Vivo X300 Ultra Brings Fast-Paced Imaging Challenge to NBA House Philippines

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — How quickly can you spot a subject, frame it, and capture it from a distance? At the Philippines’ first-ever NBA House, Vivo turned that question into an exciting imaging challenge featuring the Vivo X300 Ultra.

Held from August 29 to 30 at SPACE at One Ayala, NBA House Philippines brought basketball fans together for an immersive celebration of the sport and its culture. The two-day event blended basketball, fashion, music, and entertainment, with special appearances from basketball icons Jason Kidd, Lauren Jackson, and Tony Parker.

As one of the event partners, Vivo brought its mobile imaging technology into the spotlight through the Vivo Imaging Challenge. Participants were tasked with finding specific subjects around the venue and capturing them within a limited amount of time using the Vivo X300 Ultra paired with the 400mm Equivalent Vivo ZEISS Telephoto Extender Gen 2 Ultra.

With a lively and crowded event environment around them, participants had to stay alert and make quick decisions. They needed to identify the correct subject, adjust their framing, and capture the shot from where they were standing—all within seconds.

The challenge transformed smartphone photography into an interactive experience. Rather than simply testing a camera at a display booth, attendees had to actively use the Vivo X300 Ultra while navigating the movement and excitement of NBA House.

The experience also demonstrated the practical benefits of extended telephoto imaging. The Vivo X300 Ultra and its telephoto extender kit allow users to frame distant subjects without physically moving closer, making the setup particularly useful for sporting events, concerts, and other crowded venues where distance and limited space can make photography challenging.

For participants, the goal was simple: spot the target, find the right composition, and trust the technology to bring the subject closer.

Those who joined the challenge also received exclusive prizes, including a puffer bag, X80 Bluetooth speaker, and Vivo Air Buds, giving fans an additional keepsake from the event.

The Vivo activation added another layer to NBA House Philippines, where basketball culture extended beyond the court and brought legends, fans, creators, and enthusiasts together under one roof.

The Vivo X300 Ultra is now available for PHP 109,999 at Vivo concept stores nationwide and through the Vivo e-store. For the latest updates, follow Vivo Philippines on social media or visit the official Vivo website.

Basketball Legends Jason Kidd and Lauren Jackson Share Career Lessons with Filipino Fans at Vivo x NBA Meet-and-Greet

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Filipino basketball fans had a rare opportunity to get up close with two of the sport’s most celebrated figures as NBA champion Jason Kidd and WNBA legend Lauren Jackson joined an intimate Vivo x NBA meet-and-greet at the Vivo Concept Store in SM Megamall.

Held on August 28, the exclusive gathering brought Kidd and Jackson together with 30 selected fans for an afternoon filled with basketball stories, career insights, and personal interactions. The two Hall of Famers reflected on the experiences that shaped their decorated careers, including dealing with pressure, learning from failure, building strong relationships with teammates, and continuing to grow beyond the basketball court.

Lessons from Basketball Legends

For Kidd, whose career includes an NBA championship, 10 All-Star selections, Olympic gold, Hall of Fame recognition, and coaching success, one of the most important lessons has been learning to appreciate every stage of the journey.

“Enjoy it,” Kidd shared, emphasizing the importance of appreciating the moment despite the intense competitiveness of professional basketball.

He also spoke candidly about failure and the value of taking responsibility for mistakes. According to Kidd, setbacks are inevitable, but learning from them is what ultimately matters.

His message resonated with Jervey Limjoco of Mandaluyong, a self-proclaimed No. 1 Jason Kidd fan in the Philippines. Limjoco highlighted Kidd’s leadership, court vision, passing ability, and talent for making the players around him better.

Jackson, a three-time WNBA MVP, two-time WNBA champion, Olympic medalist, and Hall of Famer, also reflected on her remarkable journey, including her return to basketball following an eight-year break.

Her advice to young athletes was straightforward: create space for the game, enjoy it, and allow themselves to love the sport.

