@@theperfectionist4702 xiaomi is inconsistent, if xiaomi was consistent then they'd be the same as vivo, currently they're slightly behind vivo overall.
I have the X100 Ultra and the camera on this phone is mind-blowingly good! I just tested it for candid street portrait photography with its tele lens and i couldn't believe my eyes! it is probably the only phone that can do candid portraits of people with like 85 to 90% success rate in terms of focus and flawless background separation!
I prefer the Xiaomi photos. They look like they come out of a "real" camera instead of a phone. It's like they're letting their hardware do most of the work instead of overcompensating with HDR.
@@ThisIsTechToday there is a video from the "made by Google" channel titled "how art inspired the pixel 4 camera" where Marc Leroy talks about different paintings and how it influenced the pixel HDR look. I think the aim there was to give it an opinionated look, but Marc has since left Google and I feel like since then the pixel camera has become more "flat" with more and more HDR. What do you think?

If you want to compare the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL video with the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max video... *the soundcore integration was filmed entirely on the iPhone outside of the talking head/studio shot...* Insane.
Thank you! Yes, I agree. Until then, the best I can do is bring awareness to what is available outside of the US so that Samsung, Apple, and Google can step up their game. We're being given outdated tech, and it's a real shame. I'm so excited about these phones overseas because of the way they're pushing the limits.
Same here in the UK. I was actually pretty gutted that the best option for me was another contract with the latest version of the Pixel (or alternatively Samsung or Apple) when I upgraded today. The market in the UK like in the US has become incredibly small and disappointing with the limited options. I would much rather have a UK network offering some of the quality Chinese hardware but the networks just seem to be saying no and leaving the tech savvy customers with limited choices (unless purchasing a phone from overseas outright and then paying big for SIM only deals if you want on the go data too). ☹️
Can we have a comparison between oppo find x7 ultra Vs vivo x100 ultra pretty please like after updates because both phones got Thier latest updates recently
Vivo is very much processed that every photos comes out very HDR-y. Idk why some people said that Vivo looks like "real" camera while FF camera not look like that. On the other hand, Xiaomi is the most "real" with very natural processing.
Oh, yeah, I definitely pointed that out in the AI section and you can even see it happening in the insane telephoto shot. There's no covering up for that, but it is the most "natural" looking one. Xiaomi I wouldn't say is "real" per se as that is quite subjective. It has the most opinionated "film like" Leica filter on it. Natural it is not, especially when referring to digital sensors. All of them are doing a ton of processing and it depends on your tastes and preferences.
I agree with your takeaway. We really need to demand better cameras from flagship manufacturers in the states, because we've gotten to a point where algorithms are egregiously overcompensating to produce an image that doesn't end up looking all that great in comparison to foreign phone cams.
Exactly! They're trying to counter the reality of physics by using tons of AI. Just put a better sensor and glass in there! It doesn't have to be so complicated! Now all the over processing is creating tons of artifacts and weird looking photos. The artifacts on the woman's black garment is a good example of AI noise.
The Lieca Authentic is meant to add the Lieca like processing to it, which means the colors aren't meant to be as accurate. It also adds a small vignette as well. I believe for these comparisons, they should be made with the vibrant mode as that will match with most phones in color. We can show a few comparisons at the end between authentic and vibrant if needed.
I’d have people say that I did it wrong no matter which one I chose. I prefer authentic, so I went with that. I also showed comparisons between authentic and vibrant.
@@ThisIsTechToday the problem is that you were penalizing Xiaomi for it's colors. If you wanted to be critical of the color tones, you should have stuck with the vibrant mode. Not only does the authentic mode completely changed the color science, it barely uses HDR to give that Leica look.
The Vivo definitely looked the best overall, but I was still impressed with the Pixel relatively keeping up. Not a fan of the Xiaomi, I have to say. Its style just isn't to my taste. The Pixel really needs an update for its video stability though, and not just rely on video boost as a crutch. A lot of it will be the difference in sensor size, and I just don't know if Google, Apple, and Samsung will have such arrays on the back of their phones.
While I agree, that for the price they should upgrade the camera set up. Blind test show that people still prefer what comes out of the Pixel 🤷🏽♂️. It will all come down to preference for the average user.
These phones haven’t been in those tests and these photos are true to real life scenarios compared to the set up scenarios in a studio and other fabricated situations.
Just to add up for color science. For xiaomi, not only it has main color of leica vibrant n authentic, it also has 2 others leica colors that are leica vivid n natural. Its not a simple filter one might think, try it, set main as leica vibrant, then choose leica vivid or natural. If want more natural color, should choose leica vibrant + leica natural. Leica authentic isnt natural color, it just leica own authentic color science. While vivo has 3 color science options, more contrast look like leica authentic, choose texture color, want natural color, you have zeiss natural. Want a normal vibe with a bit vividness, choose vivid.
Too many variables. lol. I use the default or easy ones. Already a lot to deal with three phones and taking photos/video of them. I'm not changing up all the filters and color science. I'd die lol.
Vivo had been doing it since the vivo x70pro series. Their camera is unbeatable. Even if you buy the cheap x70 pro which is 4 years old, you would still beat many phones in night shots.
