Anne, Marian star in vivo X300 Ultra camera showdown

Tweet

The new vivo X300 Ultra proved that smartphone photography can now rival professional cameras during a live fashion shoot led by renowned celebrity and fashion photographer BJ Pascual at Manila House.

Hosted by Joey Mead King and held in front of Manila’s tastemakers and notable personalities, including Georgina Wilson, Bea Soriano, and Eric Dee Jr., the showcase highlighted the imaging power of the vivo X300 Ultra beside a professional mirrorless camera setup.

The live shoot featured vivo ambassadors Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera as subjects, while BJ Pascual captured photos using both devices.

For his mirrorless setup, Pascual used three different lenses. In contrast, the vivo X300 Ultra delivered the same creative flexibility through its dual 200MP Triple ZEISS Master Lenses system, which includes:

●        14mm ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera,

●        35mm ZEISS Documentary Camera, 

●        85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade APO Telephoto Camera. 

The side-by-side comparison demonstrated how the vivo X300 Ultra can produce professional-grade depth, detail and cinematic quality in a compact smartphone.

Beyond photography, the vivo X300 Ultra also showcased advanced filmmaking capabilities. All cameras on the device support 4K 120fps 10-bit LOG video and Dolby Vision recording. These features give creators greater control in color grading, slow-motion capture and cinematic storytelling, making the device suitable for professional shoots, fashion reels, and digital filmmaking.

Here are the highlights of the event shot on vivo X300 Ultra.

“The vivo X300 Ultra was designed to push mobile imaging beyond expectations. By combining ZEISS optics with advanced video capabilities, users can now achieve results once only possible with professional camera systems,” vivo Philippines Brand Marketing Director Liu Lu shared.

While the camera system is built for professionals, vivo emphasizes that the X300 Ultra is also designed for everyday users who want premium-quality content without the complexity of traditional camera equipment.

For Marian Rivera, the device fits naturally into her lifestyle and creative process.

“Super love ko talaga ang vivo X300 Ultra. Kaya niyang sumabay sa lifestyle and creativity ko. Kahit anong i-shoot ko na content or everyday moments, ang dali niyang gamitin. Very premium talaga siya, at saka cinematic result talaga,” she said.

Rivera also praised the smartphone’s clarity and zoom capabilities. “Kahit naka zoom na, sobrang clear pa rin,” she added.

Meanwhile, Anne Curtis highlighted the importance of detail and storytelling in fashion and content creation.

“When it comes to fashion and style, it's so important to have a camera that shows the detail. That's why I think this is perfect,” Curtis shared.

She also emphasized the value of cinematic video for creators today. “Storytelling is important in my career. Whether it be fashion reels, and I think Marian can relate to this. We like to shoot our content, our BTS, our films, so having a really great camera is essential,” she said.

vivo Philippines is about to reveal something Ultra on May 23 via FB live

What if a smartphone camera could approach the creative control of a professional production setup?

This is the idea surrounding the upcoming vivo X300 Ultra, the brand’s newest flagship set to be unveiled in the Philippines via Facebook livestream on May 23 at 6 PM.

A cinematic shift

Rather than refining conventional smartphone photography, the vivo X300 Ultra explores a more cinematic direction, drawing inspiration from professional production workflows where lighting, framing, and depth are intentionally crafted rather than simply captured.

This signals a shift in how mobile imaging is positioned: not just as a tool for documentation, but as a medium capable of more deliberate, visually expressive storytelling.

Before the official reveal, vivo has offered a glimpse into its imaging philosophy.

Powered by dual 200MP Triple ZEISS Master Prime Lenses, the vivo X300 Ultra highlights flagship ZEISS optics, advanced telephoto capability, and cinematic imaging depth. It reflects vivo’s continued push to bridge smartphone convenience with the precision and discipline of production-level visual creation.

The direction raises a central question for creators and tech enthusiasts: how close can mobile imaging get to the creative flexibility of a pro-level camera system used in production work?

Watch the livestream

The answer will be revealed live with top celebrity and fashion photographer BJ Pascual, demonstrating the vivo X300 Ultra's imaging power through a photoshoot with influential superstars Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera.

The public is invited to tune in to the official livestream on May 23, 2026, at 6 PM via the vivo Philippines Facebook page, and be among the first to witness what “Ultra” truly means for the next generation of mobile imaging.

