Vivo X100 Pro vs X90 Pro: Worthy of a One-Year Upgrade?

TEAM SGG PATREON / somegadgetguy X100 Pro! It's time for a showdown! The X100 Pro TECHNICALLY launched in 2023, but it's already shaping up to be one of the best phones of 2024! I did not have the same feels about the X90 Pro at this time last year. This might be the closest I've come to awarding a one-year upgrade for a 2024 phone...

Just upgraded from my X80 Pro to the X100 Pro last week. The 3 real gripes I had with the X80 Pro, which were the mediocre battery, relatively weak telephoto cameras (especially in mid to low light) and the video recording (not being able to record 4k with either of the telephoto lenses). The X100 Pro fixed all of that, so it was a simple decision for me (I will miss the ultrasonic fingerprint scanner though). Plus, Vivo Malaysia was running a trade-in deal and I got a 40% return of the full price!

Trade-in is also for X100 Pro model? I thought it is only for X100 base model. How much in RM did you get for your X80 Pro?

Just a quick question does Vivo X100 Pro still supports tripod detection in " Night Mode "? I can't find answers to that in any review of the phone, it seems like the that small tripod icon what previous models had is missing there. - I would love to know that, it's a bit game breaking feature for me.

Sticking to my recently purchased X90 Pro as I use auto mode anyway and prefer the vegan leather back and even that cheesy steel strip :) one question Juan which I hope you can help with for the future: does the X100 Pro have the same built in hi res DAC to be used with an analogue dongle? Device specifications website shows the CS43131 in the X90 Pro but no mention on the X100 Pro. That can be checked by entering the Hifi mode in the settings menu and checking the specs. Thx

[@feistyfoxsecurity]

I have bought and used about 13 of the best, highest rated camera phones over the past 2 years and when I analyze the photos that I had "favourited" the largest percentage was the X90 pro (closely followed by the Honor Magic 5" .. so naturally, the X100 Pro was high on the wanted list. And it has not disappointed. I take some wonderful photos with it, it has replaced my Huawei P60 as a daily carry and it has been a worthy replacement. Updates, camera, audio and cellular coverage are excellent and of course, no issues with Google services. Highly recommend the X100 Pro.

[@TheWertiup]

How does the P60 Pro compare to the Magic 5 Pro in terms of camera? I sold my Mate 50 Pro (mainly due to the lack of GMS) and replaced it with Magic 5 Pro. While the camera is good, I still much preferred the photos that came out of the Mate 50 Pro.

[@DavekayBSC]

I'm really interested in this phone to potentially replace my aging LG V60. I was looking at the Honor Magic 5 Pro as I wasn't hugely impressed by the X90 Pro, and I'm not interested in importing a phone with a Chinese domestic market ROM on it. Honor M5P seemed to be the best all-rounder of last gen (Oppo being out of contention with no global model) but this phone just smacks it out of the way. Seems like it will smack the upcoming Magic 6 Pro out of the way as well, as while I think Honor's 1/1.3" sensor is very competitive with the 1" sensors used by Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, and the 1/1.5" telephoto sensor they are using in M6P is much bigger and (theoretically) much higher res than X100P at 180MP, the actual lens attached to it is only 2.5X optical zoom. So that begs the same question, would you even want to use that over just cropping in 2.5X from the main sensor on M6P? That, and the zoom shots I'm seeing in other reviews from the X100 Pro at 100mm+ are pretty astonishing. Not just a bit better than iPhone or Pixel, it's annihilating them. It seems like it can compete with telephoto lenses on dedicated cameras, which is crazy for a phone to be able to do. Samsung for me isn't even a contender. I got an S21 Ultra last year to play with to see if it could take better shots than the V60. It couldn't. Samsung's photo processing is *HORRIBLE*. I don't understand how anyone likes the shots that Samsung phones take. In 12MP JPEG mode, it's like they pushed the internal sharpening slider to 100%, smashed past the end of the slider, and then kept going to 500%. I took some product shots with it, was horrified at how massively over-sharpened the photos were with edge artifacts galore, and returned it after two days. There's no way to turn that crap off, it's just how it is. I guess it's for people who don't know anything about photography, and think "max sharpening is clearer" and don't see the white edge artifact halos it leaves around everything, and don't know or care that it looks like crunchy, hyper-sharpened crap. S22 and S23U aren't any better. They're all like that. Unless Xiaomi pulls a real rabbit out of their hat with the 14 Ultra (14P does not seem as good as X100P) it seems like Vivo is the one to beat this year, at least globally, with Find X7 Ultra being perhaps the only phone that can match it blow for blow.