With the Xiaomi 14 ultra we can switch between "Leica Authentic" and "Leica Vibrant" to gain some control of the color and the mood of the photo we want to make. Btw Vivo is incredible with this 200MP sensor.
I agree. The vivo takes photography into a whole new level. Not even the Xiaomi 14 Ultra can compete. How lucky for the Chinese consumers ! I wish i had one . I agree with you - Google having bigger and better sensors and not relying on software so much. Maybe the next pixel phone can compete…who knows…
Great review! Going against the grain and reviewing against flagships from other manufacturers. The amount of effort you put into this video and the way you describe speaks to the everyday techie like me! Kudos man!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot. Always a risk going against the grain because views will be lower, but this video was far more interesting to me than yet another Google vs Apple vs Samsung video. Glad you liked it! Please share it with others. 🙏
Vivo has had excellent colour science for years. The X100 is in the lead to replace my five year old Huawei, with the Xiaomi 14 and Huawei Pura 70 in the running behind it. Of course, for serious mobile photography, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra's screw on filter system is a big advantage...
Don't for get the nice camera kit for the 14 ultra! Extra 1500 mah and a two stage shutter with zoom and exposure comp. dials make it into a full fledge camera-phone.
Great video! It would be even better if you could do a little bit more micro shot comparison because Vivo X100 Ultra can do even crazier on it. I saw the spider shot from Vivo themselves and it blew me away!
Thank you for your wonderful effort. Can you compare these devices and put the Oppo 7 Ultra and the Samsung S24 Ultra with them? If you could, this would be more than wonderful.
No reviewer tests the dng files at 20x... It also makes sense to compare the Vivo at 20x because it is possible that they use 4-1 binning at 10x (so it's possible that they don't use the full resolution at 10x) because otherwise they would need to read out and downsample 27 megapixel at 230mm. Surprisingly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL always uses analog 4-1 binning at 240mm in contrast to Pixel 7 Pro/8 Pro.
It is even possible? I meam with Xiaomi 14 Ultra you can shoot into RAW files only in pro mode and there you can choose only from fixed focal length, you can't use digital zoom there
I glad you pointed out Pixel 9 for not using larger image sensor same as with Vivo and Xiaomi. I want Google Pixel to be so good and I knew it we can't rely on AI too much for everything especially camera parts
El único comentario en español!!!! Excelente comparativa y concuerdo contigo!!! que siempre tengamos las mismas tres marcas que no innovan es aburrido!!! ver al VIVO ser tan superior es increíble!!! estaría genial tenerlo disponible en todos los países de américa!!! saludos!!!
I hope to. They're not out for anyone, including reviewers until the end of the month. I'm not a part of that group, so I have to buy it and wait for it to become available through retail....unless Google wants to reach out to me. 👀
Sensors have sensitivities to different colors. The common ones are blue and red. The processing to compensate for that is the key factor. It appears that vivo has done extensive work to compensate for the sensors over sensitivity, like through their pretty insane HDR post processing.
Nice video. I am from Singapore and bought the Vivo X100 Pro when it was released globally in January. The camera is mind blowing. Apple and Samsung have grown fat and lazy the last few years. They have stopped innovating and many ppe in the US don't know any better and just get with whatever Apple and Samsung puts out every year. I used to get the new Samsung Galaxy S phone every year when it is released and gave up a couple of years ago when they want to sell me a >$1k phone without providing me any charger (in the name of environmental friendliness). However, when you go to the shop, the sales person will ask if you want to get a new Samsung charger with the phone. Go figure! Basically just corporate greed. You also need to talk about charging speeds. I can charge my Vivo phone from 0-100% in 30mins!
I agree. Hopefully, this video helps put some pressure on the US-Focused brands. No talk about charging speeds in this video. It's a *camera* comparison. 🙂
@jimmoefoe1471 It's a Pixel, and I like how I can set my photo preferences (e.g, adjusting the shadow value, brightness, and colors) when taking any photos using all those lenses (in Night sight too). I use the Ultrawide lens a lot. Hence, the front camera of the P9 Pro just destroyed those rival, so that's why I am leaning towards the Pixel (plus the Snapchat and Instagram camera quality is better too) 😉
I used to enjoy the pixel for the camera, but I no longer enjoy it. The software is nice though. I feel more inspired by other phones for their cameras and their software is solid as well.
21:27 You are wrong.Look at the Passenger Window and the Tree Leaves!The X100 Ultra is destroying the Pixel.It's way cleaner,more Details in the Tree Leaves,no jittering and way less Noise.
"Enjoying your phone comparisons! Would be great to see a video audio comparison, I'm curious to know which phone handles loud music better... as I often record concerts."I'm looking forward to get one of three phone ...so these would Really help me decide !
DXO having tested Vivo X90 pro plus, now didn't test X100 ultra. Hmmmm, I wonder why.... Going out you feel more secure having with you the vivo in almost all lighting scenarios. It is also very well built, nice ui with some minor flaws. Whoever buys it, there is a risk of course with guarantee but having X70 pro plus and X90 pro plus, I can say that the risk of malfunction is minimum.
