0:00 Speaker A: So elegant, like so premium. Speaker B: This is an exemplary smartphone, a potent camera powerhouse. Speaker C: This doesn't look like it was taken with a phone. Speaker D: Welcome back to re review where we watch all the reviews so you don't have to. Speaker D: Today we're going to dive into the new flagship Vivo X300 Pro and especially exploring the Wild View photography kit. Speaker E: The Pro finally has a straight screen. Speaker E: The X200 Pro had a slightly curved screen. Speaker E: This generation is seriously much better looking than the last one, guys.
0:28 Speaker D: The flat display dramatically alters the physical experience, which reviewers found generally positive for handling. Speaker F: But I do know there are a lot of people who prefer completely flat screen. Speaker F: So good for you guys. Speaker F: You guys win. Speaker F: But the completely blocky design does make the phone a little bit easier to grip than say, previous curvy Android phones like the X100 Pro or the X90 Pro. Speaker E: The metal frame, the texture is invincible. Speaker A: Really my first impression is, wow, this is like so delicate, so elegant, like so premium.
0:59 Speaker A: With this kind of matte middle meter frame, it just feels polished, you know, really refined. Speaker A: Feels awesome. Speaker D: The physical dimensions confirm its status as a sizable flagship. Speaker D: But Vivo has refined the look of the camera model. Speaker G: So this is the light brown version, or they just state it as brown. Speaker G: So you got a brown, a black, a blue and a white. Speaker G: It weighs 226 grams, so the weight of it, it feels a little bit hefty, but it's not a heavy phone.
1:27 Speaker G: I think it's a standard kind of weight for the size of this phone being 6.78 inches. Speaker E: The lens module seamlessly connects to the back panel, minimizing protrusions for a comfortable grip. Speaker D: Key hardware additions also improve security and access. Speaker G: And an optical, sorry, ultrasonic fingerprint readers. Speaker H: On the right side you get a volume rocker, an unlock button at the bottom, your speake, USB C port, SIM tray, and then.
1:57 Speaker H: Ooh, what does this button do? Speaker H: Ah, vibration mode or double tap for flashlight. Speaker I: What's also exclusive to the Pro is a new shortcut button which can be customized to your liking. Speaker I: But there's no camera control button like we saw with the X200 Ultra. Speaker D: And finally, what do you actually get inside the box? Speaker A: We have this up to 19 watts fast charger, a type A to type C cable, and that's basically the unboxing.
2:29 Speaker F: And a USB C cable and no charger. Speaker F: Okay, no charger in the box this year. Speaker B: I love it. Speaker B: Comes with the case and then it's got a built in screen protector as well. Speaker B: So that's also nice. Speaker D: Reviewers found the chipset offered flagship performance with highly impressive efficiency, especially for gaming. Speaker I: Both the X300 and Pro get the upgraded Dimensity 9500 CPU which is supposedly 30% more efficient, while multitasking has 17% higher multicore and 32% higher single core.
2:57 Speaker J: Performance built on TSMC's 3nm process boasts an AnTuTu score exceeding 4.12 million at room temperature. Speaker J: GPU performance surpasses that of the Apple A19 Pro and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 with 40% lower power consumption for high load gaming Storage speeds keep pace. Speaker D: With demanding performance requirements. Speaker J: The top of the line model debuts dual UFS 4.1 quad channel storage delivering read and write speeds of 8.6 gigabytes per second, a 70% increase.
3:31 Speaker G: You can see that the sequential reads almost 4,000 sequential rights there, three and a half thousand really good. Speaker G: And the random access speeds both reads and writes quite high there too. Speaker D: On the software front, the global adoption of Origin OS 6 brings improvements, though it retains some characteristics of previous software. Speaker G: Origin OS is now global, so that means Fun Touch, goodbye, gone. Speaker G: For the global versions, I would describe.
3:57 Speaker F: It as like 75% origin OS and still 25% fun touch because there's still some elements here that feels a little bit Fun Touch E to me, you don't get all the customization that the Origin OS China version gets, and the animations in the original China version is still a little bit more smoother, more fluid, but hopefully Vivo can fix that down the line. Speaker F: But you do get the interactive widgets that Origin OS has been having for a few years.
