Numerous cross-brands will be the norm from now on.
And once you have covered all the major brands, you can start listing the names of famous people.
The end result will be like the end credits of a movie

    Anonymous, 18 hours agoLook who's talking. Mr Double Standard. 1) Bash sa... more1) Quote that exact comment showing me "bashing Samsung", if you could then I would apologise. I'll wait.

    2) "Waxy" implied that all the details are excessively smoothed out, which was absolutely not the case in Find X6 Ultra's photo samples - Therefore I disagreed with GSMArena's assessment. It's not my problem that you can't discern good noise reduction algorithms from a bad one because boo-hoo "Reviewer A said B so it must be B". Think before you type.

    3) You didn't refute my point that the slight haziness/bluriness in the telephoto samples of Find X8 Pro could be caused by its shallow depth of field in one of its samples. X7 Ultra didn't show that in its samples because they were shot at a different set of test scenes where the focus was always set to infinity. Again, think before you type.

    4) I've been saying that the biggest benefit of using a Quad Bayer sensor over a traditional Bayer sensor is that it allows you to choose between the low noise/high speed readout (Binned output) and the high resolution readout modes.
    Obviously if you're shooting in 12.5MP mode, it will lose out to a regular 20MP sensor in detail capture, but the former is theoretically less noisy when every other spec of the camera is the same. The same sensor will also outresolve the 20MP sensor when shooting in 50MP mode, provided that it uses mature demosaicing algorithms to interpolate values effectively.
    Once again, think before you type.

    5) So essentially, "Source: Twitter", and you can't even provide a link to the concrete proof🤷 Why am I listening to you again?

    "you would be in favor of the tech if oppo had used the 80-200mm"
    *If the implementation is actually good*, then yes, I would be in favour. If it turns out to be like the mediocre zoom lens on Xperia 1 VI, however, I would straight up dismiss it, regardless of who does it, because I hate it when smartphone manufacturers rely on glaring amount of sharpening to make up for the lack of details.

    "Should partner with nikon instead or canon"
    Assuming that this whole news is true, Vivo is partnering up with Fuji for one obvious reason - Film Simulations. Canon and Nikon are not well known for straight-out-of-camera colours (I would even say that Nikon could get quite unpleasant with skin tone at times) and all the tech they have for autofocusing and others would carry relatively little meaning to a smartphone camera.

    Colours and contrast are what speaks to you right when you see an image; that's why Huawei, Xiaomi and Sharp all partnered up with Leica for their characteristic "Leica look", and Oppo and Vivo put a lot of emphasis on Hasselblad Master Mode and Zeiss Colour Modes, respectively. Fuji has a ton more to offer than Nikon, Canon or Sony when it comes to colour science in photos.

    After all, smartphones are snap shooters, and that's exactly what Fuji is well-regarded for - Their impressive X100 series.

            1) Bash samsung for not having real 45W charging, but makes excuses for Oppo N5 having peak almost 20W below the advertised
            2) Deny the whole wax thing from older oppo phones when even this site said it was waxy.
            3) Made excuse to justify periscope issues of X8 Pro , denying it was software issues ( half baked software) when same periscope was used by x7 ultra without the issues. But same issue seen on 1v periscope to you is lens issues when update changed situation.
            4) on one day you claim with your life that 50MP quadbayer is equivalent to 50MP , then you make excuses to justify why phones with imx989 or lyt900 lose easily to rx100 vi , you use the 20mp of camera as excuse.
            5) blindly believe fast charging does not harm battery and the 1600 cycles marketing, but never explained to everyone here why years ago oppo phone was tested at 10W charging with battery outside the device to get TÜV certified. Stuff posted on Twitter by that Andrew guy from Anandtech that had left the site and was working for Qualcomm


            Everybody here knows you would be in favor of the tech if oppo had used the 80-200mm. Oppo does not use because of price, not because 2 fixed are better.
            Zoom system for phones costs more than 2 primes.

            Problem.is fact that only japanese want to have fuji basically. Not amount of sales. Fuji surely sells more than Leica. Tons want leica, but can't afford.
            Should partner with nikon instead or canon. Much more to offer.

                  Anonymous, 18 hours agoGo see numbers of sales. Fuji is well ranked only in Japan... moreFujifilm is a much smaller company than the big 3. Their production is also much smaller. But whatever they produce, gets sold out almost immediately X100vi is on backorder for months everywhere. Their other cameras are also out of stock almost everywhere. The used market is inflated because of that very much. It is incredibly desirable.
                  So, looking at just sales numbers is naive. You can buy a Sony, Nikon or Canon whereas you may not be able to do so with a Fuji because of the demand.

                        Anonymous, 18 hours agoI wonder how pixel has lifeless shots when google gives muc... moreBecuase Google has been doubling down on the formula that they were praised for almost 10 years ago, that is, crush the darkest tones and apply a lot of noise reduction in shadows to hide noise and artifacts. You know, an approach that is getting extremely stale in 2025 where we have manufacturers who have partnered with dedicated camera makers to stay away from a typical "smartphone-esque" JPEG processing.

                        It's funny how Google Camera ports can produce more usable RAW files than Pixel's own Google Camera app which is absolutely plagued with stacking artifacts and uneven noises.

                          Are their apsc really good? Indeed. But cost basically same compared to entry FF.

Idk how Google processes its raws but the difference will be evident.

Certainly enough, there's a good amount of photographers who also use medium format cameras for landscape scenarios, but most settle with around-50MP sensors as it's a little cheaper and 102MP is a bit overkill for landscape work.

                                      Anonymous, 19 hours agoThey just paid tons of money to Fuji so they could use thei... moreAnd most likely Fuji's Film Simulations which they are highly regarded for. If this story turned out to be actually true, it would be a HUGE win for Vivo.

                                      As someone who recently got X100VI as my day-to-day camera, I must say, their straight-out-of-camera JPEG colours are quite special.

                                      My a7VI, which is my go-to camera for any type of commissioned photography, is overall far more capable for sure. However:

                                      1. Sony is absolutely no match to Fuji when it comes to colour renditions - Sony's Creative Looks are quite limited in customisation options, and they have harsh tonal transitions (e.g. Standard mode clips red into orange/yellow). S-Cinetone is my favourite from Sony because it has a very gentle rendition of shadows and renders highlights more gracefully than any of those Creative Looks presets, but for casual photography, I'll still take my custom Classic Chrome recipe on X100VI any day.

                                      2. Fuji's Dynamic Range Priority is significantly better at balancing tones than Sony's Dynamic Range Optimiser because the former adjusts both highlights and shadows and uses different sensor gain settings if necessary, while the latter only lifts the shadow.

                                      3. There are more options with Fuji's multi-frame HDR options, which also allow you to save a single-frame RAW simultaneously.

                                      4. X100VI supports internal in-camera RAW conversion, while a7VI doesn't.

                                        Fujifilm.
                                        Zeiss also.
                                        Nice.
                                        Vivo uses Fujifilm's X processor?
                                        Why not?
                                        They will still lose to Huawei?
                                        What do you think NFB?
