I’m a long time iPhone user and I have no qualms about it’s cameras. I mean I can live with them just fine. But this comparison shows vivo’s cameras look way clearer and colors punchier. Makes me want to skip another iPhone generation again.
These phones need a larger sensor and the ability to dial down the sharpness, otherwise, it will always look like phone footage. Great video as always.
I agree, but to be honest... if your story is great and ypu know how to tell it, tje phones will do just fine. It,s bot comparable with an arri of course, but thats besides tje point. Tje possibilities youngsters have today... some of them will make movies we can only dream of.
Sensor is already big enough, see that the Vivo have a harder time at night controlling the bright spots because it can't shut the aperture. But "these phones" have an solution to this already, "Log Format". You can record video in Log in this Vivo (and many others) solving the problems you mention.
Vivo has a good camera. I have an older model and loved the video and photography but the phone had issues, not sure they were software or hardware related but it was a pain to use sometimes. Hopefully that is all sorted out.
Can you tell what issues you had? I'm planning to buy the x70pro...and wondering if there are any issues that make it harder to use than, say a Redmi (Xaiomi) phone 😅
Great comparison. Honest and unbiased. I loved it. Good job brother. Looking forward for the iphone 13 pro max vs s21 ultra camera comparison just like this. ❤
From all the reviews I've seen... Video: iPhone, has been the recognized champ for years, and cinematic mode puts it out of reach from competition. Selfies (pics or vids): iPhone, hands down. Back cams: x70 pro+, more detail and neutral, not to mention killer night mode and layers of advanced functionality over auto/AI mode. iPhone tends to dial up saturation and exposure (good for social media posting) in daylight or night mode (playing the Samsung game maybe?) If I have each in my left and right pockets, I'd whip out the iPhone for vids (selfies and posts), and pro+ for serious photos. Good thing my wife is in the Apple ecosystem and I'm Android, so we get best of both worlds. Choice is great... these are both top-notch. Now only if I can put a USB-C on the iPhone...
Actually the front camera is just a preference ig. I have the x70 pro (not plus), and I find its front cam to be better than a friend's iPhone 13 pro max.
Cinematic mode is actually quite decent for a first gen. Although it's not perfect around the edges and on more complex scenes, I'm excited where this tech will be in 5 years! BTW, increasing the fstop in post to like 5.6 or higher helps eliminate some of the glowing edges and keeps the blur looking more natural.
@@hatakeakshay802 oh dang, I actually just checked it out and edge detection does look better than iPhone’s cinematic mode. Do you know if you can adjust the fstop tho in post or completely turn it off ?
@@hatakeakshay802 oh yeah that’s what I meant, I think the one thing Apple has an advantage over is the ability to adjust the fstop, the focus tracking and to turn it off.
I was able to try the iPhone 13 Pro during my trip to Utah. The zoom lens doesn’t look good when viewed on the phone, but if you watch it on the computer, it’s a different story. The phone is really good with videos. And it shoots flat for color grading flexibility.
Its a shame for apple even for a draw result. Is it apple who takes excessive profit or vivo sells its flagship too cheap lol.. half price phone compared to the great apple can still win in many categories..
In my little unbiased research what I found was: iPhone 13 Pro Max is the way to go considering video recordings + zooming.. BUT if you're planning to only take night shots Vivo x70 Pro+ is the best mobile phone right now (as of Octorber-2022). It even blows its sucessor (Vivo X80) on this regard.
It is the first mobile brand from bbk electronics.. Which is parental company to Vivo, oppo, oneplus, iqoo and realme... Actually they are the first to implement in display fingerprint and dual display phones and even pop up camera (and of course the full display) mobiles.. In their flagship series called nex.
Same here Amigo , i bought the vIvo for vloging & within months they upgraded t x60 pro + which was jus 10k more & now x70 pro + , am planning to buy the 70 but won't b surprised if they upgrade again , I wish I was a Rich guy so i cud jus keep upgrading my life as well 😀