I don’t trust DXOmark for anything anymore. They have a model that essentially consists of paid reviews. They also grade higher simply for having more cameras, which is a bit silly. I wrote this before reading the rest of your message. Now that I read it, I see. Interesting that they didn’t review it. But yeah, the Vivo is the most reliable and capable. I agree.
Thank you SO MUCH for making this comparison. It's just sad that no one else covers such a comparison here in the states. Much needed thank you. I'll import a vivo for myself- it's just unparalleled
Launching soon in mid October in china Rumours say that it will have the same main camera as the pro variant and 5500 mah battery in a 6.3 inch screen I am waiting and excited as well
If only chinese flagship phones came to the US / US allowed them to come. We might have more innovation happening. Ever since LG and HTC fell off, things have been way too comfortable with small upgrades every year.
Alle drei liegen auf Augenhöhe, im Vergleich zu Smartphones Von vor zehn Jahren sieht man schon einen wirklichen Fortschritt. Schöne Fotos machen kann man aber nur, wenn die Geräte nicht zu heiß werden, und vivo und 14 U werden einfach zu heiß. Hoffentlich kommt die nächste Generation mit einem besseren Temperaturmanagement.
There's just something about Leica authentic on Xiaomi that just makes it so pleasing to the eyes. It is literally Dslr like image processing on a phone.
I know this video has nothing to do with audio but I just stumbled into your channel and really like your reviews and I was wondering it you could reviews the Master and Dynamic mw75 this was just the most recent video i could ask this in.
Cool video! I feel like you hit the point why so many are looking for imports and stuff especially in europe(myself included). almost a year ago now i got the vivo X100 Pro(China version) so like the ultras little brother and this thing smacks. Sometimes you take a picture and cant believe that this came from a 800$ phone and not a 2-3k$ DSLR. Comming from the pixel 6 pro and now seeing the pixel 9 pro this feels like it was absolutely the right decision.
Great video bro! Currently using Pixel 6, considering to get a new camera phone next year. Very impressed with the X100 Ultra but knowing X200 is coming out in 2 weeks, I am not sure if I should wait for the X200 or buy the X100 Ultra when the discount happens. I heard that the 1 inch sensor will be gone in the X200. May I ask for your opinion please? Thanks in advance.
vivo x100 pro is on sale in my country, unfortunately it is not ultra global as far as I know. Is there a comparison video of these two on your channel?
Love the video. You just got yourself a new subscriber. In which mode did you shoot most of the Vivos Pictures? The default mode or some of the Zeiss Modes like "Zeiss Authentic"?
I am so confused i want a phone which also takes amazing potraits with good skin tones in day light and good shadow exposure too so like should i go for xiaomi or vivo plus is vivo x100 pro the same like not much difference if i get that?
@@ThisIsTechToday I know, but I feel like I wanna see the other color profile for the the Xiaomi in the shots of the horse where the colors were ways off from the other two
@@ThisIsTechToday cheers mate 👍🏼 May I kindly ask for your opinion on whether I should get the X100 Ultra or wait for the X200 Ultra in terms of camera capacity, cheers.
1. I can't review and include everything. 2. The bar I had could only fit 3 3. These videos seem to work better on screen with three, not four. 4. Honor doesn't send me phones. If they want to be considered or included in content, they're welcome to send me their phones.
Wow, the Pixels have always been my favorites in the camera section, but the Vivo is a beast, it has surprised me and in my opinion it is above the Pixel and even more so the Xiaomi.
Time and time again, the shots show up Vivo's (Zeiss', really) strength in micro contrast. That's what gives Vivo shots that ever-so-subtle gradation of details that immediately stands out from the Pixel and Xiaomi. The bokeh (what do you guys keep calling it "bo-ka"? I was always told - going back to at least a decade before digital cameras appeared - that it's pronounced "bo-kay") of all three are nothing to write home about....if I were to use Leica's classic bokeh from their top prime lenses as the benchmark. Something that we can't escape from at this budget is that vignetting is rampantly showing up in all three cameras with, again, the Vivo exhibiting noticeably better attempt at containing them. When it comes to shooting into the light (source, sun, what have you), nothing touches Zeiss in terms of how capable it is in resolving the light source with minimal to no flares or artifacts. That's been the case from the time I had my first prime Zeisses back in the 1990s and that's still the case today, as the Vivo has shown.
You are a good storyteller. I had the opportunity to use these phones. Vivo is not as good as you praise it. Vivo has only a good telemacro. But in all other respects, Vivo does not take pictures, but draws like a bad artist. In all portraits, if the distance is about 3 m or more, there will definitely be poor-quality watercolors. When zooming more than 10x, clumsy drawing begins. The pixel gets noise, which is natural, but it does not draw like that. Why don't you talk about this? And about the fact that even in Zeiss mode, Vivo's photos are too contrasty and oversaturated. I kept quiet about Xiaomi, since there the styles are generally for an amateur and are far from natural colors. Now the new 14t and 14t pro have come out, there these styles have already been corrected, which means that in the 15 series it will be better with this
Thanks, I’m not sure why but on trading shenzhen they say it doesn’t but in most videos live always seen the chrome app icon on home screen. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
Yup. I have play services as well. Easy to install on Vivo. Go to their store and search for the play store and it installs google services. I have a link to the Vivo X100 Ultra in my description that has a store that installs all that stuf for you as well.
