What do you think was the best overall? Note that both the Vivo X100 Pro and Xiaomi 14 Ultra got brand new software updates just in time for this comparison. The Vivo and Honor are global versions, the Xiaomi 14 Ultra is the Chinese variant.

For the skies, there's a toggle in Vivo camera app that goes "enhance night skies", turn that off to get black skies with no noise. ❤❤ Great comparison, as always. Love from India.

As a Vivo X100Pro user I can confirm that the night time shots need the blue tone to be reduced post production. Other than that it takes some jaw-dropping pictures. Especially in portrait mode.

Great review as always, Chris! That Vivo x100 Pro is really leaning towards that Social Media quality that requires no more post processing before uploading. Straight up capture and upload. Regardless, all phones are bangers!

Hey Chris, what phone do you actually use yourself on a daily basis?

Thank you for this beautiful review. I expect Xiaomi to follow steady steps in developing itself. I have been following you for some time from the Arab countries. I hope you add Arabic translation except for your clip because you have many Arab followers. All thanks and appreciation.

Yes i've been waiting for this

Yeah Cris sir always good ..happy face😁 ... hardworking man...🎉

For a long time already I really like your summaries ❤

@techtablets what you prefer from the 3?

I actually love all 3 of them. All of them are somehow good in different departments. I would argue that (despite the less natural color tones in some scenarios) the Honor would win a blind test because of it's more saturated, more pleasing for social media results. But tbh, I'm impressed by Vivo. Happy I already ordered the Honor, but my reasons are way beyond just the camera. Great review, keep it up.

Amazing latest 2 videos with the 14 Ultra! Surprised about the lack of quality on the zoom lens, it looks almost as if there's a focusing issue with that lens, as distant objects look blurry. Any plans to review the Meizu 21 and 21 Pro?

Thanks, very thorough, I'm planning to purchase either Xiaomi 14U or Vivo X100P

Seen reviews that points to the Vivo doesn’t quite like red colors, Autofocus basically wouldn’t establishes itself on a red flower 🌺

Great comparison (again)! I immediately see that the Xiaomi 14 Ultra does a better job with exposure this time, it is just about right. In your last video, it was overexposed all the time. My opinion in order of appearance: * stabilization of the front facing camera: Xiaomi, Honor (depite the jitter), Vivo * sound: Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo (if there is no wind) * wind noise: Vivo, Honor, Xiaomi (unacceptable) * lens flare: Xiaomi, Vivo, Honor * white balance (1:50): Vivo (warmer but doesn't like red colors), Xiaomi (blue-ish), Honor (blue) * chromatic abberation (3.2x/4.3/2.6 zoom): Vivo/Honor, Xiaomi (purple artefacts on the boat railing from 1:33) * overall detail: Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor * color science (subjective): Vivo (nice natural colors), Xiaomi (still nice), Honor (too saturated) * night mode: Xiaomi, Honor, Vivo (what happened to the sky at 11:10? but detailing of the restaurant is excellent) * sign picture (11:45): Vivo, Xiaomi, Honor Except for the wind noise, the Vivo and Xiaomi are really close. Sometimes I like the color science of the Vivo, and sometimes I like the detailing of the Xiaomi more. It is remarkable that the Honor has such a good camera for the price, just that oversaturation is a shame. All three of these phones are actually really good, the Vivo and Xiaomi being excellent. I think the Vivo X100 Pro wins overall because of (subjectively) nicer colors, but by a small margin. I cannot get the Vivo X100 Pro here in The Netherlands. The Xiaomi 14 Ultra is a good second best, if you get the exposure right.

good work. vivo takes the cake in my books, but i am a little disappointed with the ultrawide being slightly too narrow, and also how it captures faces sometimes. it creates some sort of artificial, painting-like, blending droopyness to eyes for example. it's strange. video microphone too, is noticeably of lower quality. i hope by x100 pro plus these would be fixed or reimagined.

You need to make a video only exploring that "AI Zoom" on the 14 Ultra.

