Vivo X200 Pro vs X100 Ultra Camera Shootout In Tokyo

[@salemmata]

Ben is one of the most important smartphone tech KZbinr!!!!!

[@leiya107]

For real, especially when you want to know about the latest and greatest that the mainstream US YTbers ignore / can't have access to!

[@JuanAuribus]

Nice shots! x100 Pro has already replaced my rx100 in most situations, this new gen of chinese smartphones is insanely good.

[@amitbikram9031]

dont you feel like images feel fake on smartphone cameras

[@JuanAuribus]

@@amitbikram9031 I enjoy the Zeiss color mode on the x100 pro. The ai fill along with the hardware are just different variables to account for. This phone is a very powerful tool however even compared to technically superior lenses and sensor hardware, as I've come to appreciate the flexibility and image quality I'm able to achieve without needing to correct things in light room. I use professional cameras regularly and they are definitely superior hardware, but the sheer flexibility of sharpness, zoom, dynamic range, and video performance out of a smartphone with no editing required is a game changer.

[@pspr33]

​@@amitbikram9031Depends how you're defining 'fake' I guess.

[@pspr33]

Really interesting to hear this. I'd actually love a side by side comparison between those 2!

[@kaiserfakinaway5909]

@@amitbikram9031 RAW mode is available if one wants editing capabilities and if one desires SDR shots like on Digital cameras, then Pro mode likely will have you covered and you can also disable HDR in settings. So basically you can get close to RX100 level shots if you want to but also an artificial "perfect" shot. Besides, Chinese brands have perfected the balance, they all take great camera-esque shots whilst having good hdr and stuff. Samsung, Google and Apple take super duper fake shots.

[@madmann6723]

While here in the US we don't have access to a lot of the devices Ben reviews, it's cool to see what other OEMs are doing globally and what feature sets may make their way to us. He's super comprehensive and let's us know what's good and what's garbage. As an American subscriber I really appreciate that. 👍

[@thundergato84]

[@frenchfries8745]

I watched GSMArena and checked the photos myself. X100 ultra still pulling ahead the photos has much more fine details. And details itself more refined specially in low light situations. Love your videos

[@govardhanposina17]

Tbf their review of the X200 pro was prior to major updates and I'm guessing is why they haven't made a YT video on it

[@passby8070]

I also did a side to side comparison. I think the X200 pro renders photos with better contrast and punchier colors. The night mode is also more realistic without being overly hdr. as to details, I think it's a toss up.

[@grahammccann]

Sorry Ben. I'm not buying smaller is better. 20nm means the sensor can be packaged smaller/cheaper, not that it gets more light. Another commenter has suggested the LYT-900 packs 22nm technology. Is this true? If so, it kind of negates most of the reasons you provide for the "improvements". I think Vivo marketing department may have won this battle... Smaller main camera sensor Downgraded screen (lower resolution) No IR Blaster Battery 9% higher capacity but SD Elite thirstier. Love your channel but this review gives me concern about objectivity. Keep up the good work.

[@RB-mm7ce]

[@wasiahmed1547]

I really agree with you! The old vivo phones front design was awful. Thanks vivo that they hear your words. This time x200 pro looks way better than x100 ultra from the front side for the quad curved design. And please inform vivo to use matte glasses to its whole series. X200 pro mini would look better if the glass back is matte textured.

[@melvinspencer7770]

Interesting comparison between Vivo X200 Pro and Vivo X100 Ultra. Btw, Vivo is one of best brand smartphone with beautiful design camera with Zeiss collaboration make this brand so strong, better good photography and performance.

[@Nikgreat]

I've been waiting for a video like this. I was really confused on which one to get. Thanks, Ben, for clarifying on the upgrades of the newer model. I'm going to get the X200 Pro as soon as it launches globally. I am sick of my Pixel capturing the noise filled shots in the night and boy have they messed up the portraits.

[@mohamedbasiony8328]

My friend, I want to watch a review of the Xiaomi 15 Pro cameras against the iPhone 16 Pro Max against the Vivo 200 Pro

[@Bby_innocent_girl]

X 200 pro better

[@Temmple]

Excited to see your Vivo X200 Pro vs Oppo Find X8 Pro review! These both seem very close from what I have seen so far.