I use the Vivo X100 Pro,the HDR rendering problem is not there at all,it's just a software issue,try comparing the HDR shots with The X100 Pro and X100 Ultra.
Yes! II agree. It bothers me a lot. I mentioned that while recording this video, but it got cut. It was an hour and forty-five minutes...I needed to cut it down lol. Under 27 minutes was a miracle!
why this video is really towards the Vivo haha. Though I know Vivo is great. And why Vivo is so underated compared to Apple and Samsung, or even Huawei and Xiaomi.. huh
Because it was insanely good. All the professional photographers, people who shot for the NFL, on magazine covers, billboards, for models, brands, celebrities, and even directors for movies and shows like the new Dune show all loved the Vivo the most. I think that says a lot!
I really really regret getting the Pixel 9 PRO XL. The worst part is that on screen some photos look great before they right in front of your eyes ger turned into an overprocessed mess. My dad looks like a zombie in all photos. It takes the warmth out of skin tones. Warm red skin tones get turned into purple/grey. So if you are in a 2700K environment it makes all skin tones looks as if they're illuminated by extremely cool white lights which completely ruins the scene. Another example is if you take a picture of the christmas tree. It's horrible. My budget point and shoot camera from 2007 make a better job capturing the scene than what the pixel can achieve. It raises the shadows and get rid of all the contrast. If you try to get around the post processing you can activate image picker for the 12.5mp mode. By doing so you can access a timeline of pictures taken before they get processed. Sometimes it creates two different post processed images. One called "original". It lifts the shadows too much. The other does the opposite. It adds extra contrast in an really unnatural way. It's only at certain times this "recommended" option shows on this timeline. All other in processed photos look exactly as you see them on screen before the picture get processed, except that they are so soft and low quality that they aren't usable. I want to be able to choose how much post processing is added and time it to my own liking. Maybe I want extra sharpness by combing all the pictures taken when enabling the image picker. And also reduce noise this way. But not create a complete flat image by using HDR. That's another thing. You can disable ultra HDR but not HDR+. So HDR is always applied no matter what you do. Some RUclipsrs have lifted the pixel 9 pro xl to the skies also claiming they're photographers. But they're all scammers. Probably paid by Google. My old Galaxy S20 FE does a better job taking pictures that represent what the scene actually looks like. But it's often too soft in many situations to be usable. But for shooting the Christmas tree it's a night and day difference since accessing pro mode and the ability to turn off all HDR... Well it gives you complete control over how the picture will turn out even before the picture is taken. You never get that with the pixel. It doesn't matter if the pixel look sharper, less noisy when taking portraits with it's telephoto lens in low light scenarios compared to the S20 FE if it screws up the skin tones. The post processing overides all pro settings you enable on the pixel.
Seeing that vivo, I almost regret getting this X14U, but I couldn't because vivo phones weren't as good software wise and aren't well supported in my country
I have xiaomi 13 pro , love the camera more than my pixel but 14 ultra looks like a midrange phone camera, nothing special especially taking in consideration the huge price.i like pixel but not enough to spent that much on that processor, bad portrait cutouts, slow charging etc... this year i went with samsung s24 ultra and after watching all the pixel reviews i must say i have no regrets.
Great video, I've recently bought the Vivo X100 Ultra (previously I had the Xiaomi 14 Ultra) Both of them very impressive, I do prefer the Vivos colour science, and the telephoto lens is insane for a phone. Its the first phone I've ever had where I haven't felt the need to take my Ricoh GR3X with me. I do like the Pixel OS, but I think I've been spoiled by these 1 inch sensors now. Even in the foldable market, huawei's new tri folding phone is an amazing leap forward, although expensive!! at a more normal price, The Fold 6 looks to be behind Vivos new foldable, and the Honour
fuck i want a vivo phone so bad in eu....love the photos and videos on that thing....but no support....pixel gives me 7 years and good security stuff...god damn man...vivo will be always first in my eyes...
@@FarkyJ They all get updates. If it breaks you may struggle to get fixed, but they all get updates like any other phone. Are you really going to keep your Pixel phone for 7 years?!
So you can see how much technology has come along in four years and you are thinking about swapping it or you probably wouldn't be here. Five years is awfully long time to wait when the tech is improving this fast now the Chinese phones are here.
Google’s current AI-focused approach to mobile photography is a strategic misstep. While their software capabilities are commendable, they are fundamentally constrained by the limitations of current mobile hardware. Rather than doubling down on AI, Google should prioritize hardware advancements and refine their existing camera features. This would enable them to compete more effectively with Chinese manufacturers who have excelled in this area.
@@EzroNightmare The point is, outside the U.S. Google's attempt to compete in the smartphone market means facing a lot more competent smartphone companies. It's not about threat, it's about delivering better products for people. For example Google competing in Singapore, Malaysia and other asian country which most smartphone offer greater value and superior hardware. You keep forgetting there' s other country outside US.