Compact flagship vivo X300 FE previews pro shots, coming on May 23

Tweet

After revealing the impressive camera capabilities of the upcoming vivo X300 Ultra, vivo is now turning the spotlight to another exciting addition to its flagship lineup: the compact yet powerful vivo X300 FE.

Set to launch in the Philippines on May 23, the vivo X300 FE is designed for users who want flagship-level photography in a more compact form. Slim, lightweight, and built for life on the move, it combines everyday comfort with imaging capabilities that punch far above its size.

At just 7.99mm thin and weighing only 191g, the vivo X300 FE slips easily into your pocket, bag, or hand, but behind its streamlined design is a camera system made to capture moments with depth, detail, and a distinctly cinematic feel.

Compact flagship, serious camera power

Leading the vivo X300 FE’s camera setup is its 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera, powered by the Sony IMX882 Super Sensitive Sensor and a large 1/1.95-inch sensor for sharper detail and improved light capture.

Here are some portraits shot on vivo X300 FE captured by the vivo Philippines team.

With a 73mm equivalent focal length, OIS, and f/2.65 aperture, it delivers clear portraits and crisp zoomed shots with natural depth. Its 50MP telephoto lens supports 3x optical zoom and up to 100x zoom, making distant subjects feel strikingly close.

From portraits to stage moments and sweeping landscapes, the vivo X300 FE turns everyday shots into more vivid, cinematic captures, all within a compact flagship design.

Bring the stage closer

Further elevating the experience is the 200mm Equivalent vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2, a lighter, more refined accessory that transforms how users interact with distance.

Featuring a 2.35x teleconverter with an equivalent 200mm focal length, the accessory allows users to achieve farther and clearer zoom shots for portraits, stage moments, concerts, and distant subjects.

The vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 also supports photography, video recording, Stage Mode, and capture functions, transforming the vivo X300 FE into a compact imaging companion users can conveniently carry every day.

The vivo X300 FE reflects a clear philosophy: a smartphone can remain light in form while delivering depth in creative capability. It is built for users who value mobility, but refuse to compromise on how their moments are captured.

As everyday experiences continue to evolve into content worth capturing, the vivo X300 FE is designed to meet that demand with a more balanced approach to portability and imaging performance.

The vivo X300 FE will officially launch in the Philippines on May 23, 2026 along with the vivo X300 Ultra. Updates will be available via vivo Philippines' website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and X.

vivo X300 Ultra unveils stunning portraits ahead of May 23 launch

Tweet

As excitement builds for its May 23 debut, vivo X300 Ultra offers a preview of its next-generation imaging power through exclusive portrait shots captured by the vivo Philippines team.

Taken by the vivo Philippines team, the images offer an early glimpse of what the flagship can do when its Triple ZEISS Master Prime Lenses meet a creative eye.

Portraits powered by Triple ZEISS Master Prime Lenses

At the core of these images is the camera system that makes them possible. The vivo X300 Ultra features three flagship imaging lenses, each built for a different visual style.

The 14mm ZEISS Ultra Wide-Angle Camera captures expansive scenes while preserving clarity edge to edge. With a large Sony LYTIA 818 sensor and ZEISS T* coating, it reduces glare and keeps colors accurate even under mixed lighting.

The 35mm ZEISS Documentary Camera handles natural portraits and storytelling shots. This focal length creates the familiar perspective often used in street photography and editorial work, making every frame feel more intimate and lifelike.

The 85mm ZEISS Gimbal-Grade Telephoto Camera brings the portrait magic seen in the sample photos. It compresses perspective beautifully, enhances facial details, and delivers soft, natural subject separation. Combined with 200MP resolution and gimbal-grade stabilization, it makes handheld portrait shooting look effortless.

Zoom beyond the ordinary

For creators who want to stretch farther, the X300 Ultra also supports two optical telephoto extenders.

The 200mm vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 expands reach for travel and candid subjects, while the 400mm vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra transforms the phone into a long-range imaging tool for concerts, sports, and distant scenes.

That means the X300 Ultra is not just aiming for better close-ups. It wants the skyline, the concert stage, and the face in the last row.

A flagship built for creators

The sample portraits reveal a clear direction for the X300 Ultra: it is designed for users who see photography as more than pressing a shutter.

From controlled highlights to natural background blur and striking low-light retention, the images suggest a camera tuned for creators who care about mood, composition, and realism.

With its official launch set for May 23 via vivo Philippines Facebook livestream, the vivo X300 Ultra is already proving one thing: some phones launch with promises, but this one is arriving with receipts.
