- I took the two best camera phones to the streets of Tokyo and snapped over 100 photos and videos. Presented in semi-vlog format. These videos take a long time to do, so please subscribe to my channel to support!
The Xiaomi 14 Ultra uses the new Sony LYTIA-900 1-inch sensor compared to Vivo X100 Pro's Sony IMX989. Plus Xiaomi has a variable aperture. But Vivo has a dedicated V3 chip for image processing.

These two phones are one of the best right now.
This was the comparison I was waiting for! Thank you! It's amazing to see how close they are. Can't go wrong either way and I would image they're both much better than latest Apple and Samsung devices.
For having seen the Apple results and camera software and for having and using the S24 ultra and I can guarantee you that you're right. Nonetheless, if you don't intend to spend so much money it's worth to look at Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra variant for the USA, Xiaomi 11 Ultra (but no hdmi put) and Xiaomi 13 Ultra.
I bought the X100 Pro because of you Ben. Thanks for the great reviews as always.
Thank you!!!
how,s the battery life, on my x90 pro+ it sucks, it drains so much on idle, i can barely get 5 hours screen on time in a day before i'm at 15%, how much screen on time you can get on yours ?
@@adyady3099 I get about 11-12 hours screen on time.
How is battery draining? And mediatek lag seen ?
Now buy mi 14 ultra
Best in the business. Keep up the awesome work. Non bias, straight up, thought out reviews!
theres something about ben that's not boring. I've seen some other reviewers do comparisons but ben by far is the most interesting.
Thank you
Totally agree! ❤❤❤
100% agree. he keeps it subtle without being boring
bro the Vivo X100 Pro's Cinematic mode made those people walking shot look like straight out of a movie omg
It's great that Xiaomi and Vivo (Oppo and Honor too) keep improving up their photography so much.
I hope it will be enough to wake up Apple and Samsung that are getting lazier each year..
nope it won't, the average consumer thinks Apple and Samsung are the greatest on this planet, take a look at any popular youtuber. Mrwhosetheboss shills both Apple and Samsung as the best phones, MKBHD says the OP 12 is not worth reviewing at first because it's not that different but the S24 Ultra is such a good phone "why buy something else". It's not even the average person's fault anymore it seems reviewers are just as biased and incompetent apart from people like ben who actually like tech.
@@kaiserfakinaway5909 exactly
@@kaiserfakinaway5909i used to love mrwhosetheboss but he became such a fucking content farmer who's only goal is to get as much views as possible and has nothing authentic left about it.
And as you say he shills so much to Apple and even more to Samsung.
@@omnihein9322 Samsung was worth shilling back in the day like back in the s7 edge and s8+ days, no one got close. Back then no one properly shilled Samsung, they just acted like android was poor man's iphone and chinese phones were actually not that great products but great in terms of value such as Xiaomi's Mi series phones till Mi 8 or something.
Mrwhosetheboss just does what can garner the most views with the least effort. Remember back in the day when he used to do Vivo reviews and even though they were sponsored, you couldn't argue with the guy. Look at him now, Vivo either doesn't sponsor him or doesn't send him phones and he's all but forgotten them. Or take a look at how he didn't make a Find X6 Pro review but does to it for Xiaomi, he's been a Xiaomi fanboy for a while now and that was evident with the Mi 11 Ultra review and from that day on it felt like he'd just parrot what everyone else was saying because 90% of normies watch reviews to make themselves feel good about their purchase or how their fav brand is getting praised (case in point, Xiaomi's rabid fanbase).
@@kaiserfakinaway5909they are paid
How many tech reviewer actually took the effort to give reviews of phone with real life situations? Ben certainly does it with conviction. Thanks bro for your honest opinion on every products. Appreciates your effort here 🙏🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you!
