Vivo X300 Ultra

Vivo X300 Ultra Features & Price in Kenya

The Vivo X300 Ultra price in Kenya is KES 188,000 with a 2-year warranty included. Announced on March 30 and released on April 3, 2026, the X300 Ultra is Vivo's most ambitious camera flagship and the first time Vivo's top-tier X-series Ultra phone has launched globally outside China. It is built around a ZEISS triple camera system with dual 200MP sensors and an industry-first modular telephoto add-on system with ZEISS optics at 200mm and 400mm focal lengths, all protected by ZEISS T* anti-reflective lens coating. The phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 on 3nm with Vivo's dedicated Pro Imaging Chip VS1+ for accelerated camera processing, delivers a 6.82-inch QHD+ LTPO AMOLED at 510 ppi with 2160Hz PWM dimming, and carries a 6,600mAh Si/C battery with 100W wired and 40W wireless charging.

Design:

The Vivo X300 Ultra design measures 163 x 76.8 x 8.2mm (glass back) or 8.5mm (other variants) and weighs 232 or 237 grams. The build uses a glass front, aluminum frame, and glass back across all colour variants. The rear is dominated by a large circular ZEISS camera module, a bold disc with polished metal rimming and ZEISS T* branding at the centre, communicating the photography focus of the device immediately. GSMArena confirmed that compared to the X200 Ultra, Vivo moved to a notably flatter design for the X300 Ultra with a wider middle frame and flatter front and back surfaces. Three colours are available: Eclipse Black, Victory Green, and Silver. The ultrasonic under-display fingerprint sensor provides reliable biometric unlocking even with wet or dirty fingers, an advantage over optical sensors in outdoor conditions. The IP68 and IP69 dual water certification covers full submersion to 1.5 metres for 30 minutes and high-pressure water jets simultaneously.

Display:

The X300 Ultra display carries a 6.82-inch LTPO AMOLED flat panel at 1440 x 3168 pixels (510 ppi) with adaptive 1 to 144Hz refresh rate, 2160Hz PWM dimming, Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HDR Vivid support. Yanko Design confirmed the display delivers 4,500 nits of local peak brightness and is bright enough for comfortable outdoor photo and video review, accurately reflecting what the cameras are capturing as a viewfinder. The 510 ppi QHD+ resolution renders the phone's own 200MP images with genuine pixel-level clarity. The 2160Hz PWM rate effectively eliminates screen flicker at all brightness levels for comfortable extended use during editing sessions. The LTPO technology drops to 1Hz for static content and scales to 144Hz for scrolling and gaming, preserving battery life across all screen states. Dolby Vision applies both in streaming playback and in the phone's native 4K 120fps video capture, creating a consistent colour experience between recording and review on the same device. Armor glass protects the front panel.

Camera:

• 200MP main camera (f/1.9, 35mm, 1/1.12-inch, 0.7µm, gimbal OIS, PDAF, Laser AF) - the gimbal OIS mechanism physically moves the 1/1.12-inch sensor inside the chassis to neutralise hand movement, rated at CIPA 7.0 on the periscope and comparable performance on the main camera. This is a stronger stabilisation approach than standard lens-shift OIS and makes the main camera particularly effective for handheld video and night photography with longer exposures. ZEISS APO standard optical calibration. Records 8K at 30fps and 4K at up to 120fps
• 200MP 3.7x periscope telephoto (f/2.7, 85mm, 1/1.4-inch, 0.56µm, multi-directional PDAF, OIS, 3.7x optical zoom, 3.4:1 macro focus) - the 3.7x optical zoom is longer than the standard 3x periscope on most competing flagships. The 1/1.4-inch sensor is large for a periscope telephoto. Multi-directional PDAF enables fast autofocus from 15cm macro distance to infinity, making the telephoto useful for close-up detail photography as well as distant subjects. ZEISS T* coating on the telephoto glass. This lens also supports the optional ZEISS teleconverter accessories (200mm and 400mm equivalents sold separately)
• 50MP ultrawide (f/2.0, 14mm, 116 degrees, 1/1.28-inch, 1.22µm, dual pixel PDAF, OIS) - OIS on the ultrawide is unusual even among flagship phones. The 1/1.28-inch sensor is large enough for strong daylight and usable low-light ultrawide photography. Dual pixel PDAF enables autofocus across the full wide-angle field of view. ZEISS T* coating
• Video: 8K at 30fps, 4K at 24/30/60/120fps (10-bit Log, Dolby Vision), 1080p up to 240fps. 3D LUT import for real-time colour grading during recording. Vivo's Pro Imaging Chip VS1+ accelerates raw processing, noise reduction, and image output speed alongside the Snapdragon chip's ISP.

ZEISS Modular Telephoto Add-On System

The X300 Ultra supports two optional ZEISS teleconverter lens accessories that physically clip onto the phone and work with the 200MP periscope camera:

• 200mm teleconverter (2.35x optical zoom, OIS, ZEISS optics) - extends the periscope to 200mm equivalent for wildlife, sports, and distant portrait photography
• 400mm teleconverter (4.7x optical zoom, OIS, ZEISS optics) - extends the periscope to 400mm equivalent, covering focal lengths typically only available on professional mirrorless camera systems with dedicated telephoto lenses. For Kenyan safari photography, birding, and wildlife documentation, this is a unique capability in a phone system

Performance:

The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 on 3nm with Adreno 840 delivers top-tier benchmark performance, with Geekbench 6 scores around 3,462 to 3,632 single-core and 10,619 to 10,733 multi-core, placing the X300 Ultra firmly in the top performance bracket. Vivo pairs the main chip with a dedicated Pro Imaging Chip VS1+, a separate processor handling image pre-processing, RAW processing, noise reduction, sharpness calculation, and dynamic range management for the camera system independently from the main Snapdragon ISP. This accelerates 200MP capture speed and high-resolution video export directly on the phone. Everyday use, app launches, multitasking, and gaming are all completely fluid. The honest limitation under sustained heavy loads is thermal throttling: under prolonged 4K 120fps recording or intensive gaming sessions, the phone gets noticeably warm and performance pulls back to manage temperatures. OriginOS 6 comes with pre-installed apps and dense settings menus that require initial configuration to clear notifications and unwanted apps but deliver a fluid and feature-rich software experience once set up.

Battery & Charging:

The X300 Ultra carries a 6,600mAh silicon-carbon battery (international variant) with 100W wired charging, 40W wireless charging, reverse wired charging, and reverse wireless charging. The Si/C cell delivers two full days of moderate daily use or one full day of intensive camera shooting and video editing work. The 100W wired charging fills the 6,600mAh cell from flat in under 35 minutes. The 40W wireless provides fast cable-free top-up on compatible pads. Both reverse charging modes allow the phone to share power with accessories and other devices from its large cell. Confirm with Smartphones Planet Kenya whether the 100W charger is included in the box with the Kenya-stocked variant, as charger inclusion varies by market.
