Thanks for correcting me on your other video. The review I was watching was more in showing of standard non-zoomed-in photos and video recordings. The aggressive AI in those cases made the x200pro look slightly better than the x100ultra. What might be a big difference as well is that he was taking photos in Capetown during the afternoon so any weakness caused by a lack of natural light would not reflect as much as on your videos. Lets hope that they improve the censor and make it even better than the x100 ultra on the x200ultra. It does seem that even in Vivo-friendly countries it's taking long for them to make enough to export even the x100 to Capetown officially.
I respect your judgment but I think that vivo is not at the level of huawei as far as photography is concerned. Vivo has an effect in every photo and it is saturated. When it comes to the best example you have to take the naturalness of the photo. Vivo does not have this in most scenarios. I think Huawei makes the difference here
@inovationtechnology Thank you for watching my friend. But have to argue. Huawei has one of the most awful inaccurate colors that I saw on any modern phones. Especially original color profile, it is way, way off, and in a bad way, no time in this video the scene or face looked even remotely close to what Huawei produce, not to tell about its computation, something is very weird is going on with this device.
@@inovationtechnology on Vivo you can easily make more and less saturation in 1 click of a button + scene looked almost exactly like this, it was a very sunny bright day and colors was really poppy and vibrant
I don't regret at all having switched from the honor Magic6 pro to the vivo x100 ultra, you can't imagine the satisfaction it gave me to hear you say that it is the best of all 2024 and possibly 2025❤
Bro you're definitely an alien who arrived on this planet and makes a 2hr long of super detailed camera review since earthlings arent good at knowing the best camera phone😱
This is the best and most detailed review I’ve seen on TH-cam. It’s very different from other comparison videos and incredibly detailed. I was looking for a video like this and finally found it. Thank you so much and congratulations
You really define what TH-cam is made for... Information,Knowledge,Details and Sharing.... RESPECT to you and Lots of Love from India ❤🇮🇳 Thanks a ton 😊
thank you very much for such a detailed video. This is the best camera comparison on TH-cam. I really hope that there will be the same detailed video with the release of VivoX200Ultra. Need a battle with x100Ultra, x200Pro and X200Ultra
Hi my friend, at 1:32:26 I completely agree, sleepers need to wake up and I remain polite ! At 2:30:15 excellent vibrations run through my body ! Otherwise when a wave of freshness meets a fiery inner fire, the result of this union is this video there front of our eyes ! My preference ? The X100U but I knew that since the release of the X200Pro. Top 3 of 2024 ? 14U, X100U, X7U. Looking forward to 2025 for their next generation of Ultras, to choose the unique one ! Or maybe I fall back on a used model from 2024...which I really wouldn't want... Everything will depend on the Wow effect in photo/video/camera software. Mi11U user for more than 3 years and still rocks but I need to move on. Cheers for your immense precision work ! 🙏
@@christianf9844 Hello my friend. Completly agree, x7u, x100u and 14u were very impressive, I really enjoyed using them. I chose x100u for me, because it was more reliable in all sittuations. I will make "Smartphone of the future 2.0" video, because my old 1.0 one was kinda boring, made it that year after long hard day with tired face on video. I wish to see 2 telephotos, one for macro, one for telezoom with similar size to hp9, 1/1.4 inch ultrawide, and preferably in triple foldable body with 2 USB type c with thunderbolt, and combo 3.5mm jack with amplifiers. Mothership of phones 🛸
Awesome video and a detailed review as always... By the way, as you have both Huawei and Honor Phones can you compare the software of this to the phone and how similar it is despite Honor is not a part of Huawei now ?
@@rbh2na I already made that videos couple of month ago, but need to cut and edit it, my plan was to upload it after final star phones episode, will do it next
@@AlienTechnologies33 That's great to hear...I just wanna know if the Honor is new Huawei outside China and how it feels compared to HarmonyOS cause both used to have the same UI so yeah:' I wish Huawei was never banned... If so then Apple won't dare to launch the same iPhone for 5 years in a row....
The problem with the 1 inch sensor (lyt-900) is focus point. Because of the bigness the point of focus is always small and the picture looks blurry. As an photographer u want maybe a strong bokeh but for us, its important to get better clearness instead of strong bookeh..
I could agree, but if image in most cases was not that plastic with wierd black fake outlines. 1 in sensor can be improved by aperture and leaf shutter.
Or otherwise we can say the same about any smartphone with any lens and any sensor size. I think that first thing goes objective stuff. And then, if subjectively you are okay with something or even like it - more powers to you, choose what you need, it is smartphone that you will use afterall. I just want to point out objective stuff, what to expect and what not to.
My dream phones will have an ability to install open source operating systems of our choice, as we can on computers. But unfortunately, as we see on apple, even computers become locked. But no one can stop us of dreaming and talking about it 🔮
You come up with a special video yet again... exceptional.... the only risk or challenge i see is importing vivo x100 ultra. example, i am from India, but since this phone doesnt have a global version, one has to take the risk of owning it and then maybe getting to know how well the phone works in all departments such as 5G bands, ROM, supported apps, after sales, replacement of screen in some rare accidents, back covers, and specially privacy.. online support for any glitches or any software updates if not pushed in other countries... ofcourse after owning this phone for a couple of years, you got to keep it till the end, unlike sometimes as we give it to someone or resell it.. if you have any suggestions on this point let me know ;) .....
@@expressions0007thank you my friend. The main point of this video was not to tell that x200 pro is bad and you should avoid it at all costs, but show the real difference, so people know what to expect, where are improvements and where they should decide what is worth for them or what is not. X200 Pro is not a bad phone in any means, I like Vivo phones, and with good deal below 700-600$ it can be very nice deal. Of course always better to weight everything. But for example I sold samsung s24 ultra with 400$ loss, sony 1 m6 with 400$ loss, used apple 13 pro costed 500$ and lost 100$, oppo x7 ultra with 200$ loss, and Google pixel I cant sell for even 500$ loss for 3 month already
@@AlienTechnologies33 well the results that you showed gives a clear idea about the excellent optics of V100 ultra.... For a true enthusiast, V100 ultra is way ahead with excellent quality.... That's why we all love to see your videos and patiently wait to see the results in different conditions....

Hey thanks for shooting more LOG videos at night! Looking at the building with the red signs in the background at 2:27:35 the x100u does seem to give a more detailed/less noisy picture quality but sadly it seems to struggle a lot with image stabilization. This makes me unsure of whether to go for the x100u or the x200pro. I do really like the x100 ultra 1 inch sensor performance especially on 2x digital crop for pictures. I just wish the x200pro had a 1inch main sensor as well 🥲
@@stickmennoeller I am usually very aggressive and rough with phones, to stress test their performance. I think that if you do not pixel peep, x200 Pro can be good phone also, I just find results on video with manual controls in controlled environment better on Ultra, even in third party app I can place it on tripod and get second angle with clean image. Also new log on Pro is more flat, but I struggled to bring contrast into the shot without ruining highlights.
@@AlienTechnologies33 That makes sense! Also, I noticed that when you turned ISO to automatic for the x100 ultra, the stabilization shaking immediately improved (timestamp around 2:29:17). But maybe I am just imagining things.
Hello Bro please do Quad Camera Battle in very detail between : ✅ Vivo X100 Ultra ✅ Oppo Find X7 Ultra ✅ Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design ✅ Honor Magic 7 Pro Thank you Brother 👍😁🙏
Respect as always! Could you please share more insights on the AI zoom enchantment that's currently available on x200 Pro. I think it might be useful, curious if we get it on x100 Ultra going forward.
@@AlexR-wk6zf Thank you for watching. This "Telephoto enchantment" feature need to be turned on/off in the settings in camera app. It uses some ai upscaling models. This is a trend in modern smartphones, people see more outlines/dots in the image and immediately think that image is better and has more details, but without considering next factors: real texture of the object/subject, stone looks half matt, metals should look shiny, specular, but ai upscaling if implemented bad can completly remove this textures feelings, metal no longer looks like metal, stone like stone, paint like paint, skin like skin, but more like plastic or rough paper with pencil outlines and water painting without gradients. Also it can remove depth perception, you can no longer feel the roundness of objects, they become more like greenscreened and flat, like 2d image. But the biggest problem starts when people start to aggressively mock people in the comments, that image with this black outlines and paper texture is better, thus "x" phone is better than "y". And when reviewers start to say, that image looks better because we see more defined lines (even if they are black and distorted) Companies start to implement such features more and more, that's why we have this wierd ai upscaling in Xiaomi, Oppo find x7 Ultra made an update for second telephoto lens, that made it almost completely unusable for me, I even preferred first telephoto 3x, even though it was very soft, I have lots of examples in previous videos of Oppo. And now Vivo goes by this path, even if we turn this feature off, it by default uses more aggressive drawings. There are some upscaling models that do not ruin the image. My stand that Ai must be a helping hand, but not so aggressive and fake
Very detailed comparisons. I hope you include Oppo Find X7 Ultra also but nevertheless an awesome content. Will continue watch your channel for smartphone camera comparison. Not a bias channel. More power to you

