What do you think was the best overall? Note that both the Vivo X100 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra got brand new software updates just in time for this comparison. The Vivo and Honor are global versions, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is the Chinese variant.
Vivo X100 Pro is all the time the best. BTW: Vivo X100 Pro had 2 major updates (lately), which one of them contained update of Front Camera 4k/60fps (international/global version had that, because Chinese version had 4k/60fps already included in software).
Buen trabajo ! Gracias ! me quedo con el Honor , no esta lejos , y tiene mejor bateria , mejor precio , buena pantalla , el look del vivo no me gusta , el xiaomi es caro ! me gustaria que trajeras el Honor magic 6 Ultimate y el RSR , ya que e leido que traera el Omnivision OV50K de una pulgada y bateria de 5800 mha ese va a ser la bomba ! un abrazo !
For the skies, there's a toggle in Vivo camera app that goes "enhance night skies", turn that off to get black skies with no noise. ❤❤ Great comparison, as always. Love from India.
Great comparison (again)! I immediately see that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra does a better job with exposure this time, it is just about right. In your last video, it was overexposed all the time. My opinion in order of appearance: * stabilization of the front facing camera: Xiaomi, Honor (depite the jitter), Vivo * sound: Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo (if there is no wind) * wind noise: Vivo, Honor, Xiaomi (unacceptable) * lens flare: Xiaomi, Vivo, Honor * white balance (1:50): Vivo (warmer but doesn't like red colors), Xiaomi (blue-ish), Honor (blue) * chromatic abberation (3.2x/4.3/2.6 zoom): Vivo/Honor, Xiaomi (purple artefacts on the boat railing from 1:33) * overall detail: Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor * color science (subjective): Vivo (nice natural colors), Xiaomi (still nice), Honor (too saturated) * night mode: Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo (what happened to the sky at 11:10? but detailing of the restaurant is excellent) * sign picture (11:45): Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor Except for the wind noise, the Vivo and Xiaomi are really close. Sometimes I like the color science of the Vivo, and sometimes I like the detailing of the Xiaomi more. It is remarkable that the Honor has such a good camera for the price, just that oversaturation is a shame. All three of these phones are actually really good, the Vivo and Xiaomi being excellent. I think the Vivo X100 Pro wins overall because of (subjectively) nicer colors, but by a small margin. I cannot get the Vivo X100 Pro here in The Netherlands. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a good second best, if you get the exposure right.
You definitely can get the X100 Pro in the Netherlands / Europe. Not locally, but you can get it delivered from China. Even a global version, which is what I got
Great review as always, Chris! That Vivo x100 Pro is really leaning towards that Social Media quality that requires no more post processing before uploading. Straight up capture and upload. Regardless, all phones are bangers!
The raw mode is pretty good if you want to spend time editing, but yeah I appreciate not having to edit. Honestly this phone has so many shooting options no youtuber has time to cover them all.
I actually love all 3 of them. All of them are somehow good in different departments. I would argue that (despite the less natural color tones in some scenarios) the Honor would win a blind test because of it's more saturated, more pleasing for social media results. But tbh, I'm impressed by Vivo. Happy I already ordered the Honor, but my reasons are way beyond just the camera. Great review, keep it up.
As a Vivo X100Pro user I can confirm that the night time shots need the blue tone to be reduced post production. Other than that it takes some jaw-dropping pictures. Especially in portrait mode.
Personally I havent had such issues with focus. Infact I think it focuses faster compared to other high end phones due its laser autofocus@@Techtablets
@@Techtabletsin video no but since last update I noticed that sometimes it's struggling to get the focus right in macro mode. Other than that it's impressive.
There is a setting in magic 6 pro where you can switch mode between vibrant authentic and natural. I think the reason your photos all turn out over saturated is because you are on the vibrant mode.
Thank you for this beautiful review. I expect Xiaomi to follow steady steps in developing itself. I have been following you for some time from the Arab countries. I hope you add Arabic translation except for your clip because you have many Arab followers. All thanks and appreciation.
I actually like the Honor better, esp tat feature user can move a specific "subject" to any other app function - something like the Samsung "circle & search" feature. I oso envy the battery life for every day usage. But now Vivo & Xiaomi being so strongly rated in its cameras, i am confused now. 🤦
I am just recording and cutting my comparison and fully agree. Vivo 1st, Xiaomi 2nd and Honor 3rd in this comparison. I really like the video improvements on the Xiaomi and they seem to have fixed their audio issues with external mics as well
Well good luck, soem really silly Xiaomi and Vivo fanatic fanboy comments are incoming! How dare you do or don't say their brand is the best! But great to see you seeing the same as I do here.
More than 10 years ago, I was lusting for a full frame digital camera due to its image quality. Few days ago, I saw a video comparing an S24 ultra to a full frame Nikon and I was shocked how close it is. In short, buying flagship phone right now gets you full frame camera IQ which is way cheaper, compact and shoots better videos. However, I'm also a bit of a gamer so I want a flagship that does not throttle much and with bypass charging.
