CAN CHINA VIVO X 100 ULTRA CAN YOU PUT IT ANY LANGUAGE
Actually, just ordered the Ultra on wondamobile 2 days ago. I was deciding between the Vivo x100 Ultra, Vivo x100 Pro and the Oppo Find X7 Ultra. Ultimately went with this one and your review definitely makes me feel like i made the right decision. Such beautiful shots you took. Kinda sucks that here in America everyone is blinded by Apple, Samsung and Google to not see what else is truly out there. China is honestly the king of smartphones and it’s not even close.

Why is nobody mentioning in any X100 Ultra review that you now can change brightness, contrast, sharpness and saturation with a button directly in automatic mode. It is such an important thing, as people in some reviews were complaining about photos being slightly oversharpened or a bit to bright, but as you can change that so easily and it will keep the settings that way if you want, it is even better, bc like that it gets perfect for every person no matter what style somebody prefers. Also in general different situation sometimes need different settings, so even if you like the default look, if you really care about your photos you still might want something different in some situations. On all the other phones you can't change these settings except for brightness which means you have to edit them afterwards on your phone or on the computer. But if a photo is oversharpened you can't really change that afterwards, at least not directly on the phone. So I think it's mega important to talk about that feature and I've only seen one photographer with a relatively small KZread channel who did mention that in his review of the X100 Ultra

Agree. The general trend is to show sample photos and very fast snapshots of the camera app interface and that's enough to make people happy - because the photos are indeed amazing. But I agree that the configurability of settings and the level of advancement of exposure control in the X100 Ultra are a far cry from the competition, worthy of a completely separate video for a complete demonstration of the possibilities that are unlike anything in previous Android smartphones.

I think no one talks about this yet, but coming from vivo x100 pro last month and have the ultra now, the autofocus on the new telephoto lens is faster especially when you shoot macro and longer zooms like airplanes than the pro. The pro is a hit or miss especially with plane shots and most of the time you need to tap to focus but it will be hard to track the plane while doing it. The 85mm is a better option for me when I use it for composing shots.
Vivo X70 pro series such an incredible device...that device blowed my mind at night photos and incredible dynamic range. Vivo just moved upwards only
Nice! Thank you!
NICE VIDEO! THANK YOU! YOU GOOD MAN!
Impressive! 😃👍 A better Tele Macro is what I had needed yesterday evening when I tried to shoot some "June Bugs" on my finger and arm. 😂 About the featured camera: nice follow-mode!!! But I think the microphone isn't in the top league. 😉
Thank you for this very informational video. Can you make a video about your experience with Vivo's software (frequency of updates, UI etc) over the past year?
I'm disappointed the X100 pro didn't get a humanistic camera update

that's an ultra feature. but you're right, if they put a pro on the name it should have pro features.
Are you going to do a dedicated video comparing the updated cameras, including video and photo samples in low light situation from main, tele and selfie cameras, against other flagships? Please include samples from fx7 ultra, 14 ultra e x100p!
About the battery - it's a major diffrence between X100 Ultra and X100 Pro, because of diffrent technology used in battery. X100 Pro has 5400mAh cap, with standard Li-Ion battery tech. X100 Ultra has slightly bigger capacity of 5500mAh, but... it is made with diffrent material: Si-C (silicon carbon), which can withstand a high temperatures and low temperatures and don't get damaged. That is huge diffrence, which means, that kind of Si-C battery will much slower degrade over time.

Now this is a review 👀👏🏻 And yes if you have the Pro, the Ultra isn't a big upgrade over it. Still a good upgrade. What do you think about Origin OS for global usage tho? I heard from the Average Dad YT that Origin OS feels more like a global OS even without it's China exclusivity. Is there any downsides or issues if we want to import the Ultra and use it daily?

You must remove a lot of bloadware. Alot of Origin Kits still have Chinese Symbols even after setting to your language. You can't use Jovi, same like Siri. Exept you can talk Chinese. You can access a lot of newspapers or media but all from China. This origin os offers extrem much but you can't use it all. But what you can use is still enough. But would be an unbelievable phone if you could use all of it. I got the origin os version on my Vivo x90 pro plus from China. I would still buy it. Maybe I'm going to buy the ultra soon.

Man Vivo's cameras and image processing are just awesome. I've been a fan ever since they introduced their X series. Originally, I was an avid supporter of Oppo but I feel they have gone downhill... Especially with their Reno series. I'm glad to be a Vivo user now, even though it's just the V30 but I still love the camera for an upper mid-range phone. Hehe
I read on reddit the video is jittering due to OIS and electronic stabilisation and that there are many bugs in the software. (Lightroom over saturated and not in the gallery for ex), lack of battery optimization etc... ur thoughts on those?
Hi Ben, i can't decide between this or the Oppo x7 ultra, can you help?

The only thing I'm missing from my X80 Pro after selling it is that Texture Mode. I didn't use it much because when it came with the update it didn't take long when I sold the phone
I do want to ask, does the Vivo X100 Ultra tend to over HDR and apply sharpening to its photos? How does it process its photos? Is there a proper manual mode? How good is the consistency between each lens?
Can you please comment if you notice any scratches on the display glass or not? Also, how is the battery life and thermals when using the phone to click a lot of pictures/videos outdoor with mobile data on?

Great video, Ben. As always! I'm writing from my X100 Ultra, best camera phone ever created, period. I am one of those who upgraded from the X100 Pro to the Ultra, and I would say it was totally worth. Here's a list of the upgrades you can expect: -Better screen: the bump in resolution is actually very noticeable, and the brightness under direct sunlight has been raised -Better fingerprint sensor: this one is ultrasonic and it is better positioned (the Pro was optical and positioned too low) -Better speakers: a proper stereo speakers setup, with good volume and way more bass than the ones on the Pro, which sounds quite bad -Better mobile signal reception -Better front camera: the front camera on the Pro doesn't have autofocus, the one on the Ultra does. The subsequent bump in quality and sharpness is really noticeable, but sometimes the photos come up a little overshapened. This brings me to the next point. -Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 allows you to install GCam, which basically fix the oversharpened selfie photos. You could install GCam on the Pro, but since it had a Mediatek processor, the compatibility was meh and it was pretty impossible to make the front camera work. -Wider ultrawide: as Ben said, the ultrawide photos are good but on par with the Pro, but the slightly wider field of view helps a lot -Better telephoto lens: Ben said it all, no need to add anything, I'll just say that it can produce mirrorless-like photos like any other smartphone on the market. Every photo is just jawdropping. -New photo modes: Humanistic Street Photography mode, Stage mode, Underwater mode. Street Photography + new black and white color mode = chef's kiss! -Better hair cutout in Portrait Mode -New video modes: LOG recording on the main sensor in Pro mode, 4k 120fps one the main and telephoto sensor (3,7x 4k 120fps slow motion footage is pure cinema) Things that got a little worse: -Battery charging power went down from 100W to 80W (wired) and from 50W to 30W (wireless). To me it's not a problem, since I always charge the phone at max 25W to prevent overheating and battery degradation. Things that could be improved in general: -Battery life is really good but to me could get even better with updates -Dynamic range on front camera videos is not great, the sky is often clipped -Night skies are very bright and tend to be very blue. I like it but it would be perfect if they added a toggle to switch between realistic dark sky and enhanced blue sky (there is a toggle in the Settings, but it does not make any difference) If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
