vivo X100 Ultra

The Vivo X100 Ultra is a top-tier camera phone in Vivo's X series, boasting impressive specs but limited availability in China. Despite this, the phone's camera capabilities are worth examining. The device features a 50MP main cam with a 1-in type Lita sensor, a 200MP 3.7x telephoto cam, and a 50MP ultrawide camera. In daylight photos, the main cam produces excellent detail rendition, crisp images, and wide dynamic range. Low-light performance is also commendable, with great detail and expressive shadows. The main cam can shoot videos in up to 8K resolution, but 4K makes more sense for practical use. Videos are detailed and have a natural color balance. The telephoto camera excels at 3.7x zoom, capturing sharp and noise-free photos with excellent dynamic range and color reproduction. It's particularly strong at night, delivering solid results even in dark scenes. The ultrawide cam performs well, with excellent dynamic range and likable colors, although it lags behind the X100 Pro model. Selfies from the X100 Ultra are also commendable, with lifelike skin tones and vibrant colors. Overall, the Vivo X100 Ultra has top-class camera hardware, with a great main camera and an exceptional telephoto cam. While its performance is good but not class-leading, it's still a strong contender in the flagship market. If you're looking for a similar experience without the hassle of importing from China, the globally available Vivo X100 Pro might be a more practical option. However, if you can overlook the limited availability and prefer a slightly different camera setup, the Vivo X100 Ultra is worth considering.