The Vivo looks brighter in general, but mostly the highlights are blown out, while they are still visible on the iPhone. I just wish Apple will add a 1-inch Sensor Size for all 3 lenses. In combination with the adanved image processing it will easily outperform point and shoot cameras!
The take away from this video is that , people who have made up their minds over which they prefer will side with their choice, irrespective of what they see.
@ 6:15 note the sky in the Vivo frame. It is blown out and as the camera moves it fluctuates constantly. I just bought a Vivo X 70 Pro+ (primarily for gimbal on wideangle, love that) but the constant blown out sky is a BIG bummer, several 'wow' moments in vids ruined. Any suggestions on how to fix this? (HDR setting same thing btw). Cheers, STL. EDIT TO ADD: I realise this was the front facing cam but I am referring to main cam
The night talking bit with the vivo had so much judder in the BG - I wonder how it'll perform on a gimbal. It does look better generally even if its not as wide and doesnt have as much of a telephoto
Hey thx for the comparison video. The iPhone clearly has better dynamic range and better audio than the vivo. That's the only thing that interests me, but I will not be making a movie on an iPhone anytime soon. The language of cinema and cinematography requires a much more sophisticated image that a smartphone can't match. Cheers. BobbyGiggz.
I prefer a little bit the stability and colors of Vivo over Iphone almost in all scenaries talking about rear camera, but the front camera is much better the stability of Iphone.
X70 Pro plus have cinematic movie mode ultra wide and is doing NATURAL BOKEH without any edge detection or efect. What firmware you have on your test? I have Origin OS Ocean in mine and the video looks so profesional than the iphone 13. Search for it. Also you have to try the super night video that uses the main camera too in cinematic mode and the picture at night scenes is amazing. Do deepest test next time my friend.
Hi Sir. Is it worth to buy this brand and model. Vivo x70 pro plus. Is it worth the investment if going after a good camera phone ? Samsung note 10 user here. Thanks.
You can make a small cinematic video from vivo even vovo dnt have that spec. Although vivo x70pro plus is Photographic centric phone and iphone is videography centric phone. So easy win to iphone.
Is it better to keep using your Intel MacBooks? Mines late 2018, MacBook Pro 15 inch, 32 GB ram, 1 TB SSD with Radeon Pro Vega 20 4 GB. How long will intel Macs be supported with updates and how long would applications get updated?
Hi @brandon congratulations for your channel as a new follower I find it really helpful and amazing. One question I'm buying a smartphone for filming while travelling for landscape photography (I ve a dedicated camera setup) in Europe vivo x60 Is sold without the periscope, do you think this is limiting the experience? I should buy the x60 which looks gold for the price or do you have a better suggestion? Thank you in advance
I have Olympus m4/3 camera and Dji Pocket2. Will I be able to follow the lessons in your Unscripted course using my Pocket2? Or do I need to get a FF camera? Thank you
Brandon, I am about to buy a glimbal for eos 90d Canon and for Same time for 70d. So I am still going for analysis to know about glimbal. Can u suggest me a right glimbal for the price below 470 $. Are u able to reply for 2years back video?
While the iPhone's shots are better in dynamic range, I do find their lower contrast bugs me more than it should be. Many of the low light shots I prefer Vivo's even though it tends to clip highlight. Anyway, great comparison!
Personally, i would choose the iPhone 13 because of the soft and not too over sharpening video especially on the telephoto lense when shoot video. Vivo however is becoming more like samsung.
What is your opinion of using one of these smartphones for a short film against a sony a6400 (or similar)? What are the advantages and disadvantages, especially for shooting indoors or at night in cities?
I own a vivo x60pro+ and the camera is identical to the 70pro+ why on this footage the microphone sounds like it's covered with something ?! On mine the audio is perfect!
I’m a long time iPhone user and I have no qualms about it’s cameras. I mean I can live with them just fine. But this comparison shows vivo’s cameras look way clearer and colors punchier. Makes me want to skip another iPhone generation again.

