    brsdrgn, 15 Apr 2025Bro I'll answer your previous comment once I get time.... morei already follow ll techview and wekihome haha

    mark seems interesting thanks i'll check him out and you're right gizmochina's editing is a little weird but their gaming/battery tests and samples are nice

      jiyen235, 15 Apr 2025I've got a few tech channels for you to consider when ... moreBro I'll answer your previous comment once I get time.

      I think I follow most of them already:

      brsdrgn, 14 Apr 2025"Read carefully, i mentioned 6x specifically. The gap ... more"What to read carefully? I'm still talking about 6x! And I'm saying hp9 is still doing better than hp9 especially with the night photography. Did you see Ben's shots? Despite the crop, Hp9 is still better on 15u! That 6x on Oppo needs a good light still."

      oh lol i thought you were saying random things or something cus that point came out of nowhere. And even then, i saw ben's vid and i didnt really see any reason to say the Xiaomi was definitively better. Besides it wasn't low light but rather middling lighting so low light shooting with that sensor remains to be seen.

      "It's been speculated that the new chip will take part in the video production as well. Vivo didn't have gimbal stabilization in all the previous gens as far as I remember. but the video quality got really close to Samsung. I'm hopeful that they might finally come so close not even to Samsung but iPhone's video quality. I put aside the night performance. Vivo was even better than IPhone with that."

      i do hope so as well but im not expecting it at all. Every phone this gen has been highly disappointing imo in terms of videography. Let's wait and see how the Vivo is.

      "I didn't write like you mentioned! Did I say you compared? No. I'm saying it's still a downgrade over generations (focusing on only Oppo) And it's definitely gonna lose against vivo (by focusing on its flagship range) . That's a statement from me! I believe my statements are clear there."

      yeah i get you but you wrote those statements in reply to me and i thought you were replying to something i said instead of just making random statements, or like i thought you were putting words in my mouth or something, my bad. And yeah it's a downgrade but not that big enough of one, in photography at least. The main issue i have is the reduction of the width, it's less wider than before.

      "I'd not say Oppo is king. I'd not even say Vivo is king either. It's just covers most of the parts better than the rest but not always winning in comparisons. Oppo is not a good rounder because of their night shots coming behind. With a good light Oppo definitely putting out best ones due to that color science."

      no phone or camera is truly ever perfect but the Oppo covers a wide range of focal lengths in an extremely easy to use yet likeable manner and thus that's why i think it's so great. Oppo's low light photo processing has been a huge fumble in the past and im really curious to see what they do this year, larger/brighter sensors + more advanced processing.

      "Definitely a preference. I respect everyone makes a difference usage of their device. Honestly, seeing that they could use a better uw and put the main for 35mm has now more probability to be used by others as well. So get ready for batter uws. :) "

      Honestly bro i dont really care too much about the UW cam, i just think an ultra should have a very decent set of cameras and the Find X6 Pro was one of my most fav phones of all time cus of that, all 3 lenses were the best in the industry. And like, I'd rather have a 1/1.12" main 35 mm cam alongside a 1/1.4" or a 1/1.56" UW cam than the current setup. That way the UW cam still gets some love but the main cam reaches a point where, at least imo, it's near indistinguishable from a 1 incher. I think 1/1.12" is the point of diminishing returns and after that the sensor needs to be FAR bigger, like an MFT sized one, to be a real upgrade over a 1 incher. And the jump from 1/1.3" to 1/1.12" is big but the jump from 1/1.12" to 1" is not big at all to me. Imagine a sensor as advanced as the LYT 818 but at a 1/1.12" size. Yeowzers!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯

      and now im replying to your final paras here :

      Listen, i understand your pov but a downgrade is a downgrade. For example, the Find X7 Ultra had a 6x but it just wasn't big enough nor bright enough and the UW cam was downgraded for that, to one which doesnt even have much details. I personally got a little mad about that as it felt like the pros of getting the newer stuff didnt outweigh the cons.

      And now think about it, Vivo's going from one of the pioneers of 1 inchers, with the X90 series, to ditching it. It stung the most with the X200 Pro as this phone had enough space for a 1 incher but they just didn't do it, likely to make the X200 Ultra to look better. Additionally, people got used to Chinese phones having larger sensors since 2021, with the Mi 11 Ultra, and now Vivo's ditching that, people looked to Chinese phone for better hardware yet now they're getting fed "better software", just like what Google and others are touting. It's a downgrade, no matter how you slice it.