Ultra has its own Vivo log in Pro mode, and in motion cam it is possible to use telephoto. But I like mcpro24fps more for this purpose, and over there it is also possible to switch lenses, but only optical image stabilization works
McPro24fps th-cam.com/video/Aq3bZxUb0cY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/t-Wy0VP2rts/w-d-xo.html It has telegram group, free test app, but only on russian language with all functionalities and can record and save videos. One in Huawei store and Play store has multilanguage, but demo, without recording option (need to buy to unlock)
Unfortunately on Pura 70 Ultra it does not work, because its camera api is broken, I have tests on "Star Phone Episodes 2 - Android Strikes Back", image on Huawei does not have any effect, and if you press white balance image becomes green without any ability to fix it. It would be cool if it worked, it whould fix Huawei video problems
Only smartphones that were most compatible with it were Samsung s24 Ultra (but image is still meh), Xiaomi, Pixel and Sony was okay, but some functions were broken, and Honor is the best, like I was surprised that everything works and looks nice. I use this program with Vivo for second camera angle, but of course on tripod, because only optical stabe works, no digital, but it has 10 bit video, 32 bit audio and clean slog3 image
@@AlienTechnologies33 huawei has both software and hardware limitations because of the ban. If it was not about the ban then this company would do better in all aspects I believe
That's why I wish we have open source free devices, instead of enclosed ones. So we can install operating system of our choice. Like we can do on PC and laptops, with only apple being exception and doing the same stuff as in phones.
@AlienTechnologies33 to me Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is best for human shots and selfies . I have used vivox100 pro before too. Which one do you think is best for human shots?
@@lenswars Hey are u using Pura 70 ultra with Emui or Chinese version harmony os ? I am using mate 60 pro+ with S24U. I think I need to sell both and get a new one. What's your suggestions? @alientechnologies.
I love your reviews. Most detailed youtube cameraphone reviewer ever haha. I just downgraded from S22 Ultra to Note 10 +, cause the ultra diied in an accident hahah. Im trying to choose my new phone but every now and then I'm getting more and more confused. I really fell in love to the X100 Ultra when it came out. The X200 pro was nice on launch too, too sad it lost the 1 inch sensor and the good front camera but it brings flat sides and better battery life to the group. Alse there comes the Oppo Find x8 pro which is also a solid pick. Can you also make a video on the Honor Magic 7 Pro when you get your hands on it. I'm hoping for a huge improvement over the 6 Pro in the camera department software-wise at least.
@@petarsarbinski4772 sometimes I want to downgrade to old Nokia and take 5d mark ii and expirience those times again, but I guess I need to be accurate with wishes, sometimes they can incarnate in unpredictable ways 👽💣🌍 I think that if s10 (very solid compact nice device) is can serve you little more, to wait, I think in the next couple of years we will see something interesting. Right now I am not totally sure that next year I will test exactly all phones, I want to wait till next big event, but xiaomi 15u looks interesting on paper, and x200 ultra too but somewhat controversial
@AlienTechnologies33 I made a reply but I am not sure the comment is posted because I included a link. Anyway I was wanted to say that people have reported downgrades to image quality when updating to os5, especially when it comes to digital zoom such as 2x on main and 10x on zoom. It would be very Interesting to see an investigation of this.
@@AlienTechnologies33 I just did a test this afternoon originos4 vs originos5, there are some very large differences when zooming but I am not sure how I can share the pictures with you?
The best thing in your review that it is honest and not paid like others ❤❤ I was fooled and bought the x200 pro because of other reviewers Can you help me to use raw images to get the best out of its camera Cause i hate AI effects Keep going with your honesty and one day your channel will be the top for reviewing phone cameras One more question should i sell it and buy Xiaomi 14 ultra Or the difference is not that big Cause 100 ultra is not available in my country
Hello my friend. Please do not be sad. Please tell me after 3 weeks of use. Are you still finding results on x200 Pro not optimal for you? It is really interesting to me, because i get tons of hate and curse comments from people who do not even own a Vivo device or use older or cheaper models or who have buyers remorse. I really want to hear from real life user who knows what he wants. According your qustion - i found that sRaw results to be somewhat more pleasing, especially if you set sharpness to -10 or -20. I do not think that you need to switch right now. If i were on your place - here is my though process. I already spent money on brand new device - alright, i will lose money anyway, what can i do? If i buy this years models, i can potentially be not pleased either or wont get what i seek. On that Alien guy videos Xiaomi 14 Ultra had some AI problems also... what can i do? I think i can wait little bit, Xiaomi 15 Ultra is on the way, and will have 1 inch sensor and new HP9 1.4 inch telephoto as on Vivo. So i think no need to panic and waste more money right now. Just wait. Xiaomi 15 Ultra is looking very interesting. Oppo Find x8 Ultra by rumors will be Global. And Vivo x200 Ultra is on the way also
I got caught in the same situation with Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra. I have the cringiest videos i ever made about Las Vegas "Galaxy Unpacked" event, at that time i did not knew that it is all a lie and marketing fluff. I watched Mark Brownlees video "Why buy ANYTHING else" and Mr Who is the Boss "Phone of the Year award", and it influenced my buying decision. And i did not realised at that moment how i would regret it. That move cost me 400$, because "true samsung fans" always buy it cheap second hand, and i was very lucky to sell it 900$? because everyone offered me 500-600$
Thank you for the incredible video as usual. You are the best. Why are you not featuring the Xiaomi 14 ultra in your comparison anymore? Is it weaker than the Honor and the Huawei?
Hello. No my friend. I understood what were its powers and wanted to compare other phones. I would personally choose Xiaomi over Huawei. But Honor is different beast, Honor has very nice OS and Speakers sounds, but of course Xiaomi will beat both Honor and Huawei in photo battle, and will fight with Honor in LOG footage. The best phones so far that I tested were Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi. I loved those three and can easily use them as my daily devices. I already sold Xiaomi and lost only 50$. For example on Sony, Samsung I lost 400$ reselling, and pixel cant sell with even 500$ loss for 3 month already. No one is sending me this devices, so I buy it with my own money, and need to manage this stuff. I am not a smartphone reviewer, but show my path of finding new phone. May be next couple of years I repeat all this.
Thank god you exist and I found you.. I'm waiting for my x100 ultra to arrive and I had my doubts regarding it's quality vs x200 pro.. All other reviews says that x200 is better.. Now I have ease of mind.. As I figured out, I should turn of firmware update and leave it on out of the box firmware, as it seems that updates are ruining the ultra.. Am I right?
It had some telephoto improvements in the past, some people who updated on OS5 report similar behavior on telephoto. So right now I am not sure about updating, because I like what it does and do not need more, especially risking losing it. I think that all updates pre OS5 won't do harm. But again, I am not sure, because my ultra is on latest update from OS4
Would you please do a X100 Ultra Origin OS4 vs OS5 comparison? I am afraid of downgrade of the quality of the photos 🫣 and thank you for you excellent work what you doing 📷
@@kozaakozicka Thank you my friend. For the first time I thought that I would upgrade, but suddenly realised, that I bought ultra for myself and wanted to show my path of finding new phone after I lost previous one, and that I do not want to update and ruin fun expirience for myself. In the past updating and downgrading firmware was more easy and accessible. I to this day remember my old Xperia z2 and how I searched online for previous builds to restore old style and sounds. I wish we had open source free software, to install operating systems of our choice and side apps of enthusiast developers (I could easily pay up to 100-200$ for good open source photo/video app, if it is really good and I like it)
@@AlienTechnologies33 I agree with you it would be really cool. Being able to change the system or the camera application at will, but I'm not sure if we'll ever see something like that. Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the comparison of OS4 and OS5. I wish you a nice evening
@@chibuikeoffu There are only rumors, by them we will see upgrades, also downgrades. I think by the end or in the middle of the year. Also I keep an eye on xiaomi 15 ultra, looks interesting also. If money is not a problem, I suggest not to wait and experience it now, powerful small camera in a pocket, that gives instant emotions and expirience. But if this purchase is more well thought and you plan to keep and use device for long periods, of course I suggest to wait and see results, by that time x100 Ultra will be cheaper to find.
@AlienTechnologies33 Thank you very much for detailed reply. I will say money is not the issue now so I will wait for the Xiaomi 15 ultra review. I already have s23 ultra so i just need a camera beast to last me for a long time. If i need it urgently, then I'll go for the trusted vivo x100 ultra since it's trusted. Or out of pocket huawei mate 70 pro. Keep up the good work bro. You are an absolute legend!!
Thank you very much for your valuable review, my friend. You have put the final point with this comparison video. We see that the x100 Ultra is better in almost every field. But I would be very grateful if you could advise and help me who urgently needs to buy a phone. I wrote to you in your previous video, I told you that I was torn between the two devices, and here all indicators show that the x100 Ultra is better. But with the new processor that comes with the x200 Pro and the quality of the screen, the better battery life, the fact that the screen is flat around the perimeter (curved glass is seen as old fashioned) and the camera is not as good as the x100 ultra but still good enough to choose it? So I don't know, maybe there is the temptation to buy the new one or not. But after this video I'm kind of cold to the x200 Pro. I don't know what you think, I'm very curious about your advice and thoughts, I'm a bit confused. Thank you in advance. 🌌🛸
Hello my friend. Do not stress out, make it simple. Take a paper note (not digital, exactly paper and pen, i promise there is hidden magic behind it), and write down what is important for you in a smartphone, what you will use it for, do you love to listen music or videos without headphones etc. It will become crystal clear. For normal usecase there is nothing wrong in buying x200 Pro, especially if flat screen is something you care about. It is all about you and your needs.
@@AlienTechnologies33 You are so right my friend. Thank you for your advice. I think my priority will be x100 Utra. If I can't find it, I can buy x200 pro. (It is a bit hard to find here) By the way, I hope your channel gets more subscribers and reaches the value it deserves. Thanks again. ✨
@@AlienTechnologies33 Hello again my friend. I finally found a clean x100 ultra and bought it. The phone will arrive soon. Thanks to you, I think I made the right decision, thank you again for that. I am curious about something, do you protect the camera part of the x100 ultra with any protective film etc.? Is it necessary to protect it? Does this reduce the quality of the camera? Do you have any suggestions on how I can protect it in the best way? Also, when shake the phone, there is a sound coming from the camera part, I guess this is normal, right?
@Ubrmnch Hello my friend. Yes, shaky part is normal, all modern phones will have it, it is because of optical image stabilization, camera sensors are holding in place on magnets, to reduce hand shake. I suggest to protect camera bump, I have a protection case with plastic cover on camera, it has cut out for laser autofocus under Zeiss logo, and cut outs for lenses (4 holes, I do not put anything in front of glass itself) and it won't degrade image quality
@Ubrmnch I have dropped phone during filming phone battle videos, directly on the camera bump on sharp stones, if not the protection case, I think I could break it. But lucky I have only small scratch on the plastic of case, instead of phone glass
I expected worse hardware to produce worse results but not that much. I'm glad I didn't listen to the hype reviews that the X200 Pro is better than the Ultra. So far there is nothing better than the X100 Ultra on the market, I just hope the main sensor doesn't make it into the X200 Ultra as is now being speculated. I would have to keep the X100 Ultra for another year. I have OriginOS5 uninstalled on my X100 Ultra and the photos haven't deteriorated but sometime next year an algorithm update will come out for the telephoto lens to be the same as on the X200 Pro, so hopefully it won't deteriorate that much. Anyway great comparison as always. Best on TH-cam.
Those 50mm portraits on X100 Ultra looks so dark on the night portraits is that environment is so dark like that or the X100 Ultra processing is like that ?pls tell
And that's exactly why i bought X100 Ultra instead of X200 Pro. I know the 1 inch sensor matters. No matter how hard they will try to downgrade that 1 inch with software update , I will still be happy because hardware capabilities matter too. but I also know they're gonna bring back the 1 inch sensor with X200 Ultra. The X100 Pro and X100 Ultra is way ahead of it's time . Edit : Sadly it's confirmed that the X200 Ultra will not have the 1 inch sensor. Rip the beast 1 inch sensor
@@Razzlesnaps I think they just make space for ultra to have 1 inch sensor. X100P having 1 inch sensor ang good telephoto on 2023 was insane !!! And Ultra doesnt have any better setup, they just added better telephoto. Right now X200 Ultra they add 1 inch LYT-900 and HP9 so u gonna have best setup, but it still like X100 ultra setup with better battery and SOC.
That video from Honor looks incredible that’s how smartphone videos should look . I’m waiting for the x200 ultra to change mi s23U if it’s really an upgrade over the x100u otherwise I’m just gonna get the x100u at a cheaper price
🔥🔥🔥🔥 as always.... Vivo X100 U reigns supreme imo... 35 mm for the main on the X200 U?? Would like to see comparisons when it comes out... And hopefully the patience will be rewarded. As I've mentioned before -> it's a win win situation either way. The X100 U will be discounted so if not satisfied with the latest ultra, you can still grab the x100 U
FIREEEEE comparison 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! In the end, we can't fool physics. A bigger sensor is always better. Hardware based approach is more reliable no matter how the marketing team twisted their words mentioning that the smaller sensor is an upgrade because of the wider aperture. By the way Mr. Alien, I think you can keep your eyes on Xiaomi 15 ultra next year. Xiaomi keeps the 1 inch sensor and adds the 200 megapixel HP9 in its array of lenses. Unlike the Vivo X100 ultra, Xiaomi is able to put 4 sensors on the 15 ultra instead of 3 which means we can see a middle portrait focal length next year. The focal length of the HP9 is also better than x100 ultra, which is at 4.3x instead of 3.7x. But all these are just specs. The result matters more.
Brother like honestly you are what I was searching for all along where have you been all these years oh my goodness i m just watching full movie for my high value money 😅 still i have just started but i just want your opinion. Which one is best according to you just your words and i m going for it my perfence is fantastic photography and long battery life
Thank you my friend. Unfortunately there is no all in one solution right now, x100 Ultra has good battery life, but not mind blowing, xiaomi 14 Ultra has nice photo/video, but battery life is not great. Honor Magic - very cool solid device, but it needs gCam modes and third party apps for video to give nice performance, but battery life is strong. Oppo is very cool, but ColorOs has some limitations. So for Photography i think Vivo x100 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra on global are nice phones. I have full in depth battle about all this

