Vivo X300 Leaks: A 200MP Main Camera and Powerful Periscope Telephoto Sensor Incoming
Vivo’s “X” series has long been a benchmark for smartphone photography, and the upcoming Vivo X300 is poised too continue this legacy with notable camera upgrades. Following the launch of the Vivo X200 series last October, a fresh leak has just provided key details about the camera sensors in the upcoming Vivo X300, the base model in Vivo’s next-generation lineup.
For years, Vivo’s “X” series has been known for its strong camera capabilities. The latest leak hints at an X300 continuing that tradition with some nice improvements.
200MP Main Camera Sensor for the Vivo X300
One area where the current base Vivo X200 could see enhancement is its main sensor size. While capable, it isn’t as large as some competitors or even other models within its own series. The latest leak points directly to a welcome upgrade in this very aspect. According to reliable tipster @nakajimegame on X/Twitter, the Vivo X300 will feature a massive 200MP main camera sensor. This sensor is reportedly a Samsung ISOCELL model, likely under their ”HPB” branding. It will have a good 1/1.4-inch size. The tipster suggests it’s an “HP9 derivative,” meaning it could share many core specifications with this sensor.
For reference, the current Vivo X200 uses a 50MP main camera sensor with a 1/1.56-inch size. So, we see a big leap not only in megapixel count but, more importantly, in sensor size. This generally translates to better light gathering and image quality, especially in challenging conditions.
the leak doesn’t stop there. The Vivo X300 is also expected to include a 50MP periscope telephoto sensor with a 1/1.95-inch size. This particular sensor could be a Sony IMX882 or LYT600.
A Powerful Camera Phone
A previous report suggested that the Vivo X300 is powered by the Dimensity 9500 chip. So, not only does it excel in photography, but it could also be a real powerhouse.
Official details about the Vivo X300 series launch date are still under wraps. Though, given the background, it could happen sometime in October. The base Vivo X300 might arrive alongside the Vivo X300 Pro, whose specs remain a secret for now. A more premium and even more powerful “Vivo X300 Ultra” is also a possibility, although it might arrive later in 2026.
If these improvements are true, even the base version of the X300 series will offer powerful photography capabilities. This starts hype for the potential camera improvements that the “Ultra” variant could bring to the smartphone lineup. Hopefully, more details will emerge soon.
