@@kaiserfakinaway5909 It depends, that’s why I asked if they were in China. These aren’t global models, and use the Chinese OS. I have an X Note, and it’s great. It does have weird software issues though, mostly from using the phone in an area where it is not intended. So most software issues are probably from using it where Vivo didn’t intend it to be used.

4k 120fps are a welcome improvement. The rest seems like it needs some improvements still. Missing the day0 patch probably. Just like in games :/ High expectations that the X100 Ultra cannot really fullfill. Btw. the X100 Pro got a new update just a few days ago improving video stabilization. Bringing it on the same level as the Ultra.

Really didnt expect it to perform worse than X100 pro on some occasions. The gimbal video stabilization on 100 ultra is leaps ahead of anything right now. Just on another level. That omnivision telephoto sensor on the X100 pro is way better than the Samsung 200mp on the Ultra. I dont know if software polishing will make it better or even close.

[@malcolmjwilliams3521]

Funny enough the non portrait shots of the 14 ultra looked actually better than the vivo shots. I was initially wondering exactly why the exposure of the sign in the shots seemed over exposed compared to the vivo. And then came the portrait shots where for some unique reason xiaomi over exposed where as vivo increased the contrast look. Had you removed the watermark I would've thought the xiaomi was the vivo and vice versa because the vivo tends to brighten up images both out of camera and during the edit. The zoom shots were a surprise because xiaomi I think beat vivo at this stage because of the amount of detail and just how sharp and well colored the images were. Vivo had a bit of focus issues from my eyes which again given what vivo has shared on social media is a huge shock. Finally the video I prefer the xiaomi in a few conditions. And I think the vivo can improve a lot with iterative updates. I initially thought given the sharing on social media vivo would be the king but now it's really a toss up. You can't go wrong with xiaomi vivo or oppo in their respective ultra devices.

[@SamiLuo]

Thanks for your detailed analysis! It's interesting to hear your perspective on the differences in exposure and contrast between the Xiaomi and Vivo. I agree, the zoom shots from the Xiaomi were impressive in terms of detail and color. Hopefully, Vivo will address the focus issues in future updates. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

[@mc30052]

First reviews from Weibo shows a phone which is not superior to X100 pro. The "whaou" effect which we all get with the X100 pro is not here. In France, if you want to import, the begining price is 1150€ for the 256g version. The gap is insane with a X100 pro. I really don't understand this trend of people who believe this will be corrected with firmware updates. What would be the use of the company to release a phone and demo it with a firmware which is not ready for pictures, when they have, under hand, the skills with the X100 pro ? Unfortunately, the X100 Ultra is not THE device which we all expected and probably only a marketing move to boost sales.

[@markus4979]

You really believe they take the risk to miss the most important part of sales volume in the very begining of commercialisation? Undercover BS man, i have the X100 pro. So, in your beautiful world, huge companies like VIVO do not work properly on their labs and just release phone with bad firmware.

I think that, as always, there is a huge amount of hype and then you hit rock bottom. 200MP hasn't looked extremely good on any smartphone yet, everything that goes over 20x zoom is an oil painting on smartphones anyway and is then massively "improved" with AI, but is that still the actual photo if the AI ultimately decides on the end product and not the photographer?