@@bensgadgetreviews I have preordered my Xiaomi 14 Ultra 🙏🏽👍🏽
Actually there's an update that let the Vivo record in 4k 60 FPS in front camera
Origin & Funtouch both got it, and many new phone (X7U, 14U) have been getting this by default if guys were wondering
Surprised he missed that
dude seriously, your videos are so good that's really really amazing, in this one so much little clips here and there but showing us so much good technical scenarios for the cameras AND GOOD LANDSCAPE / IMAGES
+ your analysis are so good, you are going in depth in everything, thanks for your work dude keep it up it is amazing (you should maybe try to do some vlogs sometimes, filming with this device then this device, mixing vlog and camera comparisons xD, but I understand vlogging could be annoying for sure)
my little thoughts :
4:18 to be honest I much prefer the fact that it does not stabilize too much, than too much EIS which would lead to a lot of jitter, which looks and is sooooo bad, I hate when the footage is jittery
(less jitter in the 5x than the 3x in this sequence you showed us)
6:11 yes, as you said throughout the video I LOVE the fact that Xiaomi does not overexposes the shots, that it keeps everything well controlled, giving images that have natural colors AND GOOD CONTRAST, which makes things "pop" and more aesthetically pleasing as you said, more natural, more contrast, everything stand out...
Thank you
Ben, you're my best mobile reviewer overall. You have a plus, your dedication to your job/hobby is insane. Proud of you.
Thank you!!
You know Ben,imho, as maybe Vivo surpass Xiaomi in some points(camera comparison) I still prefer Xiaomi experience due several items. As I am not a common user, I mean, once I buy a product I use it till is end of life so I like manage my money as better I can. Relating this comparison, Xiaomi can really get better by Xiaomi team itself or bless god, to the community that can really be a plus. I am owner of a Xiaomi Mi9 explorer edition and his camera got really better thanks some camera mods (gcam and Xiaomi Leica cam mod). I guess Xiaomi will be better in the end respect vivo due the community(root,roms,mods) that in vivo apperantly isn't exist. Vivo is like an "Android Iphone", ready to use, no more.
Really great comparison! I'm waiting on my Vivo X100 Pro to get delivered but Vivo held up well and I believe they are coming out with a Ultra version of the X100 which should be very crazy good!
I got one and i REALLY enjoy using mine.
yeah im waiting for the ultra version, it will have better camera, better screen, better cpu etc
@@adyady3099 I wish I could wait but I agree, it will be better overall.
The cpu is rumoured to be Snapdragon 8 gen 3 which is not better than dimensity@@adyady3099
Awesome video and summary - looking forward to more videos on the 14 Ultra
Finally someone that tests the camera properly. In all the other reviews and comparisons to Samsung and apple, the photos look bad.
Thanks for this video!!
Great review. In my test the Vivo still comes on top. But damn that was close. Its literally just the portrait mode and processing with better HDR that makes the Vivo win.
We have been waiting for it ... Thanks for sharing Ben !
The reviewer and video I've been waiting for
As a X100 Pro user, I find that Vivo's processing tries to capture as much detail as possible in every situation. Thus giving you more of an overexposed HDR look, where details in the shadows and highlights are captured. Not as eye catching, but more room for editing.
The Xiaomi on the other hand in my opinion definitely produces more pleasing colors and light, a more "ready" photo. Keeping things more realistic with darker shadows, which then you lose a bit of detail. More finished photo, less editing required.
As usual, all down to personal preference.
Я бы не сказал, что это детальность, это скорее чрезмерная резкость, с обводами предметов.
how,s the battery life, on my x90 pro+ it sucks, it drains so much on idle, i can barely get 5 hours screen on time in a day before i'm at 15%, how much screen on time you can get on yours ?
@@adyady3099 when I first got the phone, the battery life was really good for both screen on and idle.
But after the most recent update about 2 weeks ago, which was supposed to fix battery drain, it made my battery life worse lol. It drains like 30-35% overnight. Still trying to find a fix for it.
@@TheWertiup30% overnight is crazy, you might have an app doing that check the battery stats, do you got the china or international version?
This is such a great camera battle between some of the best manufacturers in the game right now. I still give the edge to the Xiaomi for the sheer intentionality of the camera system complete with a camera housing and grip. To further things though, Xiaomi has given us every possible hardware option of a true camera in giving the main sensor a variable aperture. No other phone gives you this level of control on a smartphone and this is the really exciting stuff that can push mobile photography/videography to the next level. Vivo has still done a killer job in their own right but the main sensor can also do 4k120 video which is a step ahead still. Great job Ben!
