5 articles · Updated · PhoneArena · May 27

Vivo’s X300 Ultra stacks a 200MP main camera and 200MP periscope telephoto against the iPhone 17 Pro’s 48MP main, ultra-wide and telephoto setup in the latest side-by-side comparison.
Sensor size is a key differentiator: Vivo pairs a 1/1.12-inch main sensor and 1/1.4-inch telephoto with OIS, while Apple uses smaller 1/1.28-inch and 1/2.55-inch sensors plus sensor-shift stabilization.
Lens choices also diverge, with Vivo using 35mm, 14mm and 85mm focal lengths and 3.7x optical zoom, versus Apple’s 24mm, 13mm and 100mm arrangement with 4.0x zoom.
On the front, Vivo lists a 50MP selfie camera, while the iPhone 17 Pro is shown with an 18MP front camera and Time-of-Flight support, underscoring Vivo’s push to frame the X300 Ultra as Apple’s toughest camera rival.

Can Apple's software magic truly defeat Vivo's massive 200MP sensor in the ultimate camera showdown?

Are 200MP smartphone cameras a true revolution or just the latest expensive marketing gimmick for consumers?
