Hey, I've recently noticed an issue with the stock gallery app on FuntouchOS and OriginOS where the colors displayed are very washed out when compared to when images are seen on 3rd party galleries or editing software.

I have posted images on r/vivo and r/VivoX100Pro, and have sent a ticket to the OriginOS side of support to signal the issue.

It's hard to get the word out and so far I've seen 6 out of 7 users affected by it, which is hard to extrapolate to a larger pourcentage but it seems to be a widespread issue that went unseen!

    GSMArena need to update the selfie camera specs since there was a new update in Origin and Funtouch OS that enables 4K recording on the selfie cam

      OnePlus 12 kinda killed this phone tbh

      You can buy a 1TB 16GB OP12 for cheaper than 512GB Vivo X100 Pro. They really need to check their prices.

        copenhagen72, 03 Apr 2024If you have a problems with making photos of an A4 papers, ... moreI doesn't help much. You are loosing details that way and it looks worse than on my old phone. The more I compare photos, the more I am glad I had returned it. There is something wrong with the photo processing anyway. It makes strange "halo" everywhere on lots of objects, near or far, that other phones do not do.

              I returned mine back because it couldn't even take any close shot clear and crisp. Impossible to take a picture of A4 letter that my 5YO phone is able to. With any lens. When shooting from say 40-50cm distance with main lens, it is a blurry mess and objects have strange halo around them. Every picture looked like I needed glasses or something, not pleasant to look at them.

              Other than that, the main sensor is quite good even in low light conditions and 2x zoom. Providing you don't take any close-ups that is. I liked their processing approach, no over the top de-noising and image looks softer rather over-processed mess (oil painting).

              Telephoto is great too, capable of very nice macros. Some pictures were really sick.

              Then there is an ultrawide camera. Rather useless waste of space. They should have used some normal wide lens with a bigger sensor capable of crisps close-ups. That would be a killer triple camera setup for me.

              Battery is insanely good, soc doesn't extremely heat up. The phone is fast. Camera focus fast, it takes pictures like a machine gun. Yes, the back on the asteroid black variant is slippery. Curves are nice to hold in hand. Curved screen is kind of ok I guess. At least you don't get stuck on screen protector using gestures which is nice. GSM signal is ok, GPS signal ok, no problems with bluetooth and USB file transfer fast as well.

              I really liked that phone, maybe one day, then next model...

                proUser, 19 Mar 2024Using this device from last 3 days 1) fantastic camera 2)... moreUsually battery gets a bit better with time since it "learns" your behaviour and how you use the phone. At least that was my experience on my past few phones.

                  Kindly update the comparison section as many Flagships are now available including Xiaomi 14 Ultra as well as Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

                    Using this device from last 3 days
                    1) fantastic camera
                    2) best and fast charging
                    3) OS experience is good not best
                    4) Speaker volume is low (less loud)
                    5) Battery drain is faster than expected ( even high cap. battery it lasts day or less)

                    I expect more battery optimization needed to utilize this high capacity battery to run at least 1.5day without worry.

                    Only main cons I face is it heats early using camera/video for atleast 10-15min and battery drain is high compare to other devices. But for that fast charger is blessfull. But they need more and better thermal control

                                With the original charger, it didn't work (1 hour for 0-100% recharge). Alternative 120w charger worked (30min for 0-100%)

                                      Mine only shows notifications from some apps and other (majority) don't show notifications at all. IDK if it's something with OriginOS or with Android 14.