I dont think there are droped frames as you mention in many your videos. To me, it looks more like a stabilization issue trying to stabilize the movement while pannig (which it shouldnt do). Try turning all the stabilization off to see if its really droped frames, for the science!
Honor and vivo color profiles are more vivid,satureted and bit of contrast ,in my opinion it wld make sense if you aplied vivid mode on xiaomi to match colors among three instead of leica aunthentic which work the oposite way
It's frustrating that the vivo isn't on global carriers. Nor is the Xiaomi. Nor is the Oppo. That only really leaves Honor for most people because it's truly global. It needs some software updates. I don't record video on my phone and have only ever used the zoom to 20x at most so the Honor is perfect then.
i definitely prefer Xiaomi for most of the shots, but i rly gotta say that the honor nails the dark black skies at night even if it messes up the rest of the image. Portrait is still by far the best on Vivo, not surprised, Xiaomi has always been lackluster in the portrait mode. i quite like the bokeh balls on the X14U telemacro, though yeah the detailing could rly be improved. and tbf to the vivo in that first night shot, im pretty sure the patchiness is actually unfortunate lens flaring, rather than a flaw in the processing. i’ve been able to purposely recreate that kind of flare on my X13U’s 3x lens and it can make for interesting looking portrait shots.
good work. vivo takes the cake in my books, but i am a little disappointed with the ultrawide being slightly too narrow, and also how it captures faces sometimes. it creates some sort of artificial, painting-like, blending droopyness to eyes for example. it's strange. video microphone too, is noticeably of lower quality. i hope by x100 pro plus these would be fixed or reimagined.
thanks for the comparison mate. these are the 3 phones i'm looking at to upgrade from my iPhone13Pro. safe to say that the Honor Magic6 is out of the equation lol.
Great comparison, as always! I would go with the Xiaomi. Although it would be nice if the prices stopped going this high! Here in Portugal it costs 1.499€…😢
After i watch soo many videos...i stick to Samsung s24 ultra because Soo many features, excellent camara and video, customisation and mainly security in hardware level...updates upto 7 years ....worth the money
Yes it doesn't capture the red brake caliper red correctly that was one shot it didn't like. But it likes my red hibuscus flowers? Makes no sense very odd.
It doesn't appear to like neutral white balance either - I could see too much green or magenta hues on some of the vivo shots. It may just be my S22+ screen being inaccurate though?
0:00 I think I already said that a few months ago, but how are we supposed to properly view it on a 4k60 screen if the video itself isn't uploaded in 60fps?😅 Other than that great comparison still.
I wanted to ask if Xiaomi 14 ultra. Has it had any software updates? Vivo already had several that were supposed to improve the quality of photos. Does Xiaomi's policy suggest that they will further improve the camera?
Mentioned, it's had 2 now and I just got the last new update in time for this video. The vivo (global version I have) also got an update about 2-3 days ago.
Hi What was the version of the Maj on the Honor? A Maj was sent this week by Honor. what color mode did you choose on the Honor? Because you can choose 3 style preference. The photo with the Honor flower has a problem, it is the only phone with a variable aperture focal length. For the zoom I agree with you, after 10x it's very bad. For the rest I personally find that it is a matter of taste, because the 3 phones are very good, but personally I find in certain photos of the Honor sharper and more detailed, the photo of the cat for example and more detailed on the Honor, look at the mat compared to the Vivo. I personally find that it is difficult to find a winner at this level, regardless of these advantages and disadvantages. The vivo will have the best value for money. The most balanced honor. And the Xiaomi is much too expensive for ultimately little difference with the other competitors.
Software versions used Xiaomi 14 Ultra 1.0.4.0 (new), Honor version 8.0.0.127, and Vivo X10 Pro global 14.0.14.4.W30 (New) With the Honor I used natural, I found authentic was oversaturating the sky even more. The Honor was oversharpening that cat photo, no really adding detail but just sharpened and the photos looked very good for social media use straight away type of shot which many do prefer.
@Techtablets considerando l' ottima qualità di autonomia e ricezione credo che Honor sia il miglior smartphone da acquistare. Se devo fare foto professionali non compro uno smartphone. Secondo me Honor è il giusto compromesso.
Amazing latest 2 videos with the 14 Ultra! Surprised about the lack of quality on the zoom lens, it looks almost as if there's a focusing issue with that lens, as distant objects look blurry. Any plans to review the Meizu 21 and 21 Pro?
@TechTablets I own the X100 Pro and in two instances (out of ~2000 photos) the Zeiss Natural mode produced photos with some very odd artefacts. Have you spotted anything like that? I'd be happy to send them to you if you're interested. If so, let me know where to send them.
