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.

In a crowd that large, not every moment happens within arm’s reach. The performers are on elevated stages, the fireworks burst far above the skyline, and the countdown clock feels just out of view. But that night, the vivo X300 Series changed how the celebration was seen.

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.

When midnight arrived, fireworks lit up the BGC skyline, signaling the start of a new year. From sweeping views of the crowd to tight frames of bursts in the night sky, the vivo X300 Series captured it all, proving that even distant moments can be seen up close.

New Year’s Eve is about looking ahead, but it’s also about remembering how it felt when the year turned. At NYE at the 5th 2025, the vivo X300 Series made it possible to hold on to every moment, near or far, exactly as it happened.

Starting at Php 67,999, the vivo X300 Series is available in vivo concept stores nationwide and online via the vivo e-store and Shopee. Capture your 2026 closer with vivo X300 Series!

From Christmas dinners to New Year countdowns, smartphones fill up fast with photos, videos, and memories waiting to be passed around.

vivo X300 Series Photo Contest winner shows power of telephoto storytelling

 

vivo Philippines turned zoom into spotlight at the vivo X300 Series Launch Photo Contest, a competition that challenged guests to tell powerful stories using only the flagship’s 200MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera during the launch event. With intention, emotion, and striking contrast at the core of his frame, multimedia producer Bryan Aliwalas emerged as the grand winner, proving that distance is not a limitation, it’s a new perspective waiting to be captured. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=1125229609777120&set=a.606217685011651 The contest kicked off live on November 26 during the vivo X300 Series Launch, where Photography Masterclass speaker and judge Jan Mayo reviewed all submissions and selected the Top 3 finalists based on telephoto creativity and storytelling. The top 3 then moved online for a 3-day public voting period on vivo's official Facebook page, where the winner was determined by the highest combined reach and engagement. It was during this stage that Bryan’s 15x zoom photo of a spotlight-lit wall artwork captured the audience’s attention and earned him the top spot. Judge Jan Mayo, commended Bryan’s photo: “When we say telephoto, it offers a new perspective of something unknown or far away. The black area emphasizes what’s in the middle, making the vibrance and contrast truly stand out.'’ Winner’s Insight: Seeing Far, Feeling Close Bryan said, “At first, I took photos of subjects close to me, and they turned out great. But I wanted to challenge myself, and of course the phone, so I decided to capture something far from my position. I noticed an artwork on the wall illuminated by the event lights, zoomed in to around 15x, found the right angle, and took the shot. The vivo X300 handled it perfectly and delivered a clear, detailed photo.” “I also paid close attention to Jan Mayo’s talk and the sample photos he showed that were taken with the vivo X300 Pro. When I later noticed the artwork highlighted by a spotlight, it immediately struck me as the perfect subject,” he added. As part of vivo’s appreciation for creative excellence, Bryan will receive the flagship smartphone, vivo X300. He was on a drive to Tagaytay City when he found out about his win from his girlfriend, making the moment even more memorable.