First thing I notice is the sound on the Xiaomi, it's using noise cancellation, sounds a bit weird, is it on the newest update?
Other than that the differences aren't huge in my opinion, the Vivo handles backlit objects a bit better, like the red lights at 6:27 for example.
Funny that a Chinese guy finds Tokyo the best city in the world 😅
Thanks for the video Ben, this is what a lot of people were waiting for.
I genuinely don't understand why, in the west, everyone is still buying iPhones, Pixels, and Galaxy phones - these phones are orders of magnitude better than all of them.
It has a lot to with devices like these two are difficult to get ahold of here in Europe, we in Sweden for example is such a small market Xiaomi doesn't consider us important enough to market and sell any devices in. Personally i want to buy the new 14 Ultra but i don't know if it will be possible.
To be fair, the S24 Ultra remains the most comprehensive phone, boasting superior design, display, speaker, UI, Galaxy AI, video recording capabilities, main camera quality, and a promise of 7 years of OS updates. On the other hand, despite any personal biases against it, the iPhone still outshines much of its competition with its brighter display, superior sound quality from the speakers, a more complete ecosystem, leading video recording capabilities, and significantly longer battery life.
Because I work with a smartphone, not a camera. Western Os are more complete. Please, do not forget that every phone not iOs works thanks to Android
Availability. Most people buy or upgrade their phones via their carriers. If they can't walk to their carrier's store and upgrade to a vivo, then most likely won't.
@@danielkudo4800you're just reading specs bro. Once you use it, you'll understand it's not as unique as it seems.
Wow, Tower Records! Growing up in So Cal, they were a huge part of my teenage years.
Excellent comparison as expected from Ben. Salute.
Ben, I have tested the Vivo 100 Pro's camera against the Oppo x7U in high resolution. At first glance, Vivo's pics are eye pleasing. But once you enlarge the pics taken by the Vivo, the details are lacking. The pics from the Oppo proved lots more details and depth. Having used the Xiaomi 13U for 10 months, I can safely say that Oppo x7U takes pics with more natural colors.
I noticed the same problem on the X90 Pro+, it lacks details when it enlarges the photo, before I had an X70 pro+, and I expected much more from the X90 pro+, I have the impression that it is a physical problem, it seems that the lens is not exactly positioned at the ideal distance from the sensor thus affecting the focus even in high resolution mode, I think Vivo didn't know very well how to deal with the 1" sensor, ahh the night mode of the X70 is much, much superior to that of the X90 and X100, especially in very dark environments
It has something to do with faulty processing... The sensor seem to be stitching images on top of images with slight deviation before previous image...
This issue happens more than 50 percent of the time ..but if focus and images are stacked perfectly then image clarity is awesome...all this can be fixed by an update
Yup. Pretty much what Shibi Chan reported when using Moment lenses on Vivo. It's not the best around.
Just now I tested some full resolution images of s24u downloaded from net and compared with vivo opened in Google photos ..
When zooming all the way I noticed almost similar details level although I have to say Vivo does some bad processing leading to lines and texture seeming to be somewhat look like oil painting...while Samsung's has almost perfect processing.
So in essense samsung photos might look less detailed when viewing normally and zoomed out and vivo looks extra sharp but when pixel peeping both captures details but vivo has some smudgy textures and less defined lines.
These can be attributed to bad processing.
One thing u can check in vivo is taking shot at 10x and notice the preview screen...if there is slight movement of the hand, u will see a lag in frame (previous image before hand movement) the phone then tries to stack previous photo with current photo thus causing slight blending and out of focus of boundaries of objects resulting in smudgy images....this is my take on why vivo has sometimes bad processed images
@@joelconolly5574 the hardware is always capable...