I've got the Xiaomi (normal smaller one) , and they really need to sort out the banding on the camera. I dunno if it only happens indoors but it is annoying, never had this on a phone before. Only happened a few times but enough to piss me off.
Nice one. X14U updates are looking good, but still a way to go to beat out the X100P. Do you have any doubts about cancelling your X14U order at this point?
No not really I feel it will be the same just not so overexposed the portrait shots. But basically the same, unless Xiaomi has some miracle firmware/software only used on the global version.
I can agree about your point on the Honor being too oversharpened. There are shots where Honor got the blue skies on similar level to Vivo, but the detail and colour science definitely needs some more refinement. What I would do with the Honor is shoot it in Pro mode without any manual settings since Pro mode tends to shy away from all the Auto mode processing algorithm.
Vivo's night sky and sharpness could be toned down 1 notch, other than that, absolute banger photos. Xiaomi's sharpness is imo perfect and if Vivo had an option for that then Vivo would've easily been the GOAT
Vivo user here since Jan 27th. Guys, get this phone without any doubts. Stills are awesome and better than samsung and iphone flagships. Video is fine but can't go 20x zoom, unlike S24 ultra or as good as iPhone. But portrait, stills, zoom - are all absolutely fantastic. Also wish they could do 4k at 120fps - Dimensity 9300 can handle it definitely. And we've got 16GB RAM as well. Not sure why Vivo hasn't given that.
x100 pro has some serious autofocus and network issues. i use motioncam app and in that it has heavy focusing issues. sometimes internet reaches only to browser apps and other apps just cannot pickup internet, i had to wait few min and internet works fine.
@@serrael-182 2.5x but 1/1.5" and 180mp... With those specs, it should at least do as well as the find x6 pro But it sometimes seems to do even worse than the honor magic5 pro
@@ep1k_4Havent seen a comparison with a find x6 pro (3x zoom google says) but magic 5 pro had 3,5x. Ive seen them in a comparison very close and it makes sence. You guys expect a little bit too much from the megapixels. If you make a 200MP pic with the samsung its not as detailed as a 50 Megapixel 2x zoom. I dont know why but i just accept it.
@@serrael-182 there isn't a direct comparison between the find x6 pro and the magic6 pro but even the magic5 pro (which seems to do better than the 6 pro) does worse than the find x6 pro also, megapixels matter in good lighting, but I'd guess that 180mp is just marketing bs and it never switches to the 180mp mode on the magic6 pro Either way, even for 2.5x, it's bad, especially considering what sensor is being used in the first place Personally I think they should improve both the zoom software on the magic5 pro and the magic6 pro, the fact that it's just 3.5x/2.5x is not a good excuse for those phones doing worse than a Huawei P30 Pro from 2019
@@Techtablets ahhhh you made my day!! Android Auto was the only reason I was prepared to wait and see if x100 pro will be sold officially in my country 😂
So I would like to see the same devices but this time focusing on the usage, in hand feel, menus, functions as that determines a lot how your device will feel and perform to you as an owner. Film the menues buttons material textures and so on
at this point, phone cameras are just soooo great and have very minor differences, its all down to your personal preferences. close your eyes, pick a phone, take a shot and you'll be happy with whatever you have.
honor is doing very well with limited hardware. video is so smooth on honor. microphone is awful on both vivo and honor, xiaomi is clear winner there. but again for camera vivo beats both overall.
I really Love The Honor Magic 6 pro.. And Planning to Buy one.. But the Camera has not impressed me that much especially the Portrait and Unrealistic Colours... Which can be fixed by Honor if they want I think they are savings the Best For the Ultimate and RSR Models.. Coming out in 18th March...