      I won't say it's bad tho, on the contrary, it's the best 1/1.3" class shooter in the market and the sensor is strikingly close to the LYT-900 for the most part. However, software still can't make up for raw hardware and the LYT-900, at least to me, is easily superior. Saw some samples here which proved it for me and saw some comparisons online which just further solidified my line of thinking. Larger sensors just have more depth, look nicer and feel nicer, there's just something about em that just looks.... effortless. I don't get those vibes from the LYT 818, it looks small/smaller, it looks like a 1/1.3" sensor, my gut just instantly went "that's NOT a 1 incher" when i saw the X200 Ultra's UW cam/35 mm night samples.

      I said all that just to illustrate to you WHY someone might be mad at the change and i'd say they're somewhat right. Because what Vivo is doing is NOT orthodox, they're breaking from the mold and going to the niche route of making a 35 mm cam, i mean how many other phones have a 35 mm sensor? So yeah. As someone who does NOT like shooting at 24 mm, this is a dream come true. But anyone who doesn't really understand photography and how physics works (that is, how much space is realistically available on a phone for this stuff), is gonna complain for no reason.

      I, for one, welcome this change, as it brings much needed diversity in the market, gives more choices to consumer and is just a nice feature to have at the end of the day. If someone wants orthodox, easy shooting that's better than the Samsungs, the Find X8 Ultra is there. If someone wants a photography machine, they have the Vivo now. 3 excellent focal lengths alongside Vivo's absurd processing.

      I'm just depressed about the Fujifilm collab being a fake rumour lol. Imagine if Vivo adds some more color styles and makes something similar to Leica Authentic, Leica Vibrant, Oppo's Auto Mode or Oppo's Master Mode. That'd be exceptional i'd say. Even tho they're all "vibrant" styles by default each manufacturer takes a vastly different path and i love all of their takes for the most part. Oppo and Vivo generally win the most, due to their consistency and the general fine tuning of their algorithms being world class.

      Oh yeah speaking of, i forgot to say that whatever you may think of Oppo, one thing is undeniable for me and that's the beauty of Oppo's portrait mode. They simply have the best portrait mode in the industry, the colours, the bokeh, the edge detection, the lens selection, it's all just perfect...

        jiyen235, 14 Apr 2025"Why? I already mentioned the 6x is barely keeping up ... more"Read carefully, i mentioned 6x specifically. The gap between 3.7x and 6x is far too big to be reliably covered, the HP9 is mighty impressive but without a 2x sensor crop/at 10x/without being at the native focal length i highly doubt it can properly go toe to toe with the newer sensor that also has a faster aperture in the Find X8 Ultra."

        What to read carefully? I'm still talking about 6x! And I'm saying hp9 is still doing better than hp9 especially with the night photography. Did you see Ben's shots? Despite the crop, Hp9 is still better on 15u! That 6x on Oppo needs a good light still.

        " All of that doesn't mean much, the additional chip is only for pre-processing which would just allow the post processing to not degrade the image further i assume. The previous Vivos had gimbal stabilization yet it all still wasn't enough as they outdid that in the future
        with optimised EIS+OIS. However, I've seen video samples of the Oppo and i'm not at all impressed, im disappointed actually. Apart from the main cam, it's just not that great. This generation has highly disappointing videography in phones."

        It's been speculated that the new chip will take part in the video production as well. Vivo didn't have gimbal stabilization in all the previous gens as far as I remember. but the video quality got really close to Samsung. I'm hopeful that they might finally come so close not even to Samsung but iPhone's video quality. I put aside the night performance. Vivo was even better than IPhone with that.


        "I didn't compare the UW cam of the Find X8 Ultra to the X200 Ultra as it is a foolish endeavour. Ofc the X200 Ultra is going to be better. My point was about the photos compared to the previous ones and i dont really think it's a massive downgrade. Somewhat of a sidestep. It has more details and similar noise levels but the filmic quality of a larger sensor is lost. Larger sensors have more depth to shots naturally and the new sensor doesn't have that. I said something similar in the Find X8 Ultra vs Find X7 Ultra article given here. I stand by that. I think the JN5 is advanced enough to allow it to take amazing photographs, due to proper processing. However this sensor cannot do it all, the sensor's small size rears its ugly head in video. Absolutely pathetic. I first thought it was a midranger but no it was actually the find x8 ultra whose video was being shown."