4:24 Speaker F: And then because this is a global version, you have access to all of Google's AI features. Speaker F: So Gemini is here by default. Speaker F: You have generative AI, photo editing and much better voice transcription than you would get out of the China version of Vivo devices. Speaker B: And it has a 200 megapixel camera but not a 200 megapixel primary camera. Speaker B: It's a 200 megapixel telephoto camera on here. Speaker D: This focus on telephoto zoom is paired with significant upgrades across the other lenses utilizing the Zeiss partnership effectively three of.
4:54 Speaker G: Them there so they're 50 megapixels for the Ultra wide. Speaker G: In the main camera, the Zeiss T Star coating is present, a periscopic 200 megapixel camera which has an f, an aperture of f 2.67 and they call this the Zeiss APO telephoto camera. Speaker G: And then we have the gimbal grade main camera. Speaker G: 50 Megapixels so that is a Sony LYT 828 sensor and it's f 1.57.
5:23 Speaker G: So quite a bright, quite a fast. Speaker H: An ultra stabilization mode. Speaker H: You have Dolby Vision and you can also shoot up until 8k 30fps, 4k 3060 or 120fps. Speaker H: Yeah. Speaker D: The optional photography kit received a major overhaul addressing previous mechanical shortcomings to improve the user's experience of specialized teleconverter.
5:48 Speaker H: I noticed that the parts are now magnetic, so it's easier to mount the external lens. Speaker H: And there's nfc. Speaker H: So when you attach the lens, you automatically find the mode that you need to be using. Speaker C: A lot slimmer and a lot less heavy than the other one. Speaker C: Much less wiggle on that to compare, here's the original. Speaker C: You can actually hear it. Speaker C: Here's the teleconverter itself, which looks about the same.
6:15 Speaker G: It locks into place and locks in fact into the case. Speaker G: So it's very secure there and it gives us that two stage button. Speaker G: And at the top you have some controls there. Speaker G: So we can use this there for the zoom to start recording and different options to adjust. Speaker G: For example, example, maybe the shutter rate. Speaker D: Vivo's computational photography excels in tricky scenarios, offering clarity and accurate color science compared to major competitors. Speaker E: In terms of clarity, the Vivo still holds a slight advantage over the Xiaomi.
6:43 Speaker E: The iPhone and Vivo's main camera have similar tolerances. Speaker E: With the Xiaomi slightly lagging behind. Speaker E: In terms of detail, the iPhone suffers from the most over sharpening. Speaker E: Overall, the best performance is still the Vivo. Speaker E: The results of this shot aren't significantly different from the previous one, demonstrating Vivo's years of experience in portraiture and their overall performance across various scenarios. Speaker F: Now you can do that with the X200 Ultra too.
7:09 Speaker F: But the X300 Pro can do a better job because apparently they're using some image stacking technology so that you get a shot that is very detailed. Speaker F: Like check out right here. Speaker F: I took a portrait of my friend TK and look at how far you can zoom in on the photo. Speaker D: The telephoto performance, especially at longer distances, shows Vivo's dedicated hardware advantage. Speaker I: At the iPhone's max 40x zoom, things look pretty bad when seeing it side by side against the Vivo at the.
7:35 Speaker E: Same focal length at 3.5 times zoom. Speaker E: With the Vivo's Periscope telephoto lens enabled, image quality is a notch higher than the other two phones. Speaker E: Even with the other two phones also using Periscope telephoto, the differences between the three phones are minimal. Speaker E: And in fact, the Vivo's image quality is even better upon closer inspection. Speaker D: The fundamental difference in image aesthetic comes from leveraging the teleconverter, which dramatically improves the usability of advanced shooting modes.
8:01 Speaker C: With the X300 Pro. Speaker C: Now we just got this little button. Speaker C: You should have basically all the same settings that you're used to from the default camera app. Speaker C: In video mode, we can record in log and we can also record in 4K120. Speaker C: So that's a massive, massive upgrade. Speaker C: Here's 250 millimeters, which is the next button I've got in this mode. Speaker C: So with the teleconverter attached, we start at 200 millimeters and we have three buttons we can push out to 400, 600 and 800 millimeters.
