It's all about the software like HDR, color/white balance, sharpness and especially stabilization. The Vivo is indeed better at noise control and light gathering in moderately difficult conditions. Dunno about harsh conditions.

Really? This was your review of the x100 Ultra? Where is the street photography part? You know that the photo app has another section, right? When you swipe it up. Why do you even bother to review the phone if you won't do a full review? Or maybe you just can't do it anymore.

I has camera 70% larger. It should be miles better.
Vivo is one of many that use as default multi exposure for videos too.
No excuse to be in disadvantage.

"add grain to add additional content into high frequence areas and then denoise it back down"
"paint in blowouts"
I don't see a trace of any of these processes taking place. Maybe don't try to make up random stuff if you don't know what you're talking about?
Anonymous, 02 Jul 2024Frame stacking in video is for spec warriors who's only concern is not to end up with blo... moreThat's not caused by frame stacking but by the following tonemapping process. For instance, iPhone is known for not handling the skin tone of a person lit by strong sunlight, but if you shoot in ProRAW (for photos) or ProRes Log (for videos) then you won't see any of these tonality issues because there's no post-processing that tries to compress the dynamic range into oblivion involved.

I like it vivo x 100 best phone
Anonymous, 02 Jul 2024I don't see nothing special about night shots, they look exactly what college student wou... moreyou have no idea what you are talking about, the night shots look excellent on my 27 inch screen , iphone and samsung uses much more sharpening than vivo and because vivo has a bigger sensor can snap the picture much faster than iphone and samsung making it less prone to blurry pics or moving objects looking weird , the picture has much more details than i can see with own eyes and i repeat, the auto mode has a DAMN SLIDER to customize the sharpness which no other phone have. Iphone is doing pretty well for their small sensor but struggling with dynamic range while samsung is the worst .
Anonymous, 02 Jul 2024I am not sure, but I have the impression that the periscope camera hasn't reached the ful... moreI want to add that another issue could be the microlens array (one microlens above four subpixels, Quad Pixel autofocus). Nobody knows how much it really affects the sharpness. It's actually a surprise that in contrast to dual pixel autofocus (12 megapixel dual pixel sensors actually have 24 megapixel, but due to the microlens array, they can effectively only use a resolution of 12 megapixel), the sharpness doesn't seem to be much lower with the right algorithms.
With one microlens per pixel, a point source (a star) should ideally illuminate a single pixel. But when there is one microlens above four pixels, the point source might illuminate more pixels.
Anonymous, 02 Jul 2024if you think apple has better hdr than vivo you are crazy, this is by far the phone with best ... moreI haven't seen the X100 Ultra's videos but the X100 Pro was very much neck and neck with Apple and the only thing separating them was some minor differences in processing style and where sometimes Vivo failed, Apple didn't. And by failed I mean they didn't provide a 8+/10 footage, so that's still usable footage. And the other thing is Vivo's oversharpening in videos, they just need to tone it down, their videos are amazing and just need some small adjustments. I watched The Tech Phenomena's videos and I'm not saying Apple is FAR better or anything, just slightly better due to being consistent.
Oh and btw, I'm talking about HDR videography. NOT the lowering of highlights in SDR videography. I don't see anyone doing HDR videography on phones that much and can only speak from experience, I tried HDR videography on iPhone 13 Pros and that stuff is just sublime.
Also yeah I'd love footage from you, I waste half the day looking at this stuff lmao Would love to see some HDR videos of the X100 Ultra but it's tough to find footage online so maybe you could send that too. HDR is best recorded in places with specular highlights so a moderately dark-dark place with bright lights.

These nightime samples look horrible on big screen but they look great on a mobile screen and that's the point. Whole post processing pipeline is created to suite mobile screen application and nothing more.

I use x90 pro+ and now x100 ultra I haven't encounter any bugs so I don't know what you are bubbling about.
As for stabilization , take a look at this video at min 15, looks the most stable to me and with the best dynamic range, iphone has ghosting effect due to worst stabilization

The dynamic range is good but its quality is nowhere near ... morethe auto mode has a slider where you can adjust sharpness, exposure etc manually so it can fit the liking of everyone, if you think the default sharpness is too much I wonder what you say about a samsung which oversharpnes to the sky , in my opinion the sharpness is good and doesn't look like a painting on samsung
YUKI93, 02 Jul 2024"The thing is though, it got so hot that it was impossible to hold at the end of the test... moreUltra has QHD panel, gonna push gpu more than Pro.
This generates no heat.
Hotter surface means heat is coming out easier
Basically its retail price is no more than 60-65% compared to iphone pro max 256GB, still has not sold 150.000 units so far.
Not gonna reach 400.000 before next gen is announced.
Only samsung and huawei sell well phones above $1000