I have a Honor Magic 6 pro and to be honest I didn't encounter the problems reported in this video, the oversaturation thing I would say it's true but not at the levels reported in this video, I actually like it to be honest. I would say that the only real "weak" points are the front facing camera and the over 10x zoom. For everything else in my experience I really found very good the Hdr, night shoots and portrait lens (2.5x optical)
I can definitely say Honor Magic 6 pro is the best Flagship because I've one and tested it myself. But in the video I don't know how he got over saturation like what so ever
I like vivo but I'm just wondering if you set zeiss natural for Vivo, and like authentic for xiaomi why you didn't do that for Honor? I done that on mine and my pictures looks much better. I think software update changed a lot in Honor
Hi friend, great video! Tell me, does the lack of band 20 affect the signal reception quality and mobile internet speed? In Europe, band 20 is everywhere. It would be great if you could make a comparison with Oppo x7 ultra (or maybe compare several phones, including for the global versions, where band 20 is available) in terms of mobile signal quality and mobile internet speed (test with one sim card)
haha that was fast since you've got the xiaomi, thank you very much ! very nice comparisons as always, you go in depth, you show us a lot with a lot of good scenarios, you take low light photos without night mod (as it should be done all the time lol), you are making good analysis, thank you !! MY THOUGHTS ON THESE PHONES : REAR MAIN / UW / ZOOM VIDEO -> very nice footage from all three coming from the main camera, UW very choppy on the honor... bad quality when zooming during video footage from the honor + very bad stabilization when using zoom lens MIC QUALITY xiaomi is the best here, vivo is hurting my ears applying a weird filter that makes some strang very high pitched noise, very bad, honor is better but applying something similar when there is a lot of noise, xiaomi is doing the best here PORTRAITS -> honor bad, overexposed, sad to see | Xiaomi pretty good, but vivo wins it easily here DAY SAMPLES main UW Zoom -> Honor the sample was bad for the macro, saw better results from it but it seems to be inconsistent that's for sure. white balance seems off a lot of time, but i do like a lot the more contrasty output it delivers, but it is not near as natural as the others so that can be bad (even if again, in its natural mod, it is a mix of natural and too saturated colors lol)... but still doing a pretty good job in the photo area (even if not as versatile as the others for sure, the hardware is not good enough) Xiaomi I like it overall, pretty sure it can get better with software updates, good quality, good details, very versatile with all its lenses + variable aperture Vivo, overall the best for sure since you are saying the white balance and colors are correct, but still getting more contrasty shots than the xiaomi, would like to see the xiaomi in 2 / 3 months after some udpates NIGHT SHOTS -> overall, AS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, I prefer the honor output, it really gives very good contrasts and details, it keeps the sky very dark with not that much noise, it doesn"t really try to get details from areas that should be dark, I really like the behavior in low light shots during night time, I want the photo to get details I can see with my eyes, not things that are just invisible lol Xiaomi objectively is I think the best here in low light, just because of its hardware, I prefered vivo and honor output here, but I am pretty sure in some others scenarios it does better, and that it can get better with software updates Vivo did well, a good mix between honor contrasty output and xiaomi here ------- SUMMARY -> I think they are all good anyways, but in terms of versatility, Xiaomi is the best because of its videos capabilities and its photos capabilities, its hardware is just very nice I think Xiaomi is better for video ATM, Vivo better for photos because of the more contrasty output, better portraits... (ATM again lol) Honor I still prefer it for the low light shots, I like the overall more contrasty photos + even zoom shots up to idk, maybe 7 / 8x are good, up to 5 times very nice details etc.., but Xiaomi is better objectively, just because of what the hardware can deliver here + more natural shots overall (and seriously honor's video quality is just complete shit, especially when using the zoom) Sad to see honor being outclassed that much as you said it , because it is a very nice phone, with 3D face unlock, a very good battery, they are trying to improve, but in the camera department they just can't compete here I hope you'll review the Magic 6 Ultimate when it'll come out, it is supposed to have a new sensor (lol, couldn't they just put in the 6 pro ?) + a new "LOFIC technology" for better low light shots (hopefully this does not mean they will try to get unrealistic details that the eye can't see...)
Hi Chris, I am confused between buying the 14 ultra and vivo x100 pro. Both phones are similarly priced in my country. I want a phone that takes great point and shoot photos and a good display. Also it should last me above 3 years without getting laggy and slowing down.
It's really between Xiaomi and Vivo. Vivo has the advantage of being released earlier so it has received more updates. Xiaomi still has a lot of homework, but is the most promising.
Xiaomi seemed to fixed they terrible issue with wind noise, that's good to know. Generally it feels like it improved quite a lot from your first test, it also seems the most consistent with the white balance and overall colors.
He said the Find X7 Ultra not being global means it'll get low views which makes the effort not worth it. I'd like to see one too but it's understandable why Chris can't.
Drop frames , stabilisation not perfect etc etc that’s why the iPhone is unbeatable for now At least they don’t make compromises if you buy the most expensive
@@TechtabletsBetween the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, Honor Magic 6 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which one wins in terms of photo quality? I can't decide, and I need to buy a new phone since mine is way too old.
honor is the worst , and it's noticeably worse and espacially at video. for me xiaomi was the best and vivo on second place just for narrow ultra wide camera
Hi. Enjoy your work very much. From watching in depth review by westerners...... Not Chinese, coalmost all in agreement that vivo x100 pro and OPPO find x7 ultras are better... Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Honor magic 5 times zoom is great even without a high zoom lens. With just the 2x its giving good quality 5x image. It's surprising how it xan capture so much more details with just the 2.5x compared to the other two with 4x and 3.3x. it literally has more real details captured, like the roap and the surfing board on the yatch or boat. It's crazy. This xiaomi is all talk and no work. I have seen many camera reviews of this phone and it always fails to even compete with others in terms of details and hdr. It was way way behind others.
Does vevo has the worst microphone or it's just trying to record in front of the camera because you're using a front camera? There's not that logic recording you in the background when you're recording in front of the camera
Really good video thank you!!! If you had the chance, would you buy the Xiaomi 14 Ultra (Global - 512gb) for 850 euros? or would you spend a little bit more of money in another one?
