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.
The X300 gets a 50-megapixel Zeiss APO periscope telephoto lens and uses exclusive custom LYT-602 and Zeiss T* coating, chromatic aberration and dispersion are significantly reduced in telephoto shots, ensuring clear and stable long-range shots. It also supports telephoto macro lens.

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.
The vivo X300 Pro features a 50-megapixel LYT828 1/1.28″ gimbal-grade main camera and a large f/1.57 aperture. It’s equipped with gimbal-grade image stabilization and the industry-leading CIPA 5.5 rating. Its 22nm low-power process fully unleashes video capabilities, while Hybrid Frame-HDR technology achieves 100dB dynamic range, maximizing brightness and contrast in backlit night scenes. Furthermore, Zeiss T* coating reduces stray light and VCS Bionic Spectrum 3.0 technology restores true colors, resulting in superb image quality.
Furthermore, the entire X300 series boasts a fully upgraded front camera. Standard features include a Zeiss 50MP ultra-clear AF front camera with a 92-degree wide-angle lens and autofocus. This delivers exceptional detail capture and focus for selfies and video calls, making it a perfect tool for vlogging, says the company.
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.
