vivo X200 Ultra is getting an add-on zoom lens

Yesterday, vivo teased a photography kit for its upcoming X200 Ultra flagship which is due to launch on April 21 in China. That won't be the only optional camera accessory for the X200 Ultra as vivo product manager Han Boxiao shared details about an additional add-on zoom lens co-engineered with Zeiss.

This lens attaches to the X200 Ultra's photography kit via a custom adapter and sits over the phone’s 200MP periscope zoom lens. It features an intricate 13-piece glass lens setup, expanding the 200MP sensor’s native 3.7x optical zoom.

The add-on zoom lens offers a f/2.3 aperture with 200mm equivalent focal length with 8.7x optical zoom and up to 70x hybrid zoom. The post claims that shots up to 800mm focal length (35x zoom) are “highly usable” while shots can go up to 1600mm range (70x zoom).
