Vivo X300 Ultra vs Galaxy S26 Ultra and iPhone 17 Pro Max - Short Mobzilla, episode 174
Pros
- Superior photo quality in daylight, with vibrant colors and rich detail.
- Outstanding capabilities in close-up and portrait photography, with natural bokeh effect.
- Leader in night and low-light photography, effectively reducing noise.
- Precise autofocus and excellent detail capture, especially at high zoom levels.
- Very good value for money compared to more expensive competitors.
Cons
- Worse integration with social media apps (e.g., Instagram), especially for lossless video uploads.
The Vivo X300 Pro distinguishes itself as a flagship with exceptional photographic capabilities, outperforming competitors such as the iPhone 17 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in almost every scenario. It offers spectacular detail in daylight, outstanding performance in portraits and close-ups, and unparalleled quality in night shots and with high zoom, thanks to top-tier components and collaboration with Zeiss.
The smartphone is priced at 5500 [currency not specified, likely PLN], making it a significantly more affordable option than competing 'ultra-flagships' while delivering similar, and often better, photographic results. The only notable drawback is its poorer integration with social media apps like Instagram, where lossless video uploads are problematic. Overall, the Vivo X300 Pro is an excellent choice for users who value top-quality cameras at a more reasonable price.
“Both models of the brand, both the X300 Ultra and X300 Pro, perform a class better, or perhaps even two classes better in such conditions.”
“At night, Vivo also simply plays in a different league. With any of the cameras on both X3s, you can take the photos you want without wondering if they will turn out well or if it's better to switch to the main camera.”
“The X300 Pro, which performs better than the 17 Pro Max and S26 Ultra in virtually every photographic scenario, costs a much better sounding 5500 [currency not specified, likely PLN], meaning it's a good alternative for those who have a flagship budget, but not an ultra-flagship budget.”
“Since they have Android, they simply don't get along as well with social media apps, and especially with Instagram.”
The Craziest Smartphone of 2025
Pros
- Advanced camera setup with a 200MP APO telephoto lens and Pro imaging chip.
- Exceptional image stabilization for incredibly stable handheld video.
- High-speed 90W wired and 40W wireless flash charging.
- Powerful Dimensity 9500 flagship platform for stable performance.
- Large 6.7-inch display with high brightness and gentle low-light viewing.
“This is the X300 Pro photographer kit. So this has that wild zoom lens inside. So if you're into smartphone photography and video, this might be appealing.”
“Once you have this thing mounted, it makes a lot of sense to have a handle on there because now you've got some weight. You have some legitimate optics on here. It's pretty wild. It's a lot more like a camera than a smartphone at this point.”
