There is a ton of demand in creating visuals for my businesses and of course, for my followers).</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><div style="line-height:1"><em>&quot;Sobrang clear and detailed niya, whether mag-picture o mag-video. Nung tinry ko &#x27;yung zoom nito, super clear pa rin. Madaling ma-achieve &#x27;yung visual at aesthetic na gusto as content creator.&quot;</em></div><p style="line-height:1">(It is so clear and detailed, whether you take a picture or video. When I tried to zoom in, it was still super clear. It is so easy to achieve the visual and aesthetic that I wanted as a content creator).</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Storytelling also plays an important role for Anne Curtis, who balances life as a mother, host, actress, and content creator, from filming reels to attending fashion week events.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">&quot;It is always nice to be with my vivo family. I am always excited to introduce the new phones,&quot; said Curtis. &quot;I am so excited to introduce this one because it has so many new things. When it comes to fashion and style, it is so important to have a camera that shows the detail. I like the cinematic style of the video. We like to shoot our content, our BTS, our reels, so having a great camera is essential.&quot;</p><div style="line-height:1"><br/></div><div style="line-height:1"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/178028666399211.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Fashion, glamour, and crystal-clear moments captured in one unforgettable evening. <em>Photo source: vivo </em></span></span></span></div><div style="line-height:1"><strong>Masterclass on capturing moments</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">The 6.82-inch flagship phone pushes smartphone camera technology to an advanced level. Switching lenses allows users to capture shots similar to those taken by seasoned professionals.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">One of the most respected names in fashion and commercial photography, BJ Pascual, shared his expertise in a masterclass focused on the vivo X300 Ultra&#x27;s pro-level capabilities.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">&quot;This smartphone is a powerhouse when it comes to photography,&quot; said Pascual. </p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">After more than 18 years in the photography industry, Pascual has photographed thousands of A-list celebrity portraits and iconic magazine covers, building a reputation grounded in uncompromising quality.</p><div style="line-height:1"><br/></div><div style="line-height:1"><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:960px;display:block" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17802865840141.jpg" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/><span class="fr-inner">Spotlight-ready looks and cinematic shots took center stage at the launch event. <em>Photo source: vivo </em></span></span></span></div><p style="line-height:1">&quot;Not just in photography, but in everything you do. That is why I always make it a point to work with tools that deliver top-tier results. The vivo X300 Ultra makes pro-level photography effortless with just a tap,&quot; said Pascual.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">One of the highlights of vivo X300 Ultra is its camera-inspired Zeiss Master Lens collection, paired with two advanced telephoto lenses that extend the device&#x27;s camera capabilities.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Pascual first highlighted the 14mm Zeiss ultra-wide-angle camera equipped with a 50MP ultra-large sensor, which he described as the Big Picture Lens.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">&quot;At 14mm, everything looks more expensive, buildings look taller, spaces look larger, and scenes feel more dramatic,&quot; explained Pascual.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Pascual also put the vivo X300 Ultra to the test using Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera as his muses. He first captured shots using his professional working camera before recreating them using the vivo X300 Ultra with the 14mm, 35mm, and 85mm lenses. The photos were later shown side by side on a massive screen at the venue, where the results appeared visually identical.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">&quot;Zeiss lenses can be very, very pricey, but now through vivo X300 Ultra, you can have them at your fingertips,&quot; said Pascual.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Millimeter measurements may often sound confusing, so Pascual simplified the functions of the vivo X300 Ultra&#x27;s triple camera setup through practical photography tips.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">The 14mm lens is ideal wide-angle-shots that capture the entire environment. The 35mm lens, also known as the standard lens, offers one of the most flattering perspectives for full-body shots. Most smartphones already use this lens by default. The 85mm lens, meanwhile, excels in close-up and beauty photography.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">For Lulu Liu, Brand Marketing Director of vivo Philippines, the vivo X300 stands above the competition.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">&quot;This is the first time in the Philippines to endorse a super top-line device. I can probably say the vivo X300 Ultra is number one in this industry,&quot; said Liu. &quot;Good memories deserve to be recorded. vivo helps people preserve memories through photos and videos that are clear and vivid.&quot;</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><div style="line-height:1"><strong>All-in-one investment</strong></div><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">The vivo X300 Ultra is priced at P109,999, while the Photographer Kit retails for P149,999. Meanwhile, the concert-ready camera phone, the vivo X300 FE, is available for P54,999.</p><div style="line-height:1"> </div><p style="line-height:1">Customers may also purchase the Telephoto Extender Kit for P13,999. Exclusive freebies such as limited-edition vivo Watch GT 2 and vivo Buds Air 3 are available for pre-orders from May 23 to June 5, 2026.
