April 21 this year Vivo plans to unveil its X200 Ultra flagship smartphone release in China. But this isn’t just another fancy smartphone.
Vivo is aiming to give serious camera lovers something to get excited about, with some cool new add-ons and powerful camera tech packed in.
Zoom Just Got Way Better — Thanks to Zeiss
The X200 Ultra received its exclusive detachable zoom lens through the collaboration between Vivo and Zeiss which stands as the camera specialist in its industry.
This external lens mounts neatly over the phone’s built-in 200MP periscope camera using a custom adapter, optical zoom going from 3.7x to an impressive 8.7x
And with this add-on?
The camera features a maximum hybrid zoom capability that stretches up to 70x.
Even cooler — this lens brings a f/2.3 aperture and a 200mm equivalent focal length.
Vivo claims that you can capture some pretty impressive shots at 800mm (that’s 35x zoom) — and if you really want to push the limits, you can even stretch it to 1600mm (which is 70x zoom).
That means clear photos of really faraway stuff — like:
- Wildlife
- Concerts
- Cityscapes from a rooftop
A Photography Kit That Feels Like a Real Camera
If you’re into mobile photography, this part’s for you.
Vivo is offering a full-on Photography Kit for the X200 Ultra — and yes, it includes a detachable zoom lens.(sold separately for some variants)
Here’s what’s inside:
- A camera-style grip with a built-in 2,300mAh battery (for longer shoots)
- A physical shutter button, just like on real cameras
- A sturdy mount to hold everything steady
- A Zeiss-made external zoom lens you can snap on when needed
This setup gives you that DSLR-like feel — more control, more comfort, and better battery life for those epic shooting days.
Triple Camera Power
The phone itself comes with a powerful triple camera setup:
- 50MP main camera — perfect for everyday shots
- 50MP ultra-wide lens — great for landscapes or group pics
- 200MP periscope zoom lens — for those crisp close-ups from far away
And when you add the external Zeiss zoom lens?
You’re getting up to 70x zoom, without your photos turning into blurry pixels.

Under the hood, the X200 Ultra runs on Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.
