Despite its impressive specs on paper, the Xiaomi Redmi K50 Pro failed to deliver in various aspects. The phone's camera was a major letdown, struggling with low-light photography and often overexposing images. Even using a GCAM port didn't improve the results significantly. Daytime photos were excellent, but that's not enough to redeem the camera's shortcomings. The 100-megapixel sensor, touted as a highlight of the phone, seemed to be hampered by software issues rather than hardware limitations. The battery life was average, with around 7-8 hours of screen time in everyday use. However, gaming performance was excellent, with smooth gameplay and long battery life (4-5 hours). The speakers were also impressive, making this a great phone for gaming enthusiasts. However, the camera's poor performance makes it hard to recommend this phone, especially when considering its high price point. For the same money, you can get better cameras on older Xiaomi phones or even last year's OnePlus 9 Pro. If your primary concern is gaming, then the Redmi K50 Pro might be a good choice. The display, battery life, and speakers all performed well in this regard. However, if photography is important to you, there are far better options available, making this phone a hard sell overall.
The Vivo X100 Ultra is the top-tier camera phone in the X series, boasting impressive specs but limited availability in China. Despite its exclusivity, this flagship deserves consideration for its exceptional camera capabilities. The device's main features include a unique 200MP telephoto cam with a large sensor and close focusing capability, an ultrawide camera upgrade, and a high-end curved screen with HDR10+ video support. The phone also boasts a top Qualcomm chipset, premium build, and waterproofing rating of IP69. In our tests, the X100 Ultra performed well, with smooth UI and gaming experience, good thermal management, and a long-lasting 5500mAh battery. Wireless charging is supported, but it's not as fast as expected. The cameras are undoubtedly one of the phone's strongest features. The main cam excels in daylight photos, capturing crisp details and wide dynamic range. In low light, it produces expressive shots with nicely boosted shadows. The 200MP telephoto camera delivers superb zoomed-in images at 3.7 times, while the ultrawide camera has excellent dynamic range but falls short in terms of sharpness. Overall, the Vivo X100 Ultra is a top-class flagship camera phone that deserves consideration despite its limited availability. Its exceptional camera capabilities make it stand out from its peers, and those willing to take on the risks of importing may find themselves with an excellent device.