@@Techtablets do you think those updates can improve the camera performance? Something similar with the s24u? Besides, do you think they can add the 5x option in portrait mode?

Great comparison, as always! I would go with the Xiaomi. Although it would be nice if the prices stopped going this high! Here in Portugal it costs 1.499€…😢
It's now 1400 in Spain I think, preorder 200 off ended and the gift of the camera kit. Too expensive.
are you blind
After i watch soo many videos...i stick to Samsung s24 ultra because
Soo many features, excellent camara and video, customisation and mainly security in hardware level...updates upto 7 years ....worth the money
Agreed
Just switched from s24u to oneplus12 and wow, much better camera especially main and night mode.
OnePlus trust issues especially DISPLAY GREENLINES..does it crush the brand value?...my answer is ofcourse YES
@@Giorgiio69 🧢🧢🧢
@@Giorgiio69 op12 doesnt have better camera, their video and front camera are a$$
is there anything known about the vivo X100 Pro+/Ultra ?
It's launching in May with quite a few upgrades
3:49 la cucitura migliore è troppo forte sul vivo e innaturale. Secondo me meglio Honor.
@techtablets what you prefer from the 3?
Seen reviews that points to the Vivo doesn’t quite like red colors, Autofocus basically wouldn’t establishes itself on a red flower 🌺
Yes it doesn't capture the red brake caliper red correctly that was one shot it didn't like. But it likes my red hibuscus flowers? Makes no sense very odd.
The Tech Phenomenon channel. Maybe just a glitch to make things a little more spicy 🌶️
It doesn't appear to like neutral white balance either - I could see too much green or magenta hues on some of the vivo shots. It may just be my S22+ screen being inaccurate though?
At 1:20 the field of of view is so poor in Vivo. why is that? Are you using a different zoom setting?
The ultrawide lens on the vivo isn't as wide as the other phones
@@Ben-AP Thanks. That's such a bummer. If VIVO had more than 10x video zoom and wide lens like others, there was nothing like it.
You need to make a video only exploring that "AI Zoom" on the 14 Ultra.
I found Xiaomi shots less over-exposed than they were on your quick review.
You can turn off the "enhance night sky" toggle in the vivo's camera settings.
0:00
I think I already said that a few months ago, but how are we supposed to properly view it on a 4k60 screen if the video itself isn't uploaded in 60fps?😅
Other than that great comparison still.
😅 Ah my error there I forgot to encode it to 4k60... Sorry about that. Thanks for watching!
I wanted to ask if Xiaomi 14 ultra. Has it had any software updates? Vivo already had several that were supposed to improve the quality of photos. Does Xiaomi's policy suggest that they will further improve the camera?
Mentioned, it's had 2 now and I just got the last new update in time for this video. The vivo (global version I have) also got an update about 2-3 days ago.
Hi What was the version of the Maj on the Honor? A Maj was sent this week by Honor. what color mode did you choose on the Honor? Because you can choose 3 style preference. The photo with the Honor flower has a problem, it is the only phone with a variable aperture focal length. For the zoom I agree with you, after 10x it's very bad. For the rest I personally find that it is a matter of taste, because the 3 phones are very good, but personally I find in certain photos of the Honor sharper and more detailed, the photo of the cat for example and more detailed on the Honor, look at the mat compared to the Vivo. I personally find that it is difficult to find a winner at this level, regardless of these advantages and disadvantages. The vivo will have the best value for money. The most balanced honor. And the Xiaomi is much too expensive for ultimately little difference with the other competitors.
Software versions used Xiaomi 14 Ultra 1.0.4.0 (new), Honor version 8.0.0.127, and Vivo X10 Pro global 14.0.14.4.W30 (New) With the Honor I used natural, I found authentic was oversaturating the sky even more. The Honor was oversharpening that cat photo, no really adding detail but just sharpened and the photos looked very good for social media use straight away type of shot which many do prefer.
@Techtablets considerando l' ottima qualità di autonomia e ricezione credo che Honor sia il miglior smartphone da acquistare. Se devo fare foto professionali non compro uno smartphone. Secondo me Honor è il giusto compromesso.
Amazing latest 2 videos with the 14 Ultra! Surprised about the lack of quality on the zoom lens, it looks almost as if there's a focusing issue with that lens, as distant objects look blurry.
Any plans to review the Meizu 21 and 21 Pro?
Which smartphone heats more? Vivo x 100 pro or Xiaomi 14 ultra?
Vivo is a clear winner. Its beating all comers in all comparison videos on UA-cam
But not in real
Try out with Magic 6 pro yourself
@TechTablets I own the X100 Pro and in two instances (out of ~2000 photos) the Zeiss Natural mode produced photos with some very odd artefacts. Have you spotted anything like that? I'd be happy to send them to you if you're interested. If so, let me know where to send them.