Thanks for the video. You said some pics of vivo over sharpening is that a bad thing?

So I would like to see the same devices but this time focusing on the usage, in hand feel, menus, functions as that determines a lot how your device will feel and perform to you as an owner. Film the menues buttons material textures and so on

Great comparison, as always! I would go with the Xiaomi. Although it would be nice if the prices stopped going this high! Here in Portugal it costs 1.499€…😢

Honor and vivo color profiles are more vivid,satureted and bit of contrast ,in my opinion it wld make sense if you aplied vivid mode on xiaomi to match colors among three instead of leica aunthentic which work the oposite way

Thank you, nice work. Are you now more hopeful with Xiaomi 14 Ultra, with the update?

More than 10 years ago, I was lusting for a full frame digital camera due to its image quality. Few days ago, I saw a video comparing an S24 ultra to a full frame Nikon and I was shocked how close it is. In short, buying flagship phone right now gets you full frame camera IQ which is way cheaper, compact and shoots better videos. However, I'm also a bit of a gamer so I want a flagship that does not throttle much and with bypass charging.

What site could i order from for to be used in uk ideallt i want a good camera phone and leaning towards Xiaomi 14

I dont think there are droped frames as you mention in many your videos. To me, it looks more like a stabilization issue trying to stabilize the movement while pannig (which it shouldnt do). Try turning all the stabilization off to see if its really droped frames, for the science!

Hi friend, great video! Tell me, does the lack of band 20 affect the signal reception quality and mobile internet speed? In Europe, band 20 is everywhere. It would be great if you could make a comparison with Oppo x7 ultra (or maybe compare several phones, including for the global versions, where band 20 is available) in terms of mobile signal quality and mobile internet speed (test with one sim card)

All this three phone are great if I going to pick one that will be honor

If you have to decide between Xiaomi and vivo, which one please ?

You can turn off the "enhance night sky" toggle in the vivo's camera settings.

x100 pro has some serious autofocus and network issues. i use motioncam app and in that it has heavy focusing issues. sometimes internet reaches only to browser apps and other apps just cannot pickup internet, i had to wait few min and internet works fine.

I am just recording and cutting my comparison and fully agree. Vivo 1st, Xiaomi 2nd and Honor 3rd in this comparison. I really like the video improvements on the Xiaomi and they seem to have fixed their audio issues with external mics as well

Honor magic 6 pro 😊

I really Love The Honor Magic 6 pro.. And Planning to Buy one.. But the Camera has not impressed me that much especially the Portrait and Unrealistic Colours... Which can be fixed by Honor if they want I think they are savings the Best For the Ultimate and RSR Models.. Coming out in 18th March...

After i watch soo many videos...i stick to Samsung s24 ultra because Soo many features, excellent camara and video, customisation and mainly security in hardware level...updates upto 7 years ....worth the money

Honor definitely has to improve their camera software, at least the zoom related stuff

Hi. Enjoy your work very much. From watching in depth review by westerners...... Not Chinese, coalmost all in agreement that vivo x100 pro and OPPO find x7 ultras are better... Thank you. Keep up the great work.

I wanted to ask if Xiaomi 14 ultra. Has it had any software updates? Vivo already had several that were supposed to improve the quality of photos. Does Xiaomi's policy suggest that they will further improve the camera?

I found Xiaomi shots less over-exposed than they were on your quick review.

@techtablets... Chris would you recommend the magic 6 pro over the op12? Which is the best balanced device and better camera? Thanks

Me: “I’m not watching another comparison video.” UKposts: how much you wanna put on that.😏

Any recommendation for a tablet around 150$

Yeah!!! You are on a roll. Nice video. Is the battle of the Chinese flagships?😅

Awesome camera comprision as always Chris Sir

Great comparison Chris, no one perfect device as usual! Do any of these dethrone the Pixel 8 pro? Haven't seen anyone yet compare it to these

on the vivo you have orign os or funtouch os ?

