The vivo X300 FE is not vivo’s full Ultra camera rig, but at SGD 1,099 with an optional SGD 299 ZEISS Telephoto Extender Kit, it may be Singapore’s most accessible official way into the phone-and-telephoto-extender trend.

The Xiaomi 17T starts from SGD 799 and keeps the same 50MP Leica 5x telephoto camera as the Pro, making the regular model the surprise bargain of the series.

Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra shows how smartphone cameras are still improving through engineering refinements — from Leica APO optics to a 1-inch LOFIC sensor and mechanical telephoto zoom.

The vivo V50 makes a bold claim in a segment saturated by spec-driven sameness: You don’t have to spend lots of money to have great cameras on your phone.