Now all the over processing is creating tons of artifacts and weird looking photos. The artifacts on the woman's black garment is a good example of AI noise.
The Lieca Authentic is meant to add the Lieca like processing to it, which means the colors aren't meant to be as accurate. It also adds a small vignette as well.
I believe for these comparisons, they should be made with the vibrant mode as that will match with most phones in color. We can show a few comparisons at the end between authentic and vibrant if needed.
I’d have people say that I did it wrong no matter which one I chose. I prefer authentic, so I went with that.
I also showed comparisons between authentic and vibrant.
@@ThisIsTechToday Otantik daha karanlık fotoğraflar çekiyor. Yüksek ışıklı yerlerde doğru tercih olur. Vibrant olması gereken mod.
@@ThisIsTechToday the problem is that you were penalizing Xiaomi for it's colors. If you wanted to be critical of the color tones, you should have stuck with the vibrant mode.
Not only does the authentic mode completely changed the color science, it barely uses HDR to give that Leica look.
The Vivo definitely looked the best overall, but I was still impressed with the Pixel relatively keeping up. Not a fan of the Xiaomi, I have to say. Its style just isn't to my taste. The Pixel really needs an update for its video stability though, and not just rely on video boost as a crutch.
A lot of it will be the difference in sensor size, and I just don't know if Google, Apple, and Samsung will have such arrays on the back of their phones.
While I agree, that for the price they should upgrade the camera set up. Blind test show that people still prefer what comes out of the Pixel 🤷🏽♂️. It will all come down to preference for the average user.
These phones haven’t been in those tests and these photos are true to real life scenarios compared to the set up scenarios in a studio and other fabricated situations.
@@ThisIsTechToday you earned a new sub today, you're keeping it so real bro.
Just to add up for color science. For xiaomi, not only it has main color of leica vibrant n authentic, it also has 2 others leica colors that are leica vivid n natural. Its not a simple filter one might think, try it, set main as leica vibrant, then choose leica vivid or natural. If want more natural color, should choose leica vibrant + leica natural. Leica authentic isnt natural color, it just leica own authentic color science.
While vivo has 3 color science options, more contrast look like leica authentic, choose texture color, want natural color, you have zeiss natural. Want a normal vibe with a bit vividness, choose vivid.
Too many variables. lol. I use the default or easy ones. Already a lot to deal with three phones and taking photos/video of them. I'm not changing up all the filters and color science. I'd die lol.
How to choose between lieca vived or natural?
Excellent video 👏 thanks 🙏 new Subscriber from India.
Woah, Vivo, maybe better video next year and you're the king of cameras on a smartphone
They're insane!!
Vivo had been doing it since the vivo x70pro series. Their camera is unbeatable. Even if you buy the cheap x70 pro which is 4 years old, you would still beat many phones in night shots.
With the Xiaomi 14 ultra we can switch between "Leica Authentic" and "Leica Vibrant" to gain some control of the color and the mood of the photo we want to make. Btw Vivo is incredible with this 200MP sensor.
yes, that was covered in the color science section.
I agree. The vivo takes photography into a whole new level. Not even the Xiaomi 14 Ultra can compete. How lucky for the Chinese consumers ! I wish i had one . I agree with you - Google having bigger and better sensors and not relying on software so much. Maybe the next pixel phone can compete…who knows…
Great review! Going against the grain and reviewing against flagships from other manufacturers.
The amount of effort you put into this video and the way you describe speaks to the everyday techie like me!
Kudos man!
Thank you so much for the kind words! It means a lot. Always a risk going against the grain because views will be lower, but this video was far more interesting to me than yet another Google vs Apple vs Samsung video.
Glad you liked it! Please share it with others. 🙏
Vivo has had excellent colour science for years.
The X100 is in the lead to replace my five year old Huawei, with the Xiaomi 14 and Huawei Pura 70 in the running behind it.
Of course, for serious mobile photography, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra's screw on filter system is a big advantage...
The screw on filter system is way better on the Xiaomi. The case that Smallrig made for Vivo is hot trash. It’s so bad.
Don't for get the nice camera kit for the 14 ultra! Extra 1500 mah and a two stage shutter with zoom and exposure comp. dials make it into a full fledge camera-phone.
Great video! It would be even better if you could do a little bit more micro shot comparison because Vivo X100 Ultra can do even crazier on it. I saw the spider shot from Vivo themselves and it blew me away!
Thank you for your wonderful effort. Can you compare these devices and put the Oppo 7 Ultra and the Samsung S24 Ultra with them? If you could, this would be more than wonderful.
No reviewer tests the dng files at 20x... It also makes sense to compare the Vivo at 20x because it is possible that they use 4-1 binning at 10x (so it's possible that they don't use the full resolution at 10x) because otherwise they would need to read out and downsample 27 megapixel at 230mm.
Surprisingly, the Pixel 9 Pro XL always uses analog 4-1 binning at 240mm in contrast to Pixel 7 Pro/8 Pro.
