Vivo X300 Series to Feature Groundbreaking 200-Megapixel Camera Sensor with AI Enhancements

Vivo X300 Series to Use Samsung's New 200-Megapixel Sensor for Portraits

The sensor uses high-pixel multi-frame fusion for improved clarity The Vivo X300 series is rumoured to be in development as the successor to the X200 lineup. While official details remain under wraps, the rumour mill has given us a fair idea of what to expect in terms of features. The company has now confirmed that it will use a new 200-megapixel camera sensor that will make its debut on the Vivo X300 series. However, the upcoming Vivo X300 and Vivo X300 Pro are said to have different implementations of this sensor. Samsung's 200-Megapixel ISOCELL HPB Sensor to Debut on Vivo X300 Series Han Boxiao, Product Manager at Vivo, shared details about the Vivo X300 series in a post on the microblogging platform Weibo. As per the official, the Vivo X300 Pro will come with a 200-megapixel imaging sensor that will be used for telephoto photography on the handset. It is said to be tuned in collaboration with Zeiss, offering four major "breakthroughs".

Further, the company is working with platform manufacturers for deep customisation and development of focus-changing engines, enabling motion capture at "ultra-long distances". The sensor will benefit from high-pixel multi-frame fusion as a result of the enhanced underlying computing power. The official said that the sensor will offer an integration of software and hardware optimisation to achieve a telephoto effect, which is "farther and clearer and removes the sense of AI". The Vivo X300 Pro's 200-megapixel telephoto shooter is confirmed to have Zeiss T* coating for lower colour difference and fluorite glass lenses for reduced dispersion. It is also said to have a specially designed lens module for high-pixel sensors. As per the official, the standard Vivo X300 will come with a 200-megapixel main camera, while the X300 Pro will feature a 200-megapixel telephoto shooter, both having a 0.56 micrometre pixel size. It will enable 23mm 200-megapixel and 50mm 50-megapixel photography.

vivo X300 and X300 Pro to use 200MP HPB sensor

After rumours, vivo's product manager Han Boxiao has confirmed that the upcoming X300 series phones will use a custom 200MP Samsung sensor which is an upgraded version of Samsung's HP9, but it's not called HP10; it's called HPB. B for Blue that is customized by Blue Factory. With a large 1/1.4 aperture, it supports both 23mm 200MP HD and 50mm 50MP ultra-HD images, he added. The vivo X300 will use the sensor for the main camera. This will have the same blue glass as the X200 Ultra + Zeiss T* coating for even better control of stray light and ghosting. A lens module specifically designed for high-pixel sensors maximizes 200-megapixel output while achieving the industry-leading CIPA 4.5 image stabilization certification, surpassing even competing Pro-level flagships! It will use custom algorithm, a collaborative platform enhances underlying computing power, enabling high-pixel multi-frame fusion. These customized technologies have enabled the creation of the unique Zeiss 200 million super main camera. Based on earlier rumors, it will use a 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 50MP 3X periscope lens. The periscope is a non-ship-style optical prism lens using the IMX885 (1/2''), supporting 70mm 3X optical zoom and telephoto macro. The X300 Pro will use an exclusive, deeply customized 200MP HPB sensor for the telephoto lens, making it the fourth generation of the company's 200MP HPB telephoto lens. The X300 Pro may not rival the V-single X200 Ultra in every respect, but this exclusive, deeply customized all-new Zeiss 200 million APO super telephoto lens boasts four key breakthroughs, making it the "new king of telephoto lenses," he added. The telephoto lens achieves an industry-high CIPA 5.5-level image stabilization certification for exceptionally stable and high-quality photos. Collaborating with platform manufacturers, vivo has developed a customized and exclusive focus tracking engine to overcome the challenges of capturing ultra-long-range motion capture! Exclusive Blueprint algorithms and integrated hardware and software optimizations deliver longer-range, clearer telephoto shots with a seamless AI-like feel. The Zeiss T* coating delivers purer images, exclusive APO certification minimizes chromatic aberration, and fluorite glass lenses minimize dispersion Finally, whether it's the ZEISS 200MP super main camera on the X300 or the ZEISS 200MP super telephoto on the X300 Pro, both models boast unmatched imaging prowess, he added. According to leaker Digital Chat Station, the vivo X300 Pro will feature a 50-megapixel LYT828 1/1.3'' main camera with a large sensor and ultra-high dynamic range. These should be powered by the Dimensity 9500 chip that is all set to be introduced in October. According to the information mentioned by vivo at the Vision Conference and Imaging Festival, the X300 will also adopt the first pre-processing chip VS1 and V3+ dual-core architecture to allow image quality restoration and reconstruction algorithms to work together; in the future, it will use the AIGC modal large model to empower landscape creation, and will subsequently launch AI customized beauty.
