Early comparison photos of the Vivo X300 Ultra are already making the rounds, and they give a clear first look at what Vivo may be prioritizing with its next flagship camera phone. Shown side by side with the Vivo X200 Ultra (a model that was officially sold only in China), the new device appears to stick closely to the same overall design language while making a few notable tweaks that will matter to buyers watching the series closely.
At first glance, the Vivo X300 Ultra and Vivo X200 Ultra look closely related, especially from the back. The camera module keeps a very similar shape and placement, reinforcing Vivo’s continued focus on its high-end imaging setup. If you liked the bold camera-first styling of the previous model, the X300 Ultra doesn’t seem to be backing away from that identity.
The more obvious visual change shows up on the front. The display on the Vivo X300 Ultra appears to be flat, replacing the quad-curved screen design seen on the Vivo X200 Ultra. For many users, a flat display can be a welcome shift. It often feels more practical for daily use, can reduce accidental touches, and tends to pair better with screen protectors.
But the biggest takeaway from these early comparison shots is hard to miss: the camera bump on the Vivo X300 Ultra looks thicker than before. This stands out most clearly in the final comparison image, where the increased protrusion is easiest to see. While some may view a larger camera bump as a trade-off in pocketability and table wobble, it can also signal upgraded camera hardware—such as a larger sensor, improved optics, or more advanced stabilization components.
For anyone tracking Vivo’s Ultra lineup, these first side-by-side images suggest a familiar approach with a practical screen change and an even more camera-forward build. If the thicker camera bump does reflect improved imaging hardware, the Vivo X300 Ultra could be shaping up to be an even stronger contender among the best camera phones expected this year.