Sony Xperia Pro-i : Yes?
The iPhone has pro res mode, where you can edit much easier and dial down sharpness on editing. Look at my samples on my channel
Great to see your accolades at the end. So it was the boss talking :)

I did that too. Wife stays with Apple ecosystem and me with Android (Samsung)+ Windows.
Agree. X70 pro+ camera is best for now. But front camera is not better than other flagship, also vivo microphone is awful for recording video
What about the lens glare in the iPhone? It’s pretty bad at night and makes the iPhone practically useless for night videos!
Actually the front camera is just a preference ig. I have the x70 pro (not plus), and I find its front cam to be better than a friend's iPhone 13 pro max.
@@kunjupulla hi can i ask you a question...which back camera phone (ip13 or xpro 70) is more better in capturing pictures ? ☺

Just wanted to say, I absolutely Love ur work Brandon... Inspiring, Much Love Bro!!!
Looks pretty windy in the park during the intro ... was it just your body sheltering the lav mic ?
Night mode in vivo is just next level🔥🔥🔥🔥
Hey Brandon. I have the vivo x80 pro which can shoot 10bit in LOG. Do you know which log should i choose in davinci resolve? Thank you
OMG the Vivo footage looks so much better
Hey Bro thank u for making this kind of video. You will shortly get 1 million subscribers. And Vivo x70 pro plus is next level camera phone
great video!!
but i think there is a portrait video mode on vivo
I was able to try the iPhone 13 Pro during my trip to Utah. The zoom lens doesn’t look good when viewed on the phone, but if you watch it on the computer, it’s a different story. The phone is really good with videos. And it shoots flat for color grading flexibility.
Maybe what it does is pos-processing (using A.I.) to improve the crappy photo taken by zoom.. dunno
The best comparison Ive seen so far. It's a shame this phone is NOT sell in Europe.
Nice review 👍 iPhone footages appear darker than Vivo footages. have you made any particular settings on either phone?
Vivo X70 pro plus camera is stunning and amazing. It is the best camera ever available in a mobile so far. Thanks bro. Break a 🦵
Vivo at half price is going neck to neck with apple that itself is huuuuuge achievement
Its a shame for apple even for a draw result. Is it apple who takes excessive profit or vivo sells its flagship too cheap lol.. half price phone compared to the great apple can still win in many categories..
Great video! Especially the cinematic mode footages! I'm using DJI Pocket 2 for my cinematic video.
The best channel so far
In my little unbiased research what I found was: iPhone 13 Pro Max is the way to go considering video recordings + zooming.. BUT if you're planning to only take night shots Vivo x70 Pro+ is the best mobile phone right now (as of Octorber-2022). It even blows its sucessor (Vivo X80) on this regard.
I prefer the Vivo. Never heard of Vivo before
It is the first mobile brand from bbk electronics.. Which is parental company to Vivo, oppo, oneplus, iqoo and realme... Actually they are the first to implement in display fingerprint and dual display phones and even pop up camera (and of course the full display) mobiles.. In their flagship series called nex.
Why don’t you give a summary of your thoughts at the end? It would be good to hear…
Excellent comparison, respect. Vivo night, iPhone day (btw, I vlog using Vivo X50 Pro and love it).
Same here Amigo , i bought the vIvo for vloging & within months they upgraded t x60 pro + which was jus 10k more & now x70 pro + , am planning to buy the 70 but won't b surprised if they upgrade again , I wish I was a Rich guy so i cud jus keep upgrading my life as well 😀
Hey Brandon, thanks for putting this together. I'm curious as to why you said the vivo X70 Pro+ doesn't have pro cinematic mode tho, cuz mine does...
Are the photo look like dslr quality?
Does it have cinematic/Bokeh mode for video? Cos I can't seem to find it ...
The Vivo looks brighter in general, but mostly the highlights are blown out, while they are still visible on the iPhone. I just wish Apple will add a 1-inch Sensor Size for all 3 lenses. In combination with the adanved image processing it will easily outperform point and shoot cameras!
That be nice but the phone and lens would be way bigger if they were to implement three one inch sensors in one phone.
They need to implement only one 1 inch sensor ultra wide, and crop in for normal view, and digital zoom in for telephoto.
The take away from this video is that , people who have made up their minds over which they prefer will side with their choice, irrespective of what they see.
True man, they just don't want to admit that a phone less than iphone's price is taking better pictures than iphone
Amazing and honest review
LIT comparison man… I love your filming style…. Keep creating videos cause we love to watch those..!! ☺️😇
People should seriously look to Vivo phones for their videos, it's been always underated.
Why not use the Vivo X70 Pro+ LOG in pro video mode? 🤔
footage from the vivo looks more pleasing to the eye even though the one from iphone had better quality 😅
Dynamic range, iso noise, and mic are the standout wins for the iphone imo. Great video!
@ 6:15 note the sky in the Vivo frame. It is blown out and as the camera moves it fluctuates constantly. I just bought a Vivo X 70 Pro+ (primarily for gimbal on wideangle, love that) but the constant blown out sky is a BIG bummer, several 'wow' moments in vids ruined. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

