If you’re a fan of camera-focused phones, you’ve probably heard of the Vivo X family. Every year, the Chinese company delivers some of the best mobile photography devices you can buy. The Vivo X200 lineup is a clear example of this, and its next generation is already in development. Now, a fresh leak offers details about a potential camera upgrade for the vanilla Vivo X300 with a 200MP main sensor.
One of the areas where the current Vivo X200 base model could see improvement is its main camera sensor size. The latest data bits point directly to a welcome change here.
Vivo X300 tipped to get a nice main camera sensor boost
According to tipster @nakajimegame, the Vivo X300 will feature a new 200MP main under the “HPB” brand with a generous 1/1.4-inch size.
To give you some perspective, the current Vivo X200 uses a 50MP main camera sensor with a smaller 1/1.56-inch size. If the latest leak is true, we will see a good jump not just in megapixel count, but even in the physical size of the sensor.
A July leak from DCS already suggested the possibility of a 200MP main camera for the device. Now, the latest report offers more details. What’s new is that this new “HPB” sensor is thought to be a derivative of the Samsung HP9. This is interesting, since if you’re not aware, the HP9 is a sensor originally designed for telephoto cameras (like the one on the Vivo X200 Pro). So, its “HPB” version could be a model adapted to be a main lens.
The leak includes more details about the Vivo X300. According to the post, the handset will include a 50MP periscope telephoto sensor with a 1/1.95-inch size—possibly a Sony IMX882 or LYT600.
While official details about the Vivo X300 series launch are still under wraps, an October launch is a strong possibility. The base Vivo X300 might debut alongside a Pro variant. And for those seeking the absolute best, an even more premium “Vivo X300 Ultra” with potentially even more powerful cameras could arrive in 2026.
