Vivo X300 Ultra Colors Leak Reveals Full Lineup and Specs
Hands-on images of the vivo X300 Ultra surfaced on Weibo last Thursday, confirming the dual-tone green colorway vivo had already teased in its own marketing materials. The vivo X300 Ultra colors leak is more than a color preview: buried in the same images are the battery capacity, chipset details, and storage configurations that together amount to the most complete pre-launch picture yet, according to GSMArena. With a China debut tipped for March 30, the phone is nearly ready.
The bigger news isn't the green finish. Every vivo Ultra phone before this one stayed in China. The X300 Ultra is going global.
Vivo X300 Ultra leaked colors and hands-on images: what the leak actually shows
The leaked photos confirm the dual-tone rear finish matching vivo's own green teaser. The full color lineup, per the leak: Black, Silver, and Green, across four storage configurations 12GB/256GB, 12GB/512GB, 16GB/512GB, and 16GB/1TB as reported by Android Authority.
Worth flagging: Green is the only finish vivo has acknowledged in its own teasers. Black and Silver come from the leak, not official materials, so some design details texture, finish, weight remain unconfirmed until launch day.
The battery figure in the images puts capacity at 6,600mAh, a 600mAh increase over the X200 Ultra. An earlier rumor had pointed to a 7,000mAh cell; the hands-on figure supersedes that estimate, though vivo hasn't confirmed it officially. The same images suggest the phone runs on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 alongside vivo's VS1 and V3+ imaging chips, per GSMArena.
On timing: leaker Digital Chat Station has called the China launch for end of March, and GSMArena noted that vivo's previous two Ultra phones both debuted on Mondays, which points to March 30 as the most likely date. Vivo has not confirmed a date on any platform.
A global first: why this vivo X300 Ultra launch is different
The X200 Ultra never left China. Neither did the X100 Ultra before it. Vivo confirmed at MWC 2026 in Barcelona three weeks ago that the X300 Ultra breaks that pattern, according to Android Authority. It will launch in international markets a first for the Ultra line.
The regulatory paperwork supports that. Indonesian certification under model number V2562 appeared in late February, a step that commonly precedes a regional retail launch, per GSMArena. It confirmed the model number and name simultaneously.
The global launch is expected to follow the China debut, not coincide with it. Vivo has confirmed international intent but has not named specific countries, carriers, or a post-China timeline. The US is widely expected to remain excluded, consistent with vivo's long-standing absence from that market, per Android Authority.
For readers in Europe and Southeast Asia, where vivo already competes at lower price tiers, that distinction matters. The X300 Ultra won't be a China-only reference device it will compete directly against the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Pixel 10 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro in markets where those phones currently dominate. Whether the pricing supports that positioning remains unknown. The step-down X300 Pro launched in Europe at €1,399, per Trusted Reviews; the Ultra is expected to land above that, though no figure has been announced.
The camera system: what vivo has confirmed vs. what leaks suggest
This is the part that actually justifies the "first global Ultra" bet. Vivo's product manager Han Boxiao has been posting camera specifics directly on Weibo in a structured cadence over the past three weeks not leaks, but deliberate pre-launch disclosures that carry more weight than tipster speculation.
What vivo has officially confirmed:
-
Primary camera: Sony LYTIA-901 sensor, 200MP, 1/1.12-inch, 35mm equivalent focal length, CIPA 6.5 optical stabilization, and a new lens coating vivo claims cuts flare by up to 30%. The sensor captures 30% more light per pixel than its predecessor. The X300 Ultra is the first phone to use it. (GSMArena, Android Authority, both March 5)
-
The 35mm focal length is a deliberate differentiator. Most flagship primary cameras shoot wider the Galaxy S26 Ultra at 23mm, the Pixel 10 Pro at 25mm. A 35mm equivalent produces roughly 1.4x more subject isolation compared to a 25mm camera without touching digital zoom, according to Android Authority. Paired with a sensor 16% larger than both competitors, it's a configuration optimized for image quality over maximum field of view an interpretation the hardware specs support, even if real-world results await independent testing.
-
Ultrawide: 50MP Sony LYTIA-818, 1/1.28-inch, CIPA 6.0 stabilization, up from CIPA 5.0 on last year's model. A fourth sensor appeared in Han Boxiao's camera layout image, hidden behind an emoji; he confirmed only that it improves color accuracy. (GSMArena, March 10)
-
Video: 4K 120fps Log recording across all three rear lenses, doubling the 4K 60fps ceiling of the X200 Ultra. The Pro video mode adds 3D LUT previews and real-time color monitoring. It also supports the APV 422 codec a visually lossless format developed by Samsung, also used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which preserves quality through repeated edits and uses roughly 20% less storage than HEVC. ACES compatibility means footage can be graded alongside cinema camera material in professional post-production pipelines. (Android Authority, March 16)
-
External optics: Vivo confirmed support for telephoto converter lenses in 400mm and 200mm configurations. The 400mm option the Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra delivers approximately 16.6x optical reach, up from the 8.3x extender that shipped with the X200 Ultra. Vivo claims 1,600mm crops are achievable, though that figure has not been independently tested. The camera cage rounds out the system: cold-shoe mounts, dual-hand grip, physical shutter and zoom controls, a built-in cooling fan, and a lens-mount frame. (Android Authority, March 2)
What leaks suggest:
Tipsters point to a second 200MP camera in periscope telephoto form and a 5MP multispectral sensor completing the rear array neither confirmed by vivo, per Android Authority and GSMArena.
The video feature set warrants plain framing: Log across all three lenses, in-camera LUT preview, APV codec, ACES compatibility these are features associated with professional and semi-professional video workflows, not just enthusiast marketing. Most "pro video" flagships advertise similar capabilities but deliver a subset. Whether the X300 Ultra sustains 4K 120fps without throttling, manages heat with the cage attached, or produces usable images at 16.6x optical reach are questions only hands-on reviews will answer.
What's still unknown before the vivo X300 Ultra China launch
Several things that matter remain unconfirmed:
- No pricing for China or any international market. The X300 Pro launched in Europe at €1,399, per Trusted Reviews; the Ultra will almost certainly sit above that, but vivo has announced nothing.
- Global markets are unnamed. Vivo confirmed international intent at MWC but has not specified countries, carriers, or a post-China launch date.
- The 6,600mAh battery capacity is a leak figure, not vivo's own claim. It's the most specific data point available, but treat it accordingly.
- Finish details, materials, and weight haven't been confirmed the hands-on images show design and color but don't answer everything about how the phone feels in hand.
- Accessory pricing and real-world usability for the 400mm extender, the 200mm option, and the camera cage are all unconfirmed. A 16.6x optical claim means nothing until someone tests it independently.
Who should be watching this launch
The X300 Ultra is shaping up as a camera-first flagship with genuine pro video credentials and an external optics system that distinguishes it from the broader flagship market in hardware terms. The confirmed specs 35mm primary sensor, 4K 120fps Log across all three lenses, ACES support, a 16.6x optical extender position it squarely at advanced creators and serious mobile photographers, not the mainstream upgrade market.
The global launch changes its relevance considerably. Previous Ultra phones were China-only, which kept them as reference points rather than purchase options. The X300 Ultra enters direct competition with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Pixel 10 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro in markets where those phones own consumer awareness. Its primary sensor 16% larger than both the S26 Ultra and Pixel 10 Pro and the 35mm focal length give it a hardware argument worth taking seriously, according to Android Authority.
The camera specs make it worth attention now. Pricing, confirmed markets, and launch date will determine how widely vivo actually intends to compete. If March 30 holds as expected, those answers should come within the week, per Android Authority.
