    Because in this review it seems the x 100 ultra is getting better quality than the x200 pro

    Pro but I'm guessing you're just talking about the telephoto

      Vasra, 27 Oct 2024Thanks for posting this, great work. Is this a computed ... moreThanks.

      Of course it would be better to actually measure the resolution directly, but this is just the relative maximum number of pixels per angle (without binning) and that's proportional to focal length / pixel size. For example, the Vivo X100 Ultra's periscope camera has a focal length of 22.48mm (this is noted in the exif data) and a pixel size of 0.56 micrometer.
      The effective diameter is focal length / f-number, so in this case 22.48mm/2.67 = 8.42mm

      Algorithms like demosaicing (or when binning is used) can influence the results very much, so the real world performance can be very different.

      As 30x travel zoom cameras aren't sold anymore, I hope that the dng files of future smartphone tele cameras will be able to compete with them regarding distant objects.

        Eduard33, 27 Oct 2024Oh yeah I saw those graphs as well. It does look like it ge... morei think Wild Life Extreme is too heavy so it throttled early and reduced temps?

        or maybe the ambient temp was high.

          jiyen235, 27 Oct 2024and compared to the Find X8 Pro and Xiaomi 15 Pro, this is ... moreOh yeah I saw those graphs as well. It does look like it gets hotter in his review but also squeezes more performance as seen in his benchmarks test. Maybe gsm didn't test in its maximum performance mode or maybe had some kind of limit?

            Anonymous, 27 Oct 2024One thing apple does well is the fact 16 pro and 16 pro max... moreShame about the usb part, but vivo just can't fit the hp9 into the mini. Apple can get away with it because they use a ridiculously small sensor for the periscope

              Bravemars, 27 Oct 2024...and in many ways it feels like a downgrade. I'm hap... moreAnd it's probably a good decision, but the only real downgrade is the smaller main camera but not in every aspect, as video is superior. Other than that the x200 pro is an overall better device

                One thing apple does well is the fact 16 pro and 16 pro max have same internals except battery.
                The 200 pro mini has usb 2.0 and loses hp9 periscope.

                  Barti, 27 Oct 2024They gave poor cameras to leave room for the ULTRA model. N... moreby what standard is this camera setup poor? yes it has some flaws ........sorry but i dont think everyone wants a behemoth size phone in their pockets (the size and also the specs) in their daily usage
                  this phone is best middle ground between good vanilla model to the overkill ultra model
                  and the price for this phone is the best part only 850$ for 16/1T on chinese model is awsome
                  the ultra model starts from at least 850 to 900$

                    They gave poor cameras to leave room for the ULTRA model. Now buying the x100 pro model makes more sense because it has good cameras and is cheap. As an X100P owner I can recommend it, and personally I'm waiting for the X300P model, which I hope will be refined in every way.

                      this phone only has 3 flaws
                      1)the cameras Blue sun ray problem(it is real you can see it in yt camera tests)
                      2)software isnt as efficient and optimized as other brands like honor and samsung and Si/C battery tech isnt as advanced and efficient as honors
                      3)not many people know this phone exists
                      other than that its one of my favorite top 10 phones

                        Yeah, this is not the best phone on the market, some people are too quick to judge this as the best phone on the market.

                          It's hard to imagine that Vivo would put the X200 series at such an early point in time.Compared to the past, we can see that the X200 series has some new ingenuity in the arrangement of models. The newly added Pro mini positioning is not only a new surprise choice for consumers, but also adds another tier to the traditional structure of “medium, large and extra large cups”, under which the relatively traditional “Pro” positioning will undoubtedly usher in more challenges. More challenges will undoubtedly come under this premise.

                            This is at least the best phone VIVO has ever produced.

                              Is this a computed resolution based on sensor size, or actual resolved pixels/lines , taking into account the whole lens stack, the Bayer filter, the actiaö sensor and the DSP/software stack that processes the incoming raw image data?

                              When looking at actual shot real-life resolution charts (video and still) that's what matters to me.

                                Ottonis, 27 Oct 2024So, in a nutshell: The X200pro brings the stellar 200MP, 1/... moreX200 Pro has REGRESSION in camera performance in some areas over X100 Pro (not Ultra). This is not "job well done". The new and more expensive model is supposed to be better, not partially inferior.

                                  indlvarn, 27 Oct 2024So what is purpose of 2x2, less costs?Probably. It supposedly has better focus in low light but doesn't do well in high res and sensor crop for zoom though

                                    Vasra, 27 Oct 2024They review based on what is delivered to them and what is ... moreThis phone is already in the review process with DXOMARK. They announced that they are currently testing it last week on their Weibo channel

                                      barti, 27 Oct 2024Is dxomark sleeping? They put on 1-day review phones like i... moreThey review based on what is delivered to them and what is paid for.

                                      They don't go out and procure phones on their own and test them out of the goodness of their heart.

                                      If you send a phone to them and pay for the test, they'll review it.

                                        What a let down in the cam department. Here's hoping the 2025 "ultra" variants from Vivo, Oppo and Xiaomi with the superior Snapdragon 8 Elite are clearly better.