[@andyH_England]

VIVO rushed to adopt one-inch sensors just as quickly as they sought to boost sales, but this strategy led to their peak performance without any subsequent upgrade potential. I understand they were desperate due to declining sales-dropping from $131 million in 2021 to $88 million in 2023. However, early figures from 2024 indicate that having the best cameras isn’t significantly impacting their sales, a lesson Apple could have shared with them years ago based on their own statistics. As a result, VIVO may be downgrading sensors and considering a slower upgrade cycle. Even Samsung has recognized this trend and is now implementing minimal yearly improvements. This approach makes sense since consumers typically upgrade their devices every four years. If a company peaks early with specifications, people tend to hold on to their old devices longer or choose cheaper, older models instead. So, if you have the X100 Pro or Ultra, there is no need to upgrade, as the cameras are as good, and the chips are more than enough for most.

[@winther5]

interesting take and I agree. When Vivo released the X90 pro+ (a phone I own and love), it seemed like they threw everything at it. Upgrades on the main camera has been less dramatic since, and now that they double down on sensor size - yes - I also think they take the strategy of slowing down progress. Shame, but I guess there is only so much you can do with the actual hardware for each release. Software optimisation will probably be the main focus

[@ymlccc]

Thanks Ben, I still bought the X100 Ulttra at the end because of the larger sensor. Yes, the camera tuning and software-related things may come to X100 ultra later. I believe the newer Sony 1" sensor with a better transistor will feature in X200 Ultra later on this year. Keep up the good work.

[@fourmidablecenturions2498]

The LYT900 is also built on a 22nm technology, that was the main difference between it and the previous imx989

[@tommyvalentinoo_]

Ben, which one better. Oppo x8 pro or vivo x200 pro?

[@davidbezzant9820]

Hi Ben, great comparison. Just want to point out as someone else did, the LYT-900 is built on 22nm tech not 40. Also, the new x200 pro has a faster apature (f1.57 vs f1.75) so this helps offset the bokeh and iso difference in night scenes. Overall i think vivo made good compromises, it would have been crazy to release a phone that outright bet the x100 ultra like 4 months after it was released 😅

[@darklord6062]

X200 pro rocked🎉 I want this asa it launch... And I like ur videos 🎉

[@MarsMoonVenus007]

Hi Ben, thanks for the fabulous review. But checked the sony website, the lyt900 is made on 22nm node instead of 40nm.

[@searklarak]

Hi Ben, thanks for your comparison. I just received Origin OS5/Android 15 beta (3.1GB in size) on my Vivo X100 Ultra today on the 7th of November and have noticed slightly improved video and photo quality since it must've received the optimizations it needed. It would be interesting to see how it gets on with these software improvements versus the X200 Pro too since the 1" sensor on the X100 Ultra is still a more heavyweight image sensor.

[@michalpopielas7020]

Really are there some changes in camera too?

[@AllanPhillips]

A very helpful comparison between the 2 phones - thanks!

[@gosukelee5]

I don't know why nobody talks about this but the X200 pro selfie camera is not good especially when compared to the x100 ultra. when the x100 pro came out the selfie camera also wasn't good but x100 ultra selfie was a massive improvement even being comparable to the best selfie camera ever till this day (S24 ultra) it needs to be pushed for vivo x200 ultra to either get the same sensor as S24 for selfie or the older x100 Ultra because there's too many phones with better selfie than x200 right now and I'm worried that if this isn't pushed we're gonna be stuck with an average selfie on the front. this phone literally has the best back cameras so it'll be a shame that the selfie ruins the "Best Camera Phone title"

[@bensgadgetreviews]

Sorry, I've never been a selfie person and this goes back years. I always don't really test the selfie camera. I am aware that's a flaw in my testing. But hey I never claimed to be the most scientific and thorough tester. I've always been a "street photography shooting interesting things in the world" type of tester.

[@lltechview]

Great analysis. Only held the X200 Pro for a couple of minutes but came almost to the same conclusion. The only thing I noticed is that the 2x crop of the main sensor seem to be weaker than on the X100 Ultra.

