@@mr-jakob-1943 you can get 12121 years of updates on your s24 and will still not match vivo's hardware so enjoy your placeboo useless updates with 2020 hardware
My choice will bee Vivo x100 Ultra. Unfortunately, they are not available for purchase in my country, so I had to opt for the Honor Magic 6 Pro. If I had enough money, I would definitely choose Vivo x100 Ultra or Vivo x200 Pro.
Both do a good job but i’m leaning towards the vivo because of the stylish look of the photos. I like it. Also the images on the vivo doesn’t look over processed and the night photos look better on the vivo. Samsung takes the crown when it comes to the videos althou not by much
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I agree Vivo shines in low light, especially the telephoto as it's pretty obvious the larger sensor makes a difference. Video out the camera Samsung looks better but at least Vivo has a good pro mode and LOG options for advanced users to dial in their video.
I'm really disappointed with my s24 ultra camera its just a midrange image quality for 1300 dollars . S24 ultra camera is just over hyped and i just fall for that😢
The S24 Ultra is quite good to me. The main area that stood out was the Vivo low light performance to me. The S24 Ultra video looks better straight out the camera tome too, but at least Vivo has a good pro mode and LOG options for more advanced users to get it how they want it to look.
Some of the vivo shots don't look like they're coming from a smartphone The shots have real depth to them. Like that bar shot. Also I think its the best at shooting lights and bulbs. The colours also look deeper and richer and more vivid than the Samsung Also when you crop in the Samsung shots they start to look artificially sharpened. I prefer the vivo rear camera overall. I nearly forgot about the feel and the personality of the vivo shots. Amazing stuff. The Samsung shots look like yet another good camera smartphone but nothing over the top like the vivo
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. The S24U is quite good and closer than I'd thought it'd be but I also prefer the X100U, especially the telephoto and low light performance.
Vivo's shot are so damn tridimensional because they are not afraid to use contrast in a "healthy" way, whereas other brands tend to exaggerate with HDR, lowering the highlights and raising the shadows way too much.
I am user vvo x100 ultra, never miss the shot, I was using S24U and 15PM before, they all were nothing compare vivo x100 ultra in terms of many things include ai optimization..
I have tested vivo x100 ultra personally. It was incredible in low light photography when compared to my s23ultra, although s23ultra had camera lens protectors installed and those affected canera quality, but no excuse, vivo won. The things which were deal breakers as compared to my s23ultra, were unfriendly origins OS experience, slightly compromised speakers quality, no screen protection, mediocre UW camera, lack of support for some wearables, and good but no the best battery backup. Still i think, if you want a camera phone, vivo x100 ultra proves to be the best.
Incredible from Vivo, the only thing I don't like is the saturated colours and off skin tones, but that portrait mode is chef's kiss. The depth of the photos, having a large sensor is so much better, it's just makes it look so effortless, samsung shots are good but flat in comparison to the Vivo
Yep, screw 200MP, Samsung needs to increase its sensor size, even if it's not to match Vivo's but a 30%-40% increase would be welcomed. But the S25 Ultra won't provide that since it's the same sensor.
@robhughes8516 Samsung isn't good, but at least in low light with the ultra wide I don't have splodges of black spots where there is no data, just nothing there
I have both phones...S24U is my main phone. The Vivo x100 ultra beats the samsung in all lighting conditions using the back camera. But the Samsung front camera is way better, Samsung selfie cam is great for low light
Thanks for your feedback. I actually prefer the Vivo front camera more and it's performed better than I thought it's t would. I just don't like the beauty effect in night mode even with the effect disabled. Always interesting to hear different perspectives.
@GrantLikesTech Yes, vivo selfie cam takes great shot and have more details especially in a good lighting condition, but I prefer my skin tone on the Samsung. When it comes to low light, the vivo is just terrible.
don't know what video you've seen but i can clearly see the front facing camera having more details on vivo, even when shooting in full hd portrait and 4k smasung, vivo still has more details so maybe watch it on a big screen, you can easily change the color tint but good luck adding details back on samsung
because unlike samsung they don't release the same phone year after year so updating is more work than update fitting all phones 99% , I want to pay for hardware not for useless updates that will never match the newer hardware and I change my phone every 2 years anyway.

Sad that apple and samsung dont see vivo as competition cuz its not sold in the western markets or at least only in parts of it. We would have much better phones with more competition...

Vivo does a great job. But the software is bulsshit, and you gave just 3 years of updates that's make me go and choose s24 ultra with the best android software and 7 years of updates
what's the point of 7 years of updates if they will never be able to be up to vivo's level? you can get 50 years of updates and won't be enough to improve bad hardware. I rather pay for newer hardware with less updates than same recycled phone with more updates, they release the same phone every year that's why they can give so many updates, 1 update fits all.
Vivo is being overhyped a lot. I'm not seeing a huge difference besides the zoom, where vivo has a better lens. Also, vivo has a DSLR style, but not true DSLR quality. I prefer the ultra overall, the Vivo is a butt ugly phone. 😂
Let's talk about Samsung's artificial look and Vivo's better HDR handling in outdoor conditions. Really awful to see S24U using 1/3.52 inch 3x telephoto sensor and you already stated the huge difference in terms of zoom. In regard to other things, it was about their algorithms which Samsung looks oversharpened a little bit; however, Vivo presents more natural sharpened results. X100U must be overhyped as it's deserving. It has more satisfactory results than S24U in my perspective. What made you think Vivo is a butt ugly phone? Maybe, design? I agree with you.
@riqhtful4561 The 3x lens on the S24U is clearly outdated, I barely use it, but I cannot agree with this huge difference that people see. Samsung oversharpens, that why I use Camera Assistant to reduce this. In some photos, Samsung HDR is better, in others, Vivo's is better, but this is how computational photography works: You can get two different results using the same phone in the same scenarios. Samsung is better overall. Vivo's software is not reliable or secure. And yes, the design of the Vivo is horrendous!
@@rickfr VIVO HDR is worse only in night mode) It doesn't need this mode at all. Watch the video again and you will see that Samsung without night mode is simply TWICE as bad. Vivo is simply better on auto.
@@rickfr I'm saying that if you use only AUTO mode on VIVO, it is ALWAYS better than Samsung. And the main thing is that the photo itself is taken in a second. And there is no blurring and other things. On Samsung, the night mode is 2-3 seconds and it is advisable not to move + you can get a blurry photo. I myself owned the S24ultra. And 4 months ago I bought a vivo 100 ultra. And after a personal comparison, I realized that Samsung is in the past. I really hope that they will pump up the cameras in the S25ultra.
Are you still consoling your favourite brand couldn't be on par with Chinese? Just stop looking for brands and look for actual specs. The Samsung is a fancy midrange phone with higher price tag
The difference in low light is crazy even with youtube compression. Looking like phones from two different decade
