MANILA, Philippines (June 2026) — Tiny details often go unnoticed in everyday life. A bird resting on a branch, the texture of a flower, or a distant public sculpture can easily disappear into the background. With the vivo X300 FE paired with the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2, those faraway subjects suddenly come into sharp focus.
The accessory expands the phone’s zoom capabilities to as much as 1,600mm, allowing users to capture distant subjects with significantly more detail than standard smartphone zoom.
Seeing what your eyes normally miss
One comparison shared by vivo shows a violinist statue photographed from a standard 23mm wide-angle view. While the sculpture is clearly part of the scene, it appears small and easy to overlook.
Using the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 at 1,600mm tells a different story. The same statue fills the frame, revealing textures and craftsmanship that are barely visible in the wider shot.
The comparison highlights how long-range photography can reveal details that would otherwise remain hidden.
Closer shots without getting closer
The difference becomes even more noticeable when photographing nature.
A roadside flower remains visible using the X300 FE’s built-in zoom, but many of its finer textures are lost because of the distance. Adding the telephoto extender produces a tighter image with clearer edges and more visible details.
Wildlife photography also benefits from the added reach. Birds perched far away become easier to photograph without disturbing them, producing images with improved sharpness and definition compared with using the smartphone alone.
Turning a smartphone into a long-range camera
The vivo X300 FE already offers both wide-angle and telephoto shooting options, but the ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 pushes its capabilities much further for users who enjoy photography.
Rather than simply enlarging distant subjects, the accessory helps preserve more detail, making it useful for travel, nature photography, landmarks, concerts and other situations where getting physically closer is not possible.
The vivo X300 FE is available nationwide for PHP 54,999 (approximately US$950).
Buyers who want the complete photography package can get a bundle that includes the vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 for PHP 68,998 (approximately US$1,190).
Both are available through vivo stores nationwide, the vivo e-store, the vivo official app, Shopee and Lazada. Purchases made through the vivo e-store or official app also include a complimentary vivo photography bag while supplies last.
