After watching Versus' phone camera comparison between the Vivo X100 Pro, OnePlus 12, Samsung S24 Ultra, and the Oppo Find X7 Pro, I was struck by how the S24 struggled to take pictures against the light. Meanwhile, the X100 Pro managed to produce clear photos.๐Ÿคจ

The S24 Ultra is much, much better than Vivo.

The camera on the Vivo is subpar, and I almost overlooked the S24 Ultra. Samsung's performance is more streamlined and smoother due to its One UI 6 interface, giving it increased stability, especially for intensive gaming. I lean towards Samsung because it offers superior screen color quality, delivering a more immersive experience thanks to enhanced graphics. There is a minor difference between the two; although they share the same frame, the S24 Ultra edges out in superiority. Would you agree with me?

MediaTek chipsets support 1x320mp, yet Vivo still utilises 50mp. Additionally, MediaTek also supports 180Hz, but apparently, no company is making use of this. The only exception is Asus, which uses 165Hz.

I would still choose the Vivo X100 Pro because it can compete with the S24 Ultra in any performance metric, including heavy gaming. Moreover, while the Vivo X100 Pro might struggle to handle the Dimensity 9300 throttling, it does manage its battery life remarkably well. It's amusing to see some kids choosing the S24 Ultra as if they could afford it. Samsung fans, am I right? ๐Ÿค“