Thank you for those detailed comparisons! In the video tests, in my opinion, you should try at least iphone 14 pro max, because from that generation, the main sensor is much bigger (1/1.28 inch vs 1/1.65 inch in iphone 13 pro), the IBIS got upgraded to second generation too, and it has Action mode for all cameras, even for the telephoto. That Action mode (when it's bright enough), for me, still gives the most stable video in any smartphones, especially on the main camera and 5x telephoto. And the amount of crop needed for electronic stabilisation is also the smallest, which gives the widest stabilised ultrawide video ever. It's true that in photo capturing, iphone 16 is not much different from iphone 13 (in some areas, I think it got even worse than iphone 11). However in video recording, it's a different story.
@@mtp4804 I want to release apple eco system videos, behind the scene I already tested iPhone 13 pro, iPad 12.9 m1 with pencil 2, apple watch 6, m1 max, m1 pro. I have all the video materials, and was able to sell everything except laptops, just need to find time for editing. Also will compare it vs Zephyrus 2024. Main point will be not a raw performance vs modern devices, but philosophy and user expirience. I needed to get used to apple products, to comment on it and make conclusions. May be will test 17 or 18 line up, who knows
should i get the x200 pro or the x100 pro, x100 ultra is out of the equation for me since it's not global and lack some essential features for my use case..?
Hello my friend. I think that only you have an answer for this question. I just help revealing the details and show what it can and cant do. Use pencil and paper, write down what is really important for you and make discussions by it. For some people even iPhone or samsung can be better choice if they find some features very important for them.
Do you think I should wait for x200 ultra or buy x100 ultra today? I like that it has 35mm main sensor focal lenght but I dont want to regret trading 1 inch sensor for that... your opinion?
Please take my advice with a grain of salt. But if I was in this situation right now, I would wait to x200 Ultra, see comparisons online and than decide, I am sure Ultra x100 will be cheaper at that point. I will buy x200 Ultra for review, a final phone for this couple of years, and will slow down with phone reviews and will wait till something big happens.
Very nice. Do not understand your comment when you said that vivo X100 Ultra could worsen its photo performance with the upcoming Origin OS5. Thing is, I am waiting for the Origin OS5 to be available before buying the X100 Ultra. Overall, the X100 Ultra is a truly advanced model (not just a clone) considering it is head and shoulders above the competition. Yet another needed review is the OnePlus 12. While it's photo performance is not the best, its photo quality seems to be close to the "flagships" in this video and still offer some other dimensions that made One Plus 12 the top popular phone in 2024. Thumbs up!
@@StarNumbers Some people report more aggressive computation and outlines on tele zooms. I enjoy what x100 ultra produces in terms of soft but very natural image with textures, depth and details, and I won't be comfortable updating, knowing that image may be more fake and artificial, like on x200 Pro. This is what I was referring to. Of course new OS5 features are nice, but I'd rather stay on OS4 but preserve everything like it is right now
I felt X100 Ultra telephoto lens downgraded especially night low light photos after I have installed Origin OS 5 on X100 Ultra? Am I the only one who been in the issues? The night time photos were fine with Origin OS 4 at that time 😢
@@AlienTechnologies33 About the difference though, I think new update with the one of Android Auto kinda fix the issues but the issue still remains . For example , when we shoot photos or videos in the low light with the scene of street light is white but in my view finder on phone, it shows blue-ish cool tone. That is what I don't satisfy to see. Thanks for asking me ♥️🙏🏼
I wish all phones have something similar to Dex, but actually better. I tried to use Dex on my Galaxy Tab S4, but it did not worked out, it could not replace a small laptop for me. The biggest problem was that i could not drag and drop files that easy like on traditional computer, for example when sending stuff via whatsapp
@@AlienTechnologies33 Well the battery life of my Huawei Mate 20 pro (old phone) is not the best right now. When i get my new phone i will use it with the case glued to a portable toutch monitor with a power bank and baaam... i have a new tablet/computer.
1:20:34 interesting comparison, it was to be expected that a PRO is not the same as the ULTRA and I am referring to the VIVO. I have my Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and I have gone to claim that it is defective because when taking pictures in PRO mode they come out blurry, a lot of noise and litmus. I told them that before I had the P60 Pro and took spectacular photos. Since May I have not had an answer from Huawei Mexico .... I bought a new model expecting to have better photos and the result was not so. Watching your VIDEO I see the photo NITIDA, no NOISE, I still insist that my Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has a defect in PROFESSIONAL mode. I wish you could share with me an "astrophoto" photo so I can go to Huawei and tell them that my device has a defect. Greetings and excellent comparison.
I sold it, nothing to learn anymore. Very nice device that fights on the same level as Vivo Ultra and Oppo Ultra. Huawei and Honor are not there in terms of Photo, audio is better on Honor like no joke. In wait mode until 15 Ultra will come out. I am not full time smartphone reviewer. I am reviewing devices that i look for myself or can potentially buy myself
Next Year i think i will look at Vivo x200 Ultra, Oppo Find x8 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Other devices need to impress me very much to even consider looking.
Right now Vivo x100 Ultra, that's why it is still in the battles. The biggest downsides with it - inability to use all smartwatches on Wear OS (because of smartwatch manufacturers) and some ai features and assistant is on Chinese. But I love Galaxy watch 4 classic and it is compatible, also I am using third party assistant, so no problems for me here. Other than that I see no huge problems and dealbreakers.
Great Work.Nice to see the truth.that's why i love smal Underdog channels.They are Independent and not involved in companys.On other pretty big Channels,they made the x100Ultra look "bad" by purpose i think because of Promotion for the x200pro.
very good comparison, subscribed! Absolutely detailed comparision what i was looking for. Now i wont buy the vivo x200 pro its all hype and they ended the excitement by downgrading the sensor size. Now my eyes on xiaomi 15 ultra i hope they keep the 1 inch sensor unlike vivo otherwise its all done
I have purchased the x100 ultra, received yesterday! I would like to ask what is the best overall settings for camera for Sharpness Contrast Brightness Saturation ? Currently I have put minimum Sharpness Currently 1hr into the video, the best phone reviewer 👌🏼👌🏼
Hello my friend. It depends on my mood. Sometimes i like to shoot Vivid with all default, sometimes Textured with Brightness slightly up, Sharpness slightly down, and Saturation slightly down. Sometimes Zeiss Natural with slightly up contrast and slightly down saturation. Also sometimes i turn off HDR when there is not much dynamic range. And sometimes i turn on Face Retouching inside Portrait mode for maximum ANIME ✨
@AlienTechnologies33 thank you for your help, do you have one or two best settings for taking photos of people indoors and keeping maximum detail? It feels like if there is light behind the person it makes the person look like they were photoshopped in front :(
These companies always ruins the cameras when the new model releases. Same will happen to x100 ultra. I am really confused now 😢. I just want good details and zoom. Now i am thinking to get a camera but that is difficult to carry everywhere like phone. Is there any camera which performs this top level with details and zoom and pocket sized. I am not a photography guy but still....😅. Currently i have s23 and its camera also degraded after the updates. 😢
if I correctly understand your question. X200 Pro has panorama inside "Landscape mode" and it is combined with "Night Panorama", on OS4 it has separate dedicated Normal and Night Panorama modes
Was Huawei with harmonyos os or emui , because harmonyos is received a lot camera updates and better than emui,idk why they always improve harmonyos not emui
@AlienTechnologies33 because of that those zoom photos was awful, i have a Huawei p60 with emui , i compared it with harmony version and differences was significant
Hey Alien, i have a special usecase. I need the best videocamera smartphone for nightvideos/lowlight conditions. I will be Filming product videos with Gimbal of Bicycle lights in motion on Bikes. I thought of the Sony Xperia 1 Vi, but got a recommendation from a photographer friend to switch to xiaomi 14 ultra. Now am unsure watching your videos. I don´t have a photographer background but i can learn it. If it makes a difference at choosing. Please let me know your thoughts what´s the best for this particular usecase. Price doesn´t matter. Best, André
@@CaramellsutraA For videos, I think Xiaomi, x200 Pro. Both can work. x100 Ultra have dedicated night video, but better to use gimbal, and gimbal need to be stronger, to balance camera bumps. Soon Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be released. But have you ever considered DJI Osmo Pocket 3? It has "low light" mode with relatively clean image and high iso. Sony Xperia has some problems and low light looks really trash.
Here is more examples, it has timestamps, you can skip photo and go strait to video part. It has even DJI vs Phones examples Infinity Phones - th-cam.com/video/ItoDkhOIIy4/w-d-xo.html Star Phones Ep2 - th-cam.com/video/dbPTwvks2as/w-d-xo.html Game of Phones - th-cam.com/video/1JqYFbSYen0/w-d-xo.html
@@AlienTechnologies33 Hey Alien, thats a fast and detailed response. Wow, thanks for that. Reason for smarphone is, i always have it with me. So shooting becomes natural, not something i have to plan up front. For work: The Gimbal i would use is the Hohem iSteady M6. It has 400 Grams capacity, though saw a reviewer tested it up to 600 grams as well. So no limitation here. Okay, i got your point. Yea the 15 ultra would be great, but it seems to be released in march 25´ earliest for the european market. Could be the best choice for who can wait, i guess. Night mode on x100 Ultra, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and X200 Pro has this too, right? Night mode sounds great, but is it actually just automatic with ISO increased or is there more to it which makes it a strong recommendation for night videography for filming bicycle-lights. Will check out your mentioned videos soon :)
1" sensor really made a lot of difference.. unfortunately X200 Pro is the only available unit in my country. Comparison is good, already known some of x200 Vivo weaknesses and limitation the global only received 1 update at present. Overall x200 Pro excellent in its own as it can still compete with the ultra/ultimate line up.
@AlienTechnologies33 Haha...Already have the x200 Pro. Hope they update the selfie, with the auto focus. Cause of this vid had to practice with my x200 pro
@DuotoneXIII I think it is hardware level limitation on selfie and can not be fixed via firmware. There are no motors and magnets inside it, just fixed glass. But if you find a sweet spot for arm length, face will be in focus 🛰️
@@AlienTechnologies33 I see... Not really much of an issue for me Vivo still take excellent selfies, due to the auto focus limitation I set a timer for photos. Steady face and dolby vision on video is very handy on certain scenarios.
Very nice and extremely detailed comparison video, Love it! It seems the Vivo x100 Ultra still outshines in photo's! But the x200 Pro definitely seems to have had a nice upgrade in Video quality. The amount of details that remain in the low-light video and the vry well Dynamic Range on the x200 Pro, where they are washed out in the Noise reduction, and blown-out on the x100 Ultra, ..it really is a testify that despite the smaller sensor, the new Sony sensor does perform remarkably well for video in low-light! On the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in Pro/Manual mode, (with stabilization off), the ISO on the main camera can go as high as 32.000..! (Which helped a lot in shooting video from the Northern Lights with the phone) ....I was wondering, how high you can go with the ISO on the x100 Ultra and x200 Pro in Pro/Manual mode...?
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography Yes, new algorithms are very good in uncontrolled everything on auto, but unfortunately in controlled manual mode I find results on x200 Pro unusable, noise is impossible to fix even with noise reduction. Even during the day if you pay attention on sky and water, x200 Pro has very visible noise patterns, especially Luma noise which is hard to fix. For example i like to set Ultra on Log or sLog3 in third party app on tripod, but I cant do it on x200 Pro. Not like it is impossible, but i am not comfortable of doing it. Sometimes I film unboxing or second angles with x100 Ultra and image is very clean.
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography Yes, Log on x200 pro is in Pro and basic video modes, in all 3 lenses and in 60 fps instead of 30 only. Not like 8 gen 3 cant do it, but I guess it is reserved for future phones.
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography I wish camera api was fully functional, because third party app with its log curves and gamuts is way better than this vivo log, the lut they provide make an image look green and strange, I worked hard to make it look this way, it is my custom color grading, not what vivo gives from Lut
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography But i really glad to see smartphones moving this way. I think Vivo has the best Pro mode. Waveforms, zebras, focus peaking, audio monitor, computational Log, love it. Not a gimmicky rudiment with face make up and blur, but handy serious tool. Only wish burn in custom luts, full 32 bit audio support and false color
Not sure, I hope, but I am okay with China version. Lame that cant use Blue Copilot, Jovi assistant, Vivo circle to search, because it is on chinese, but other than that have no problems.
@@adyady3099 what are the downsides? Some people won't buy Chinese versions I heard it has something to do with what networks won't work I still need to make calls and text.
@@Razzlesnaps It depends on antenna bands, 7 and 20 band most of the time. Different country military, government, Illuminati, reptilians organizations use different reserved frequencies for communications. For example Oppo x7 ultra, vivo x100 ultra has all bands for network, so no problems
Of course the ultra is better than the pro. It must be taken into consideration that mediatek is lagging behind Snapdragon regarding the isp Thank you for the colossal work.
Since the color comparison of all the devices, vivo x100 ultra with 1inch type sensor, has the best quality photo overall, at least at that 2x zoom or 46mm… its incredible and I feel happy that I didn’t buy the Huawei pura 70 ultra haha
@@Daphne2342 Agree, something is very off with colors on this device. Some people say that Harmoy OS is way better than EMUI version, but I press "X" for doubt, because I can understand small difference, but not like that much. My wife has slightly yellow skin and tan because of the sun, and time of the day shined a warm light at face, so there is a reason why colors are that way. I do not think that its possible to get 1 to 1 accurate Medium Format or full frame gradients on 1 inch walkie talkie, but I find results on Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi very close to reality, but unfortunately on Huawei is something way off