Just that sometimes it gets the colour wrong, but artifacts in night sky yes. Hard to see if not viewed on an OLED or AMOELD screen.
@@Techtablets definitely different for me. One of them was large purple spots in the face of a cat. Both instances were with the telephoto
Xiaomi fanboi here, but have to admit vivo is better
I've got the Xiaomi (normal smaller one) , and they really need to sort out the banding on the camera. I dunno if it only happens indoors but it is annoying, never had this on a phone before. Only happened a few times but enough to piss me off.
Xiaomi = audio
Vivo = camera
Honor = design
The best audio è Honor
No Bro
Camera for Honor
I have one
Test it yourself
Vivo is the best
Nice one. X14U updates are looking good, but still a way to go to beat out the X100P. Do you have any doubts about cancelling your X14U order at this point?
No not really I feel it will be the same just not so overexposed the portrait shots. But basically the same, unless Xiaomi has some miracle firmware/software only used on the global version.
Thanks for the video.
You said some pics of vivo over sharpening is that a bad thing?
Depends what you prefer the issue is once oversharpened you can't go back, but if it's soft you can sharpen it up.
@@Techtablets thanks a lot
Yeah Cris sir always good ..happy face😁 ... hardworking man...🎉
I can agree about your point on the Honor being too oversharpened. There are shots where Honor got the blue skies on similar level to Vivo, but the detail and colour science definitely needs some more refinement. What I would do with the Honor is shoot it in Pro mode without any manual settings since Pro mode tends to shy away from all the Auto mode processing algorithm.
For social media - honor
For video & front cam - xiaomi
For photography - vivo
Vivo's night sky and sharpness could be toned down 1 notch, other than that, absolute banger photos. Xiaomi's sharpness is imo perfect and if Vivo had an option for that then Vivo would've easily been the GOAT
Dxomark might think differently about Honor, they are french scientists
Would you say that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is most consistent and reliable ,
For focusing , good audio , and taking reliable pics and vids
?
Vivo user here since Jan 27th. Guys, get this phone without any doubts. Stills are awesome and better than samsung and iphone flagships.
Video is fine but can't go 20x zoom, unlike S24 ultra or as good as iPhone.
But portrait, stills, zoom - are all absolutely fantastic.
Also wish they could do 4k at 120fps - Dimensity 9300 can handle it definitely. And we've got 16GB RAM as well. Not sure why Vivo hasn't given that.
The 4.3 zoom in Marco mode is just stunning 😃 Thanks for the input as another x109 Pro user.
Does VIVO x100 gets heated up when shooting videos? 🤔
@ChetanaFoods not with video but with gaming yes
@@Techtablets thats nice ! thank you 👍 new Subscriber from India !
x100 pro has some serious autofocus and network issues.
i use motioncam app and in that it has heavy focusing issues.
sometimes internet reaches only to browser apps and other apps just cannot pickup internet, i had to wait few min and internet works fine.
Honor definitely has to improve their camera software, at least the zoom related stuff
They cant its only 2,5x
@@serrael-182 2.5x but 1/1.5" and 180mp...
With those specs, it should at least do as well as the find x6 pro
But it sometimes seems to do even worse than the honor magic5 pro
its too damn shaky
@@ep1k_4Havent seen a comparison with a find x6 pro (3x zoom google says) but magic 5 pro had 3,5x. Ive seen them in a comparison very close and it makes sence. You guys expect a little bit too much from the megapixels. If you make a 200MP pic with the samsung its not as detailed as a 50 Megapixel 2x zoom. I dont know why but i just accept it.
@@serrael-182 there isn't a direct comparison between the find x6 pro and the magic6 pro but even the magic5 pro (which seems to do better than the 6 pro) does worse than the find x6 pro
also, megapixels matter in good lighting, but I'd guess that 180mp is just marketing bs and it never switches to the 180mp mode on the magic6 pro
Either way, even for 2.5x, it's bad, especially considering what sensor is being used in the first place
Personally I think they should improve both the zoom software on the magic5 pro and the magic6 pro, the fact that it's just 3.5x/2.5x is not a good excuse for those phones doing worse than a Huawei P30 Pro from 2019
Does your Vivo x100 pro global version have Android Auto?
Yes it does working just fine used it today.
@@Techtablets ahhhh you made my day!! Android Auto was the only reason I was prepared to wait and see if x100 pro will be sold officially in my country 😂
Dxomark da nasıl honor magic 6 pro önde hem de 8 puan farkla?!!!
So I would like to see the same devices but this time focusing on the usage, in hand feel, menus, functions as that determines a lot how your device will feel and perform to you as an owner. Film the menues buttons material textures and so on
at this point, phone cameras are just soooo great and have very minor differences, its all down to your personal preferences. close your eyes, pick a phone, take a shot and you'll be happy with whatever you have.
honor is doing very well with limited hardware. video is so smooth on honor. microphone is awful on both vivo and honor, xiaomi is clear winner there. but again for camera vivo beats both overall.
on the vivo you have orign os or funtouch os ?
is funtouch os
I really Love The Honor Magic 6
pro.. And Planning to Buy one..
