For those who chase wingbeats at dawn and wait patiently for a flower to bloom, distance is often the greatest challenge. Birds keep their secrets high in the canopy. Rare flowers flourish just beyond arm’s reach. After spending time with the vivo X300 Pro, one thing became clear: this is the smartphone made for adventurers and bird watchers who refuse to settle for blurry compromises. The Philippines: Natural paradise for birds and flowers The Philippines is a dream destination for bird watchers and outdoor explorers. Its archipelagic geography has given rise to one of the richest concentrations of wildlife on the planet, particularly in avian species. Maya captured in Albay There are an estimated 718 to 735 bird species across the country, with approximately 243 to 258 endemic species found nowhere else in the world. This places the Philippines third globally in terms of endemic bird diversity. From forest canopies to coastal wetlands, every island offers the possibility of a rare sighting. Yellow daisy and a bee captured in a garden The country’s flora is equally captivating. With over 9,250 native vascular plant species, about one-third are endemic, many of them rare, delicate, and visually striking. Influenced by the Malaysian archipelago, yet distinctly unique, Philippine plant life rewards those who explore patiently and observe closely. In a place where beauty often reveals itself from afar, having the right imaging tool becomes essential. Why the vivo X300 Pro is the perfect companion for nature lovers The vivo X300 Pro is built for moments that cannot be rushed or repeated. At its core is a 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, designed to deliver exceptional clarity even at long distances. What makes it especially powerful for bird watchers and nature lovers is its bird and flower recognition with tracking autofocus. This intelligent system enhances focusing accuracy and efficiency, enabling the camera to maintain a steady lock on your subject even as it moves subtly among branches or petals.    From afar, feathers appear finely layered and lifelike, while flower stamens remain sharp and refined, all captured with rich, true-to-life color reproduction. Every detail feels intentional, preserving the authenticity of what you see with your own eyes. Elevating this experience further is the ZEISS Mirotar Telephoto Style Bokeh. It creates a beautifully soft background blur that separates the subject with striking depth. Even in visually cluttered environments like forests, parks, or zoos, birds and flowers stand out with a stunning three-dimensional presence.   How to use ZEISS Mirotar Telephoto Style Bokeh Capturing these images is effortless. Open the camera and zoom between 10x and 30x. When shooting non-flight birds and flowers, the ZEISS Mirotar Telephoto Style Bokeh activates automatically. There’s no need to adjust complex settings or switch modes. The camera recognizes the subject and applies the effect seamlessly, allowing you to focus on composition and timing. It’s an intuitive experience designed for real-world exploration, not studio conditions. This makes the feature ideal for zoo visits, park walks, hiking trips, and spontaneous outdoor adventures, where moments appear unexpectedly and disappear just as quickly. For those who travel light but dream big, the vivo X300 Pro replaces bulky equipment without sacrificing quality. It brings distant birds closer, reveals intricate floral details, and transforms fleeting encounters into lasting images. If you are passionate about documenting wildlife, exploring the outdoors, or capturing the rare beauty of the Philippines, the vivo X300 Pro is a reliable field companion that sees what you see, even from afar.

vivo X300 Pro's Photographer Kit: Edge or Extra?

Tweet

The vivo X300 Pro has earned its reputation as the Telephoto King, powered by the 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, a lens that captures distant scenes with striking clarity and depth. This camera has already proven its strength on the global stage, earning a top score in DxOMark’s telephoto evaluation, positioning the device as a benchmark others now aim to match.

The phone supports 85mm optical zoom, but when paired with the vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit, co-engineered by vivo and ZEISS, its digital zoom reach stretches up to 5400mm, opening new possibilities for photographers who want more creative freedom without carrying traditional camera gear.

Crafted with ZEISS for clarity beyond the horizon

The vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender is based on a Keplerian optical structure composed of 13 high-transmittance lens elements arranged in three groups, including three ultra-low dispersion glass elements that reduce chromatic aberration and refine image accuracy.

Its large-aperture objective lens enhances light intake, allowing clearer captures even when shooting farther or in challenging conditions.

“The telephoto extender gives photographers a powerful option to explore detail at scale, while keeping the experience mobile, intuitive, and exciting,” said Liu Lu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines.

