vivo has revealed which of its new X300 series smartphones can use the company's redesigned 200mm and 400mm teleconverter lenses, with the 400mm G2 Ultra currently exclusive to the X300 Ultra.
vivo has published the official compatibility list for its newly redesigned teleconverter lenses, clarifying which of its X300 series smartphones can take advantage of the company's external photography accessories. The announcement comes shortly after the launch of the X300 Ultra and X300s in China, which were introduced alongside the new G2 and G2 Ultra teleconverters.
New Teleconverter Lineup and Pricing
The 200mm teleconverter, marketed as the G2, carries a price tag of CNY 999 (approximately $145) and represents a significant upgrade to vivo's mobile photography ecosystem. This lens is compatible with the newly launched X300 Ultra and X300s, as well as the X300 Pro, X300, and the X200 Ultra.
For users seeking even greater zoom capabilities, vivo offers the G2 Ultra 400mm teleconverter at CNY 1,999 (around $290). Currently, this premium accessory is exclusive to the X300 Ultra, though vivo has confirmed plans to extend compatibility to the X300 Pro and X200 Ultra in the future.
Backward Compatibility Maintained
In a move that benefits existing vivo users, the company has ensured that the older 2.35x teleconverter, originally introduced with the X200 Ultra, remains compatible with the newer X300 series devices. This includes the X300 Ultra, X300s, X300 Pro, and X300, allowing users to continue using their existing accessories without requiring immediate upgrades.
Hands-on Experience at MWC
vivo showcased both the G2 and G2 Ultra teleconverters for the X300 Ultra at Mobile World Congress earlier this year. The company demonstrated how these accessories can significantly enhance the photographic capabilities of compatible smartphones, particularly for users interested in wildlife photography, sports events, or any scenario requiring substantial optical reach.
The teleconverters represent vivo's continued investment in mobile photography accessories, building upon the success of previous generations and expanding the creative possibilities for smartphone photographers who want to push beyond the limitations of built-in camera systems.
The compatibility list provides clarity for potential buyers considering the X300 series or the teleconverters as separate purchases, ensuring they can make informed decisions about which combinations will work together. This transparency is particularly valuable given the premium pricing of these accessories and the significant investment required for the complete photography setup.