Я запутался - сравнение то x100 ultra то с x100 pro. Материал как всегда классный! Но по теме - не надо сравнивать ultra с про, это разные серии. Вот если было правильно как раз с сотой прошкой с равнить - есть как и улучения так и даунгрейт.
Много запросов было, как именно прошлогодняя Ultra будет в сравнении с Pro, так как по цене на бу рынке можно купить ультру по цене Про или даже дешевле. Так же очень много комментариев на прошлые видео было что x200 Pro "уделывает" ультру и теперь лучший камерофон по всем аспектам, я устал с ними вступать в спор и расставил всё на свои места, чтобы было наглядно где улучшения, а где нужно подумать.

Please compare iphone 16 promax with vivo x100 Ultra 🙏
Thanks for correcting me on your other video. The review I was watching was more in showing of standard non-zoomed-in photos and video recordings. The aggressive AI in those cases made the x200pro look slightly better than the x100ultra. What might be a big difference as well is that he was taking photos in Capetown during the afternoon so any weakness caused by a lack of natural light would not reflect as much as on your videos. Lets hope that they improve the censor and make it even better than the x100 ultra on the x200ultra. It does seem that even in Vivo-friendly countries it's taking long for them to make enough to export even the x100 to Capetown officially.
I respect your judgment but I think that vivo is not at the level of huawei as far as photography is concerned. Vivo has an effect in every photo and it is saturated. When it comes to the best example you have to take the naturalness of the photo. Vivo does not have this in most scenarios. I think Huawei makes the difference here
@inovationtechnology Thank you for watching my friend. But have to argue. Huawei has one of the most awful inaccurate colors that I saw on any modern phones. Especially original color profile, it is way, way off, and in a bad way, no time in this video the scene or face looked even remotely close to what Huawei produce, not to tell about its computation, something is very weird is going on with this device.
@@inovationtechnology on Vivo you can easily make more and less saturation in 1 click of a button + scene looked almost exactly like this, it was a very sunny bright day and colors was really poppy and vibrant
I don't regret at all having switched from the honor Magic6 pro to the vivo x100 ultra, you can't imagine the satisfaction it gave me to hear you say that it is the best of all 2024 and possibly 2025❤
U are the best, I bought my x100 u based on your reviews😊❤
Wish you a very nice photos and videos with your new device 🛸
you truly are an alien man nnobody posts this much detailed videos ,Nice job

Good job, you are the only one diving that deep in to the results, not only specs. Thanks for that 👌
I feel that the prices of flagship phones are exaggerated compared to their real value. I feel very disappointed with all companies.
@@alleeadl289 Exactly!
It's been like this since cellphones have been out for decades. It's a business. That needs to make money.
Phone prices in China are not exorbitant though
Well in defence of these phones. they are all about half the price of the iPhone 16pro in my country.
x200 pro and ultra are 800 euro while an iphone is 1400 euro so i'd say vivo has the best price given their best performance
Before I buy my next phone I'll go through this guy's videos. Infact X100 ultra might be my next phone

X100U is the best for the photo. X200 pro is for video. This comparison is awesome!!! Very detailed!
Hi my friend, at 1:32:26 I completely agree, sleepers need to wake up and I remain polite ! At 2:30:15 excellent vibrations run through my body ! Otherwise when a wave of freshness meets a fiery inner fire, the result of this union is this video there front of our eyes ! My preference ? The X100U but I knew that since the release of the X200Pro. Top 3 of 2024 ? 14U, X100U, X7U. Looking forward to 2025 for their next generation of Ultras, to choose the unique one ! Or maybe I fall back on a used model from 2024...which I really wouldn't want... Everything will depend on the Wow effect in photo/video/camera software. Mi11U user for more than 3 years and still rocks but I need to move on. Cheers for your immense precision work ! 🙏
@@christianf9844 Hello my friend. Completly agree, x7u, x100u and 14u were very impressive, I really enjoyed using them. I chose x100u for me, because it was more reliable in all sittuations.
I will make "Smartphone of the future 2.0" video, because my old 1.0 one was kinda boring, made it that year after long hard day with tired face on video.
I wish to see 2 telephotos, one for macro, one for telezoom with similar size to hp9, 1/1.4 inch ultrawide, and preferably in triple foldable body with 2 USB type c with thunderbolt, and combo 3.5mm jack with amplifiers. Mothership of phones 🛸
This person really likes the X100 Ultra, even though I think the X200 Pro is still okay for people who don't really care about pixels or AI.

