– Robust video capabilities: up to 8K, 4K120 across all focal lengths, plus 120fps in Dolby Vision with 10-bit Log.
– Pro video suite and cinematic presets: Pro Video controls with white balance/ISO and Film Look/Film Style profiles.
– Strong stabilization: excellent OIS + EIS, comparable to the 2025 Galaxy flagships in motion testing.
– Autofocus caveat and versatile zoom: autofocus can struggle during fast movement; 14mm–230mm range with multiple zoom levels tested.
In our Vivo X300 Ultra review, we’ve already discussed the flagship phone’s excellent camera capabilities – setting aside its weaknesses in color reproduction for the moment. Nevertheles, for a high-end device to claim an outstanding camera system, the ability to capture high-quality video remains essential, not optional. The X300 Ultra leans into this expectation with a refined approach to motion recording, promising that the best moments can be preserved with pleasn detail, stability, and nuance even in challenging lighting.
Video capabilities and format
On the video front, the X300 Ultra doesn’t disappoint. It offers a 4K120 option across all focal lengths, and it can also record at 120 fps in Dolby Vision and 10-bit Log. As any flagship expected, the ability to capture video up to 8K is also supported, though real-world workflows may vary. Pricing details are not provided in this extract.
Pro Video features and modes
Vivo has equipped the X300 Ultra with a new Pro Video mode that offers comprehensive control over parameters such as white balance and ISO. Other additions highlighted by Vivo include Film Look and Film Style modes, which use film-inspired color profiles to help create professional-looking cinematic footage.
Stability and testing setup
In the video below, we set out to evaluate the Vivo X300 Ultra’s image quality and stabilization (OIS + EIS) in motion by subjecting the phone to a very challenging scenario involving rapid pans and shakes. For this test, we used the 4K30 option with Dolby Vision, which is supported by all sensors. For a more complete picture, we also compared the main camera’s image stabilization with what the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra offers.
Footage context
Check out our full review of the Vivo X300 Ultra for more details and access to all the footage we captured with the Zeiss camera system. The combination of these tests and the accompanying clips provide a broad view of how the device handles real-world video tasks, from steady family moments to fast-paced action scenes, all while maintaining a premium feel that elevates mobile videography.
Zoom range and focus issues
With the Vivo X300 Ultra, videography enthusiasts can look forward to highly detailed footage across a range of 14 mm to 230 mm. In our test videos, we used zoom levels of 0.6x, 1.5x, 3.7x, 7.4x and 10x. Image stabilization is excellent and roughly on par with the 2025 Galaxy flagship. However, the X300 Ultra’s autofocus exhibited noticeable issues during fast movements, which we demonstrated by running in the second video. The second clip was captured in Film Look.
Final thoughts and test note
Test Vivo X300 Ultra. To wrap up, the final evaluation reflects a blend of strengths and caveats that videographers will weigh against their needs. The 4K120 across focal lengths, 120 fps Dolby Vision, 10-bit Log, and the Pro Video options offer meaningful creative leverage, even if autofocus can stumble during rapid motion. In controlled scenarios, the X300 Ultra proves itself as a capable tool for cinematic ambitions.
