Testing: ZEISS Zoom Lens for Vivo X200 High-End Smartphone
Photography Powerhouse: Vivo's X200 Ultra and Zeiss 2.35x Telephoto Converter
If you're a photography enthusiast, be ready to be blowing your mind with Vivo's latest masterpiece - the X200 Ultra. Powered by an impressive triple 50-megapixel camera system and a collaborative effort with Zeiss, this phone proves to be a force to reckon with in the world of smartphone photography. But that's just the beginning.
New to the scene is the Zeiss 2.35x Telephoto Converter, a game-changer that, when paired with Vivo's X200 Ultra, elevates your long-distance shooting game to unprecedented heights. Thanks to a Kepler optical structure, this puppy quadruples the phone's native 85mm telephoto lens, giving you an impressive 200mm focal length - the equivalent of 8.7x zoom in 35mm format[1][2][5]. You can finally say goodbye to grainy, far-off pictures and hello to crystal-clear, stunning details.
Now, let's talk about the lens. Constructed from a sleek combination of metal and 13 glass elements, the Zeiss 2.35x telephoto converter lens is as durable as it is beautiful. Snapping onto the phone via a special, snap-on case mount, it feels every bit as premium as its appearance[2]. Top off the ensemble with a camera grip that packs a punch, and you've got a setup that wouldn't look out of place on a real camera[2]. With its built-in shutter button, two camera setting dials, and an additional 2,300 mAh battery, you'll be taking top-quality shots like a pro[2]. But don't just take our word for it - test it out for yourself at your next concert, vacation, or sporting event.
With great power, however, comes some limitations. Despite the larger sensor size compared to other phones, it's still a fraction of what a dedicated camera offers, resulting in a slightly digitally sharpened finish[2]. But no worries - as long as you're shooting in good lighting and have a steady hand to keep camera shake at bay, you'll be continuously amazed by what this phone can accomplish[2]. In fact, we were able to snap a 800mm portrait of a friend from over 20 feet away, showcasing strong bokeh and background compression for a smartphone[2].
For those unacquainted with camera terminology, 800mm is roughly a 34X zoom when comparing it to an iPhone's capabilities[2], a feat no phone has achieved thus far. Of course, low-light conditions may take a toll on image quality, but the end result remains impressive for a device of this size and affordability[2]. If you're a mobile photography enthusiast, this lens is a must-have[2].
This ultimate photography kit retails in China for a reasonable CNY 1,299, equivalent to approximately $178 once converted[1][2][5]. With the X200 Ultra itself priced at around $900[1][2]: the grand total comes to about $1,120 - a steal compared to traditional camera lens costs.
Speaking of the X200 Ultra - it's not just the Zeiss 2.35x Telephoto Converter Lens that makes this phone a standout. As a top-tier flagship phone, it's equipped with the best processor, camera hardware, and screen available. With the phone alone, you can still capture fantastic images, although they may lack the extra oomph that comes with the 200mm lens[2].
So, ready to take your mobile photography game to the next level? Get your hands on Vivo's X200 Ultra and Zeiss 2.35x Telephoto Converter, and prepare yourself for a world of jaw-dropping, far-off shots.
