vivo X100 Ultra review Comments

Best camera phone ever. It`s like the phone has been tailored specifically for me. I was waiting for a phone that could capture excellent low light photos and videos. And I don`t agree that the Pro photos are comparable. If you zoom in fully, you`ll see the tiny details are like pastel painting unlike the photos from the Ultra

Anonymous, 02 Jul 2024So what's next in x200 ultra? Higher focal length for periscope? Zoom camera in between m... moreI have nothing against a great portrait camera, but I think it would be quite interesting to see whether a 170mm 50 megapixel Quad Bayer or Bayer camera with the same effective lens diameter would perform better at 340mm than the 85mm 200 megapixel Tetra²pixel Quad Pixel autofocus camera.

There are no hotspots from flood lights lighting up the building (actually there is only two at the very left of the building because scene recognition couldn't recognize them as hotspots so it didn't fill them in with surrounding color). There is no light spillage, light cut off ends up abruptly like it's shooting from a lens and not from a reflector. And the most obvious thing is crazy HDR tone mapping that made the building look orange and purple. That doesn't make any sense. Image is fake af.
As a matter of fact its the worst image rendition of the same subject when compared to rest of the flagships S23 Ultra, 13 Ultra, X7 Pro, OP12, P8 Pro, iPhone 15, X100 Pro and 1VI. Check it out yourself. OK, maybe some other modes will end up with different and better image but this default mode is nonsense.

Anonymous, 03 Jul 2024If all those complainers started to buy Sony phones exclusively instead of other brands, then ... morethe ones who complain are the ones who won't buy Sony because "it's too different" and want a Samsung or Apple most likely. Brainless people tbh

I like how coincidentally or not, all the top tier Chinese camera phone have a circular island.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you've got reading comprehension skills as well.
Reread my comment again - Zeiss Natural and Zeiss Texture modes produce more neutral-looking (albeit possibly less eye-pleasing to most people) colours and details. You can literally see the difference in the daylight samples GSMArena provided in this review, and all I suggested was that you have a few options to choose from if the default processing style isn't what you're chasing after. This shouldn't be that hard to understand lol.
"X100 Pro overprocessed nighttime image looks tons better than X100 Ultra"
No, X100 Ultra simply retains more details in its photos. They both have an equally prominent "processed" look in the default Zeiss Vibrant mode, but X100 Pro is showing a slightly more pronounced oilpainting effect within the finest details.

Anonymous, 02 Jul 2024Ultra has QHD panel, gonna push gpu more than Pro. This generates no heat. Hotter surface... moreYou may have a point since I didn't notice this phone has a QHD+ screen. After all, I compared the result with iQOO 12 since it also uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and the iQOO shows a much more promising result.

Proud owner of vivox100 pro and Tbh havnt found any alternatives till date. .The phone is beast and still the camera king 👑 at the price they are offering. .Vivo(a-team behind camera) has done an execllent job in terms of camera and hardware. . Just compare the telephoto and night shots with other pioneers u will be in love with Vivo.

Nick Tegrataker, 02 Jul 2024Vivo's auto mode likes to bump up the exposure at night compared to Xiaomi's or Oppo... morePretty sure you got eyes and you can see the monstrosity of the nighttime sample image this phone outputted. If you want to justify it yourself that "Zeiss" brand licensing on some post process chain is actually something scientific and accurate that's your heart believe then.
X100 Ultra is post process turned to 11 compared to X100 Pro. Looking images side by side even X100 Pro overprocessed nighttime image looks tons better than X100 Ultra

It's not Nokia 808 PureView like... moreI have S23U and while there was progress in the processing, there were no updates to it in like last couple of months, and for me, it is still far from being decent. ExpertRAW on 23 series is still bad and produces most of the time too HDRish images for my taste and ruines small details. The Stock camera app often produces halos and strange sky artifacts. I mean it is much better than it was when this phone was released, but I am not happy about how it looks. I still think that GCAM is a must.

In my opinion, Nokia 808 PureView had the best processing (but it is outdated because it can't handle the dynamic range), followed by Lumia 950, which had Sony Alpha camera like processing.

Every EURO 2024 match in Germany has Vivo X100 adverts on the field, how is it only for China? I see X100s, X100 Pro and Ultra so there is no X100 model at all and they must mean Ultra as well on the ad?

It's all about the software like HDR, color/white balance, sharpness and especially stabilization. The Vivo is indeed better at noise control and light gathering in moderately difficult conditions. Dunno about harsh conditions.