It's frustrating that the vivo isn't on global carriers. Nor is the Xiaomi. Nor is the Oppo. That only really leaves Honor for most people because it's truly global. It needs some software updates. I don't record video on my phone and have only ever used the zoom to 20x at most so the Honor is perfect then.

Really good video thank you!!! If you had the chance, would you buy the Xiaomi 14 Ultra (Global - 512gb) for 850 euros? or would you spend a little bit more of money in another one?

It's the other way around with the honor regarding depth of field, It has more depth of field, hence why it is flat and lacks bokeh.

There is a setting in magic 6 pro where you can switch mode between vibrant authentic and natural. I think the reason your photos all turn out over saturated is because you are on the vibrant mode.

6pro is the best

i definitely prefer Xiaomi for most of the shots, but i rly gotta say that the honor nails the dark black skies at night even if it messes up the rest of the image. Portrait is still by far the best on Vivo, not surprised, Xiaomi has always been lackluster in the portrait mode. i quite like the bokeh balls on the X14U telemacro, though yeah the detailing could rly be improved. and tbf to the vivo in that first night shot, im pretty sure the patchiness is actually unfortunate lens flaring, rather than a flaw in the processing. i’ve been able to purposely recreate that kind of flare on my X13U’s 3x lens and it can make for interesting looking portrait shots.

Nice one. X14U updates are looking good, but still a way to go to beat out the X100P. Do you have any doubts about cancelling your X14U order at this point?

@TechTablets I own the X100 Pro and in two instances (out of ~2000 photos) the Zeiss Natural mode produced photos with some very odd artefacts. Have you spotted anything like that? I'd be happy to send them to you if you're interested. If so, let me know where to send them.

I've got the Xiaomi (normal smaller one) , and they really need to sort out the banding on the camera. I dunno if it only happens indoors but it is annoying, never had this on a phone before. Only happened a few times but enough to piss me off.

i wonder how the A55 and s24 plus after update will fare vs vivox100 pro and xiaomi 14 ultra

I like vivo but I'm just wondering if you set zeiss natural for Vivo, and like authentic for xiaomi why you didn't do that for Honor? I done that on mine and my pictures looks much better. I think software update changed a lot in Honor

How about the battery drain between these 3 phones?

What a shame honor have some great potential but no optimize with the sensor, great video!

I have xiaomi 14 ultra.and i relly enjoy it. Cn rom and i like video and also picture quality.

Hi Chris, I am confused between buying the 14 ultra and vivo x100 pro. Both phones are similarly priced in my country. I want a phone that takes great point and shoot photos and a good display. Also it should last me above 3 years without getting laggy and slowing down.

amazing Xiaomi 14 ultra , so different from another 14 series, Xiaomi 14 ultra look like same with 13 ultra they make it for focus in camera

Would you say that the iPhone 15 Pro Max is most consistent and reliable , For focusing , good audio , and taking reliable pics and vids ?

Hello. You do a comparison of Samsung s21FE vs Samsung s24 ultra or some good currant flag ship :D😉

Im between the Vivo and the Oppo. I would go for the Vivo if they fixed the microphone issues ( Its really noisy vs oppo) and the portraits have to improve like the Oppo and the lowlight starlight photos are better

I think it'd be time to incorporate raw files into the test, with the advent of 1inch sensors I think it's make sense.

Hi What was the version of the Maj on the Honor? A Maj was sent this week by Honor. what color mode did you choose on the Honor? Because you can choose 3 style preference. The photo with the Honor flower has a problem, it is the only phone with a variable aperture focal length. For the zoom I agree with you, after 10x it's very bad. For the rest I personally find that it is a matter of taste, because the 3 phones are very good, but personally I find in certain photos of the Honor sharper and more detailed, the photo of the cat for example and more detailed on the Honor, look at the mat compared to the Vivo. I personally find that it is difficult to find a winner at this level, regardless of these advantages and disadvantages. The vivo will have the best value for money. The most balanced honor. And the Xiaomi is much too expensive for ultimately little difference with the other competitors.