        I didn't write like you mentioned! Did I say you compared? No. I'm saying it's still a downgrade over generations (focusing on only Oppo) And it's definitely gonna lose against vivo (by focusing on its flagship range) . That's a statement from me! I believe my statements are clear there.


        "Well there you go, you're a UW cam advocate whereas most people are usually using the zoom cam or the main cam. Which is why i specifically talked about the native focal lengths of the Oppo where I think it'll excel, 24 mm, 70 mm and 135mm. As it is right now it's the best for general AND portrait photography at these specific focal lengths. Advantage of both native focal length with good sensor selections AND astounding processing."

        It's also been speculated Vivo covers all the focal lengths well with this generation. We're going to see. I'm looking forward to comparisons.

        "Oppo is the king of photography for the majority I'd say, due to the lens selection provided, and even if someone doesn't like the style, they cant say it's bad at all. That's why it's the best, you might not love it but it's without a doubt good and worthy of praise."

        I'd not say Oppo is king. I'd not even say Vivo is king either. It's just covers most of the parts better than the rest but not always winning in comparisons. Oppo is not a good rounder because of their night shots coming behind. With a good light Oppo definitely putting out best ones due to that color science.

        " I personally use a zoom over the main cam almost always, 1.5-2x and a 3-3.5x zoom on my phone so the X200 Ultra is damn near perfect for my use case due to the provision of an amazing 35 mm cam and the best zoom lens in the industry probably (yet again LOL). I however respect the way Oppo's handled 3 of its lenses, they're great and they're the best lenses at these 3 focal lengths in the whole industry, bar none. It's just unfortunate that Vivo's zooming processing is the best in the industry and can easily put Oppo to shame for the most part despite "only" having an 85mm camera. And i dont mind the UW cam downgrade too much myself but for an Ultra, and especially one which imo had the best UW cam of all time with the Find X7 Ultra, this one is a disgrace. Considering the fact that the Oneplus 13 and even the Vivo V50 use it as a UW cam LOL"

        Definitely a preference. I respect everyone makes a difference usage of their device. Honestly, seeing that they could use a better uw and put the main for 35mm has now more probability to be used by others as well. So get ready for batter uws. :)


        "You sadly come off as that lol. I personally dont think you hate Oppo but rather you love Vivo so much that any praise of Oppo/an opposition is seen as an insult for Vivo by you and thus you go ahead and attack others. Just remember that different people have different tastes and the 3 Ultras we have this year, the 15 Ultra, the X200 Ultra and the Find X8 Ultra are all basically equally as good and it's all about what type of a phone/camera kit someone prefers.

        and thank you for not attacking me or anything/giving me the benefit of the doubt. I'm actually grateful for stuff like that. Love me some civilized peeps. Hope you dont take what i said as an attack and instead think of it as some objective/emotionless yapping lol im a little blunt most of the times."

        My problem is the fanatic people. You've probable seen those repetitive arguments like : 'China only', 'no lytia 900 so trash!', 'who needs uw, stpd move from vivo' etc.

        Those comments are triggering me because I watched maybe hundreds of comparisons. Why vivo comes in top almost in all of them? I try to follow the reviewers who are doing a good job at being objective and putting a good side by side photo.

        Trashing the phone with bs statements triggering me. Because I don't trash their phone brand like this. I look at the photos then point out the inferior parts. This should be done by everyone. Saying lyt818 is bad without seeing a comparison between x100u vs x200p is ridiculous to me. We both know x200u should be even used due to having SD SoC. Yet, even with x200p, the outcome is neck a neck. Idk how many comments I've seen here and on x. It gets boring after some time because we don't focus on the real stuff to criticize later. Vivo tries sth completely different and I'm one of those welcoming the change rather than standing against it.

          brsdrgn, 10 Apr 2025"the vivo will have an inferior main cam in low light ... more"Why? I already mentioned the 6x is barely keeping up with hp9 on 15u. Vivo uses hp9 too and it's been improved based on the reliable tipsters!"