8:35 Speaker C: But yeah, lovely depth to this image. Speaker C: Like I was saying on the last one, it's, it's just got that kind of 3D pop to it. Speaker C: Now this is the same shot taken at 200 mil without the teleconverter attached, but nowhere near as appealing as with the teleconverter attached. Speaker I: It's also insane how well it performs in low lit situations. Speaker I: It managed to capture incredible detail of whatever I focused on and gave a proper DSLR look to anything not in focus.
9:03 Speaker J: And a large 6510 milliamp hour battery with 90 watt fast charging delivers a tested battery life of 12 hours. Speaker D: However, it is essential to note that the maximum battery capacity varies significantly based on the region of the device. Speaker F: So this is the global version, the EU version, and a battery in here, it's only 5,440 milliamp hours. Speaker F: This is still larger than we get from an iPhone or Pixel, but this is relatively small compared to what we're going to get from Honor or Oppo or what Xiaomi is already giving us.
9:33 Speaker D: Regardless of the specific number. Speaker D: Some reviewers noted that compared to key competitors in the Chinese market, Vivo's overall capacity lacks significantly, even if it's sufficient for a full day of use. Speaker K: But considering the Xiaomi, 17 of the same size packs a 7000mAh battery, the X300 clearly falls behind in battery parts. Speaker D: Not every sensor received an upgrade, and the kit demands a trade off in portability. Speaker F: Now, the Ultra Wide camera, it's not as good as the X200 Ultra because the X200 Ultra is ultra wide.
10:01 Speaker F: It's the same sensor as the main camera, the 818, but here it's going with a JN1 sensor. Speaker F: Much smaller sensor size of 1 over 2.7 inch but hey, it's only a downgrade in ultrawide. Speaker F: If you compare against the X200 Ultra which has the best in class Ultra wide. Speaker F: If you compare this ultra wide against any other phone, the hardware is still very much up there. Speaker G: Yes, it's very heavy, the weight of having the lens on there, it's bulky, it's not really practical.
10:26 Speaker K: The camera module remains very prominent, only slightly shorter than the X200 Ultra's. Speaker K: While not everyone likes the camera control button, those who do will probably dislike the X300 Pro. Speaker D: For those considering upgrading, the consensus is that it's a highly polished iterative step forward rather than a massive generational leap. Speaker F: If you go into the X300 Pro expecting a generational jump over the X200 Ultra, you're going to be disappointed because this phone it's an iterative small update.
10:55 Speaker F: Refinement on the X200 despite these factors,. Speaker D: The pricing makes the X300 Pro a standout option for imported flagship cameras. Speaker L: The best camera setup on any mobile phone under £1,000 guaranteed. Speaker L: The Vivo X300 Pro Chinese ROM for now global will be out in about eight weeks I believe, but the Chinese ROM starts at £709.
11:22 Speaker L: I have trawled through all the other smaller import stores and I am the cheapest around for you with a 14 day return policy. Speaker D: The Vivo X300 Pro is a potent camera powerhouse that focuses on intelligent refinement over radical change. Speaker D: Its new design is highly praised for its flat screen and improved grip, while performance is stellar and efficient thanks to the new chip. Speaker D: The key differentiating factor is the specialized camera system.
11:48 Speaker D: The 200 megapixel telephoto is exceptional and the physical photography kit is vastly improved featuring magnetic attachment, superior stability and finally bringing in advanced video features like the 4K120 log recording teleconverter lens. Speaker D: While potential buyers should be aware of regional battery capacity variations and the inherent bulk required for using the full kit, the image quality and professional features are currently unmatched, particularly in the sub $1,000 import market.
12:16 Speaker D: Here's you should be looking at the X300 Pro if you demand the highest optical zoom quality and deep DSLR like compression for artistic shots and you plan to frequently use the now refined external photography kit. Speaker D: This phone is a mandatory upgrade if you want absolute top tier camera and processing performance in a package that undercuts competitors like the Huawei Pura 80 Ultra by hundreds of pounds. Speaker D: The imported Chinese ROM offers phenomenal value if you are drawn to the Pro features but prefer portability, the standard X300 is a compelling alternative.
12:47 Speaker D: It retains many high end features like the ultrasonic sensor and LTPO display in a much smaller, highly efficient 6.3 inch body. Speaker D: Thank you very much for watching this ultimate roundup review of the Vivo X300 Pro.
