    OriginOS X100/X100 Pro Users, could you help to confirm if the Blue Heart AI Assistant (V) (enable in the Jovi settings) works outside of China? I heard that some OriginOS Services / Apps will face 'unable to connect to network' or 'error try again' issues outside of china network.

    Would appreciate if users could help confirm this. This is the only deciding factor for me to choose to go with Global or China ROM.
    Much appreciated!

It does give a impression of charging fast but if I put a stopwatch it charges 100% in a little less than an hour. It's not that bad but it might be one of the criterias someone would buy it, that's why I'm emphasizing it. Also, in the chinese version, with OriginOS, apps like Island or Shelter (to add a access to a second profile inside the same Android profile) doesn't work 100% (maybe because it's Android 14 since I worked perfectly in Androids 10, 11 and 12 in my old phones: Oneplus 7T and Sony Xperia 5 ii but IDK).

            Pixel 8 Pro, iPhone15PM, they are lesser camera than VivoX100 Pro or Vivo X90PP, also lesser than X13U (140 on dxo and Mi 11 Ultra 141).

                  Those who already bought this phone please provide genuine review:

                  People have now choice to choose between x100 pro or S24 series phone.
                  So they can take proper decision. If phone is too bulky or not worth they can have better option.

                  check below things
                  1) overheating
                  2) ergonimics to hold
                  3) battery life
                  4) performance
                  5) camera

                  overall experience.

                    Bought (also based on this review) and the charging time doesn't match for me. It took about 50min from ~10% to 100%, twice.
                    Despite that fact, I'm liking the phone (it's the Chinese version with OriginOS - had to do some easy configurations to get rid of Chinese characters only "widgets"). Didn't have the courage to try to debloat it with ADB, afraid to break the firmware since the seller avoided all my questions related to where can I get the stock firmware...
                    Camera is very good!

                      Shamrock Sean, 07 Jan 2024Google doesn't over process that's Apple and Samsung I'd have told you to take a raw photo and compare but Google processes the raw photos as well so lmao nothing much to say. Google's overprocessing is just as much as Apple's if not more, but it's not unpleasant like Samsung, it looks good but does give off the overprocessed look.

                            Ok so they should bill this as the best camera phone, for people who don't care about selfies.

                              can the video shoot at 480fps / 960fps?
                              or even higher fps?

                                From their vivo X60 Pro review:

                                "the bare minimum of text to draw unnecessary attention, plus the tiniest of Zeiss logos - it's a design language vivo already got right with the X50 series, and it hasn't changed much for this generation."

                                LMAO, well it's sad to say Vivo has gone backwards in this regard 🤣
                                The irony when their phones from nearly three years ago looked cleaner than today 🤣


                                From this review:
                                "there's the lens specs in the offset bottom ring, plus a cursive 'Xtreme Imagination' below the camera bump, and then a larger vivo logo towards the bottom, complete with regulatory inscriptions. A bit much."

                                  I have a different "original" source (Sohail?) it may be a repost but appear these unverified, unsubstantiated stories are originally faked on X then picked up and reported as if FACT!
                                  Today 26/12/23 the offending video is still up, I have isolated it from list of X100 videos.

The iPhone being the worst and the Pixel and Vivo are comparable as they're overprocessing different things. Vivo smooths out the noise whereas Google sharpens up the photo more and maybe takes longer/has a longer exposure leading to blurrier photos due to the motion. Both Google and Vivo's phones lose detail, it might be that the Vivo is a tad bit overexposed/brighter than real life that results in a bit more washed out photo. The one thing I will agree on is the overprocessed photos of zoomed shots, they get noticeably more overprocessed as you zoom in more, saw some samples from a few tech channels and a few untouched samples. The overprocessing is slight oversharpening (not worse than Apple) and smoothing out textures a tad bit too much (just like Google).
                                    You can say you like the Google's output due to its color science and its exposure, but to say that the Vivo is worse than Apple and Google is just plain wrong. If you think Google's photos are natural you need a real camera. Google's photos have nicer colors, not natural processing. Stuff looks AI generated sometimes on Google and Apple's phones.

                                        The X100 Pro clearly loses texture detail as it eliminates noise. For me, that's not a good balance, since you can never recover the lost texture detail. But I guess if you look at pics on a phone or a tablet, it looks great.