Designed for control, built for endurance

To complement the X300 Pro’s imaging strength, vivo also introduced the vivo PGYTECH Imaging Grip Kit, giving photographers and creators improved ergonomics and camera-style physical controls in one compact accessory.

The kit includes a tailored phone case, neck strap, filter adapter ring, quick-release hooks, and the imaging grip, which doubles as a power bank to support longer shoots without interruptions.

The grip features a physical zoom lever and a control dial to adjust exposure, along with a video recording button, charging button, and a multi-function shutter button that supports half-press to focus, focus and exposure lock, burst shooting, and quick single-press capture. This makes it a practical tool for vloggers capturing travel clips, portrait shooters fine-tuning focus before the shot, and sports creators documenting fast-moving moments at basketball courts, concerts, and celebrations.

“We know creators shoot in movement, emotion, and spontaneity,” Liu Lu shared. “This grip was built for them from steadier handling to longer shoots, smarter control, and more confidence in every capture.”

Edge or extra?

The Photographer Kit accessories were designed with different users in mind, but with one shared purpose: to elevate mobile imaging without complicating the process.

The telephoto extender is for photographers who want to capture subjects at extreme distances, whether it’s nature, city skylines, architecture, or live events.

The imaging grip is for creators who want physical control, stability, and longer battery endurance, especially those producing lifestyle, portrait, or sports content where precision and pacing matter.

Both kits are sold separately, allowing users to choose the accessory that best supports their shooting style. The vivo ZEISS 2.35x Telephoto Extender Kit is available for Php 12,999, while the vivo PGYTECH Imaging Grip Kit retails for Php 7,999 in vivo concept stores nationwide. The vivo X300 Pro is also sold separately at Php 79,999, which you can buy online via the vivo e-store and Shopee.

Jan Mayo tests vivo X300 Pro's 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, captures stunning shots

vivo Philippines officially unveiled the vivo X300 Series at an exclusive launch event that spotlighted a photography masterclass led by acclaimed Filipino photographer Jan Mayo on November 26, 2025 at Shangri-La The Fort, BGC.

During the masterclass, Jan showcased the vivo X300 Pro's 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera and pro-level stabilization, giving attendees a hands-on experience of its professional-grade imaging features.

Through the lens with Jan

Guests experienced professional photography techniques up close with the X300 Series. Jan addressed common shooting challenges, including long-distance shots, motion, low light, and complex lighting.

In a live demonstration, event host Nicole Cordoves served as the model while Jan photographed her from the stage to the booth across the room, showcasing the X300 Pro's telephoto power, depth control, and clarity at a distance.

“The vivo X300 allows users to capture life from any distance, with clarity, emotion, and style,” said Jan.

Frames of creativity: vivo X300 Series Photo Contest

The venue became a playground for creativity as attendees were invited to capture their own entries for the photo contest using the X300 Series. Every shot was an opportunity to explore composition, perspective, and storytelling, transforming ordinary moments into extraordinary images.

Judged by Jan Mayo, the top 3 finalists of the contest were Euden Valdez, Bryan Aliwalas, and Rica Virtucio.

Euden spotted a girl across the table, drawn to her shoulder tattoo. The glass framed the moment perfectly. Bryan, on the other hand, chased the play of light and dark until a creative frame emerged. Lastly, Rica waited for the right alignment - railings, leaves, a passing figure. Three frames became one quiet moment.

Entries were posted on vivo Philippines’ Facebook page for public voting until November 28, with the highest-engagement participant winning a brand new vivo X300.

Stage energy: CALISTA live

Adding to the excitement, four-member P-Pop girl group CALISTA energized the audience with performances of their hits, including “Race Car,” “Oops My Bad,” “Don’t Have Time,” and “Alas Dose.”

Their lively stage presence complemented the creative and energetic vibe of the X300 Series launch, making it a memorable celebration of music, innovation, and mobile photography.

This also allowed attendees to experience the vivo X300 Series firsthand, capturing the performances with its advanced camera features that deliver cinematic shots even from a distance, making it perfect for concerts and live events.
