- I had high expectations for the X100 Pro but with all that Vivo has shoved into this phone... it's absolutely phenomenal!

Vivo X100 Pro front video already looked magestic at 1080p compared to other 4k videos, but now being able to record up to 4k60 makes it insanely good.
That's Ram Mandir Gift for Indian Folks from Vivo as they have Christmas for Rest of World 🌍 😂😂😂😂
That's only for the china rom tho 😊
@@fooltimedaddyit is till now, but it will come global, we just have to wait a little more, it's so great to see such updates coming
@@fooltimedaddynope its also available in India i am using one
Underrated reviewer. Keep up the great work sir!
The front 4k60 update has hit my Indian X100 Pro about 3 days ago.
The 4k30 has the ability to switch between front and all 3 back lenses seamlessly like the Samsungs
The Tech Phenomena with another PHENOMENAL video.
Yk, there are a few people complaining about the texture on the back "it's too slippery" - GSMarena, like I don't get it, if it's slippery then use a case or get a skin? Like all phones are slippery yet they complain about the X100 Pro only, weird. Also, a minor thing but even though I agree with you on the fact that curved screens just FEEL better to use, they're kind of annoying. What I mean is, in day to day use, when swiping and stuff, curved screens are the BEST, absolutely GOATED, I've had only a few dozen misclicks happen due to the curved edges since using the S7 edge, yeah 20-30 missclicks over 7-8 years isn't something I'd complain about. The display itself looks great when turned off as well. My main gripe is the fact that curved screens are extremely reflective, I have to turn all the lights in my room to get the reflections to go when I want to watch a film or a cool spooky video. That's the only gripe I have with curved screens. I wish we had a foldable screen that folded inwards to become a curved screen and then went back to being flat when needed for content consumption.
Also about the software, so you're saying basically apart from looks and feel, this skin and other skins are on the same level basically? Like the only reason I'm feeling scared to switch from OneUI is because of some niche features I really love to use a lot. Such as swipe down in the gesture bar to make it one handed and most importantly being able to switch sims and their functions/the default sim for messages/calls/data on the fly on the notification shade. These 2 are must haves for me. Being able to change the task changer, , changing grid sizes a bit in the Home Up app, the keyboard in keys cafe and finally being able to numerically show the number of the volume on the volume slider and change up the increments are incredible nice to have's on a phone for me. But yeah, could you, or anyone using a Vivo phone help me out and see if this stuff is available? I'll switch at the end of this year, gonna use my S22 Ultra just a little bit longer and see how good the X110 Pro is going to be. The battery on my phone is 3/4 of what it was and that's the most important thing besides being able to call for me. I really like the look of Vivo's phones, reminds me of OxygenOS which I loved when I tried my cousin's Oneplus 8. I also wish there was a "lower sharpness" option for the cameras, that would make this a damn near perfect phone for 99% of people who are okay with big screens.
Using iPhone 15+ as primary. Travelling abroad so bought this as a pocket camera. Yes I always wanted to own a 1 inch sensor. No AI post processing can beat physics. It's coming tmrw....can't wait.
nice
I like the way you make your reviews. i just can't wait to hear your comments on the Oppo find 7 Ultra.
The find x7 ultra didn't launch in India... yet... if it does will review it for sure.
Great review man.
This is the underdog of 2024 and from what I've seen on other reviews, it beats the Find x7 Ultra too even though that one has the IMX LYT-900 sensor (newer generation of the IMX 989 which the x100 pro has). It will take time for Oppo to fully optimise the software for the LYT-900 the way Vivo has mastered the IMX-989. Vivo has gone full throttle on software optimisation of the camera and has found the holy grail of balance between hadware and software for cams.
I feel Vivo have just nailed it with this one and the so-called compromises are those which Vivo has simply cracked 100% bang on, e.g., 1.5k screen instead of 2k, the front facing 1080p (which now stands upgraded to 4k, which should hit Indian units also soon), and no super slo-mo in 4k - which are very niche requirements and most of the folks wouldn't need these.
I was very wary coming from Samsung after nearly 10 years and finally letting go of my Galaxy Note 9, but the X100 Pro is just too awesome from a software perspective too - which totally nails it! It's sad that a camera phone like this may not hit the sales figures like its competitors, when in fact all of the flagship specs and storage gets offered in the X100 Pro at nearly a 40% say compared to the S24U and a 50% discount compared tp the 15 Pro Max.
What swung it for me was the night and astro shooting modes, which are insane to say the least. Note that the blueing of the sky at night can be avoided using different shooting modes - not going into details here.
The stuff that you can do on the camera on this phone is magical, and I now find myself leaving my DSLR behind instead of lugging it around and instead carry a mini-portable tripod with a phone holder (with a bluetooth remote shutter) which fulfils all my requirements for regular and night landscape photography.
