And to answer your question: Yes, any Vivo 80W charger should achieve the same charging speed on your phone.

    Is it possible to charge the ultra with the vivo x80 pro charger that is also in 80W?
    I got the ultra for 2 weeks now in France. It is just the most amazing phone I’ve ever had

      Is UW downgrade compared to X100 Pro? And why, sensor is among biggest for UW in phones?

      I decided i won't buy any phone anymore until they don't give UW cam on the next level like X100 Ultra did with zoom.

            Gsmarena found it wise to review the China only version as against reviewing both so that international customers can consider the X 100sPro

                Pro is straight up LOSING the details (As exemplified by dark leaves on the upper left corner for the 1st image, brick wall patterns and an antenna of the building for the 2nd image) that Ultra managed to retain. The amount of sharpening applied to the photos from both phones is comparable, I feel like you're simply conflating details and oversharpening.

                "There are no hotspots from flood lights lighting up the building..."
                Exactly which photo are you talking about? Please point me to the section of the photo you're referring to with a screenshot.

                "light cut off ends up abruptly like it's shooting from a lens and not from a reflector"
                This doesn't even make sense, again on which photo can you observe this and which part of it are you looking at?

                "made the building look orange and purple"
                ...Huh?

                "OK, maybe some other modes will end up with different and better image but this default mode is nonsense"
                It's just like how Leica Vibrant mode on Xiaomi phones tries to produce eye-catching photos whereas Leica Authentic maintains subtle tonality in darker areas while going easier on sharpening. If you're given multiple options to choose from to suit your needs, I don't understand why you're even complaining about it to begin with.

                  Best camera phone ever. It`s like the phone has been tailored specifically for me. I was waiting for a phone that could capture excellent low light photos and videos. And I don`t agree that the Pro photos are comparable. If you zoom in fully, you`ll see the tiny details are like pastel painting unlike the photos from the Ultra

Higher focal length for ... moreI have nothing against a great portrait camera, but I think it would be quite interesting to see whether a 170mm 50 megapixel Quad Bayer or Bayer camera with the same effective lens diameter would perform better at 340mm than the 85mm 200 megapixel Tetra²pixel Quad Pixel autofocus camera.

                      There are no hotspots from flood lights lighting up the building (actually there is only two at the very left of the building because scene recognition couldn't recognize them as hotspots so it didn't fill them in with surrounding color). There is no light spillage, light cut off ends up abruptly like it's shooting from a lens and not from a reflector. And the most obvious thing is crazy HDR tone mapping that made the building look orange and purple. That doesn't make any sense. Image is fake af.

                      As a matter of fact its the worst image rendition of the same subject when compared to rest of the flagships S23 Ultra, 13 Ultra, X7 Pro, OP12, P8 Pro, iPhone 15, X100 Pro and 1VI. Check it out yourself. OK, maybe some other modes will end up with different and better image but this default mode is nonsense.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you've got reading comprehension skills as well.

                            Reread my comment again - Zeiss Natural and Zeiss Texture modes produce more neutral-looking (albeit possibly less eye-pleasing to most people) colours and details. You can literally see the difference in the daylight samples GSMArena provided in this review, and all I suggested was that you have a few options to choose from if the default processing style isn't what you're chasing after. This shouldn't be that hard to understand lol.

                            "X100 Pro overprocessed nighttime image looks tons better than X100 Ultra"
                            No, X100 Ultra simply retains more details in its photos. They both have an equally prominent "processed" look in the default Zeiss Vibrant mode, but X100 Pro is showing a slightly more pronounced oilpainting effect within the finest details.

After all, I compared the result with iQOO 12 since it also uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 SoC, and the iQOO shows a much more promising result.

                                Proud owner of vivox100 pro and Tbh havnt found any alternatives till date. .The phone is beast and still the camera king 👑 at the price they are offering. .Vivo(a-team behind camera) has done an execllent job in terms of camera and hardware. . Just compare the telephoto and night shots with other pioneers u will be in love with Vivo.

If you want to justify it yourself that "Zeiss" brand licensing on some post process chain is actually something scientific and accurate that's your heart believe then.

                                  X100 Ultra is post process turned to 11 compared to X100 Pro. Looking images side by side even X100 Pro overprocessed nighttime image looks tons better than X100 Ultra

It... moreI have S23U and while there was progress in the processing, there were no updates to it in like last couple of months, and for me, it is still far from being decent. ExpertRAW on 23 series is still bad and produces most of the time too HDRish images for my taste and ruines small details. The Stock camera app often produces halos and strange sky artifacts. I mean it is much better than it was when this phone was released, but I am not happy about how it looks. I still think that GCAM is a must.

                                      In my opinion, Nokia 808 PureView had the best processing (but it is outdated because it can't handle the dynamic range), followed by Lumia 950, which had Sony Alpha camera like processing.