But the Camera has not impressed me that much especially the Portrait and Unrealistic Colours...
Which can be fixed by Honor if they want
I think they are savings the Best For the Ultimate and RSR Models.. Coming out in 18th March...
I have a Honor Magic 6 pro and to be honest I didn't encounter the problems reported in this video, the oversaturation thing I would say it's true but not at the levels reported in this video, I actually like it to be honest. I would say that the only real "weak" points are the front facing camera and the over 10x zoom. For everything else in my experience I really found very good the Hdr, night shoots and portrait lens (2.5x optical)
@@diegopagani6549 Is it detail the macro photography for 2.5x 180 mpx versus macro photography on Vivo x 100 pro used tele photo 4.3x and 5x?
I can definitely say Honor Magic 6 pro is the best Flagship because I've one and tested it myself. But in the video I don't know how he got over saturation like what so ever
Thanks, very thorough, I'm planning to purchase either Xiaomi 14U or Vivo X100P
@techtablets... Chris would you recommend the magic 6 pro over the op12? Which is the best balanced device and better camera? Thanks
magic6 pro and vivo x100 pro is tthe same price in my country. the only reason ill buy honor is because of the better battery.
+ durability 😉
Since the Honor Magic 6 Pro was released globally, how many times has it been updated?
zero
Aspettiamo
Exactly as I thought (0:55) the Xiaomi 14 Ultra becomes the most expensive wind catcher.
I like vivo but I'm just wondering if you set zeiss natural for Vivo, and like authentic for xiaomi why you didn't do that for Honor? I done that on mine and my pictures looks much better. I think software update changed a lot in Honor
A short comparation between the global Xiaomi and the Chinese version would be awesome
Maybe
Hey great video! Will you be doing X100 Ultra review/camer test ? Thanks
Hi yes I will be.
Hi friend, great video! Tell me, does the lack of band 20 affect the signal reception quality and mobile internet speed? In Europe, band 20 is everywhere. It would be great if you could make a comparison with Oppo x7 ultra (or maybe compare several phones, including for the global versions, where band 20 is available) in terms of mobile signal quality and mobile internet speed (test with one sim card)
Yes my 4G is rather slow about 49mbps max
haha that was fast since you've got the xiaomi, thank you very much ! very nice comparisons as always, you go in depth, you show us a lot with a lot of good scenarios, you take low light photos without night mod (as it should be done all the time lol), you are making good analysis, thank you !!
MY THOUGHTS ON THESE PHONES :
REAR MAIN / UW / ZOOM VIDEO -> very nice footage from all three coming from the main camera, UW very choppy on the honor... bad quality when zooming during video footage from the honor + very bad stabilization when using zoom lens
MIC QUALITY xiaomi is the best here, vivo is hurting my ears applying a weird filter that makes some strang very high pitched noise, very bad, honor is better but applying something similar when there is a lot of noise, xiaomi is doing the best here
PORTRAITS -> honor bad, overexposed, sad to see | Xiaomi pretty good, but vivo wins it easily here
DAY SAMPLES main UW Zoom -> Honor the sample was bad for the macro, saw better results from it but it seems to be inconsistent that's for sure. white balance seems off a lot of time, but i do like a lot the more contrasty output it delivers, but it is not near as natural as the others so that can be bad (even if again, in its natural mod, it is a mix of natural and too saturated colors lol)... but still doing a pretty good job in the photo area (even if not as versatile as the others for sure, the hardware is not good enough)
Xiaomi I like it overall, pretty sure it can get better with software updates, good quality, good details, very versatile with all its lenses + variable aperture
Vivo, overall the best for sure since you are saying the white balance and colors are correct, but still getting more contrasty shots than the xiaomi, would like to see the xiaomi in 2 / 3 months after some udpates
NIGHT SHOTS -> overall, AS A PERSONAL PREFERENCE, I prefer the honor output, it really gives very good contrasts and details, it keeps the sky very dark with not that much noise, it doesn"t really try to get details from areas that should be dark, I really like the behavior in low light shots during night time, I want the photo to get details I can see with my eyes, not things that are just invisible lol
Xiaomi objectively is I think the best here in low light, just because of its hardware, I prefered vivo and honor output here, but I am pretty sure in some others scenarios it does better, and that it can get better with software updates
Vivo did well, a good mix between honor contrasty output and xiaomi here
-------
SUMMARY -> I think they are all good anyways, but in terms of versatility, Xiaomi is the best because of its videos capabilities and its photos capabilities, its hardware is just very nice
I think Xiaomi is better for video ATM, Vivo better for photos because of the more contrasty output, better portraits... (ATM again lol)
Honor I still prefer it for the low light shots, I like the overall more contrasty photos + even zoom shots up to idk, maybe 7 / 8x are good, up to 5 times very nice details etc.., but Xiaomi is better objectively, just because of what the hardware can deliver here + more natural shots overall (and seriously honor's video quality is just complete shit, especially when using the zoom)
Sad to see honor being outclassed that much as you said it , because it is a very nice phone, with 3D face unlock, a very good battery, they are trying to improve, but in the camera department they just can't compete here
I hope you'll review the Magic 6 Ultimate when it'll come out, it is supposed to have a new sensor (lol, couldn't they just put in the 6 pro ?) + a new "LOFIC technology" for better low light shots (hopefully this does not mean they will try to get unrealistic details that the eye can't see...)