The conversation eventually led to the event’s highly anticipated meet-and-greet. Fans had the opportunity to personally meet Kidd and Jackson, receive exclusive posters, and take official photos with the basketball icons.

Capturing Basketball Moments Through Technology

The event also explored how smartphone technology has transformed the way fans experience and preserve special moments.

Kidd noted how smartphones make it easier to stay connected with family and friends, while Jackson pointed out how technology can bring distant sporting events closer to fans through their phones.

That idea was showcased during the event as the Vivo X300 Ultra captured Kidd and Jackson alongside Filipino fans and livestreamed the gathering.

Featuring Triple ZEISS Master Lenses and telephoto capabilities reaching up to 400mm with ZEISS Telephoto Extenders, the Vivo X300 Ultra is designed to bring distant subjects closer while preserving important moments in detail.

The Vivo X300 Ultra is available for ₱109,999 at Vivo Concept Stores nationwide and the Vivo e-store.

Danny Green Inspires Filipino Fans at Vivo x NBA Meet and Greet in Manila

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Filipino basketball fans were treated to a memorable experience as three-time NBA champion Danny Green, known to many as the “Green Ranger,” met fans during the Vivo x National Basketball Association (NBA) Meet and Greet on March 13, 2026, at the Vivo Concept Store in SM Megamall.

The exclusive event gave 25 lucky fans the rare opportunity to meet the NBA veteran up close. Green didn’t just sign autographs and pose for photos; he also shared valuable insights from his 15-year NBA career and his journey after professional basketball.

“There’s no real secret to it,” Green said while sharing advice with fans. “Don’t take no for an answer. You have to be persistent and consistent in your work.”

Fans eagerly captured the memorable moments using the Vivo V70 5G. Equipped with a 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera and AI Stage Mode, the smartphone made it easy for attendees to photograph every smile, handshake, and groufie with the NBA champion.

From the court to the broadcast booth

Green, who won NBA championships with the San Antonio Spurs, Toronto Raptors, and Los Angeles Lakers, has transitioned into sports media after retiring from professional basketball. Today, he works as an analyst for ESPN and Spectrum SportsNet and hosts the show Inside the Green Room.

“As a player, preparation is about performance,” Green explained. “As a broadcaster, I remind myself who I’m working for before I go on air—the fans watching and trying to understand the game.”

For many fans present, hearing Green share personal experiences and life lessons made the event even more meaningful.

Filipino basketball passion

Green also expressed admiration for the enthusiasm of Filipino basketball fans.

“I was very overwhelmed by the passion that Filipino fans have for the game. You can really feel how much people love basketball here,” he said.

Among the attendees was Glenmarc “Flash” Antonio, Sports Director of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila (PLM), who expressed gratitude to Vivo for bringing international basketball stars to the country.

“It’s always nice to meet winners who’ve done it at the highest level. It’s inspiring for young people to see someone they can look up to. We’re thankful to Vivo for bringing NBA stars like Danny Green and we hope to see more in the future,” he said.

Capturing championship moments with Vivo V70

The Vivo V70 also took center stage during the event, enabling fans to capture clear photos even from a distance with its 50MP ZEISS Super Telephoto Camera featuring up to 100x zoom. Meanwhile, the upgraded AI Stage Mode with up to 20x zoom ensures sharp shots during concerts, events, and live performances.

Powered by a massive 6500mAh BlueVolt battery with 90W FlashCharge, the device is built to keep up with every highlight moment.

A champion’s mindset

Beyond the photos and fan interactions, Green left attendees with a powerful reminder.

“Don’t be afraid to fail and make mistakes. That’s how you learn and improve,” he told the crowd. “There’s no dream you can’t accomplish if you put your mind to it.”

The Vivo x NBA Meet and Greet was more than just a fan event—it was an inspiring experience that allowed Filipino basketball enthusiasts to connect with a champion’s mindset while capturing unforgettable moments with the Vivo V70.
