TL;DR

• Vivo has launched the X300 and X300 Pro globally with new ZEISS-branded camera hardware and OriginOS 6.
• The X300 Pro is the higher-end model, offering a 200MP ZEISS APO telephoto camera and a larger battery.
• The X300 starts at €1,049 (~$1,215), while the X300 Pro will cost €1,399 (~$1,620)

This yeah, vivo is marking its 30th anniversary with two new flagships, the X300 and X300 Pro, and the highlights are simple: 200MP ZEISS imaging across the board, plus a fresh global debut for OriginOS 6. The formula here isn’t shock value; it’s a focused push on photography, performance, and long-term software support that reads like a confident year-over-year step rather than a gamble.

Both phones lean hard on ZEISS hardware and tuning, but they take different routes to get there. The X300 pairs a 200MP Ultra-Sensing Hwcked main camera with a 50MP ZEISS APO telephoto (LYT-602) and a 50MP ultrawide (JN1). The Pro flips things for telephoto fans, using a 200MP ZEISS APO telephoto as its centerpiece, backed by a 50MP “gimbal-grade” main camera (vivo × Sony LYT-828, 1/1.28-inch) and a 50MP ultrawide. Both phones also upgrade the selfie system with a 50MP ZEISS wide-angle front camera with autofocus.