The problem with the 1 inch sensor (lyt-900) is focus point. Because of the bigness the point of focus is always small and the picture looks blurry. As an photographer u want maybe a strong bokeh but for us, its important to get better clearness instead of strong bookeh..
I could agree, but if image in most cases was not that plastic with wierd black fake outlines. 1 in sensor can be improved by aperture and leaf shutter.
Or otherwise we can say the same about any smartphone with any lens and any sensor size. I think that first thing goes objective stuff. And then, if subjectively you are okay with something or even like it - more powers to you, choose what you need, it is smartphone that you will use afterall. I just want to point out objective stuff, what to expect and what not to.
@@AlienTechnologies33 :) as result we need a Phone With Pixel Software and highest Hardware Like x100 ultra.. but this will never Happen
My dream phones will have an ability to install open source operating systems of our choice, as we can on computers. But unfortunately, as we see on apple, even computers become locked. But no one can stop us of dreaming and talking about it 🔮
Thanks for this explanation
You come up with a special video yet again... exceptional.... the only risk or challenge i see is importing vivo x100 ultra. example, i am from India, but since this phone doesnt have a global version, one has to take the risk of owning it and then maybe getting to know how well the phone works in all departments such as 5G bands, ROM, supported apps, after sales, replacement of screen in some rare accidents, back covers, and specially privacy.. online support for any glitches or any software updates if not pushed in other countries... ofcourse after owning this phone for a couple of years, you got to keep it till the end, unlike sometimes as we give it to someone or resell it.. if you have any suggestions on this point let me know ;) .....
@@expressions0007thank you my friend. The main point of this video was not to tell that x200 pro is bad and you should avoid it at all costs, but show the real difference, so people know what to expect, where are improvements and where they should decide what is worth for them or what is not. X200 Pro is not a bad phone in any means, I like Vivo phones, and with good deal below 700-600$ it can be very nice deal. Of course always better to weight everything. But for example I sold samsung s24 ultra with 400$ loss, sony 1 m6 with 400$ loss, used apple 13 pro costed 500$ and lost 100$, oppo x7 ultra with 200$ loss, and Google pixel I cant sell for even 500$ loss for 3 month already
@@AlienTechnologies33 well the results that you showed gives a clear idea about the excellent optics of V100 ultra.... For a true enthusiast, V100 ultra is way ahead with excellent quality.... That's why we all love to see your videos and patiently wait to see the results in different conditions....
just ordered the x200 pro 3 mins ago based on your videos. i cant wait. Keep up the quality content 💯

Hey thanks for shooting more LOG videos at night! Looking at the building with the red signs in the background at 2:27:35 the x100u does seem to give a more detailed/less noisy picture quality but sadly it seems to struggle a lot with image stabilization. This makes me unsure of whether to go for the x100u or the x200pro. I do really like the x100 ultra 1 inch sensor performance especially on 2x digital crop for pictures. I just wish the x200pro had a 1inch main sensor as well 🥲
@@stickmennoeller I am usually very aggressive and rough with phones, to stress test their performance. I think that if you do not pixel peep, x200 Pro can be good phone also, I just find results on video with manual controls in controlled environment better on Ultra, even in third party app I can place it on tripod and get second angle with clean image. Also new log on Pro is more flat, but I struggled to bring contrast into the shot without ruining highlights.
@@stickmennoeller But something like dji pocket 3 can easily cover my "vlogging" needs
@@AlienTechnologies33 That makes sense! Also, I noticed that when you turned ISO to automatic for the x100 ultra, the stabilization shaking immediately improved (timestamp around 2:29:17). But maybe I am just imagining things.
Hello Bro please do Quad Camera Battle in very detail between :
✅ Vivo X100 Ultra
✅ Oppo Find X7 Ultra
✅ Huawei Mate 70 RS Ultimate Design
✅ Honor Magic 7 Pro
Thank you Brother 👍😁🙏
Respect as always! Could you please share more insights on the AI zoom enchantment that's currently available on x200 Pro. I think it might be useful, curious if we get it on x100 Ultra going forward.
@@AlexR-wk6zf Thank you for watching. This "Telephoto enchantment" feature need to be turned on/off in the settings in camera app. It uses some ai upscaling models. This is a trend in modern smartphones, people see more outlines/dots in the image and immediately think that image is better and has more details, but without considering next factors: real texture of the object/subject, stone looks half matt, metals should look shiny, specular, but ai upscaling if implemented bad can completly remove this textures feelings, metal no longer looks like metal, stone like stone, paint like paint, skin like skin, but more like plastic or rough paper with pencil outlines and water painting without gradients. Also it can remove depth perception, you can no longer feel the roundness of objects, they become more like greenscreened and flat, like 2d image.
But the biggest problem starts when people start to aggressively mock people in the comments, that image with this black outlines and paper texture is better, thus "x" phone is better than "y". And when reviewers start to say, that image looks better because we see more defined lines (even if they are black and distorted) Companies start to implement such features more and more, that's why we have this wierd ai upscaling in Xiaomi, Oppo find x7 Ultra made an update for second telephoto lens, that made it almost completely unusable for me, I even preferred first telephoto 3x, even though it was very soft, I have lots of examples in previous videos of Oppo. And now Vivo goes by this path, even if we turn this feature off, it by default uses more aggressive drawings.
There are some upscaling models that do not ruin the image.
My stand that Ai must be a helping hand, but not so aggressive and fake
Very detailed comparisons. I hope you include Oppo Find X7 Ultra also but nevertheless an awesome content. Will continue watch your channel for smartphone camera comparison. Not a bias channel. More power to you

Can we shoot log on motioncam with x100 ultra? If yes, can we switch lenses and use the telephoto?
Ultra has its own Vivo log in Pro mode, and in motion cam it is possible to use telephoto. But I like mcpro24fps more for this purpose, and over there it is also possible to switch lenses, but only optical image stabilization works

It has telegram group, free test app, but only on russian language with all functionalities and can record and save videos. One in Huawei store and Play store has multilanguage, but demo, without recording option (need to buy to unlock)
Unfortunately on Pura 70 Ultra it does not work, because its camera api is broken, I have tests on "Star Phone Episodes 2 - Android Strikes Back", image on Huawei does not have any effect, and if you press white balance image becomes green without any ability to fix it. It would be cool if it worked, it whould fix Huawei video problems
Only smartphones that were most compatible with it were Samsung s24 Ultra (but image is still meh), Xiaomi, Pixel and Sony was okay, but some functions were broken, and Honor is the best, like I was surprised that everything works and looks nice.
I use this program with Vivo for second camera angle, but of course on tripod, because only optical stabe works, no digital, but it has 10 bit video, 32 bit audio and clean slog3 image
@@AlienTechnologies33 huawei has both software and hardware limitations because of the ban. If it was not about the ban then this company would do better in all aspects I believe

@AlienTechnologies33 to me Huawei Pura 70 Ultra is best for human shots and selfies . I have used vivox100 pro before too. Which one do you think is best for human shots?
I won't trade Huawei for x100 Pro, but x100 Ultra is very tempting. But if you are pleased with results, no need to waste money.
@@AlienTechnologies33 in my opinion x100 ultra is good but I lean towards the skin colour of huawei more than vivo

You Sir have earned yourself a lifelong subscriber
I love your reviews. Most detailed youtube cameraphone reviewer ever haha. I just downgraded from S22 Ultra to Note 10 +, cause the ultra diied in an accident hahah. Im trying to choose my new phone but every now and then I'm getting more and more confused. I really fell in love to the X100 Ultra when it came out. The X200 pro was nice on launch too, too sad it lost the 1 inch sensor and the good front camera but it brings flat sides and better battery life to the group. Alse there comes the Oppo Find x8 pro which is also a solid pick. Can you also make a video on the Honor Magic 7 Pro when you get your hands on it. I'm hoping for a huge improvement over the 6 Pro in the camera department software-wise at least.
@@petarsarbinski4772 sometimes I want to downgrade to old Nokia and take 5d mark ii and expirience those times again, but I guess I need to be accurate with wishes, sometimes they can incarnate in unpredictable ways 👽💣🌍
I think that if s10 (very solid compact nice device) is can serve you little more, to wait, I think in the next couple of years we will see something interesting. Right now I am not totally sure that next year I will test exactly all phones, I want to wait till next big event, but xiaomi 15u looks interesting on paper, and x200 ultra too but somewhat controversial

Good sir, are you using OS4 on X100 ultra?
@@ronjatter Yes, version 4, I am hesitating to update, think about staying at OS4
@AlienTechnologies33 I made a reply but I am not sure the comment is posted because I included a link.
Anyway I was wanted to say that people have reported downgrades to image quality when updating to os5, especially when it comes to digital zoom such as 2x on main and 10x on zoom. It would be very Interesting to see an investigation of this.