It’s almost like I talked about sensor crop at the beginning.
It is even possible? I meam with Xiaomi 14 Ultra you can shoot into RAW files only in pro mode and there you can choose only from fixed focal length, you can't use digital zoom there
I glad you pointed out Pixel 9 for not using larger image sensor same as with Vivo and Xiaomi. I want Google Pixel to be so good and I knew it we can't rely on AI too much for everything especially camera parts
Agree, samsung, apple and pixel must do something, they are already 2 years behind chinese flagship phones and the gap getting bigger.
Photos taken from vivo are so incredible, vivo x100ultra is like a digital camera 😮 we want a comparison with Huawei pura 70ultra
El único comentario en español!!!! Excelente comparativa y concuerdo contigo!!! que siempre tengamos las mismas tres marcas que no innovan es aburrido!!! ver al VIVO ser tan superior es increíble!!! estaría genial tenerlo disponible en todos los países de américa!!! saludos!!!
¡Gracias por mirar y por las amables palabras!
@@ThisIsTechToday Gracias a ti!!! Saludos y deseos de éxitos para ti!!!
Will you be reviewing the Pixel buds pro 2? I'd love to see or "hear" how they compare to the original Pixel buds pro.
I hope to. They're not out for anyone, including reviewers until the end of the month. I'm not a part of that group, so I have to buy it and wait for it to become available through retail....unless Google wants to reach out to me. 👀
21:24 you are mentioning issues with sensors, but how this can be issue of sensor when Xiaomi and Vivo use the same main sensor lyt900?
Sensors have sensitivities to different colors. The common ones are blue and red. The processing to compensate for that is the key factor. It appears that vivo has done extensive work to compensate for the sensors over sensitivity, like through their pretty insane HDR post processing.
Nice video.
I am from Singapore and bought the Vivo X100 Pro when it was released globally in January. The camera is mind blowing. Apple and Samsung have grown fat and lazy the last few years. They have stopped innovating and many ppe in the US don't know any better and just get with whatever Apple and Samsung puts out every year.
I used to get the new Samsung Galaxy S phone every year when it is released and gave up a couple of years ago when they want to sell me a >$1k phone without providing me any charger (in the name of environmental friendliness). However, when you go to the shop, the sales person will ask if you want to get a new Samsung charger with the phone. Go figure! Basically just corporate greed.
You also need to talk about charging speeds. I can charge my Vivo phone from 0-100% in 30mins!
I agree. Hopefully, this video helps put some pressure on the US-Focused brands.
No talk about charging speeds in this video. It's a *camera* comparison. 🙂
It was so great, but I might be taking P9 Pro XL. But still, for photography X100 Ultra and 14 Ultra looks like more focused like real camera looks.
Yeah. They’re great cameras, but a phone is the whole package.
Why would you still take the Pixel 9 Pro?
@jimmoefoe1471 It's a Pixel, and I like how I can set my photo preferences (e.g, adjusting the shadow value, brightness, and colors) when taking any photos using all those lenses (in Night sight too). I use the Ultrawide lens a lot. Hence, the front camera of the P9 Pro just destroyed those rival, so that's why I am leaning towards the Pixel (plus the Snapchat and Instagram camera quality is better too) 😉
I used to enjoy the pixel for the camera, but I no longer enjoy it. The software is nice though. I feel more inspired by other phones for their cameras and their software is solid as well.
21:27 You are wrong.Look at the Passenger Window and the Tree Leaves!The X100 Ultra is destroying the Pixel.It's way cleaner,more Details in the Tree Leaves,no jittering and way less Noise.
Sure
"Enjoying your phone comparisons! Would be great to see a video audio comparison, I'm curious to know which phone handles loud music better... as I often record concerts."I'm looking forward to get one of three phone ...so these would Really help me decide !
DXO having tested Vivo X90 pro plus, now didn't test X100 ultra. Hmmmm, I wonder why.... Going out you feel more secure having with you the vivo in almost all lighting scenarios. It is also very well built, nice ui with some minor flaws. Whoever buys it, there is a risk of course with guarantee but having X70 pro plus and X90 pro plus, I can say that the risk of malfunction is minimum.
I don’t trust DXOmark for anything anymore. They have a model that essentially consists of paid reviews. They also grade higher simply for having more cameras, which is a bit silly.
I wrote this before reading the rest of your message.
Now that I read it, I see. Interesting that they didn’t review it. But yeah, the Vivo is the most reliable and capable. I agree.
Thank you SO MUCH for making this comparison. It's just sad that no one else covers such a comparison here in the states. Much needed thank you. I'll import a vivo for myself- it's just unparalleled
Finally new soundcore headphones
Yeah!
Color accuracy should be the next big thing for flagship phones imo
for sure
Along with toning down the oversharpening in photos
I think the Vivo, Xiaomi, and Oppo do that better than the rest.
@@ThisIsTechToday I do too!
Honestly, Vivo has proven to be the undisputed king of photography this year, can't wait to see the results when the sensor sizes get even bigger 😃
Man and here I thought we hit the limit of phone cameras since they never seem to get much better.
