The OriginOS6 look promising .

Magic eraser can be use on Live photo too.

With high temperature , phone stil maintain the smoothness instead of drop to 60hz.

I'm not sure what is the argument about between Azhar75 and Chongkiatz and don't understand the actual point Azhar75 is trying to make here. If I'm guessing, the X200 Ultra is said to be lousy when compared to competitors?

Anyway interesting discussion here so I'll add a little here. Regarding post-processing of photos after the image is taken by the phone, I have never done post-processing and will never be interested although I get to know people do that with Lightroom software about 20 years ago when cameras in smartphones during those days were in their infancy with outdated technology.

I don't know about the X200 versions but my X90 Pro has this Auto-adjustment feature whereby after a photo was taken by the phone, one can select the "Auto" feature and the phone will automatically adjust the image quality (exposure, brightness, contrast, highlights etc.) to produce the best image quality. There isn't any need for the user to manually adjust the brightness or contrast to improve the picture. This is specifically useful when the photo has poor image quality when taken in low light conditions. If the photo does not look bright enough, the 'Auto' feature will automatically make the image look brighter and clearer with better clarity. IN other words, it may be a cheap version of post-processing by using this Auto feature.

The image below shows the Auto feature of the X90 Pro where it will automatically adjust the settings to produce an improved picture quality when selected.



I'm still waiting for the X300 Ultra with anticipation.

By the way, my dad took a video using his phone and posted on Whatsapp just recently and the quality is very poor, grainy with a lot of pixels and the colours are washed-out and not vibrant. I have forgotten the brand of the phone but it's marketed as a very tough phone and won't break even though dropped from 20 floors up or hit by a hammer, something like that. The cost is RM1k+.

The brand u mention should be Honor brand , try to send as "HD" ? Because without HD , whatsapp will compress and sometime make the video color look dull on android phone.


1. By the way , what azhar75 came here and drop a message saying that vivo x200 series just a 100x zoom and nothing else , then i told him that this phone is not about ONLY 100x zoom thing , the portrait / macro / low light mode in vivo x200 is phenomenal compared to their competitive , then he saying that "Other MODE is pointless" because 100x is the only "FUTURE"

2. After this he claim that because professional user will always post-processing or edited their photo after snap in each mode so the "OTHER MODE" is useless thing , which i dont agree because not everyone is born to be "Professional" to do some editing on their photo , what a normal consumer want is "SOOC".

3. Here is where i showing him the flexibility of VIVO , VIVO give u a choice , if u want something directly Out of Camera , u can snap with "VIVID" mode , it will automatic add some brightness / contract / saturation to make your photo look like "EDITED" , but if u dont like those after processed photo and u really look into professional and hope your photo can look as natural as your eyes , here we go , u can choose to shoot on "ZEISS NATURAL" Mode , turn off HDR , at this point , the photo wont add any post-processing effect to the phone.


Perhaps my english not that good , make him dont understand my statement clearly.


That the reason why someone really need to use the device yourself , experience yourself , only make the judgement , is that this phone really just a "100x zoom thing only?" Hmm....

Just ignore him la.. Every post he also meow with nonsense

Yes, it's Honor, orange in colour. Thanks. Nowadays my memory is not so good. I will forget about something say early today, but later in the afternoon or tomorrow I will recall it. Will check on the video quality of the original file later to see if it's much improved in quality compared to the one sent on Whatsapp which is really poor. As far as I recall, the picture and video quality of Honor phones is not very good.

I'm not sure about the earlier debate as it seems like a one-liner "100X zoon is useless" etc. without much context. So I don't really know what is the 'actual' message that is to be conveyed. Anyway, that's not too important since all that's important for me is the X300 Ultra. As far as I know, the X200 Pro and Ultra should be very good already since I regard my X90 Pro to be good already. The X200 Pro should be better than X90 Pro I presume.

x90 pro to x200 PRO , obviously will be the improvement of zoom , but somehow the x90 Pro have it 1inch sensor advantage for the main sensor , really depend u need the extra zoom , or else let wait how is the x300 performance with the new LYT sensor compared to 1inch sensor.

