Vivo X300 Ultra Beats Galaxy S26 Ultra With 3 Big Sensors, Wins Best Camera Phone of 2026

ZDNET’s latest head-to-head named Vivo’s X300 Ultra the best camera phone of 2026 after a direct comparison with Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Three large sensors helped Vivo deliver more detail, contrast and natural bokeh in many main, telephoto and ultrawide shots, while Samsung often looked oversharpened or noisier at 1.5x digital zoom.
Samsung still won some scenes: its 23mm framing was preferred in certain compositions, its night shots had stronger saturation and contrast, and its sunset portraits handled highlights more naturally.
Vivo pulled ahead for photographers with a 35mm main camera, stronger telemacro focus, 10x usability where Samsung failed to focus, and film-style color tools the reviewer said no rival makes as simple.