[@MT_Real_]

1 inch still is a 1 inch, you can't do 1,3 inch to be better

[@guillaumegabriel8232]

I am not Ben but I will share my point of view if you'll take it. Samsung's phones have been behind (camera wise) vivo for the last 2 gens I think (since the x90 pro vs S23U), so I believe it is unlikely that Samsung will outdo Vivo this time either

[@Getquora]

Don't wait for s25ultra. It won't be any close to x200 pro . I use S23ultra, and cameras are worse compared to vivo phones. I'm already planning to get x200 pro , I won't come back to samsung any time soon. Also, x200 pro is more than worth its price. You won't get such a beast for this price, and it destroys any phone until its ultra comes to the battle. You won't regret using vivo phones.

[@MT_Real_]

s25 ultra will be the same as s24 ultra, don't expect something new

[@neilmcguinness4422]

Best policy is to wait and see how the S25 Ultra performs in comparison to the Vivo. Don't be in a rush to commit financially to anything in life. Be sure before you buy. 👍

Find X7 Ultra is an extremely competent yet overlooked alternative imo, i love its style and its portraits are breathtaking as long as your skin tone isn't dark lmao

[@eemix]

Progress is always good for the consumers. Ben is always objective. He says the things as it is. Of course X200 pro should be better in some areas, otherwise there would be no point to be released. Specially in it's price range. As a Vivo X100 ultra owner, I would like to see less beautify in portraits, I want to see the face with all details bad or good. Then I can decide if there is a reason to turn on the beautify effect. 2nd I would like to see smooth zooming transitions during video. In other areas there is no much room for major improvements, at least not with the WOW factor.

Great comparison, again.👍 I'm absolutely in love with my X200 Pro. I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions, but I am very curious about these.

[@solas1183]

I think it's not really meant to be an upgrade as it's pro versus ultra. The main camera is without a doubt better on the Vivo x100 ultra in terms of details for photos anyway. It's just got superior hardware for the main camera. The zoom is probably slightly better on the X200 pro but it's also more heavily sharpened. Vivo have officially stated in China though that the x100 ultra periscope will be updated with the same algorithm as the x200 pro periscope sometime before the Chinese New Year

[@Janrap]

hi Ben, what is your favorite setting for photos, and by that I actually mean vivid or vintage modes?

[@ifossilch3882]

Read that they said the lens flare was a design flaw. Because the distance between the glass and the Len making light come in at a certain angle that cause it. When u find that angle it can be recreate every single time, it is more noticeable on video shooting when you are panning. Also the x200pro x2 zoom is worse than before while the super far zoom lens are better.

Hey there, random question. I have the s24 ultra and am thinking about going with the OnePlus 13. Have you had a chance to see the camera performance of the 13? My camera is pretty important to me but i am getting pretty frustrated with the lack of innovation from all the companies that sell to the North America. I am fairly certain Apple, Samsung and Google are fully aware they can slow roll technology to the North American consumers because they know most Americans don't even know about the far superior Chinese devices and the companies that provide the North Americans understand they're not under threat of losing much market share because the cell providers only offer Google Samsung and apple besides some of the smaller companies. It's fairly obvious that OnePlus oppo, xiaomi, honor have made generational leaps past Google Samsung and Apple and is someone that owns an IT company and deals with technology everyday inside the United States it is pretty frustrating to know that many of the American consumers are being taken advantage of.. if the cell providers inside the United States provided access to the Chinese phones the American people would be shocked to see how much more premium an innovative the devices are compared to what we're used to.

[@negativeplayer4446]

*???* I don't think sensors "process" anything other than delivering what it *'senses'*, let alone, produce real-time HDR feeds. I think the HDR-effect you see on the feed is caused by the newer, much more powerful SoC. Moving on, in the video-side, specifically, the night-time footage. They traded blows, tbh. The transitioning between lenses was slightly rougher on the X200's. It's UW also had more jitter and smudging, but the results from all cameras generally had more detail, especially in the shadows. The X100s periscope fell off though, with severe jitter and smudges. And in terms of still shots, the X200's were more pleasing, warmer, though more natural-looking. Fuller, tbh.
