Vivo’s X300 Pro is now reality. Currently only available in China, but most probably coming to international markets very soon, it’s the next camera-centric flagship from the company. And it, indeed, delivers the goods — with a 200 MP zoom camera that you can attach an external telephoto lens to, a 50 MP main camera that delivers surprisingly sharp pictures, and a 50 MP ultra-wide one that is excellent for landscapes.
It arrives in a market that already has the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra — a phone that topped the score of our camera benchmark test when it came out early this year. The question now is, will Vivo outplay and out-camera the champ?
Default settings only, because otherwise we will be here all week. No telephoto extenders — just a fair game, camera vs camera. Here are some samples!

Well, it seems Samsung has a worthy competitor on its hands. What do you think about the photos? Is there a clear winner? Or is it blow for blow?
