If you love taking photos with your phone but hate how grainy and blurry things get when you zoom in, Vivo has some news you’ll want to hear. The upcoming Vivo X300 and X300 Pro are getting a serious photography boost, thanks to a cool accessory: a clip-on Zeiss 2.35x teleconverter.
This isn’t just a software trick; it’s a physical lens you can attach to the phone to give its already powerful camera a true optical zoom superpower, making your long-range photography look incredible.
A Pro-Level Zoom in Your Pocket
So how does it work? At the heart of the phone’s camera system is a massive 200MP telephoto lens. The Zeiss teleconverter simply attaches over it, physically extending your zoom range. This means you can capture details from incredibly far away without relying on that fuzzy, low-quality digital zoom. Vivo has already shown off sample shots at an equivalent of 800mm that look impressively sharp, proving this isn’t just a gimmick.
Say Goodbye to Shaky Zoom Shots
Anyone who’s tried to snap a picture of a distant landmark or a bird on a branch knows the struggle—the slightest hand movement can blur the photo. Vivo tackled this head-on by focusing heavily on stabilisation. The X300 Pro gets an impressive 5.5 CIPA rating (with the standard Vivo X300 not far behind at 4.5). In simple terms, this means the phone is exceptionally good at canceling out your hand’s shakiness, keeping your long-distance shots crisp and clear.
A Treat for All, Not Just the Pros
Here’s some great news: Vivo isn’t reserving this awesome accessory for just the top-tier Pro model. You’ll be able to get the Zeiss 2.35x teleconverter for the standard Vivo X300 as well. It’s a nice touch that brings pro-level photography features to more people, not just those who buy the most expensive option.
Mark your calendars! The full reveal of the Vivo X300 series is set for October 13. That’s when we’ll get all the final details on pricing and find out when you can get your hands on one.
