Vivo X300 Ultra: ₹1,59,999 — What You Get
Single variant: 16GB + 512GB at ₹1,59,999. Colors: Eclipse Black and Victory Green. Sale from May 14, 2026.
Ultra Camera Highlights (Explained Like You'd Actually Use Them)
ZEISS T* Coating (Less Glare, Cleaner Night Shots)
When you shoot against street lights or car headlights, flare can wash out the whole photo. ZEISS T* coating is designed to cut reflections inside the lens so highlights stay controlled and contrast looks clean.
VS1+ Pro Imaging Chip (Faster HDR, Better Skin Tones)
Think of VS1+ as a dedicated camera brain. It helps process HDR, noise reduction, and detail faster, which means you get sharper results with less blur, especially in indoor light and night scenes.
CIPA OIS Ratings (Stabler Video, Sharper 1x to Zoom)
OIS is the stabilizer that fights shaky hands. A higher CIPA rating usually means the camera can hold steadier for longer exposures, which improves night photos and keeps zoom shots sharper.
Multi-Spectral Color System (More Natural Colors)
The Ultra uses a multi-spectral color system with more color channels. In simple terms, it reads light more precisely so faces look natural, whites look clean, and colors don't jump to neon.
Telephoto Extender Gen 2 (When Zoom Really Matters)
Action and Sports
For sports and kids running around, the Ultra is built to lock focus quickly and keep up with movement. The result is more “keepable” shots, not just one lucky frame.
Wildlife and Long Distance
If you love travel, wildlife, or stage performances, telephoto is what makes the memory look real. The extender option is built for people who want that “closer than you were” look without carrying a camera bag.
Creator Features That Feel Premium
- OriginOS 6 (Android 16 base): AI Search (natural-language search across apps), Shake & Share file transfer, and smoother day-to-day workflows for people who shoot often.
- AI Audio Noise Eraser: removes harsh background noise from videos so voices sound clearer in cafés and crowded functions.
- USB 3.2 Gen 2: faster file transfers for creators moving 4K clips to a laptop (useful if you edit often).
- 8K video support: both phones support 8K 30fps; Ultra adds pro-grade 4K 120fps Log + Dolby Vision tools.

Colors You Can Actually Walk In and See
FE Camera: The 5-Focal Portrait System (23mm to 100mm)
Main Camera and Multifocal Portrait
For day-to-day photos, the FE focuses on natural colors and skin tones with ZEISS tuning. For portraits, the focal-length choices help you pick a look, not just a zoom number.
Telephoto and Extender (Optional)
If you love portraits and stage photos, telephoto is where the FE feels special. The optional extender is for people who want more reach for travel and events.
AI Creative Camera (For Social Content)
AI tools help you clean up backgrounds, fix lighting, and create share-ready photos faster. This is helpful when you want a good result without spending time editing.
Performance and Battery (Compact, But Not Small)
Compact phones usually compromise on battery. The FE flips that idea by pairing flagship performance with a big battery, so it stays reliable for long workdays and travel.
Includes Extender + Accessory Kit

Launch Offers at Darling Retail: EMI and Cashback
How No-Cost EMI Works (Simple Math)
No-cost EMI is designed so you pay the phone price in smaller monthly chunks without adding interest (on eligible cards and tenures). For example, a ₹79,999 plan spread across 24 months can feel close to ₹3,333 per month, and a ₹1,59,999 plan can feel close to ₹6,667 per month. The exact amount depends on bank, tenure, and which bundle you choose in-store.

- Same-day setup: data transfer, SIM setup, and basic camera tips in showroom.
- Clear billing: EMI and cashback details explained before checkout.
- After-sales support: one place to come back for help and warranty guidance.
What Makes Both Phones Stand Out
ZEISS Cameras
ZEISS is a 175-year-old German optics company used in NASA telescopes and cinema cameras. ZEISS T* coating on every lens removes ghosting and flare. Both X300 phones carry full ZEISS certification, making them two of the best camera smartphones in India today.
Snapdragon 8 Gen 5
Qualcomm's fastest 2026 chipset. All-big-core Oryon architecture means every core runs at full efficiency. Games load faster, apps open instantly, and the phone stays smooth for years. Powers both the Ultra and FE.
IP68 + IP69 Water Resistance
Both phones are among the most capable water resistant smartphones at their price. Tested under IEC 60529: IP68 covers 1.5m submersion for 30 minutes. IP69 adds high-pressure jet resistance. Rain, beach, and dusty environments are non-events.
5 Years OS + 7 Years Security
Vivo commits to updates until 2031 (OS) and 2033 (security). Most phones offer 2–3 years. This commitment keeps your phone fast, safe, and current for years after purchase — true long-term value.