[@TheWertiup]

Just upgraded from the M5P to X100 Pro, and I would say that the cameras on the Vivo is better than on the Honor for most things. Almost every aspect of the camera is better. Only things that I think M5P does better are: 1. Detail sharpening to noise reduction trade-off on the main camera is very slightly better (although it does sometimes produce oversharpening artifacts) 2. Shooting in medium indoor artificial lighting does sometimes wash out the colors of the X100P (could be due to Vivo preferring to overexpose images to get more details in the shadows) 3. Long range zooms on X100P while looks clearer at a glance, they are heavily processed. M5P while looks softer, it is more realistic. 4. You can shoot videos in log and HDR10+ on M5P while you cannot on the X100P (on the native camera apps) Other than that I think everything else is better on X100P. Video stability, night mode, ultrawide, telephoto, macro, portraits, RAW is better on X100P. (You can only shoot RAW with the main camera on M5P, while you can shoot with all lenses on the X100P and also has SRAW)

Normal use is kind of a useless metric, because my "normal" will look NOTHING like your normal. Just sitting in my pocket, on 5G, streaming audio to some headphones, and keeping up with the ludicrous number of alerts and notifications I get, the phone runs substantially cooler than an 8G1 or Tensor 3. I believe the claim of "bigger cores get job done faster, and return to sleep" from mediatek is accurate. If that's primarily how you use a phone though, it makes more sense to buy a mid-ranger.

[@TerribleGamersTrio]

Currently driving the X90PP, the X100 isn't enough of an improvement for me to upgrade, losing the ultrasonic fingerprint sensor (which is massive on the x90pp) is a downgrade to me anyway. I don't think the picture quality, although clearly a minor improvement on the X100, is enough to make me upgrade. The only thing currently swaying me is the Oppo X7U and Vivo X100PP (depending on reviews from yourself and bens gadget reviews). If rumours are true on the 10x optical 200mp sensor, and assuming there is 3x optical, or similar, to fill that gap between 3x and 10x, so quality isn't dreadful within that delta then potentially X100PP will get me to upgrade. X90P to X100P is a good upgrade though and should definitely be considered, because the picture quality improvement and the camera setup actually makes sense now. Ignoring 2x optical and go to 3/4x so they can squeeze performance from the main sensor for 1x-4x shots and use the telephoto for 4x and above. Actually seemed to be planned rather than chucked together to get a longer spec sheet.

Can you tell me quick.. Is x100 equals to x90pro.. I am buying tomorrow which is better at same cost? Urgent

[@AlexandreG]

Is there a difference in overnight/idle battery drain?

[@TheMchef]

I have a Vivo X80 pro and I was amazed by the iPhone 15 10bit ProRes and the free Blackmagic app. I don't want to get an iPhone and I was curious what the x100 will bring but I haven't been able to find details on the RAW video format. Is it 10bit, how far can you push the colors, etc. Have you tried it out?

I still think Vivo has the best camera among BBK brands. Even ahead of Oppo.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

After using the Find X6 Pro, it's a close fight, but i prefer the Vivo style, and the low light performance is insane.

[@ShibiChan]

Never used a Vivo before but have always heard great things. I've been using Xperia for the past 4ish years and am just feeling pretty jaded with the way their devices and decisions are going. My X100 pro comes in a couple days, and hopefully it lives up to the hype and gets me feeling passionate again about phones!

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Congrats on the new phone! I LOVE Sony gear, but if you were looking to shake things up, the Vivo is a REALLY fun way to do that. It's a significantly different vibe, and that takes a bit to familiarize yourself with how it works, but there's no denying these results. Vivo came out SWINGING this year.

[@bam_bad]

i'll stick with x90pro+ for time being 😁

[@Kenshin1870]

Can't wait for the pro plus version, global or no global i am gonna buy it for the cameras. S24 will be the joke

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

Samsung has a TOUGH year ahead of them. The only standout feature they can claim is Dex, and Samsung doesn't promote that at all.

[@RustyWells2]

Don't count Samsung out there's very few companies that has the resources and influence as they do.

[@SomeGadgetGuy]

I hope they can be more competitive, but all I'm seeing in rumors right now are higher prices than competing phones, iterative design and features, reduced RAM (which AI really needs to do LLM and Gen AI on device) and a return to the mediocre exynos internationally. I don't think this is going to be a great year for Samsung.

[@TheABTIMAN]

s24U user here, its a joke. i cant wait for the X100 Pro+ to come out

[@Karllooo]

Really hoping this gets released in the UK soon😅🤞! Getting so limited with phones here its unreal. Samsung/apple or Google is all we're getting really!

[@TedThomasTT]

I'm not gonna pay UK prices when you can import the Vivo for 650

[@Karllooo]

@@TedThomasTT I don't want the Chinese rom version, as it isn't compatible with the likes of android auto. Which is a need for me as I use it daily 🤞.

[@robinjaula2469]
