Anne, Marian star in vivo X300 Ultra camera showdown

 

 The new vivo X300 Ultra proved that smartphone photography can now rival professional cameras during a live fashion shoot led by renowned celebrity and fashion photographer BJ Pascual at Manila House.

Hosted by Joey Mead King and held in front of Manila’s tastemakers and notable personalities, including Georgina Wilson, Bea Soriano, and Eric Dee Jr., the showcase highlighted the imaging power of the vivo X300 Ultra beside a professional mirrorless camera setup.

The live shoot featured vivo ambassadors Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera as subjects, while BJ Pascual captured photos using both devices.

For his mirrorless setup, Pascual used three different lenses. In contrast, the vivo X300 Ultra delivered the same creative flexibility through its dual 200MP Triple ZEISS Master Lenses system, which includes:

 

35mm ZEISS Documentary Camera, and

85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera.

Beyond photography, the vivo X300 Ultra also showcased advanced filmmaking capabilities. All cameras on the device support 4K 120fps 10-bit LOG video and Dolby Vision recording. These features give creators greater control in color grading, slow-motion capture and cinematic storytelling, making the device suitable for professional shoots, fashion reels, and digital filmmaking.

While the camera system is built for professionals, vivo emphasizes that the X300 Ultra is also designed for everyday users who want premium-quality content without the complexity of traditional camera equipment.

For Marian Rivera, the device fits naturally into her lifestyle and creative process.

“Super love ko talaga ang vivo X300 Ultra. Kaya niyang sumabay sa lifestyle and creativity ko. Kahit anong i-shoot ko na content or everyday moments, ang dali niyang gamitin. Very premium talaga siya, at saka cinematic result talaga,” she said.

Rivera also praised the smartphone’s clarity and zoom capabilities. “Kahit naka zoom na, sobrang clear pa rin,” she added.

Meanwhile, Anne Curtis highlighted the importance of detail and storytelling in fashion and content creation.

“When it comes to fashion and style, it's so important to have a camera that shows the detail. That's why I think this is perfect,” Curtis shared.

Today at MWC 2026, vivo officially unveiled the groundbreaking video capabilities of its all-new flagship X300 Ultra, a device engineered to push the boundaries of mobile videography.

X300 Ultra Showcased Cinematic Video Creation Capabilities

Redefining Professional Video Creation with Cinematic Mastery

The X300 Ultra delivers high-spec video recording on all rear cameras, supporting multi-focal 4K 120fps in both 10-bit Log and Dolby Vision. Whether capturing expansive landscapes with an ultra-wide-angle lens or intricate close-ups with a telephoto lens, it provides a consistent and top-tier dynamic imaging experience. Its stabilization performance is equally impressive, featuring full-range OIS with particularly exceptional results at the 85mm focal length, incorporating 3° OIS. This provides creators with an ultra-stable, fast, and crystal-clear solution for cinematic quality, further solidifying X300 Ultra’s professional video prowess across various scenarios.

The X300 Ultra elevates professional imaging to new heights with multi-focal 4K Master Color Video. By merging high-resolution recording with vivo’s sophisticated color science, the device delivers film-like color performance straight out of the camera through end-to-end tone enhancement. The versatile Video Color Palette offers detailed control over tone, saturation, and contrast, empowering creators with the ability to fine-tune every aspect of their footage—from initial capture to post-production—for unparalleled color freedom.

Another significant breakthrough in the X300 Ultra's video capabilities is its pro-grade Log recording on all rear cameras. The device supports 4K 120fps 10-bit Log at multiple focal lengths, ensuring creators consistently enjoy 10-bit color depth and an expansive dynamic range—whether using the ultra-wide, main, or telephoto cameras. The All-New Pro Video Mode takes it a step further, offering a control interface and parameter adjustments akin to professional cinema cameras, further empowering professional creation. The monitoring feature has also been upgraded, supporting the application of custom 3D LUTs for real-time previewing while recording in Log. In addition, vivo Log is now compatible with the ACES workflow. This enables Log footage to be seamlessly integrated and color-graded alongside cinema camera assets within a unified, standardized color space, establishing a comprehensive and open mobile imaging ecosystem that spans from pre-production to post-production.

Sound is treated as an integral part of storytelling. The X300 Ultra features an upgraded Quad-Mic Audio Recording Master. Designed to adapt to diverse shooting environments, it includes six core preset scenarios that intelligently emphasize target sound sources while suppressing ambient noise. This ensures creators capture clean, clear audio that perfectly complements the visual quality of their footage.

A Complete Professional Creation Ecosystem Without Compromise

The X300 Ultra's video capabilities represent a leap from standalone imaging to a comprehensive cinematic system. The device supports a modular suite of cinema-grade accessories—including a Professional Photography Grip, Camera Cage, Cooling Fan, and External Lens Expansion Frame—transforming the device into a highly configurable rig capable of meeting the rigors of high-end production. 

Beyond hardware, vivo has optimized the creative workflow through deep R&D investment and collaboration with industry leaders. This comprehensive creative ecosystem spans the entire production pipeline—from shooting and monitoring to audio and post-production—delivering a seamless end-to-end production solution for professional video creators.

The X300 Ultra marks a significant milestone in vivo's effort to bring cinematic video capabilities to smartphones.