now we need vivo x80 pro plus max
in low light vivo is good but overall iphone's footage is more useable.
you did excellent
Great video! Wow
The fact that people are comparing these two phones is good enough reason to declare Vivo a Winner 🥇
Cool! Thank you for sharing it ✌️
Great sample videos. However I was hoping to see what the bokeh balls would look like in night shots.
I don't know?
Vivo x 70 pro plus or vivo Iqoo 8 pro?
Which one?
I love the cinematic movie at the end. Would you show us how to shoot and edit cinematic movies with iphone in the future?

Nice work, Brandon 👍
Please do a camera comparison between vivo x70 pro plus vs pixel 6 pro. That would be really helpful
Love your efforts too good 😊 love from India 🇮🇳 Regards
Smart HDR just make everything amazing

Just waiting to see Pixel 6's HDRnet+ video's against iPhone
It's not good. :( Google didn't do enough for the camera. No 4k 60 on tele and ultrawide

One question I'm buying a smartphone for filming while travelling for landscape photography (I ve a dedicated camera setup) in Europe vivo x60 Is sold without the periscope, do you think this is limiting the experience? I should buy the x60 which looks gold for the price or do you have a better suggestion?
Thank you in advance
are you using an andy filter on both phones or on the iphone alone?
So, basically in night mode, vivo plays soccer with apple😂😂
Omg i don't know if VIVO had a video quality results like this...
Omg
Can we increase brightness and saturation in low light for 13 pro max?
I have Olympus m4/3 camera and Dji Pocket2. Will I be able to follow the lessons in your Unscripted course using my Pocket2? Or do I need to get a FF camera? Thank you
Please do a comparison with the new sony mobile too..love to see that too

Vivo just makes the face bright af
looks so muted, but I like it.
The cinematic is unreal, no way, is this stopped down? F8? No way, looks real.
While the iPhone's shots are better in dynamic range, I do find their lower contrast bugs me more than it should be. Many of the low light shots I prefer Vivo's even though it tends to clip highlight. Anyway, great comparison!
Actual comparison was at 0:21

vivo is magnificent smartphone
I absolutely love the iphone 13 mini. Perfect companion with my R6.
Miss my Note 8 though...not gonna lie 😂
Which city is this?!
hong kong
wow nice review
What is your opinion of using one of these smartphones for a short film against a sony a6400 (or similar)? What are the advantages and disadvantages, especially for shooting indoors or at night in cities?
The iPhones have an internal lens flare issue that’s pretty bad at night for cityscapes. Videos are practically useless! Just look it up in TH-cam.
Wow That's very amazing ❤️💯🌹
wow last part cinematic mode sequence really make me thought it was filmed by dslr camera
I phone and Brandon Li are the best in their respective industry.
Vivo x70pro plus is better than iphone 13
If you are agree like here 👍
I want Vivo x70 pro+ this Christmas 🥺❤️
Never impressed with vivo until now... The detail is simply unmatched.
I own a vivo x60pro+ and the camera is identical to the 70pro+ why on this footage the microphone sounds like it's covered with something ?! On mine the audio is perfect!
7:30 song name?pls
Absolutely stunning footage for an iPhone! How do you conform to 4k24 retime 80%?
Thanks, yes just retime
for the best camera in vivo it's like a DSLR camera👍, for iphone chipset performance👍
good job
Vivo's video's are very good for face 😂
Niiccceeeeee comparison
I got yesterday pro+ and the 5G in USA not working g be careful some mm bands not working
The iPhone is far better but the Vivo is considerably good.
