The photography beast is coming back, but it might be shedding a limb. As of Tuesday, December 30, 2025, fresh leaks from tipster Digital Chat Station suggest the upcoming Vivo X300 Ultra is ditching the dedicated camera button (that “Action Button” vibe) that just debuted on the X200 Ultra last year.
The thing is, Vivo reportedly felt the button was taking up too much internal space for something people weren’t using every day. Or nothing. Let’s be real, most of us just tap the screen anyway. Those too.

The “Ultra” Leak: Quick Field Notes
This phone is shaping up to be a hardware monster, even without the extra button. Here is what’s under the hood:
-
The Screen: We’re looking at a 6.82-inch flat 2K BOE display. It’s using “LIPO” tech for ultra-thin, uniform bezels. Basically, it’s all screen, no junk.
-
The Battery: This is the kicker—a massive 7,000mAh battery. That is huge for a flagship. It’s an ongoing situation where Vivo is trying to kill “battery anxiety” for good.
-
The Brain: It’ll run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5.1 Expect it to be obscenely fast.
-
The Cameras: Still the main event. Rumors point to a Dual 200MP setup (Main + Periscope) alongside a 50MP ultra-wide. It’s basically a professional camera that happens to make phone calls.

Vivo X300 Ultra vs. X200 Ultra: What’s Changing?
| Feature | Vivo X200 Ultra (2024/25) | Vivo X300 Ultra (Expected 2026) |
| Camera Button | Included (with sliding gestures) | Removed (likely for internal space) |
| Battery | 6,000mAh | 7,000mAh |
| Main Sensor | 50MP | 200MP (Sony LYT-901) |
| Launch Date | April 2025 | March 2026 (Tipped) |
When Can You Get It?
And here’s the kicker: while the X200 Ultra was mostly a China-only darling, the X300 Ultra (Model V2562) has already been spotted in European and global databases (EEC).2
-
China Launch: Expected March 2026.
-
Global/India Launch: Likely Q2 2026 (April–June).
It’s an ongoing situation where Vivo is moving the periscope sensor around to make room for that massive battery, so the “camera island” on the back will look similar but the internals are a total redesign.