Guess it was only in the US 😂
lol. Yup. Only in the US. 😂😭😭😭
Can u include snapshot section that can compare which phone got fastest shutter for taking fast movement photo like sport activity or candid photo..
Great video! Sadly Vivo x100 ultra is not selling in my country. But maybe Vivo x200 will - and also I hear that it will be smaller form factor :)
Launching soon in mid October in china
Rumours say that it will have the same main camera as the pro variant and 5500 mah battery in a 6.3 inch screen
I am waiting and excited as well

If only chinese flagship phones came to the US / US allowed them to come. We might have more innovation happening. Ever since LG and HTC fell off, things have been way too comfortable with small upgrades every year.

Alle drei liegen auf Augenhöhe, im Vergleich zu Smartphones Von vor zehn Jahren sieht man schon einen wirklichen Fortschritt. Schöne Fotos machen kann man aber nur, wenn die Geräte nicht zu heiß werden, und vivo und 14 U werden einfach zu heiß. Hoffentlich kommt die nächste Generation mit einem besseren Temperaturmanagement.
@sandrahildebrand4475 totally agree , my 14 ultra gets very hot and drain battery very quickly while shooting only!!!

I know this video has nothing to do with audio but I just stumbled into your channel and really like your reviews and I was wondering it you could reviews the Master and Dynamic mw75 this was just the most recent video i could ask this in.

Cool video! I feel like you hit the point why so many are looking for imports and stuff especially in europe(myself included). almost a year ago now i got the vivo X100 Pro(China version) so like the ultras little brother and this thing smacks. Sometimes you take a picture and cant believe that this came from a 800$ phone and not a 2-3k$ DSLR. Comming from the pixel 6 pro and now seeing the pixel 9 pro this feels like it was absolutely the right decision.
This video needs more attention. Exactly no one is asking more from apple, samsung or Google. They are generations behind!
Great video bro! Currently using Pixel 6, considering to get a new camera phone next year. Very impressed with the X100 Ultra but knowing X200 is coming out in 2 weeks, I am not sure if I should wait for the X200 or buy the X100 Ultra when the discount happens. I heard that the 1 inch sensor will be gone in the X200. May I ask for your opinion please? Thanks in advance.

the xiaomi looks extremely cinematic. That model shot looked like a movie frame on the Xiaomi.

Straight out of Mirrorless camera look = Xiaomi 14 Ultra ❤️
It definitely has a vibe!
Will they last long for decade?
What about dark alley camera test like Huawei p30 pro?
Not sure. Do any phones last for a decade?
Wow, the Pixels have always been my favorites in the camera section, but the Vivo is a beast, it has surprised me and in my opinion it is above the Pixel and even more so the Xiaomi.
Time and time again, the shots show up Vivo's (Zeiss', really) strength in micro contrast. That's what gives Vivo shots that ever-so-subtle gradation of details that immediately stands out from the Pixel and Xiaomi. The bokeh (what do you guys keep calling it "bo-ka"? I was always told - going back to at least a decade before digital cameras appeared - that it's pronounced "bo-kay") of all three are nothing to write home about....if I were to use Leica's classic bokeh from their top prime lenses as the benchmark. Something that we can't escape from at this budget is that vignetting is rampantly showing up in all three cameras with, again, the Vivo exhibiting noticeably better attempt at containing them.
When it comes to shooting into the light (source, sun, what have you), nothing touches Zeiss in terms of how capable it is in resolving the light source with minimal to no flares or artifacts. That's been the case from the time I had my first prime Zeisses back in the 1990s and that's still the case today, as the Vivo has shown.
Help😭😭😭 I saw scratches on Xiaomi, I can not breathe....noooo
I have the Vivo x100 ultra and the S24 ultra. I totally agree with you, Vivo is the best on the market!
does VIVO gets 'heated up' when shooting Videos?? 🤔🤔
You are a good storyteller. I had the opportunity to use these phones. Vivo is not as good as you praise it. Vivo has only a good telemacro. But in all other respects, Vivo does not take pictures, but draws like a bad artist. In all portraits, if the distance is about 3 m or more, there will definitely be poor-quality watercolors. When zooming more than 10x, clumsy drawing begins. The pixel gets noise, which is natural, but it does not draw like that. Why don't you talk about this? And about the fact that even in Zeiss mode, Vivo's photos are too contrasty and oversaturated. I kept quiet about Xiaomi, since there the styles are generally for an amateur and are far from natural colors. Now the new 14t and 14t pro have come out, there these styles have already been corrected, which means that in the 15 series it will be better with this
Wait... Didn't pixel used to have a cooler tones?
Which one would you recommended Mi 14 ultra or Pixel 9 pro XL?
Does Google Chrome work on the Vivo?
Of course
Thanks, I’m not sure why but on trading shenzhen they say it doesn’t but in most videos live always seen the chrome app icon on home screen. Just wanted to be sure. Thanks!
Yup. I have play services as well. Easy to install on Vivo. Go to their store and search for the play store and it installs google services.
I have a link to the Vivo X100 Ultra in my description that has a store that installs all that stuf for you as well.
