Vivo is ready to expand its portfolio of flagship phones in India, further increasing the pressure on Samsung, Xiaomi and other smartphone brand. For long, Vivo has limited its X series to the Pro model in India. But, this year it is set to launch the X300 Ultra in the country as well, giving another premium option to smartphone users. The phone was showcased at the Mobile World Congress 2026 in Barcelona, kind of confirming its global launch.
SurveyAnd while Vivo has not officially said anything about the India launch of the device, we have learnt that the plans are to launch it in the country. That too as soon as the next quarter. With this, the Vivo X300 Ultra will be the first Ultra phone from the company to be commercially available in the country. Vivo had previously launched the X300 and X300 Pro and in all likeness should also add a foldable to its offerings later this year.

While the X300 Ultra wasn’t available for hands-on testing at MWC 2026, Vivo offered a close look at the device along with a new accessory that could redefine smartphone zoom photography. The phone will come with a Zeiss 400mm Telephoto Extender Kit, a detachable photography module designed specifically for the X300 Ultra. The extender reportedly enables up to 17x optical zoom.
With this, the X300 Ultra will come really close to delivering DSLR or mirrorless camera-like quality just on a phone. This is similar to the 200mm tele extender kit that was launched with the X300 Pro. Vivo says that both these lenses or kits are interchangeable.
