Following the vivo X200 Ultra's launch date announcement, the brand now says it will have photography-focused accessories.

The teaser camera kit and external lens

A true flagship photography soon?

The information was confirmed by vivo's product manager Han Boxiao, who said that the upcoming flagship will also come with an external lens co-developed by ZEISS and a camera kit. This is made possible with a specially designed case so that the lens can be mounted easily on the 200MP large sensor.

When attached, it will become a 200MP 200mm f/2.3 (typical 8.7x) lens. Based on the teasers, it uses 13 high-transmittance glass lenses divided into 3 groups of Kepler structure, which further extends X200 Ultra's telephoto capability by 2.35x, providing a true optical zoom.

Meanwhile, the brand claims its secondary RMSC point at 800mm (35x) remains highly usable, while the 1600mm (70x) setting provides an effect comparable to the original 30x.

The camera grip

Moving forward, there will also be a photography kit providing users a better handle on the X200 Ultra. It can also be attached through a USB-C port, while the case brings a bracket design. Additionally, vivo also added a new button on top of the camera shutter.

Finally, vivo also shared a few sample shots taken using the aforementioned detachable lens.