Cause i hate AI effects
Keep going with your honesty and one day your channel will be the top for reviewing phone cameras
One more question should i sell it and buy Xiaomi 14 ultra
Or the difference is not that big
Cause 100 ultra is not available in my country
Hello my friend. Please do not be sad. Please tell me after 3 weeks of use. Are you still finding results on x200 Pro not optimal for you? It is really interesting to me, because i get tons of hate and curse comments from people who do not even own a Vivo device or use older or cheaper models or who have buyers remorse. I really want to hear from real life user who knows what he wants.
According your qustion - i found that sRaw results to be somewhat more pleasing, especially if you set sharpness to -10 or -20.
I do not think that you need to switch right now. If i were on your place - here is my though process.
I already spent money on brand new device - alright, i will lose money anyway, what can i do?
If i buy this years models, i can potentially be not pleased either or wont get what i seek.
On that Alien guy videos Xiaomi 14 Ultra had some AI problems also... what can i do?
I think i can wait little bit, Xiaomi 15 Ultra is on the way, and will have 1 inch sensor and new HP9 1.4 inch telephoto as on Vivo.
So i think no need to panic and waste more money right now. Just wait. Xiaomi 15 Ultra is looking very interesting. Oppo Find x8 Ultra by rumors will be Global. And Vivo x200 Ultra is on the way also
I got caught in the same situation with Samsung Galaxy s24 Ultra. I have the cringiest videos i ever made about Las Vegas "Galaxy Unpacked" event, at that time i did not knew that it is all a lie and marketing fluff.
I watched Mark Brownlees video "Why buy ANYTHING else" and Mr Who is the Boss "Phone of the Year award", and it influenced my buying decision.
And i did not realised at that moment how i would regret it. That move cost me 400$, because "true samsung fans" always buy it cheap second hand, and i was very lucky to sell it 900$? because everyone offered me 500-600$
Thats why i made a final review video about Samsung that i called "Buy ANYTHING Else" lol 🛸
Thank you for the incredible video as usual. You are the best.
Why are you not featuring the Xiaomi 14 ultra in your comparison anymore? Is it weaker than the Honor and the Huawei?
Hello. No my friend. I understood what were its powers and wanted to compare other phones. I would personally choose Xiaomi over Huawei. But Honor is different beast, Honor has very nice OS and Speakers sounds, but of course Xiaomi will beat both Honor and Huawei in photo battle, and will fight with Honor in LOG footage.
The best phones so far that I tested were Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi. I loved those three and can easily use them as my daily devices.
I already sold Xiaomi and lost only 50$. For example on Sony, Samsung I lost 400$ reselling, and pixel cant sell with even 500$ loss for 3 month already. No one is sending me this devices, so I buy it with my own money, and need to manage this stuff. I am not a smartphone reviewer, but show my path of finding new phone.
May be next couple of years I repeat all this.
@@tabiriibrahim5369 To say it shortly, Xiaomi is fire ❤️🔥
On this channel I want to review daily devices that I am interested in, phones, laptops, computers. Virtual helmets and human body augmentation

Thank god you exist and I found you.. I'm waiting for my x100 ultra to arrive and I had my doubts regarding it's quality vs x200 pro.. All other reviews says that x200 is better.. Now I have ease of mind.. As I figured out, I should turn of firmware update and leave it on out of the box firmware, as it seems that updates are ruining the ultra.. Am I right?
It had some telephoto improvements in the past, some people who updated on OS5 report similar behavior on telephoto. So right now I am not sure about updating, because I like what it does and do not need more, especially risking losing it.
I think that all updates pre OS5 won't do harm. But again, I am not sure, because my ultra is on latest update from OS4
Would you please do a X100 Ultra Origin OS4 vs OS5 comparison? I am afraid of downgrade of the quality of the photos 🫣 and thank you for you excellent work what you doing 📷
@@kozaakozicka Thank you my friend. For the first time I thought that I would upgrade, but suddenly realised, that I bought ultra for myself and wanted to show my path of finding new phone after I lost previous one, and that I do not want to update and ruin fun expirience for myself. In the past updating and downgrading firmware was more easy and accessible. I to this day remember my old Xperia z2 and how I searched online for previous builds to restore old style and sounds.
I wish we had open source free software, to install operating systems of our choice and side apps of enthusiast developers (I could easily pay up to 100-200$ for good open source photo/video app, if it is really good and I like it)
@@kozaakozicka But, one of the subscribers were kind enough to send me before and after photos. I will include them in OS4 vs OS5 review

@@chibuikeoffu There are only rumors, by them we will see upgrades, also downgrades. I think by the end or in the middle of the year. Also I keep an eye on xiaomi 15 ultra, looks interesting also.
If money is not a problem, I suggest not to wait and experience it now, powerful small camera in a pocket, that gives instant emotions and expirience. But if this purchase is more well thought and you plan to keep and use device for long periods, of course I suggest to wait and see results, by that time x100 Ultra will be cheaper to find.
@AlienTechnologies33 Thank you very much for detailed reply. I will say money is not the issue now so I will wait for the Xiaomi 15 ultra review. I already have s23 ultra so i just need a camera beast to last me for a long time. If i need it urgently, then I'll go for the trusted vivo x100 ultra since it's trusted. Or out of pocket huawei mate 70 pro. Keep up the good work bro. You are an absolute legend!!
Thank you very much for your valuable review, my friend. You have put the final point with this comparison video. We see that the x100 Ultra is better in almost every field. But I would be very grateful if you could advise and help me who urgently needs to buy a phone. I wrote to you in your previous video, I told you that I was torn between the two devices, and here all indicators show that the x100 Ultra is better. But with the new processor that comes with the x200 Pro and the quality of the screen, the better battery life, the fact that the screen is flat around the perimeter (curved glass is seen as old fashioned) and the camera is not as good as the x100 ultra but still good enough to choose it? So I don't know, maybe there is the temptation to buy the new one or not. But after this video I'm kind of cold to the x200 Pro. I don't know what you think, I'm very curious about your advice and thoughts, I'm a bit confused. Thank you in advance. 🌌🛸
Hello my friend. Do not stress out, make it simple. Take a paper note (not digital, exactly paper and pen, i promise there is hidden magic behind it), and write down what is important for you in a smartphone, what you will use it for, do you love to listen music or videos without headphones etc. It will become crystal clear. For normal usecase there is nothing wrong in buying x200 Pro, especially if flat screen is something you care about. It is all about you and your needs.
@@AlienTechnologies33 You are so right my friend. Thank you for your advice. I think my priority will be x100 Utra. If I can't find it, I can buy x200 pro. (It is a bit hard to find here)
By the way, I hope your channel gets more subscribers and reaches the value it deserves. Thanks again. ✨
@@AlienTechnologies33 Hello again my friend. I finally found a clean x100 ultra and bought it. The phone will arrive soon. Thanks to you, I think I made the right decision, thank you again for that. I am curious about something, do you protect the camera part of the x100 ultra with any protective film etc.? Is it necessary to protect it? Does this reduce the quality of the camera? Do you have any suggestions on how I can protect it in the best way? Also, when shake the phone, there is a sound coming from the camera part, I guess this is normal, right?
@Ubrmnch Hello my friend. Yes, shaky part is normal, all modern phones will have it, it is because of optical image stabilization, camera sensors are holding in place on magnets, to reduce hand shake.
I suggest to protect camera bump, I have a protection case with plastic cover on camera, it has cut out for laser autofocus under Zeiss logo, and cut outs for lenses (4 holes, I do not put anything in front of glass itself) and it won't degrade image quality
@Ubrmnch I have dropped phone during filming phone battle videos, directly on the camera bump on sharp stones, if not the protection case, I think I could break it. But lucky I have only small scratch on the plastic of case, instead of phone glass
I expected worse hardware to produce worse results but not that much. I'm glad I didn't listen to the hype reviews that the X200 Pro is better than the Ultra. So far there is nothing better than the X100 Ultra on the market, I just hope the main sensor doesn't make it into the X200 Ultra as is now being speculated. I would have to keep the X100 Ultra for another year.
I have OriginOS5 uninstalled on my X100 Ultra and the photos haven't deteriorated but sometime next year an algorithm update will come out for the telephoto lens to be the same as on the X200 Pro, so hopefully it won't deteriorate that much. Anyway great comparison as always. Best on TH-cam.
Thank you my friend for your kind words 🕯️🔥☄️✨🌌 Hope it helps in decision making
Interesting, how do you know the algorithm update for the telephoto lens will come to the x100ultra?
Those 50mm portraits on X100 Ultra looks so dark on the night portraits is that environment is so dark like that or the X100 Ultra processing is like that ?pls tell
It was very dark and dim, those lanterns were not bright at all
Hello! Which software you have used to combine all 4 images in one place?
Butterfly viewer
And that's exactly why i bought X100 Ultra instead of X200 Pro. I know the 1 inch sensor matters. No matter how hard they will try to downgrade that 1 inch with software update , I will still be happy because hardware capabilities matter too. but I also know they're gonna bring back the 1 inch sensor with X200 Ultra. The X100 Pro and X100 Ultra is way ahead of it's time . Edit : Sadly it's confirmed that the X200 Ultra will not have the 1 inch sensor. Rip the beast 1 inch sensor
as of now vivo will use the same main sensor and also use that sensor as ultra wide (which coull be insane for an ultra wide)
It's been confirmed the x200 ultra will use the same sensor
Not sure why they downsized the sensor I heard it helped lower the cost of the phone.
Will see, may be it will be surprise. Thank you all for coming to my campfire 🔥🕯️
@@Razzlesnaps I think they just make space for ultra to have 1 inch sensor. X100P having 1 inch sensor ang good telephoto on 2023 was insane !!! And Ultra doesnt have any better setup, they just added better telephoto. Right now X200 Ultra they add 1 inch LYT-900 and HP9 so u gonna have best setup, but it still like X100 ultra setup with better battery and SOC.
@@Giorgiio69 x200 ultra will not 1 inch. its confirmed. 1.1/3 and 1.1/4 are applied on x200 ultra.
That video from Honor looks incredible that’s how smartphone videos should look . I’m waiting for the x200 ultra to change mi s23U if it’s really an upgrade over the x100u otherwise I’m just gonna get the x100u at a cheaper price
Nice plan 🔮
🔥🔥🔥🔥 as always.... Vivo X100 U reigns supreme imo... 35 mm for the main on the X200 U?? Would like to see comparisons when it comes out... And hopefully the patience will be rewarded. As I've mentioned before -> it's a win win situation either way. The X100 U will be discounted so if not satisfied with the latest ultra, you can still grab the x100 U
Thank you for watching my friend 🔥 I think I will order x200 Ultra to finish this saga. Hopefully there will be noticable improvements
keep up the good work, appreciated.
☯️✨🌌
FIREEEEE comparison 🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!! In the end, we can't fool physics. A bigger sensor is always better. Hardware based approach is more reliable no matter how the marketing team twisted their words mentioning that the smaller sensor is an upgrade because of the wider aperture.
By the way Mr. Alien, I think you can keep your eyes on Xiaomi 15 ultra next year. Xiaomi keeps the 1 inch sensor and adds the 200 megapixel HP9 in its array of lenses. Unlike the Vivo X100 ultra, Xiaomi is able to put 4 sensors on the 15 ultra instead of 3 which means we can see a middle portrait focal length next year. The focal length of the HP9 is also better than x100 ultra, which is at 4.3x instead of 3.7x.
But all these are just specs. The result matters more.
Thank you for watching my friend 🔥✨🌌 Leica Dragon is ❤️🔥 with Leica Authentic colors. Loved 14 Ultra
Brother like honestly you are what I was searching for all along where have you been all these years oh my goodness i m just watching full movie for my high value money 😅 still i have just started but i just want your opinion. Which one is best according to you just your words and i m going for it my perfence is fantastic photography and long battery life
Thank you my friend. Unfortunately there is no all in one solution right now, x100 Ultra has good battery life, but not mind blowing, xiaomi 14 Ultra has nice photo/video, but battery life is not great. Honor Magic - very cool solid device, but it needs gCam modes and third party apps for video to give nice performance, but battery life is strong. Oppo is very cool, but ColorOs has some limitations. So for Photography i think Vivo x100 Ultra and Xiaomi 14 Ultra on global are nice phones. I have full in depth battle about all this
1. Game of Phones th-cam.com/video/1JqYFbSYen0/w-d-xo.html Vivo vs Xiaomi vs Oppo

