vivo X300 Pro's Photographer Kit: Edge or Extra?

The vivo X300 Pro has earned its reputation as the Telephoto King, powered by the 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, a lens that captures distant scenes with striking clarity and depth. This camera has already proven its strength on the global stage, earning a top score in DxOMark’s telephoto evaluation, positioning the device as a benchmark others now aim to match.

The phone supports 85mm optical zoom, but when paired with the vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit, co-engineered by vivo and ZEISS, its digital zoom reach stretches up to 5400mm, opening new possibilities for photographers who want more creative freedom without carrying traditional camera gear.

Crafted with ZEISS for clarity beyond the horizon

The vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender is based on a Keplerian optical structure composed of 13 high-transmittance lens elements arranged in three groups, including three ultra-low dispersion glass elements that reduce chromatic aberration and refine image accuracy. 

Its large-aperture objective lens enhances light intake, allowing clearer captures even when shooting farther or in challenging conditions.

“The telephoto extender gives photographers a powerful option to explore detail at scale, while keeping the experience mobile, intuitive, and exciting,” said Liu Lu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines.

Designed for control, built for endurance

To complement the X300 Pro’s imaging strength, vivo also introduced the vivo PGYTECH Imaging Grip Kit, giving photographers and creators improved ergonomics and camera-style physical controls in one compact accessory.

The kit includes a tailored phone case, neck strap, filter adapter ring, quick-release hooks, and the imaging grip, which doubles as a power bank to support longer shoots without interruptions.

The grip features a physical zoom lever and a control dial to adjust exposure, along with a video recording button, charging button, and a multi-function shutter button that supports half-press to focus, focus and exposure lock, burst shooting, and quick single-press capture. This makes it a practical tool for vloggers capturing travel clips, portrait shooters fine-tuning focus before the shot, and sports creators documenting fast-moving moments at basketball courts, concerts, and celebrations.

“We know creators shoot in movement, emotion, and spontaneity,” Liu Lu shared. “This grip was built for them from steadier handling to longer shoots, smarter control, and more confidence in every capture.”

Edge or extra?

The Photographer Kit accessories were designed with different users in mind, but with one shared purpose: to elevate mobile imaging without complicating the process. 

The telephoto extender is for photographers who want to capture subjects at extreme distances, whether it’s nature, city skylines, architecture, or live events. 

The imaging grip is for creators who want physical control, stability, and longer battery endurance, especially those producing lifestyle, portrait, or sports content where precision and pacing matter.

Both kits are sold separately, allowing users to choose the accessory that best supports their shooting style. The vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit is available for Php 12,999, while the vivo PGYTECH Imaging Grip Kit retails for Php 7,999 in vivo concept stores nationwide. The vivo X300 Pro is also sold separately at Php 79,999, which you can buy online via the vivo e-store and Shopee.

vivo X300 Pro excels in DxOMark Camera Test, scores 171

The vivo X300 Pro has achieved exceptional results in the latest DxOMark Camera Test, earning a global score of 171 and establishing itself as one of the world’s most capable smartphone imaging systems. 

The test also highlights the X300 Pro’s performance edge over vivo’s previous imaging flagship, the vivo X200 Ultra, which scored 169 in the same category, demonstrating vivo’s ongoing commitment to leading mobile photography innovation.

Grabbed from DxOMark's vivo X300 Pro Camera test report

“The vivo X300 Pro is a very solid device for photo enthusiasts, delivering good image quality in most situations,” DxOMark stated in its official camera test report. “Color rendering is often pleasing, combined with accurate exposure and a high level of detail capture, resulting in a natural overall rendering."

“To receive such strong acknowledgment from DxOMark reflects our dedication to elevating smartphone imaging capabilities,” said Liu Lu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines. “We are proud that Filipino users can enjoy this level of performance right in their hands, helping them capture life’s moments with clarity and confidence.”

Strong results across photo, bokeh, zoom, and video

The DxOMark Camera Test evaluates devices across a wide range of imaging parameters, including exposure, color, detail preservation, noise, dynamic range, zoom, and stabilization, both in lab and real-world conditions. The vivo X300 Pro excelled in key areas, producing images with accurate and stable target exposure, a wide dynamic range, and very pleasant skin tone rendering with neutral white balance.

DxOMark’s report notes that the camera system “provides accurate and stable target exposure in most situations, combined with a wide dynamic range that allows the device to handle high-contrast scenes well, both in still images and videos.”

Shot by DxOMark using vivo X300 Pro

The review highlights that the X300 Pro’s imaging system “manages to keep a high level of fine details in all lighting conditions, with nearly no visible noise in photos, even in difficult lighting environments.” This earned the vivo X300 Pro DxOMark’s top score in the lowlight category, proving its strength in clarity and noise control.

In a separate milestone, the vivo X300 Pro also ranked first in DxOMark’s zoom category, driven by the optical reach and resolution of the 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, reinforcing its title as the Telephoto King in smartphone imaging.

Its bokeh performance also earned a top DxOMark score, driven by strong subject segmentation and depth estimation that create a natural, well-layered background blur. The vivo X300 Pro enhances portraits with depth that feels true to the moment, avoiding artificial overprocessing while keeping subjects sharp, clean, and vividly defined.

Video quality that keeps pace

The DxOMark report also evaluated the X300 Pro’s video performance, noting attributes such as stabilization, dynamic range, and color rendering. The camera system delivered efficient video stabilization, smooth exposure transitions, and accurate skin tone rendering under varied lighting conditions, making it a reliable choice for creators, storytellers, and everyday users alike.

“Videos are just as important as photos, and we’re thrilled that the X300 Pro delivers versatility in both formats,” Liu Lu added. “This makes the device a strong tool for content creators, vloggers, and anyone who wants to document life in motion with quality and confidence.”

Pushing smartphone imaging forward

The latest DxOMark results place the vivo X300 Pro near the top of the global camera rankings, demonstrating how vivo continues to push the boundaries of computational imaging and optical hardware integration. 

While the test acknowledges areas where future improvements could be made, the overall performance underscores the strength and versatility of the X300 Pro’s camera system.

NYE at the 5th seen up-close with vivo X300 Series

 

New Year’s Eve has a way of pulling people together. On December 31, thousands gathered at NYE at the 5th in Bonifacio Global City (BGC), waiting for the final seconds of the year 2025 with phones in hand, eyes on the stage, and hearts set on new beginnings.

vivo X300 Series brought it all closer

As live performances filled the air, the vivo X300’s 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera captured artists like KZ Tandingan and TJ Monterde mid-song, G22 dancers in motion, and every movement of Apl de Ap that usually disappears into the lights from afar. 

Close-up shots revealed details often missed in a packed crowd, the intensity on a singer’s face, and the movement of hands during Dionela's guitar solo. It felt less like standing at the back and more like being right on stage with them.

Zooming in on the lead

The night was more than performances; it was about the shared experience. With a simple zoom, the vivo X300 Series captured candid performances of Parokya ni Edgar live on stage. 

Two photos highlight the difference the Telephoto King makes: one from afar showing the full band on stage, and a second zoomed-in shot of Chito Miranda, revealing expression and stage presence otherwise lost in the distance.
