Vivo has revealed two new ZEISS telephoto extender lenses for the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra, aimed at pushing smartphone photography further into long-range shooting. The 400mm teleconverter was earlier showcased at MWC 2026, and now the company’s product manager Han Boxiao has also confirmed details about a 200mm variant. These accessories are designed to significantly extend zoom capabilities while maintaining strong image clarity.

Vivo X300 Ultra to support 200mm and 400mm telephoto extender lenses

The first accessory is a 400mm telephoto extender G2 Ultra, which is designed for creators in mind. According to Boxiao, the lens delivers an equivalent 400mm focal length, which currently represents one of the highest magnification levels seen in smartphone add-on optics. When paired with Vivo X300 Ultra’s 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, the system can produce direct optical images at extremely long focal lengths. Using a 23mm equivalent focal length as the baseline 1x zoom, the setup effectively reaches about 17.4x pure optical zoom with the 200-megapixel sensor.

Vivo also claims that the telephoto camera now supports improved optical stabilization, including around 3° optical stabilization along with a new high-refresh tracking system capable of maintaining focus at up to 60fps. Even after attaching the extender lens, the setup reportedly maintains CIPA 4.5-level stabilisation. The company suggests that this allows users to capture usable shots even at focal lengths as extreme as 1600mm, making distant subjects such as wildlife or stage performances easier to photograph.

A lighter 200mm extender designed for portability

Alongside the larger accessory, Vivo has also introduced a redesigned second-generation 200mm extender lens G2. This version is intended to be lighter and easier to carry. The company states that its weight has been reduced by 27 percent, bringing it down to around 153 grams while also shrinking the overall size.

Despite the smaller body, the optical design has been upgraded. The lens now includes 15 elements instead of the earlier 13, which is expected to improve image clarity while maintaining strong stabilization rated at CIPA 6.5. Vivo says the compact design makes it practical for everyday shooting without compromising telephoto performance.

These accessories are part of Vivo’s broader ZEISS camera ecosystem built around multiple focal lengths. The system covers lenses ranging from ultra-wide 14mm to standard 35mm and portrait-friendly 85mm, along with the longer 200mm and 400mm options. The above image also shows a 2.35x ZEISS telephoto extender, which works with existing X300 models. Likely, it will also be supported by the X300 Ultra.

iQOO recently shared key details about the upcoming iQOO Z11 at the company’s 7th anniversary event in China. In a new Weibo post, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station shared a few more details about the phone. Here’s a look at everything known about it.

iQOO Z11 key specifications revealed

According to DCS, the upcoming iQOO Z11 will feature a 6.83-inch OLED LTPS panel with a flat design. While the brand has already confirmed support for a 165Hz refresh rate, the tipster revealed that the screen will offer a 1.5K resolution.

DCS claimed that the iQOO Z11 will include a high-performance chipset, but he did not disclose its name. He further revealed that the device will be available with a 16GB+512GB configuration. As already confirmed, the Z11 will house a 9,020mAh battery with support for 90W charging.

iQOO Z11 launch timeframe

DCS claims that the iQOO Z11 will be announced by late March in China. As far as pricing is concerned, the brand has already confirmed that it will be positioned between 2,000 Yuan (~$290) and 3,000 Yuan (~$440).

At present, there is no information about the device’s global availability. Recently, a device named iQOO Z11 with the model number I2512 was spotted on the Malaysian SIRIM certification platform. It is unclear whether the global version of the Z11 will be the same device as the Chinese variant.

DCS also noted that OnePlus, Honor, Realme, and iQOO have already adopted ultra-high refresh rate displays. Redmi now appears to be the only major brand yet to introduce such a display. However, reports suggest that Redmi may soon join the trend, as the Redmi K90 Ultra, expected to debut in April in China, could feature a 165Hz screen.

Vivo is expected to unveil the Vivo X300 Ultra later this month, and speculation suggests the brand may also introduce the Vivo X300 Max alongside it. The X300 Max was reportedly displayed in a confidential case at MWC 2026 recently. Today, Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao confirmed that there is no Vivo X300 Max. Instead, this device will debut with the Vivo X300s branding. He also confirmed several details about the device.

Vivo X300s moniker confirmed

According to Boxiao, the company had internally discussed naming the device the Vivo X300 Max due to the scale of its upgrades. However, Vivo eventually chose to keep the “s” naming convention, similar to the previous X-series refresh.

The Vivo X300s is aimed at users who want a large-screen flagship without compromising on imaging. While many recent imaging-focused models have shifted to compact displays, this device combines a bigger screen with strong camera capabilities.

The “s” reportedly stands for “SuperMax,” highlighting improvements across multiple areas, particularly performance. Vivo also suggests that the X300s will sit alongside the X300 Ultra, offering a balance between powerful photography and flagship hardware.

Boxiao revealed that the Vivo X300s will have a 6.78-inch BOE Q10 Plus panel with a 144Hz refresh rate. This would make it the first device in the X series to support such a high refresh rate, and it is also said to support native 144FPS gameplay in certain MOBA titles. The display will support Zeiss color tuning and circular polarization technology designed to improve eye comfort.

Audio performance is also set to improve with the inclusion of symmetric 1115 dual speakers similar to those found on the iQOO 15. The system includes upgraded amplifiers and algorithms to deliver a wider sound field. Vivo claims that gaming audio cues such as footsteps and gunfire can become significantly clearer, helping players identify positions more easily.

The phone will also include a large customized 4D vibration motor designed to deliver stronger and more detailed haptic feedback. The motor is said to support enhanced vibration effects in more than ten popular mobile games, allowing users to experience stronger tactile responses during gameplay. He added that this will be the largest and most powerful vibration motor ever included in an X-series device.