@@ThisIsTechToday many thanks
I use the Vivo X100 Pro,the HDR rendering problem is not there at all,it's just a software issue,try comparing the HDR shots with The X100 Pro and X100 Ultra.
That megenta hue on the Pixel is very distracting. Hate how it produces magenta purple clouds and grounds.
Yes! II agree. It bothers me a lot. I mentioned that while recording this video, but it got cut. It was an hour and forty-five minutes...I needed to cut it down lol. Under 27 minutes was a miracle!
why this video is really towards the Vivo haha. Though I know Vivo is great. And why Vivo is so underated compared to Apple and Samsung, or even Huawei and Xiaomi.. huh
Because it was insanely good. All the professional photographers, people who shot for the NFL, on magazine covers, billboards, for models, brands, celebrities, and even directors for movies and shows like the new Dune show all loved the Vivo the most. I think that says a lot!
What about the prices of those phones?
Check the links in the description and pinned comment.
@@ThisIsTechToday Vivo x100 ultra is more expensive than that in most countries. Here in Serbia you can't get it under 1000 eu. It's a great phone.
I really really regret getting the Pixel 9 PRO XL. The worst part is that on screen some photos look great before they right in front of your eyes ger turned into an overprocessed mess. My dad looks like a zombie in all photos. It takes the warmth out of skin tones. Warm red skin tones get turned into purple/grey. So if you are in a 2700K environment it makes all skin tones looks as if they're illuminated by extremely cool white lights which completely ruins the scene. Another example is if you take a picture of the christmas tree. It's horrible. My budget point and shoot camera from 2007 make a better job capturing the scene than what the pixel can achieve. It raises the shadows and get rid of all the contrast.
If you try to get around the post processing you can activate image picker for the 12.5mp mode. By doing so you can access a timeline of pictures taken before they get processed. Sometimes it creates two different post processed images. One called "original". It lifts the shadows too much. The other does the opposite. It adds extra contrast in an really unnatural way. It's only at certain times this "recommended" option shows on this timeline. All other in processed photos look exactly as you see them on screen before the picture get processed, except that they are so soft and low quality that they aren't usable.
I want to be able to choose how much post processing is added and time it to my own liking. Maybe I want extra sharpness by combing all the pictures taken when enabling the image picker. And also reduce noise this way. But not create a complete flat image by using HDR. That's another thing. You can disable ultra HDR but not HDR+. So HDR is always applied no matter what you do.
Some RUclipsrs have lifted the pixel 9 pro xl to the skies also claiming they're photographers. But they're all scammers. Probably paid by Google.
My old Galaxy S20 FE does a better job taking pictures that represent what the scene actually looks like. But it's often too soft in many situations to be usable. But for shooting the Christmas tree it's a night and day difference since accessing pro mode and the ability to turn off all HDR... Well it gives you complete control over how the picture will turn out even before the picture is taken. You never get that with the pixel.
It doesn't matter if the pixel look sharper, less noisy when taking portraits with it's telephoto lens in low light scenarios compared to the S20 FE if it screws up the skin tones.
The post processing overides all pro settings you enable on the pixel.
Seeing that vivo, I almost regret getting this X14U, but I couldn't because vivo phones weren't as good software wise and aren't well supported in my country
What's the case on the pixel?
It's a dbrand case! myte.ch/dbrand
I have xiaomi 13 pro , love the camera more than my pixel but 14 ultra looks like a midrange phone camera, nothing special especially taking in consideration the huge price.i like pixel but not enough to spent that much on that processor, bad portrait cutouts, slow charging etc... this year i went with samsung s24 ultra and after watching all the pixel reviews i must say i have no regrets.
Great video, I've recently bought the Vivo X100 Ultra (previously I had the Xiaomi 14 Ultra) Both of them very impressive, I do prefer the Vivos colour science, and the telephoto lens is insane for a phone. Its the first phone I've ever had where I haven't felt the need to take my Ricoh GR3X with me. I do like the Pixel OS, but I think I've been spoiled by these 1 inch sensors now.
Even in the foldable market, huawei's new tri folding phone is an amazing leap forward, although expensive!! at a more normal price, The Fold 6 looks to be behind Vivos new foldable, and the Honour
In Xiaomi 14 ultra you can adjust the tone and warmth in pro mode. The only downside is no HDR for pro mode.
By far this is the best review i have ever watched

Google’s current AI-focused approach to mobile photography is a strategic misstep. While their software capabilities are commendable, they are fundamentally constrained by the limitations of current mobile hardware. Rather than doubling down on AI, Google should prioritize hardware advancements and refine their existing camera features. This would enable them to compete more effectively with Chinese manufacturers who have excelled in this area.
Chinese phones are only famous outside america anyways so for Google it doesn't represent a real threat
@@EzroNightmare The point is, outside the U.S. Google's attempt to compete in the smartphone market means facing a lot more competent smartphone companies. It's not about threat, it's about delivering better products for people. For example Google competing in Singapore, Malaysia and other asian country which most smartphone offer greater value and superior hardware. You keep forgetting there' s other country outside US.
