The Mobile World Congress in Barcelona has wrapped up, but the excitement around the Vivo X300 Ultra is still alive in China. Product manager Han Boxiao has shared more details about the new Zeiss camera that will be featured in the successor to the Vivo X200 Ultra, which will also make its debut in the European market. Following yesterday’s details on the impressive 1/1.12 inch 200-megapixel main camera with a 35mm lens, Vivo has now introduced information on its second 200-megapixel sensor, the enhanced telephoto.
New Samsung Sensor
Vivo states that the new telephoto sensor is based on a Samsung sensor known as HP0. Vivo has tailored it and reportedly, it’s closely related to the ISOCELL HPE used in the Vivo X300 Pro. This fifth generation 200 MP sensor from Vivo/Samsung aims to provide improved performance in color accuracy, autofocus, HDR, and dynamic range compared to the ISOCELL HPE. Most impressively, it sets new benchmarks for stabilization, which Han Boxiao detailed on Weibo.
Major Stabilization Upgrade
For the first time, Vivo has reached the professional CIPA 7.0 standard with this new telephoto module, marking a major improvement from the CIPA 5.5 of the previous year. The optics can now stabilize by up to 3 degrees, which is quite exceptional in the industry; normally, 0.7 to 1 degree is what you’d expect in the smartphone market. This nearly triples the 1.2 degrees stabilization found in the Vivo X200 Ultra. As a result, the stabilization is effective even when using the new 4.7x telephoto extender, achieving up to 1600 mm equivalent focal length. A demonstration of this versatile optics is available in a video below.
Enhanced Motion Tracking
Finally, Vivo assures that the motion tracking now operates at 60 fps, a step up from the typical 30 fps available in most smartphones. This advancement means that tracking animals is no longer an issue, making it a great tool for wildlife photography.