Great content and camera comprision as always Ben's brother
Bem what's your thoughts on the Oppo find x7 ultra? I never saw a full review on that phone from you. Cheers
Ben: *seen*
OMG! 😃👍
So much information in such a brief video. I went forth and back for seeing all the details. It took me provably 15 to 20 minutes to watch this video. I was pixel-peeping. 🤭😂
I entered the video biased towards the Vivo. But Xiaomi has definitely the better looking images.
Vivo has its moments of better sharpness, more detailed resolution and advantages at night. No doubt. But Xiaomi is definitely more pleasing.
A *request* for your videos: when comparing 2 or 3 products try to keep right (center) and left through the entire video. The alternating order can be a bit confusing. 🤪
Your vlog is very beautiful. What’s great about your vlog is that you mention that you’re not a professional photographer and videographer. You excel in reviewing, and many people can relate to your reviews. You always put disclaimer.
Hey! Can you do a comparison of the Pixel 8 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra cameras? I'm interested in how they handle colors and contrast. Both phones seem to take natural-looking photos without too much software processing.
Ben you are becoming the golden standard for choosing a phone! This comparison is what everybody wants. I am still going to stick to the x100 pro for now, only became its screen is slightly larger (narrower but longer) I hate the x100pro screen design like you do, but xiaomi 14 ultra's screen is even smaller, just by a bit.
Thank you
Ben, thanks for the comparison. Have been enjoying your tech videos. I do want to point out that vivo x100 pro can shoot 4k selfie video with an OTA update. I have one myself and can confirm that it does shoot 4k selfie video after the update. I can't remember exactly when the update was pushed out. I think it's been out 1 or 2 months already. Do check that one.
Did you use the Leica Authentic or the Vibrant mode for the shots?
Would love to see how the find x7 ultra to this. I am still wondering if there will be a x100 pro plus with even better camera.
Hi friend, great video! Tell me, does the lack of band 20 affect the signal reception quality and mobile internet speed? In Europe, band 20 is everywhere. It would be great if you could make a comparison with Oppo x7 ultra (or maybe compare several phones, including for the global versions, where band 20 is available) in terms of mobile signal quality and mobile internet speed (test with one sim card).
Nice but how is the Honor magic 6 Ultra compared to it?
Almost like a travel Video.
Wo didn't know there is a tech event going on here in Malaysia. Anyway great to have you in Malaysia, Ben.
My favourite phone cam reviewer :) ,,Would be great if you show us more xiaomi 14 ultra,vivo x100 pro and samsung s24U comparisons.
You mentioned how much can you gain editing RAWs from the cameras. Can you do a video about that? Now I have S23U and for all my vacations, I shoot RAW as that gives me more flexibility. I use GCAM, as RAWs were ruined by Samsung few month ago with software update (no longer RAWs, multilayered JPGs stacked in DNG container). And this is what I miss. I cannot find anywhere any comparison, what RAWs from different smartphones look like. I know that most people do shot JPGs only, but for me they are not that important as RAWs and I would really, really appreciate some video that compares RAWs from S24U, X 14U, V 100X PRO etc.
ruclips.net/video/_opoqIJRtI8/видео.htmlsi=ek4MyeRSf3KIsl5B
Ben, did you update the X100 Pro to the latest firmware? cause I've noticed you saying that front facing doesn't support 4k/60 video recording which Vivo added in their latest update, thanks.
Yes
@5:53 i noticed the Vivo handled the RGB lights transitions better where the Xiaomi has the typical banding/flickering of most phone cameras.
yes, I also saw that banding on the xiaomi 14 ultra...kinda awful, so this part is a win for vivo x100 pro thanks to its superior image processing as compared with xiaomi 14 ultra

I want to ask about the Chinese version of the Xiaomi 14 ultra. Can I use cashless payments such as Suica (public transportation fees in Japan) or "Osaifu Keitai" (digital wallet)? If anyone answers this question I would find it very helpful. Thank you so much.
Can you do a comparison between the Oppo X7 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra. Also Xiaomi 14 Ultra will get software updates to improve the camera.
Please do comparison with Pixel 8 Pro, would love to see how it would stack against these beasts.
