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. However, for a high-end phone to claim an outstanding camera system, the ability to capture high-quality video is essential.
The Vivo X300 Ultra has plenty to offer in terms of video capabilities. Besides providing a 4K120 option across all focal lengths, it can also record at 120 fps in Dolby Vision and 10-bit Log. As you’d expect from a flagship, video capture at up to 8K is likewise supported.
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.

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.
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.
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”.
I have always been very passionately interested in mobile technologies, especially smartphones. Being a tech enthusiast means the half-life of my devices isn’t exactly long, and being the latest hardware is not enough to suffice as the manufacturer and operating system play a minor role – the most important aspect for me is that the device is state-of-the-art. After posting for Mobi Test I joined Notebookcheck in 2016, where I have been pursuing my enthusiasm for technology by reviewing the latest smartphone, tablet, and accessory trends.