Sometimes when you think about it, it's quite interesting. No matter how good is the phone ie. a phone with high-end large sensor, chip or processor etc. it will become obsolete in 3 to 4 years max, well maybe up to 5 years if one really loves the phone to bits. The top-of-the-range high end phone will only last about 3 to 4 years before it becomes obsolete. A quick google on the internet suggests that the average life span of a phone is 2.5 years only as people replace their phone after this duration on average. Hence, no matter how good is the phone, it will become obsolete or useless in quite a short period as all the good hardware will be a waste as it is thrown away and adding to the landfill.

In contrary, with high-end DSLRs which I believe are much costlier, they will last a lot longer. Though I have never own DSLRs and don't foresee myself owning one in this lifetime. The performance of cameras in smartphones these days is already very good which is a good thing, where compact cameras are already obsolete and have no place today, in my opinion.

Yes, zoom may be the main weakness of the X90 Pro as mentioned earlier. X300 Ultra will be interesting as although the sensor is smaller than the 1-inch type in the X90 pro and X100 Pro, it is slightly larger than the one in X200 Pro/Ultra. It's only the X300 Pro's sensor that will share the same size as the X200 Pro/Ultra if I'm not mistaken.

Actually what u say is true , phone camera performance will also degrade over time , macam DSLR , u actually need to do some maintenance of cleaning the camera sensor , and also changing the shutter if u hit certain of shutter count.

Vivo x300 Pro 4k 60fps Dolby Vision , unbeated video zoom quality

one more day...

will wait for x9pro comparison...

If you want to maintain the video quality, dont send over whatsapp, whatsapp re-compress everything you send because they want to save their sever storage and bandwidth
You use whatsapp for free, they have to pay for the storage and cpu processing

Google drive you can send HQ, original file, but not youtube.

Post processing aka lightroom is for professional photographer, that, you know, their high-end camera probably not equipped with processing capabilities, or just minimal,
after they extracted the photo, they will need to do post-processing with software with PC, to resize, remove grains, dirt, remove unwanted objects, corrections, blabla
i know a bit because i used to be book scanner, HQ raw scanned image can be as large as 500MB, original not processed image look like turd lol

with the rise of the smart phone with quality camera and lens, plus the powerful Soc and software,
everything you do is hardware/AI assisted, post-processing is probably not needed with smartphone photography for amateurs.

Good to know. Technology is moving rapidly and it's amazing that phones have evolved to a point to render compact cameras obsolete, going close to DSLR quality now with the large sensor cameras. I've tried the Auto adjustment feature on photos which look a bit dark and poor where the image was taken in low light, and the result is amazing as the quality of the image is automatically improved in clarity, brightness and everything, looking much better than the original photo. There isn't any need for a human to work on the photo in Lightroom already as the software of the phone does all the work. It's like AI where humans are not required to do the work anymore.

AI technology , the powerful SOC , is bring convinence to human , the AI will do every calculation for you which save your time , as long as the output is great and nice , why not right? Otherwise each time u snap picture , have to export to lightroom , doing some fine tune , u can save those time for other thing.

And some "fanboy" will complain saying that android phone "LOOK FAKE" and claim their iphone look more real in photo. (but in fact vivo also can changing to Zeiss natural to get "real" look)

So a question here , like Taylor Swift / black Pink , are they perform on stage without any make up / naked face?? Or dare to say they have not done any plastic surgery to improve their look? But who care ? As long as the result output look great / beautiful right , then u get the job done.


Basically when i'm on casual snapping mode , i will just turn on the "VIVID" mode , lazy la 1 by 1 edit , so when i feel like i would like to do some editing on the photo , i will switch to Zeiss Natural so that i have more control to tune the color.


From my wechat china group discussion over there , most of them vote for the look of Oppo find x9 Pro , one of the reason because it have a new look compared to vivo x300 series which stil round shape of camera , another reason is find x9 pro will be using 7500mAh compared 6500mAh on vivo x300 Pro.

China ppl mind is now crazy , their mind is mou "辨识度" , mou the eyes look at the phone already know "That is new design" , macam xiaomi17PM with rear sceen , ppl from far see already know is new phone , so vivo x300 series sales might not so good this year in china i think.

Video quality is surely good, though there is no comparison to other phones unfortunately. Watching this on my small screen X90 Pro, 2180x1260 UHD surely is impressive but I think the main advantage of 4K 60fps is watching it on a big screen, say 55" or 65" or larger. I assume the video will be crystal clear, taken by a phone and not a high-end video camera costing RM20k.

Really appreciate for the technology improvement , so that we can enjoy.

By the way macro shot this morning SOOC in Zeiss Natural mode.