Very importantly, if you see the "reach" of the lenses, they can shoot near microscopic (using macro mode) up to a 100x zoom (and most times zoom up to 50-60x is quite usable, but beyond that its good for text and identification purposes but not for the quality of the photo as such). To achieve this kind of "reach" on a DSLR/mirrorless cam, you'd need to shell out a quite a few $$$$, so getting this phone was a no brainer! Bingo! 😊
You can see some of my pics here (no pics using the x100 pro yet): instagram.com/astrokumaon/
You are crazy and your craziness is acceptable for Vivo ❤
Finally ! Someone does a REAL review of the X100 Pro !!! And a very well done review too !!!👍👍
Nah that intro was epic, no idea whats going on, but still epic.
Thanks for the detailed reviews and your precious thoughts
dude cool intro, keep innovating that makes you unique
Really great and onpoint review....i am using this phone for 15days now and it absolutely fantastic in everything that you need from a smartphone.
And cameras are just on a different level...keep up the good work...waiting for x100 vs s24 ultra camera comparison
What about battery?
Lovely video colour grading ..i love vibrant n dark grading
hey Mr. Phenomena, according to your espertise, what is the best camera phone at the moment? The 7A?
It's gonna vary... I still haven't properly tested s24 ultra or onepkus 12... my preference at the moment goes to X100 Pro
Loved the intro. Good job
Tatally agree, great review mate, just click subscribe on your channel and wonder why your channel is so underrated, keep up the good work.
This or Xiaomi 14 Pro for portraits? I'm torn between them
The fingerprint sensor does n't work after applying tempered glass on X80pro
Great you are really listening subscriber demand ❤
I need your help to understand the natural bokeh effect in this phone. Even when I do not intend and want to click a regular photo of a room or people standing, this phone still produces blur at some objects within the scene. This is not happening with regular sensor size phones including x100 base and they produce full sharp details. How can we tackle this in pro model?
The natural bokeh happens because of the large sensor... Essentially how we get bokeh from professional cameras like in the A roll in my review... That allows for separation of the background from the foreground making the photo look more appealing... Atleast in my opinion
@@thetechphenomena Thanks for your explaination ! Apparently there is no software solution to the hardware characteristic of the sensor.
Try another intro man. Bdw nice review. Bhalo.
I love the intro. xD
What an amazing phone
Since now you already having s24 ultra, please bring the camera and video comparisons with x100 pro. Will be waiting for your video. Cheers
Real soon
Waiting for camera comparison with the iphone 15 pro max (photography)
i've been wanting to buy Fuji X100V, but now, i think i'll get this!
Did you shoot this video in your studio on the Vivo camera? Or did you use a $4000 professional camera?
I shot it with the a7iii in my studio... definitely not 4000 dollars worth😂
@@thetechphenomena If you're reviewing something that shoots VIDEO, why would you not shoot it on the camera you're reviewing? Would you review a Red Raptor and shoot the review on an A7iii?
One thing you do to mention in the vivo videos is lack of software updates, 3 os updates compared to now 7 for samsungs and pixels….great review anyway…
Vivo x100 or vivo x100 pro which is better to spend extra money
Hello. Which would you choose between vivo x 100 pro vs Xiaomi 14 pro and why?
I'd pick the x100 Pro... I think x100 Pro is overall better but it also competes directly with the xiaomi 14 ultra... curious to see how they will compare when I get the ultra
Overall which one is better between Galaxy s24 ultra vs vivo x100 pro please suggest me m confused to buy
My personal pick would be the x100 pro coz I think the S24 ultra kinda underperforms for its higher price tag... It's a good flagship but also the most expensive one on the market... X100 pro would be my recommendation
I wish they made a smaller version!
I was a pixel 2 xl user and was in love with it's camera, and at the end of it's life I was mildly curious about the vivo x 60 pro plus, it was getting good firat looks and all. I jumped on board the vivo train with that phone because of the cameras and that funtouch was tolerably near stock.
Man I was loving using the phone, had a good 3 years with it until it got the green line display issue.
Vivo offered to have it replaced for free, but couldn't find a spare display in time, after which I asked if I could upgrade instead - and BAM! I have a x90 for a small exchange fee, essentially free. The service center, staff, the overall process for the display replacement and upgrade to the new handset was all handled really well and it has me so impressed and dare I say a loyal advocate for the brand. Seeing your reaction to the x100 pro I am VERY tempted to buy it! And what's crazy is that the x90 has already been such a great experience, that I don't wanna sell it - I might end up carrying two vivo phones instead of one!
Does it feel as big in tha hand as it looks? As big as the s24 ultra etc??