Thank you for those detailed comparisons! In the video tests, in my opinion, you should try at least iphone 14 pro max, because from that generation, the main sensor is much bigger (1/1.28 inch vs 1/1.65 inch in iphone 13 pro), the IBIS got upgraded to second generation too, and it has Action mode for all cameras, even for the telephoto. That Action mode (when it's bright enough), for me, still gives the most stable video in any smartphones, especially on the main camera and 5x telephoto. And the amount of crop needed for electronic stabilisation is also the smallest, which gives the widest stabilised ultrawide video ever.
It's true that in photo capturing, iphone 16 is not much different from iphone 13 (in some areas, I think it got even worse than iphone 11). However in video recording, it's a different story.
@@mtp4804 I want to release apple eco system videos, behind the scene I already tested iPhone 13 pro, iPad 12.9 m1 with pencil 2, apple watch 6, m1 max, m1 pro. I have all the video materials, and was able to sell everything except laptops, just need to find time for editing. Also will compare it vs Zephyrus 2024. Main point will be not a raw performance vs modern devices, but philosophy and user expirience. I needed to get used to apple products, to comment on it and make conclusions. May be will test 17 or 18 line up, who knows
should i get the x200 pro or the x100 pro, x100 ultra is out of the equation for me since it's not global and lack some essential features for my use case..?
Hello my friend. I think that only you have an answer for this question. I just help revealing the details and show what it can and cant do.
Use pencil and paper, write down what is really important for you and make discussions by it. For some people even iPhone or samsung can be better choice if they find some features very important for them.
Please do more comparison of x100 ultra with new ones like x8 pro, mate 70 pro, magic 7 pro and so on🙏😁
Do you think I should wait for x200 ultra or buy x100 ultra today? I like that it has 35mm main sensor focal lenght but I dont want to regret trading 1 inch sensor for that... your opinion?
Please take my advice with a grain of salt. But if I was in this situation right now, I would wait to x200 Ultra, see comparisons online and than decide, I am sure Ultra x100 will be cheaper at that point. I will buy x200 Ultra for review, a final phone for this couple of years, and will slow down with phone reviews and will wait till something big happens.
wait for it because the 6000mah battery alone will worth it
Very nice. Do not understand your comment when you said that vivo X100 Ultra could worsen its photo performance with the upcoming Origin OS5. Thing is, I am waiting for the Origin OS5 to be available before buying the X100 Ultra.
Overall, the X100 Ultra is a truly advanced model (not just a clone) considering it is head and shoulders above the competition.
Yet another needed review is the OnePlus 12. While it's photo performance is not the best, its photo quality seems to be close to the "flagships" in this video and still offer some other dimensions that made One Plus 12 the top popular phone in 2024.
Thumbs up!
@@StarNumbers Some people report more aggressive computation and outlines on tele zooms. I enjoy what x100 ultra produces in terms of soft but very natural image with textures, depth and details, and I won't be comfortable updating, knowing that image may be more fake and artificial, like on x200 Pro. This is what I was referring to. Of course new OS5 features are nice, but I'd rather stay on OS4 but preserve everything like it is right now
@@AlienTechnologies33 true

For example , when we shoot photos or videos in the low light with the scene of street light is white but in my view finder on phone, it shows blue-ish cool tone. That is what I don't satisfy to see. Thanks for asking me ♥️🙏🏼
Is just the Huawei that have a desktop mode when linked to a monitor or any other of them have something like Dex or Huawei desktop?
I wish all phones have something similar to Dex, but actually better. I tried to use Dex on my Galaxy Tab S4, but it did not worked out, it could not replace a small laptop for me. The biggest problem was that i could not drag and drop files that easy like on traditional computer, for example when sending stuff via whatsapp
@@AlienTechnologies33 Well the battery life of my Huawei Mate 20 pro (old phone) is not the best right now. When i get my new phone i will use it with the case glued to a portable toutch monitor with a power bank and baaam... i have a new tablet/computer.
I want to buy a Vivo phone. What do you recommend, Ultra or Pro?
It depends on what you want from a phone. I had 2 devices in front of me and could choose any. But i disliked x200 Pro and loved Ultra
1:20:34 interesting comparison, it was to be expected that a PRO is not the same as the ULTRA and I am referring to the VIVO. I have my Huawei Pura 70 Ultra and I have gone to claim that it is defective because when taking pictures in PRO mode they come out blurry, a lot of noise and litmus. I told them that before I had the P60 Pro and took spectacular photos. Since May I have not had an answer from Huawei Mexico .... I bought a new model expecting to have better photos and the result was not so. Watching your VIDEO I see the photo NITIDA, no NOISE, I still insist that my Huawei Pura 70 Ultra has a defect in PROFESSIONAL mode. I wish you could share with me an "astrophoto" photo so I can go to Huawei and tell them that my device has a defect. Greetings and excellent comparison.

What happened to the Xiaomi 14 Ultra? Why is it not included?
I sold it, nothing to learn anymore. Very nice device that fights on the same level as Vivo Ultra and Oppo Ultra. Huawei and Honor are not there in terms of Photo, audio is better on Honor like no joke. In wait mode until 15 Ultra will come out. I am not full time smartphone reviewer. I am reviewing devices that i look for myself or can potentially buy myself
Next Year i think i will look at Vivo x200 Ultra, Oppo Find x8 Ultra and Xiaomi 15 Ultra. Other devices need to impress me very much to even consider looking.
@@AlienTechnologies33 Thank you so much! Can't wait then I suppose.
@@AlienTechnologies33 If I may ask what device made it into becoming your daily driver?
Right now Vivo x100 Ultra, that's why it is still in the battles. The biggest downsides with it - inability to use all smartwatches on Wear OS (because of smartwatch manufacturers) and some ai features and assistant is on Chinese. But I love Galaxy watch 4 classic and it is compatible, also I am using third party assistant, so no problems for me here. Other than that I see no huge problems and dealbreakers.
All my respect for this guy from mexico 🇲🇽
Greetings Mexico ✨
Ultra is the clear winner so wrong decision to remove the 1inch sensor hopefully they recover in the x200 ultra
Totally agree 🛸
Great Work.Nice to see the truth.that's why i love smal Underdog channels.They are Independent and not involved in companys.On other pretty big Channels,they made the x100Ultra look "bad" by purpose i think because of Promotion for the x200pro.
I think Origin OS5 is what makes the Ultra's camera bad. Looks like they made the Ultra worse to make the new Pro look better.
@@rdmz135but the Ultra Cameras are better like x200pro🤔
You've to try Mate 70 pro, nice video
very good comparison, subscribed! Absolutely detailed comparision what i was looking for. Now i wont buy the vivo x200 pro its all hype and they ended the excitement by downgrading the sensor size. Now my eyes on xiaomi 15 ultra i hope they keep the 1 inch sensor unlike vivo otherwise its all done
Xiaomi 14 Ultra was nice, had some flaws, but very competitive. Loved Leica authentic moody images
Are you using 25 mp mode(Enhance images) this is in auto mode and details are better than in normal but take longer to process
Yes my friend, i turned 25mp from the start, right after unboxing
I have purchased the x100 ultra, received yesterday! I would like to ask what is the best overall settings for camera for Sharpness Contrast Brightness Saturation ? Currently I have put minimum Sharpness
Currently 1hr into the video, the best phone reviewer 👌🏼👌🏼
Hello my friend. It depends on my mood. Sometimes i like to shoot Vivid with all default, sometimes Textured with Brightness slightly up, Sharpness slightly down, and Saturation slightly down. Sometimes Zeiss Natural with slightly up contrast and slightly down saturation. Also sometimes i turn off HDR when there is not much dynamic range. And sometimes i turn on Face Retouching inside Portrait mode for maximum ANIME ✨
@AlienTechnologies33 thank you for your help, do you have one or two best settings for taking photos of people indoors and keeping maximum detail? It feels like if there is light behind the person it makes the person look like they were photoshopped in front :(
nice content, useful and unique video
These companies always ruins the cameras when the new model releases. Same will happen to x100 ultra. I am really confused now 😢. I just want good details and zoom. Now i am thinking to get a camera but that is difficult to carry everywhere like phone. Is there any camera which performs this top level with details and zoom and pocket sized. I am not a photography guy but still....😅. Currently i have s23 and its camera also degraded after the updates. 😢
@AlienTechnologies33 do you have any suggestion for a camera which performs better than phone camera and can carry in pocket?
Impressive review. Good thing I haven’t bought x200 pro yet.
Thank you my friend! 🛸
is putting it all in panorama mode a x200 pro thing or is x100 ultra with os5 the same way?
if I correctly understand your question. X200 Pro has panorama inside "Landscape mode" and it is combined with "Night Panorama", on OS4 it has separate dedicated Normal and Night Panorama modes
@@AlienTechnologies33 sorry I meant landscape mode. So a x100 ultra updated to os5 also has the landscape mode instead of separate modes?
@@svenmuchow-tiktokads think yes, but to tell the truth I do not want to risk losing current state of camera app
просто лучший, твои сравнения всегда очень объективны
Благодарю за тёплые слова друже 🕯️☄️✨🌌
thank you, let continue to this work
☯️🕯️☄️✨🌌
Why not compare it with Huawei Mate 70 series?
Not very interested in them at the moment, may be in the future. If I buy Huawei car, it will be completely different story
Was Huawei with harmonyos os or emui , because harmonyos is received a lot camera updates and better than emui,idk why they always improve harmonyos not emui
EMUI
@AlienTechnologies33 because of that those zoom photos was awful, i have a Huawei p60 with emui , i compared it with harmony version and differences was significant
There is new update for x200 pro camera, can you make short video showing difference?
Nothing new, i checked before and after before updating, nothing to comment on it to tell the truth
@AlienTechnologies33 what a shame
Hey Alien, i have a special usecase.
I need the best videocamera smartphone for nightvideos/lowlight conditions.
I will be Filming product videos with Gimbal of Bicycle lights in motion on Bikes.
I thought of the Sony Xperia 1 Vi, but got a recommendation from a photographer friend to switch to xiaomi 14 ultra.
Now am unsure watching your videos. I don´t have a photographer background but i can learn it. If it makes a difference at choosing.
Please let me know your thoughts what´s the best for this particular usecase. Price doesn´t matter. Best, André
@@CaramellsutraA For videos, I think Xiaomi, x200 Pro. Both can work. x100 Ultra have dedicated night video, but better to use gimbal, and gimbal need to be stronger, to balance camera bumps. Soon Xiaomi 15 Ultra will be released. But have you ever considered DJI Osmo Pocket 3? It has "low light" mode with relatively clean image and high iso.
Sony Xperia has some problems and low light looks really trash.
Here is more examples, it has timestamps, you can skip photo and go strait to video part. It has even DJI vs Phones examples