Boxiao has also confirmed that the device will be equipped with a Zeiss 200-megapixel image sensor. However, he did not reveal any other camera-related information.

Previous reports have revealed that the X300s will feature a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera in its triple camera setup. It will have a Dimensity 9500 chip and a battery of around 7,000mAh capacity. It may offer 90W wired and 40W wireless charging and run on OriginOS 6-based Android 16. It is also said to have an IP68/69-rated dust- and water-resistant chassis.

The post Vivo X300s officially confirmed; Brings 144Hz display, 200MP main sensor, and more appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo Product Manager Han Boxiao has been consistently revealing key details about the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra’s camera system through posts on Weibo. Last week, he confirmed specifications of the phone’s main and periscope telephoto cameras. In his latest update, Boxiao has now shared new information about the device’s ultra-wide camera, while also teasing the presence of another unusual sensor hidden within the camera module.

Vivo X300 Ultra’s ultra-wide camera details revealed

According to Boxiao, the Vivo X300 Ultra will feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera built around the Sony LYTIA-818 sensor. The lens is expected to offer a 14mm focal length, making it suitable for landscapes and wide scenes. With a 1/1.28-inch sensor size, Vivo claims this will be among the largest sensors used for an ultra-wide camera in a smartphone.

The larger sensor is also expected to improve video recording. Boxiao explained that ultra-wide cameras are often important for video capture because they help deliver stable footage. On the X300 Ultra, stabilization is said to improve from the previous generation’s CIPA 5.0 rating to CIPA 6.0. The bigger sensor can also help gather more light, which may improve low-light video quality.

The above image hides another camera sensor under the sunglasses emoji. While he did not reveal the exact details, he suggested that this unusually powerful new sensor and the device’s upgraded color processing will be discussed in a future update. This could be the rumored 5-megapixel multispectral lens.

Earlier disclosures revealed that the Vivo X300 Ultra will introduce Sony’s LYTIA-901 sensor globally as part of its main camera system. The setup pairs the sensor with a 200-megapixel camera featuring a 1/1.12-inch sensor size and a 35mm focal length designed to deliver a more natural perspective for street photography.

The phone is also expected to include a fifth-generation ZEISS 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera based on Samsung’s HP0 sensor. This camera is said to support up to 3° optical image stabilization, which Vivo claims can deliver gimbal-like stability for zoom shots.The device is also expected to include a 50-megapixel front camera with autofocus support.

For creators, the X300 Ultra will have an optional 400mm teleconverter kit capable of reaching up to 17x optical zoom. The brand is also expected to release another teleconverter kit for everyday use.

The X300 Ultra will be unveiled this month in China. Likely, it will head to the global market in the second quarter of this year.

So far, OnePlus has been gradually revealing key details about the OnePlus 15T. Today, the brand released a new poster showcasing the phone’s design and colour options and confirmed it will launch later this month in China.

OnePlus 15T design, color options revealed

The poster shared by OnePlus reveals that the OnePlus 15T’s overall design appears consistent with the OnePlus 15, and it is not too different from last year’s OnePlus 13T.

The 15T is a compact phone featuring a clean rear panel and a camera module placed in the upper corner. The teaser also confirms it will be available in a green option and a darker shade that appears brown or graphite. Apart from these color options, the 15T is also expected to arrive in white.

OnePlus President Li Jie has previously described the device as a “small-screen powerhouse.” The OnePlus 15T is expected to feature a 6.32-inch flat display with extremely narrow symmetrical bezels on all four sides. For security, it will feature an ultrasonic in-screen fingerprint sensor.

A Geekbench listing of the device that surfaced last week revealed that it will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset. The device managed to achieve an impressive score of 4.45 million on AnTuTu benchmarks.

The OnePlus 15T is confirmed to pack a 7,500mAh battery, along with 100W wired fast charging and 50W wireless charging. It will run on ColorOS 16-based Android 16.

On the camera side, the phone is tipped to include a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera designed to improve long-range photography. Despite including a periscope lens and a large battery, the camera bump is said to remain relatively slim. It is also confirmed to offer an IP68/69-level of dust and water resistance.

 Oppo has confirmed that the Find N6 foldable smartphone will debut in China on March 17. Ahead of the launch, the company has released its first teaser video, revealing the phone’s design and colour options. The Find N6 is also expected to address one of the biggest concerns with foldable devices: the visible crease on the inner display.

Oppo aims to minimize foldable display crease

Oppo says the Oppo Find N6 has been designed with a new engineering approach that combines a titanium alloy hinge with a special memory glass layer. Together, these components aim to reduce the crease and maintain a flatter display surface even after prolonged use.

The hinge structure reportedly distributes physical stress more effectively when the phone is folded or unfolded. Meanwhile, the memory glass is said to restore the display’s flatness after opening the device. Oppo suggests this design could significantly reduce the crease visibility compared to earlier foldable phones.

The Find N6 will support a new Oppo AI stylus, which is expected to expand the functionality of the large internal display. The stylus is intended to make writing, note-taking and creative tasks easier on the foldable screen.

The official pre-orders page confirms that the Find N6 will come in three shades, such as Golden Orange, Original Titanium, and Deep Black. It will be available in three options: 12GB+256GB, 16GB+512GB, and 16GB+1TB, which will have support for satellite connectivity.

Leaked specifications suggest the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5-powered foldable phone could feature an 8.12-inch inner display and a 6.62-inch cover screen. The device may run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 (7-core) processor and include a battery close to 6000mAh with fast charging support. The rear camera system is expected to include a 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 primary sensor, accompanied by a pair of 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 sensors for ultra-wide and periscope telephoto cameras.
