 200mm- and 400mm-equivalent focal lengths.
Meanwhile, when it comes to selfies, the X300 Ultra has a 50-megapixel wide-angle hole-punch camera sitting at the top of the screen.
Keeping the device and its Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor powered is a 6,600mAh battery, which charges at 100W wired and 40W wireless.
Other features include an under-screen fingerprint reader, IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance, along with the promise of five years' worth of operating system upgrades and seven years' worth of security updates.
The Vivo X300 Ultra comes in Steppe Green and Volcano Black, with two storage configurations: 32GB RAM paired with either 512GB (RM6,799) or 1TB (RM7,799) of internal storage.
Those interested can also opt to get a bundle with the 1TB storage configuration and the Photographer Kit, priced at RM9,999.
Pre-orders for the device are open until May 22, and come with a RM900 rebate, a tripod worth RM299, an extended warranty valued at RM2,099, and a 30% purchase-with-purchase discount on a standalone Zeiss Telephoto Extender.
Launching alongside it is the Vivo X300 FE, equipped with a 6.31in screen capable of up to a 120Hz refresh rate and a camera system similarly powered by Zeiss.
The triple camera setup on the back features a 50-megapixel main wide-angle shooter, a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera.
There's also a 50-megapixel wide-angle hole-punch camera on the front.
Like the Ultra model, the FE has the option to add on a 200mm focal length equivalent Zeiss Telephoto Extender for more photography flexibility.
Under the hood, the device has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor, with a 6,500mAh battery that charges at 90W wired and 40W wireless.
Like the Ultra model, it also has IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance, an under-screen fingerprint reader, and promises five years' worth of operating system upgrades and seven years' worth of security updates.
The Vivo X300 FE comes in three colours: Luxe Black, Glow White, and Mist Purple and is available with 24GB RAM with the choice of either 256GB (RM3,299) or 512GB (RM3,899) internal storage.
There's also the option to grab a bundle with a Photographer Kit, priced at RM4,298 (256GB) or RM4,898 (512GB), which includes a Telephoto Extender.
Pre-orders are open until May 22, with customers who purchase early being eligible for an RM300 rebate, along with freebies like a JBL speaker (worth RM299), Vivo Buds Pro (worth RM199), and an extended warranty (worth RM1,099).
