Even this dull official trailer can't kill my hype for the Vivo X300 Ultra
Specs trump ads.

Coming on March 30, which is precisely a week away, the Vivo X300 Ultra is one of the two flagship camera phones that mobile fans around the world are waiting for with growing impatience. The other one is the Oppo Find X9 Ultra, which is coming in April, but I'll focus on the Vivo monster right now.
There's an official Vivo X300 Ultra trailer and it's a bland one – to my eyes, at least. Personal preferences aside, there aren't many details in the short video. In fact, there are no details about the phone's camera setup like:
Instead, what we're getting in the 56-second trailer is a protagonist that wanders around in the Great Outdoors. Of course, the scenery is beautiful and haunting with its remote landscapes. We're not in the city for a reason, as this evokes some pioneering notes: here's the man who's conquering the unknown, so to say. And only the phone can help him do that.
Short video, long hype
There's an official Vivo X300 Ultra trailer and it's a bland one – to my eyes, at least. Personal preferences aside, there aren't many details in the short video. In fact, there are no details about the phone's camera setup like:
- What sensors does it use?
- What's the aperture of the main camera?
- Is that dedicated zoom really that good?
- What about video capabilities?

Next, we see several portraits – short video portraits, not stills – and then we see the Vivo X300s (the Vivo X300 Ultra's "little" brother) in action, taking photos and videos.
The closest thing to a specification in this video is the strap that the Vivo X300 Ultra is hooked to, which looks comfortable for outdoor photography sessions. The "lipstick" telephoto converter tube is also mounted on the Vivo X300 Ultra at all times.
It would be a bit better (and more informative) if, instead of watching a man pointing a phone at the sky and looking amazed by trees and lakes around him, we could actually see what he's photographing. A quick comparison with another phone wouldn't hurt, either. I'm not asking for the Vivo marketing team to shoot a 3-hour 70mm IMAX production. Just something more solid and less impressionist-like.
Like this, for example:
The Vivo X300 Ultra was teased at MWC (Mobile World Congress) in Barcelona some weeks ago. There are plenty of semi-official bits of information and rumors to fuel our hype.
Here's the Vivo X300 Ultra in a nutshell, per current information:
These are the kind of specs that get me going no matter how weak the trailer is. Good one, Vivo – although I take that back and I'll wait for our in-depth reviews for the final verdict. Make sure to stick around, we'll tell you all about this monster of a phone.
What's the Vivo X300 Ultra price you'd accept?

Can you believe this was captured using a phone??!!!
