Unbox Therapy Calls vivo X300 Pro “Wild”: Smartphone or Camera?

A Global Tech Voice Reacts

When Lewis Hilsenteger, better known as the host of Unbox Therapy, calls a device “wild,” the tech world listens. His latest YouTube video reviewing the vivo X300 Pro Photographer Kit has sparked conversations across the globe, especially here in the Philippines where vivo has a strong following.

During the review, Lewis tested the telephoto extender and grip kit, pushing the X300 Pro into territory that feels less like a smartphone and more like a professional camera. While watching zoom stabilization at 4K 30FPS, he asked his team in disbelief: “Are you on a tripod?” When told it was handheld footage, his reaction was immediate: “That’s crazy… the stabilization is wild.”

I’ve always believed that validation from global voices matters. For readers, this means the X300 Pro isn’t just another flagship—it’s a device that’s catching the attention of one of the most influential reviewers in the world. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Smartphone cameras are all the same.”

Optics That Redefine Expectations

Lewis emphasized that the Photographer Kit produces images that “don’t look like they came from a smartphone.” The ZEISS Telephoto Extender gives the device capabilities rarely seen in mobile imaging. His comment, “There is still a place for optics,” highlights a crucial point: while computational photography dominates the industry, vivo is doubling down on hardware innovation.

I’ve always argued that optics are the soul of photography. For readers, this means the X300 Pro isn’t just relying on software tricks—it’s delivering real optical performance. And yes, it also means you can finally stop pretending digital zoom is “good enough.”

More Camera Than Smartphone

What stood out most in Lewis’s review was his conclusion: “It’s a lot more like a camera than a smartphone at this point.” That statement is now fueling debates among creators and enthusiasts. Is the X300 Pro redefining what a smartphone can be?

With its 200MP ZEISS APO Telephoto Camera, paired with stabilization that rivals professional gear, the X300 Pro blurs the line between mobile device and dedicated camera.

I’ve always said that smartphones should aspire to be more than communication tools. For readers, this means the X300 Pro is a creative instrument, capable of professional-grade results without the bulk of DSLRs. And yes, it also means you can finally stop carrying a backpack full of lenses to every shoot.

Community Buzz and Speculation

The reaction video has sparked speculation across the tech community. Comments under the video include bold statements like “Best camera phone in 2025.” Whether or not that title holds, the buzz is undeniable.

I’ve always believed that community reactions shape perception as much as specs do. For readers, this means the X300 Pro isn’t just a device—it’s becoming a conversation starter. And yes, it also means you can finally stop debating which phone has the “best night mode” because this one is rewriting the rules.

I’ve always argued that accessibility defines adoption. For readers, this means upgrading to the Telephoto King is easier than ever. And yes, it also means you can finally stop saying, “Flagships are out of reach.”

My Take: Why This Matters

I’ve covered countless smartphone launches, but the vivo X300 Pro stands out because it’s practical innovation. It doesn’t just promise—it delivers. The stabilization, optics, and accessories make it more than a phone. It’s a tool for creators, travelers, and everyday users who want professional results without professional hassle.
