The photography prowess continues with a 35mm main camera utilizing a massive 200MP Sony LYTIA 901 sensor ๐. With an f/1.85 aperture, it promises vastly improved light intake and reduced lens reflectivity โจ. Complementing this is an 85mm telephoto lens backed by a 200MP Samsung HP0 sensor, which achieves a remarkable 3-degree gimbal-level stabilization and supports up to 60 rapid autofocus operations per second โก.
All of this sophisticated optical hardware is elegantly housed in a metal, pancake-style camera module detailed with a premium knurled texture โ๏ธ. Available in striking Victory Green ๐ and Eclipse Black ๐ค, the device is as durable as it is stylish, featuring both IP68 and IP69 ratings for rigorous dust and water resistance ๐๐ก๏ธ.

Taking mobile photography a step further, the Vivo X300 Ultra is compatible with two external teleconverter modules ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ. The premium Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra leverages a complex 15-element optical structure to achieve a stunning 400mm focal length ๐. For a more compact option, the standard Zeiss Telephoto Extender Gen 2 provides a 200mm focal length, translating to roughly 8.7x optical zoom.
Both add-on lenses meet stringent ZEISS APO optical standards, feature robust CIPA 6.5-rated stabilization, and maintain blisteringly fast autofocus at up to 60fps ๐จ. When paired with the smartphone’s built-in cameras, Vivo dubs this comprehensive suite the โZEISS Master Lenses Collection.โ ๐

Videographers haven’t been left out, as the X300 Ultra supports 4K 120fps Dolby Vision and 4K 120fps 10-bit Log recording across every single lens ๐ฅ. The setup is bolstered by OIS on all cameras, a four-microphone array for crisp audio ๐๏ธ, and seamless 3D LUT import support. For true professionals, the phone integrates ACES workflows alongside built-in cinematic modes, offering a classic 24fps film style and a smooth 60fps modern format ๐ฌ.
Display, performance, and battery ๐
Under the hood, the smartphone is driven by Qualcommโs top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor ๐๏ธ. This powerhouse is paired with up to 16GB of rapid LPDDR5X RAM and a spacious 512GB of UFS 4.1 storage ๐. To keep things running smoothly during intense tasks, Vivo has revamped the device’s thermal management system, introducing a 22 percent larger liquid cooling vapor chamber that boosts overall heat dissipation by 14 percent โ๏ธ.
The front of the device is dominated by a stunning 6.82-inch 2K LTPO AMOLED display โจ. It offers a buttery-smooth 144Hz refresh rate, HDR10+ support, and 2160Hz PWM dimming for eye comfort ๐๏ธ. Out of the box, it runs on Android 16 layered with Vivo’s custom OriginOS 6 ๐ฑ.
Powering the entire experience is a massive 6,600mAh battery ๐, which supports ultra-fast 90W wired charging, 40W wireless charging โก, and convenient reverse wireless charging capabilities ๐.

Note that Oppo has yet to publish an official list of ColorOS 17 supported devices. ๐ So, we had to review the software update policy of each Oppo device to ensure the list closely matches the official one. That means if your device is on the list, itโs almost guaranteed to receive the ColorOS 17 update. โ
ย
Also, it doesnโt take long to realize that there are no Oppo A-series phones on the list. ๐ซ Thatโs because most of them do not have an official update policy, and to keep the list as accurate as possible, we didnโt include them. That said, some of them may still receive the update. ๐ค
ย
Weโll update the list when Oppo makes an official announcement. ๐ข