i wonder how the A55 and s24 plus after update will fare vs vivox100 pro and xiaomi 14 ultra
where can i get the global version of Vivo x100 pro?
Thailand here has global version of X100 Pro
Hi Chris, I am confused between buying the 14 ultra and vivo x100 pro. Both phones are similarly priced in my country. I want a phone that takes great point and shoot photos and a good display. Also it should last me above 3 years without getting laggy and slowing down.
Definitely Xiaomi 14 ultra
If you have to decide between honor and xiaomi, which one?
If I shot a lot of video and use zoom then the Xiaomi. For the phone itself the Honor is really nice and well rounded. But terrible video quality
It's really between Xiaomi and Vivo. Vivo has the advantage of being released earlier so it has received more updates. Xiaomi still has a lot of homework, but is the most promising.
Xiaomi seemed to fixed they terrible issue with wind noise, that's good to know. Generally it feels like it improved quite a lot from your first test, it also seems the most consistent with the white balance and overall colors.
The haven't there was just less wind than the other test I did.
BTW is it possible for you to do a Find X7 Ultra vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro? Would love that, cheers!
He said the Find X7 Ultra not being global means it'll get low views which makes the effort not worth it. I'd like to see one too but it's understandable why Chris can't.
Any recommendation for a tablet around 150$
how about the quality of mic. from vivo x100 pro?
X100 mic is the worst them
@@Techtablets thankyou sir for your answer, do think it can get good quality audio from live band and take a video?
Thank you, nice work. Are you now more hopeful with Xiaomi 14 Ultra, with the update?
Yes I see some minor improvements I think, they must be working on it.
amazing Xiaomi 14 ultra , so different from another 14 series, Xiaomi 14 ultra look like same with 13 ultra they make it for focus in camera
Disappointed with honor, they should focus on these camera updates. Its absurd for a new phone to be like this
Drop frames , stabilisation not perfect etc etc that’s why the iPhone is unbeatable for now
At least they don’t make compromises if you buy the most expensive
In vídeo it yes 100% still the king of video.
@@TechtabletsBetween the Oppo Find X7 Ultra, Honor Magic 6 Pro, and Xiaomi 14 Ultra, which one wins in terms of photo quality? I can't decide, and I need to buy a new phone since mine is way too old.
honor is the worst , and it's noticeably worse and espacially at video. for me xiaomi was the best and vivo on second place just for narrow ultra wide camera
The honor was very poor at video, been their weakness for sometime.
What a shame honor have some great potential but no optimize with the sensor, great video!
I have xiaomi 14 ultra.and i relly enjoy it. Cn rom and i like video and also picture quality.
Hi. Enjoy your work very much. From watching in depth review by westerners...... Not Chinese, coalmost all in agreement that vivo x100 pro and OPPO find x7 ultras are better... Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for that!
Awesome camera comprision as always Chris Sir
Thanks again!
Which one have good stabilization??
Honor magic 5 times zoom is great even without a high zoom lens. With just the 2x its giving good quality 5x image. It's surprising how it xan capture so much more details with just the 2.5x compared to the other two with 4x and 3.3x. it literally has more real details captured, like the roap and the surfing board on the yatch or boat. It's crazy.
This xiaomi is all talk and no work. I have seen many camera reviews of this phone and it always fails to even compete with others in terms of details and hdr. It was way way behind others.
Anybody having problems with the main lens fogging up on the 14 Ultra??? Everyone seems to be having this manufacturing issue
everyone?
Does vevo has the worst microphone or it's just trying to record in front of the camera because you're using a front camera? There's not that logic recording you in the background when you're recording in front of the camera
xiaomi 14 ultra win, best color, best textures, best contras, etc
Really good video thank you!!! If you had the chance, would you buy the Xiaomi 14 Ultra (Global - 512gb) for 850 euros? or would you spend a little bit more of money in another one?
For 850 yes I would and then a lot of patience to wait for those big camera updates.
@@Techtablets do you think those updates can improve the camera performance? Something similar with the s24u?
Besides, do you think they can add the 5x option in portrait mode?
@@juanjosenovoacruz3710yes the current 13 ultra is beating the 14 ultra in other comparisons
No brainer for ＄850