          Read carefully, i mentioned 6x specifically. The gap between 3.7x and 6x is far too big to be reliably covered, the HP9 is mighty impressive but without a 2x sensor crop/at 10x/without being at the native focal length i highly doubt it can properly go toe to toe with the newer sensor that also has a faster aperture in the Find X8 Ultra.

          "There's an additional chip on the top of v3+ so of course vivo is going to take crown. Plus the OIS on UW!"

          All of that doesn't mean much, the additional chip is only for pre-processing which would just allow the post processing to not degrade the image further i assume. The previous Vivos had gimbal stabilization yet it all still wasn't enough as they outdid that in the future
          with optimised EIS+OIS. However, I've seen video samples of the Oppo and i'm not at all impressed, im disappointed actually. Apart from the main cam, it's just not that great. This generation has highly disappointing videography in phones.

          "May not be terrible like you say and could be considered as a downgrade over the generations. But I've seen night shots with it and the noise is bad. The size difference considerably big now seeing what vivo will use. 1/2.76 vs 1/1.28. Big big difference!"

          I didn't compare the UW cam of the Find X8 Ultra to the X200 Ultra as it is a foolish endeavour. Ofc the X200 Ultra is going to be better.

          "Honestly, I'd nit say oppo is the king with anything apart from their processing and natural tone. I always liked their not overly done photos and that natural color tones in the subjects. My usage mostly goes to the main cam but UW is handy too in many situations. Honestly the periscope is the one I use the least, only comes handy if I'm at a concert or in a zoo."

          Well there you go, you're a UW cam advocate whereas most people are usually using the zoom cam or the main cam.

          "I shouldn't come out an Oppo opposition. I was seriously considering it this year. I just don't like when people are defending it to a level of being fanatics. I put you aside. I've seen your balanced comments. I criticize vivo whenever I see their mistake. But the good things they've done should be emphasized too. Vivo has been doing it increasingly well during the last years."

I'll wait though until later to make a judgement (after the proper reviews from actual purchasers come out). I wouldn't write it off is all I'm saying. My original point though was not even about the quality so I think we've veered in a different direction. It was about the camera bump being smaller and the phone being more comfortable to hold as you said the Xiaomi had less space due to the HP9 sensor so I just pointed out the sensor sizes to illustrate that that was not the case. That's what I was focusing on when highlighting the sensor sizes.

                      Aierlan, 12 Apr 2025I saw a few comparisons with the 14 ultra and 15 ultra wher... morethe 3x because that's the one that kicks in between 3x and 6x and the 6x because that's the one that the hp9 is being used at.

                      My main point was that despite the larger sensor it's still not gonna be enough to dethrone the HP9. Even the X200 Pro is just gonna be better.

                      You're coping a bit too hard about the Oppo. Look at the 3x shots provided here, specifically the portrait of the lady who's sitting with the lamps. Then look at the left side of her hair. There's some ugly noise/artifacting going on. That's the problem of this being an older sensor. Noise floor/processing potential just isn't up to par. Sure it's better than the Xiaomi at 3x, sure it's better than any other phone but apart from this intermediate lens, the X200 Pro is just a better zoom shooter, the Xiaomi is better at its native and longer focal lengths than even the Oppo and the Vivo will be even better.

                      But yeah let's wait for proper comparisons. I'm actually surprised we got so much BEFORE the phone released lol

                        jiyen235, 12 Apr 2025i saw ben's gadget reviews' photos. The HP9 MOGS ... moreI saw a few comparisons with the 14 ultra and 15 ultra where the 15 ultra performed better in lowlight. But basically there is not much difference between these two sensors. Ben's review only showed about 1 10x photo comparison between the two phones (which I think looked better on the OPPO) and comparisons between the two 3x cameras where OPPO absolutely outclassed Xiaomi and comparisons between 4.3x and 6x which you can't even compare due to the different focal lengths. There is only one 6x comparison in lowlight and yeah I would expect the Xiaomi to be better for long range zoom at night. Really it depends on the focal length though and lighting. Xiaomi will be better at certain zoom levels and OPPO will be better at other zoom levels. How can the HP9 outclass the 3x shots when it can't take 3x shots? TBH you can't tell much from this anyway as he doesn't give many samples at all. Better for us both to wait for the more indepth comparisons from the better reivewers instead to form a conclusion.
