Vivo is hands down the best smartphone manufacturer in the world right now. Not only do their cameras perform even better than Samsung's or iPhone's, but the rest of the hardware and design are up there with what a flagship truly should be. Despite the sensors not being unique to Vivo, their partnership with Zeiss is reminiscent of what Nokia once had with them, but on steroids.
Just now I've sold my S23+ for a vivo X100 Pro (CN). I find OneUI a bit boring. Although Goodlock is neat I'm just fond to my previously owned iQOO Neo7 (CN).

Fax. Xiaomi started cooking with the Poco F1 yet everyone still chooses a Samsung. It doesn’t make any sense. Apple and Samsung are basically fighting against each other, while Chinese manufacturers could care less about conflict and are making the best of the best. If Xiaomi ever comes to the US, Samsung is done for. Only weak point is software support, if they improve that then it’s game over
You talk about the zoom, but don't show any 10x, 20x or higher zoom level? Whyyy? 3,7x zoom is sharp at nearly any flagship. We want to see how it looks at higher zoom levels!
Vivo X series are just outstanding and every year they're getting better and better unlike Samsung and iPhones. They want to do everything through software and AI. If Vivo starts giving the same level of software update cycle, they would outperform those Monopoly champions.
as someone with a china only vivo fold and using it here in the usa i can say you can definitely make them work outside of china just make sure the cellphone provider has the bandwiths the phone ssupports

Bring Vivo to the USA! It's part of the BBK corporation which also owns Oppo and Oneplus so I know that it could come to the US if BBK wanted to enter another brand of theirs into the US market. Vivo phones are amazing and they are one of the only brands that uses the Mediatek Dimensity 9300 flagship SOC in the X100 and X100 Pro.
I had a Xiaomi 14 Ultra before my x100 Ultra, I most prefer the Vivo and have sold the Xiaomi. The 1r Ultras camera was very impressive, a lovely authentic colour profile. The periscope lens of the Vivo won me over though, and it's performance in low light. I also really like Origin OS, for me, it feels smoother then the 14 ultra did. Also the Vivos battery lasts much longer in my uses.
The Vivo X100 Pro is still an excellent option plus available worldwide. If you want great photos and videos near an Ultra, but don't want Chinese bloat, the Pro is the way to go.
Actually, Vivo's is more advanced than Samsung's. The Vivo X90 Pro Plus Ultrasonic fingerprint scanner is double the size of Samsung's, in terms of screen area. Sadly, Vivo went back to a normal size ultrasonic scanner for the X100 Ultra. Hopefully, they bring back it the larger scanner in the X200 Ultra.
@dorianed72 I agree with this actually, vivo introduce the fingerprint sensor top mobile devices and I wish they kept the gimbal stability on cameras though
Qualcomm owns the ultrasonic patents and Samsung pays for using it. I expect VIVO does as well. Many others don't due to the cost, but I think Qualcomm has reduced the price and even Google may have them in the Pixel 9 Pro.
Hello, I have been using the device for 4 days. I couldn't find where to activate the 50 mp mode on the camera. Is there anyone who can help with this?
If you scroll along the camera modes until you see 'More' you should see the 'High resolution' mode in there. Using the bottom on the top right, you can add it to the camera modes at the bottom of the screen
When do we stop calling these humongous devices phones ? The camera bump (if we can call it like this) makes the phone as thick as some early 2000's phones
Its always lack in your review.. That's why I do not watch you.. You should include always the maximum zoom in video recording in 4k and 1080p.. Maximum zoom in photo.. Stabilization in zoom and ultrawide.. You made the videos fast.. I already unsubscribed you due to lack of details..
The ZEISS logo is as awful as it gets. They should have engraved it around the camera island, like in the Nokia days. And WTF is going on with the T* led? It looks like my ceramic hob, lol.
I don't see anything interesting about the X100U during the day, it has saturated colors and it has a strange HDR at night like blue sky and noise and the zoom lens too but looking at both I don't see any difference.

Ultrasonic fingerprint scanners need more attention from reviewers