@@AlienTechnologies33 Hey Alien, thats a fast and detailed response. Wow, thanks for that.
Reason for smarphone is, i always have it with me. So shooting becomes natural, not something i have to plan up front.
For work: The Gimbal i would use is the Hohem iSteady M6. It has 400 Grams capacity, though saw a reviewer tested it up to 600 grams as well. So no limitation here.
Okay, i got your point. Yea the 15 ultra would be great, but it seems to be released in march 25´ earliest for the european market. Could be the best choice for who can wait, i guess.
Night mode on x100 Ultra, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and X200 Pro has this too, right?
Night mode sounds great, but is it actually just automatic with ISO increased or is there more to it which makes it a strong recommendation for night videography for filming bicycle-lights.
Will check out your mentioned videos soon :)
1" sensor really made a lot of difference.. unfortunately X200 Pro is the only available unit in my country. Comparison is good, already known some of x200 Vivo weaknesses and limitation the global only received 1 update at present. Overall x200 Pro excellent in its own as it can still compete with the ultra/ultimate line up.
*Palpatin voice*: "DO IT!!!"
@AlienTechnologies33 Haha...Already have the x200 Pro. Hope they update the selfie, with the auto focus. Cause of this vid had to practice with my x200 pro
@DuotoneXIII I think it is hardware level limitation on selfie and can not be fixed via firmware. There are no motors and magnets inside it, just fixed glass.
But if you find a sweet spot for arm length, face will be in focus 🛰️
@@AlienTechnologies33 I see... Not really much of an issue for me Vivo still take excellent selfies, due to the auto focus limitation I set a timer for photos. Steady face and dolby vision on video is very handy on certain scenarios.
Very nice and extremely detailed comparison video, Love it!
It seems the Vivo x100 Ultra still outshines in photo's! But the x200 Pro definitely seems to have had a nice upgrade in Video quality.
The amount of details that remain in the low-light video and the vry well Dynamic Range on the x200 Pro, where they are washed out in the Noise reduction, and blown-out on the x100 Ultra, ..it really is a testify that despite the smaller sensor, the new Sony sensor does perform remarkably well for video in low-light!
On the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in Pro/Manual mode, (with stabilization off), the ISO on the main camera can go as high as 32.000..! (Which helped a lot in shooting video from the Northern Lights with the phone)
....I was wondering, how high you can go with the ISO on the x100 Ultra and x200 Pro in Pro/Manual mode...?
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography Yes, new algorithms are very good in uncontrolled everything on auto, but unfortunately in controlled manual mode I find results on x200 Pro unusable, noise is impossible to fix even with noise reduction. Even during the day if you pay attention on sky and water, x200 Pro has very visible noise patterns, especially Luma noise which is hard to fix.
For example i like to set Ultra on Log or sLog3 in third party app on tripod, but I cant do it on x200 Pro. Not like it is impossible, but i am not comfortable of doing it. Sometimes I film unboxing or second angles with x100 Ultra and image is very clean.
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography Yes, Log on x200 pro is in Pro and basic video modes, in all 3 lenses and in 60 fps instead of 30 only. Not like 8 gen 3 cant do it, but I guess it is reserved for future phones.
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography I will may be make some more log tests and update on it.
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography I wish camera api was fully functional, because third party app with its log curves and gamuts is way better than this vivo log, the lut they provide make an image look green and strange, I worked hard to make it look this way, it is my custom color grading, not what vivo gives from Lut
@@RaymondKPhotoVideography But i really glad to see smartphones moving this way. I think Vivo has the best Pro mode. Waveforms, zebras, focus peaking, audio monitor, computational Log, love it. Not a gimmicky rudiment with face make up and blur, but handy serious tool. Only wish burn in custom luts, full 32 bit audio support and false color
Will the X200 Ultra come as a Global Version???
Not sure, I hope, but I am okay with China version. Lame that cant use Blue Copilot, Jovi assistant, Vivo circle to search, because it is on chinese, but other than that have no problems.
Extremely unlikely
Thanks

Спасибо за огромную работу! Тут есть о чем подумать. Лайк.
Спасибо тебе друже! 🦾
Im in USA id buy the x100 ultra if they would of done a global version
@@Razzlesnaps It will be nice. But I heard that Origin OS is better than FunTouch OS, but cant confirm it, because have not used yet.
and wwhat's the problem using the cn version? they are only few downsides
@@adyady3099 what are the downsides? Some people won't buy Chinese versions I heard it has something to do with what networks won't work I still need to make calls and text.
@@Razzlesnaps It depends on antenna bands, 7 and 20 band most of the time. Different country military, government, Illuminati, reptilians organizations use different reserved frequencies for communications. For example Oppo x7 ultra, vivo x100 ultra has all bands for network, so no problems
@@Razzlesnaps is not the case for x200 pro or x100 ultra, some chinese versions miss band20 but not these ones, oppi find x8 pro has band20 as well
Of course the ultra is better than the pro. It must be taken into consideration that mediatek is lagging behind Snapdragon regarding the isp
Thank you for the colossal work.
Thank you my friend. I was bombarded by a comments, about how x200 Pro crushes x100 Ultra in every way, and how wrong i am
Since the color comparison of all the devices, vivo x100 ultra with 1inch type sensor, has the best quality photo overall, at least at that 2x zoom or 46mm… its incredible and I feel happy that I didn’t buy the Huawei pura 70 ultra haha
@@Daphne2342 Agree, something is very off with colors on this device. Some people say that Harmoy OS is way better than EMUI version, but I press "X" for doubt, because I can understand small difference, but not like that much. My wife has slightly yellow skin and tan because of the sun, and time of the day shined a warm light at face, so there is a reason why colors are that way. I do not think that its possible to get 1 to 1 accurate Medium Format or full frame gradients on 1 inch walkie talkie, but I find results on Vivo, Oppo, Xiaomi very close to reality, but unfortunately on Huawei is something way off
And flares only on x200 pro. I won't be buying it. No way
51:05 i updated x100 ultra to origin 5 and... Nothing changed!😉
Я бы после таких обзоров обновлялся только после автора и его видео посвященного этому обновлению.
Do you have before/after pictures/videos? Very curious to know if there is any truth to the rumors
which is better origin or Funtouch for vivo phones
Your preseentation 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

1:26:07 именно сравнение в RAW поставило точку в этом вопросе 😮
Is x200 pro worth it , what about oppo find x8pro

I do not have x8 Pro, but may be x7 Ultra videos can help
Я запутался - сравнение то x100 ultra то с x100 pro. Материал как всегда классный! Но по теме - не надо сравнивать ultra с про, это разные серии. Вот если было правильно как раз с сотой прошкой с равнить - есть как и улучения так и даунгрейт.
Много запросов было, как именно прошлогодняя Ultra будет в сравнении с Pro, так как по цене на бу рынке можно купить ультру по цене Про или даже дешевле. Так же очень много комментариев на прошлые видео было что x200 Pro "уделывает" ультру и теперь лучший камерофон по всем аспектам, я устал с ними вступать в спор и расставил всё на свои места, чтобы было наглядно где улучшения, а где нужно подумать.
Спасибо за просмотр 🕯️🔥🌌
Это вам спасибо за такую работу!
Finally!
⭐️💫✨🌌
sad, upcoming x200ultra also use this small sensor for main cam
want a comparison with magic 7 pro
Hello my friend. I am not sure that i will buy it this year