Actually bought the Xiaomi 14U and will be here this week, from watching your reviews. Got the Chinese version since it has the slightly larger battery at 5,300 mah. Whenever the global rom gets released, I may just flash it so I’ll be able to use android auto here in the states but other than that, I actually sold my S24Ultra to get this as well. Super pumped for it to arrive.
So how was it? 14 ultra
Great work, Ben. Wondering how the Oppo Fold 7x Ultra would hold up to Xiaomi 14 Ultra?
The colours from the first scene are wonderful on Xiaomi, although it can be a bit too contrasty and saturated at other times. I thought Vivo pushed an update to give 4K selfies?
That's what I've heard as well. Maybe he hasn't received the update yet 🤷🏼♂️
Yeah, I have one and it can record 4k 60 for a month already.
As always, great phone camera comparison Ben.
I noticed judders from Xiaomi videos at night vs Vivo.
I think it's a close call. I personally prefer Vivo's night photos & videos.
In Vivo, although it does not have a variable aperture, you can adjust the bokeh in post.
No, bokeh from a shot cannot be adjusted in post. Only portrait mode shots can be adjusted
The variable aperture is useful at f4 for star burst effect. But it could supplement by using a star filter. Bokeh is usually faked by all camera phones.
Here again, the movie mode video on xiaomi is extra cool. Great results, almost like a movie camera. We can shoot a short film or something with this. And overall video quality is mich better on xiaomi.
Can someone explain what are the main differences between imx989 and lyt900?
Thanks Ben, Vivo is still the current HDR heavyweight champion. Their Zeiss T* coating, custom V3 ISP chip and image processing is just too strong. If I had to nitpick and find something I dislike, then it's the occasional overexposure but in general it's just better than Xiaomi and Samsung.
Ben, you have EV model also in Vivo, just need to turn it on in settings. Like "remember my choice" or something like it and then you can change with finger EV and will stay on.
I just want to know which one has the best low light video performance with the least amount of noise with the MAIN camera at 1x in 4K 60fps???
i bought a vivo x100 pro and i love it, already one month. battery is so satisfying, fast charging and long lasting. the camera is superb and great! affordable and much cheaper. mediatek chipset is really amaze me, playing games for hours, scrolling social medias, the phone is hardly overheat. thanks!
So , who wins ? I need to change my old phone but I’m hesitant between the two
Thank you for the comparison, I believe that vivo received an update to film in 4k with the front camera, I would like to compare them with the honor Magic 6 pro please
Thank you for this comparison Ben, helps a lot. Planning to change my phone. Or buy one for a family member. Samsung isn't doing great, at least from my perspective. Using S23 ultra.
Always a delightful experience to watch your real-world reviews 👍 Kudos to you bro 🥂
thank you
Xiaomi every day of the week is all i can say for this 1
Amazing video as always btw
Amazing comparative!! One question Ben, how is the battery on the 14 ultra compared to the X100 pro?
Can't wait to see a comparison between the Xiaomi and Vivo X100 Ultra or whatever they'll call it
Hi ben
How's the feeling on hand for both phones?
And on the software, which one feels better?
you da man, ben! Thanks again for all your hard work
Zeiss is doing a very good job for the HDR at X100 Pro.
I also think the Zeiss glass makes the photos clearer and with less glare.
Hi! When you're shooting a video, can you switch from main camera to front camera without cutting the video?
para ti Ben, en el apartado de cámaras en general, cual te quedas y por qué?
How does Xiaomi Ultra 14 vs Oppo Find X7 Ultra camera test compare?
You are the best bens review
Thank you
i am eagerly waiting for vivoX100 ULTRA . love from india .
Looks like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a refresh of the Xiaomi 13 Ultra and yes there are still room for improvement. The Vivo X100 Pro(still with its flaws) has already taken the top 5 spot of the world's best camera smartphones.
The Vivo X100 Ultra/Pro+ is coming along with the Vivo X100s.
