Fresh leaks are painting a clearer picture of the Vivo X300 Ultra, and the biggest story isn’t just bigger camera sensors or a new lens setup. This time, the focus is on more accurate, more natural-looking colour in both photos and videos—an area where even top camera phones can still struggle, especially under tricky lighting.
According to a well-known leaker, Vivo’s upcoming flagship (expected to succeed the Vivo X200 Ultra and launch globally) could include what’s being described as the industry’s largest multispectral sensor. The claim points to a 5MP multispectral sensor designed to read and interpret colour information more precisely than standard camera sensors alone. In everyday terms, this kind of sensor can help a phone better understand the colours in a scene—think skin tones, mixed indoor lighting, neon signs at night, or dim restaurants—where cameras often get it wrong with odd colour casts or unnatural saturation.
Multispectral sensors have been used by other brands as a way to improve colour accuracy, particularly in low light. While real-world results can vary depending on software tuning and how the sensor is integrated, the idea is simple: gather more detailed colour data, then use it to produce images and video that look closer to what your eyes actually saw. If Vivo’s implementation is as strong as the leak suggests, the X300 Ultra could become one of the most talked-about camera phones of the year for colour realism alone.
The leak also mentions another notable upgrade: a new teleconverter for Vivo’s 35mm Zeiss camera, which is said to use the Sony LYT-901 sensor. A teleconverter can effectively extend zoom reach or change how the camera handles magnification, and the leaker hints that it may use a different magnification compared with the previous model’s 2.35x approach. That could translate into sharper zoom at a more useful focal length, improved portrait reach, or better long-range detail—depending on how Vivo tunes it.
For now, details remain limited on the phone’s other rumoured optical zoom camera, with no concrete specs shared yet. Still, with talk of a 35mm Zeiss-focused main camera experience, a potentially class-leading multispectral colour sensor, and a revised teleconverter strategy, the Vivo X300 Ultra is shaping up to target one of the biggest demands in smartphone photography: camera results that look natural, consistent, and true-to-life.
The device is expected to debut in China first, with a possible launch window around March, and it’s also tipped for a global release. If the leaks hold up, Vivo may be aiming to make the X300 Ultra a standout choice for anyone who prioritizes realistic colour and advanced camera hardware in a flagship phone.