Thank you for the video. Please can you upload some full resolution sample images from the 14 Ultra and the X100 Pro? Thanks!

BTW is it possible for you to do a Find X7 Ultra vs Xiaomi 14 Ultra vs Vivo X100 Pro? Would love that, cheers!

Which one have good stabilization??

battle of MID RANGE samsung A55 vs Vivo v30 and or Vivo v30 pro PLEASE

Hi please do A55 vs 23 / 24 ultra?

0:00 I think I already said that a few months ago, but how are we supposed to properly view it on a 4k60 screen if the video itself isn't uploaded in 60fps?😅 Other than that great comparison still.

Great video. If I can say something I would change would be if you can focus more on details instead of the colours.. No one cares about colours.. We all edit them 😁

I really like the Vivo. Too bad the audio quality is so poor. Hope they can fix it in the next updates. 2nd negativ point is the night sky mess...too many artifacts.

Vivo definitely the winner bro

Briba de gigantes todos com otimas fotos e otimas gravasão e filmagem

Interesting, this is the only review I seen XM14U winning X100 Pro in telephotos.

is there anything known about the vivo X100 Pro+/Ultra ?

Vivo's night sky and sharpness could be toned down 1 notch, other than that, absolute banger photos. Xiaomi's sharpness is imo perfect and if Vivo had an option for that then Vivo would've easily been the GOAT

A short comparation between the global Xiaomi and the Chinese version would be awesome

Another quality and objective analysis. You deserve an award Sir

Tuank you for listening to our comments...my dream review...now add s24 ultra ro the phone comparison

Xiaomi more consistent...clear winner for me. And a surprise considering your last videos...

where can i get the global version of Vivo x100 pro?

If you have to decide between honor and xiaomi, which one?

honor is doing very well with limited hardware. video is so smooth on honor. microphone is awful on both vivo and honor, xiaomi is clear winner there. but again for camera vivo beats both overall.

Drop frames , stabilisation not perfect etc etc that’s why the iPhone is unbeatable for now At least they don’t make compromises if you buy the most expensive

Xiaomi = audio Vivo = camera Honor = design

Are you using the Chinese version of Xiaomi????

how about the quality of mic. from vivo x100 pro?

So which you think is the best

Honor magic 5 times zoom is great even without a high zoom lens. With just the 2x its giving good quality 5x image. It's surprising how it xan capture so much more details with just the 2.5x compared to the other two with 4x and 3.3x. it literally has more real details captured, like the roap and the surfing board on the yatch or boat. It's crazy. This xiaomi is all talk and no work. I have seen many camera reviews of this phone and it always fails to even compete with others in terms of details and hdr. It was way way behind others.

Thank You

At 1:20 the field of of view is so poor in Vivo. why is that? Are you using a different zoom setting?

OP12 would also be great in this comparison :)

Vivo user here since Jan 27th. Guys, get this phone without any doubts. Stills are awesome and better than samsung and iphone flagships. Video is fine but can't go 20x zoom, unlike S24 ultra or as good as iPhone. But portrait, stills, zoom - are all absolutely fantastic. Also wish they could do 4k at 120fps - Dimensity 9300 can handle it definitely. And we've got 16GB RAM as well. Not sure why Vivo hasn't given that.

Does your Vivo x100 pro global version have Android Auto?

Has someone that has used Xiaomi for years now and was thinking about buying the 14 ultra, i'm a bit disappointed :| Unsure if it's better to wait for the vivo x100 ultra or not, it will probably have the same price has the Xiaomi 14 Ultra in China

I couldn't resist the hype but now I guess I made a mistake preordering X14U with all the gadgets. Hope it will be much better of what seems in many comparisons, otherwise It would not be worth the astronomical price. Overexposure (and not only that) would be really Ultrabad. Software is the key and these Chinese cameraphone are betting on hardware. I'm I wrong?

like of 1000😂Thank you very much do you recommend me in any device between them how many points give Honor