No... not as big as the s24 ultra
@@thetechphenomena thanks 🙏
Please make a camera comparison between Vivo X100 and Vivo X100 pro? pls pls did not find a single useful video on TH-cam regarding that 😢
Sorry... I don't hv the X100
Correction: the S24 Ultra has 2600 nits. The Oneplus 12 has 4500 nits. Great video though! New subscriber
how is software experience
As I mentioned... fantastic... at least for me
Vivo X100 pro is really a great camera phone. Xiaomi 14 Ultra is coming. It is hard to choose which one I should get.
How’s the software in this phone?
I think it's pretty good.
@@thetechphenomena you think or are you sure?
I meant that I believe it's good... But there are others who disagree... I'm sure I like it
Bought x100 pro instead or s24 ultrq
How is your experience? please let me know. I also plan, any heating , drain
@@im4320 best phone currently
Any Indian users of x100 pro?
Why is there no new update for me?
I don't think it's here yet for the global version
How about vivo the x100 . Not the pro. Whats the difference with x80 pro, x90 pro vs regular x100.
which to buy, lets say among those 3.😊
Sorry... I don't hv the X100 so couldn't say much abt it's real world usage
@@thetechphenomena ok. X80 pro or x90 pro , if one has to buy, and choose between those 2, which will be better, camera , video and battery ofcourse.?
I guess x90 Pro... but to be honest the x90 Pro wasn't particularly good... I would blatantly recommend the x100 Pro coz it solves a lot of the issues the x90 Pro had even though I get that it's way more expensive
I would buy it , but not with a curved screen . They are so hard to protect with screen protectors . And the curve creates glare on the edges . 😭😭😭
If Vivo bring the pro plus model 🥰😃
But china only 😢
I connected with you personally when you said " I hate iOS" , so true, I am not an iphone hater, I love the videos from iPhones, but man iOS is just impossible for me to use. It is an awful software and ugly one too.
Great video as usual.
The Vivo X100 Pro is a real powerhouse.
The only one beating it is the Oppo Find X7 Ultra. Better telezoom for the long range. Better portraits at 3x that rival large DSLMs and DSLRs and better video performance especially when it comes to the colours.
Man I wish I could buy the find x7 ultra... really wanna try it out... but I don't know if it'll launch in India
@@thetechphenomena Yeah probably not. Or you have to wait a long time.
Best would be importing it. Not sure how easy it is to import stuff from China to India though.
I used tradingshenzhen that worked fine for Europe.
False...x100 pro does better portraits as seen in Ben's gadget reviews
X7 ultra has better hardware yet still can't beat the vivo in picture quality
@@blacsheep19 Do you have both devices? Ben tested an older firmware version. I have the latest and tested them side by side. My video about it is coming soon
@@lltechview I have x100 pro my friend has the x7 ultra..his exact words were how are my pictures better with an older sensor...I said imagine the x100 pro ultra
The S24 Ultra has 2600 nits, not 4500....it's the Oneplus12 and the Oppo Find X7 Ultra that have 4500 nits peak brightness.
Damn... got em mixed up... my bad... but if that's the case... I wonder why the s24 ultra looked brighter in direct sunlight
you can't trust these manufacturers @@thetechphenomena
@@thetechphenomena4500 nits is only the peak brightness the display can reach... But 1200-1800 nits is the brightness these phones will typically reach, even when under direct sunlight to save battery, heating issues and so on... Samsung's typical brightness can reach from 1400-2000 under direct sunlight and might be one of the brightest displays you can use even though its peak is only 2600 and the rest are 4000-4500. And not to forget about the anti-glare coating that comes in handy under heavy lights and reflection..
IOS is like having a USER-ADMIN relationship. I hate IOS. And I won't be buying an iPhone no matter what they put in there. As a power user who uses modded apks, the spen, dex, phone customization I despise everything that IOS is.
True
Just stop this colour grading, content is good but what is this choice of colour grade. Change it to normal buddy!
Nah... I like it this way
too much color grading
you keep mentioning samsung every single minute. your video is supposed to focus on vivo or just simply make a seprete video and talk about samsung as much as you like.
I think I explained myself in the video itself
Finally bought X100 Pro !! instead OnePlus 12/Xiaomi 14
1. camera beast
2. great battery life
Those who are saying overheating. Its not there and 4k 60fps front recording is also there with latest software.
Can you please review again, I am planning to buy this after using s22 ultra for 2 years . Main point is how is overall experience? people saying it heats lot and inconsistent.. please give honest feedback.
I did not experience any heating issues... Even on days when I use the camera for long periods, heating was not a problem... N by inconsistency if you're talking abt stutters then I can attest that its a buttery smooth experience