The camera battle between the Ultras are getting interesting:
Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Oppo Find X7 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Ultra/Pro+.
hi Ben nice short comparison, what I noticed is that xiaomi almost always takes very high ISO's and with the aperture open where I think I wouldn't have gotten half of it like vivo does, the high ISO numbers also mean worse photos, that's maybe also a problem like the general overexposure on the day of the xiaomi, what do you think Ben?????greetings Slohty
vivo has updated its front camera with 4k 30and 60fps for their global versions as well
I have noticed a huge difference on the lense control of light when direct sunlight is coming in from the side. The x100Pro zeiss coating handles this well, but the Xiaomi 14U will often end up with the image being washed out.
That is a concern as its a fundamental hardware issue.
Great Video! I think if we consider the price difference Vivo is the obvious choice at this moment. I think new sensor has got a lot of potential to make the gap between those two phones much bigger. The question is will Xiaomi use this potential and do the updates to the camera software or will they wait and do it in 15 Ultra...
You are on point with the price, I think the vivo is a 1/3 cheaper which makes it a huge bargain.
Ben didi you updated Vivo? It has 4k selfie now.
Ben.. after all the updates, right now which is better in camera between these two, xiaomi 14u or X100pro?
Awesome review ben, my new favourite reviewer for mobiles and really looking forward once x100 pro+ comes out ❤😀🔥 btw. Does xiaomi 14U run a lot cooler with snapdragon chip?
Thank you for the comparison video! And a special thanks for Tokio ❤ a beautiful place
Can you please tell me In both of these mobile's which mobile phone is best for videography and cinematography in these two phones?
I never get bored of watching Ben review tech. 🤓
Thanks for the comprehensive camera review!
Just curious, in terms of the overall experience on these 2 phones, which part makes you feel that Mediatek D9300 still not on par with Qualcomm SD8Gen3 🤔
Battery life isn't as good
Didn't vivo have a 4k front facing camera update?
Yes it has received. I have been using this device since January.
Is it possible to easily lock the focus in video mode permanently to avoid the re-focus stutter both phones produce here quite often?
where is your camera guy ?
would love to see him again.
Hello Ben,Vivo x100 pro also comes with the Snapdragon 8 gen 3 as well
7:04 was the jacket blue or green?
Black with blue hue. Xiaomi is a bit yellowish. You can tell by looking at the zebra crossing lines. Vivo keeps it white while xiaomi tend to be a bit yellowish. So is the jacket dark blue + yellow = dark green
in 5:21, the jacket and the taxi red or orange?
I am using vivo x100 pro..i like the vintage filters very much. Does xiaomi has such filters in built question mark ? I just saw it has some filters in video mode...what about photo ?
how,s the battery life, on my x90 pro+ it sucks, it drains so much on idle, i can barely get 5 hours screen on time in a day before i'm at 15%, how much screen on time you can get on yours ?
@@adyady3099 Battery life is very bad
@@nazalpanoly6250 can you be more specific with screen ON time during a day before you have to recharge?

Top notch mic quality on the 14 Ultra!!
Ben which 1 has the best manual mode and camera settings option?
Mediatek dimensity 9300 is more powerful than snapdragon 8 gen 3
Its eat more battery and having higher temperature
No one can beat snapdragon in term of stability
so, why Vivo X100 Ultra use Snapdragon 8 gen 3 not the Dimensity 9300 like vivo x100 Pro?
@@isnaimchannel1170good question 😂
No way! Dimensity 9300 just win at antutu benmark test only. But overall performance SD 8 GEN 3 much better especially for hardcore gaming..
Thanks Ben,
Excellent comparison .
Vivo wins in light processing and the images were more natural, only Xiaomi wins by a small percentage in image details
Knew I wouldn't be disappointed with the animal shots 🤌🏾
im steering towards the X14U just for that Photography Kit lol. ngl both of them are so good, each have their own quirks and features.
It's almost impossible to say which one is better, cause it seems they have different top abilities but only by a little. Do you know if there will be Vivo 100XPro+ version, and if, when would it be?
Question is does the comp have a chance when Vivo 100 ultra is out?
I'm still confused as to which one is better for Videography, especially in low light scenarios, great video btw...
For lowlights...vivo is better
Did you get busy in Japan..haha nice Video
Lol 😅 no
