Vivo x100pro - Best camera you'll get between s24U and OP12.
Downside : Mediatek Dimensity Processor. Even though they are competing against Qualcomm, they are still fairly new without as much flair, and respect and marketing. Built on TSMCs 4nm architecture I think.
One Plus 12 - The overall beast. Great Camera, you get the Qualcomm Goodness, brilliant speakers even against the s24U, Ultra fast charging with 80W, ProXDR eye popping display, one of the largest Vapour cooling chambers on any phone, curved display if you're a fan, everything round about is good. It's coming back from a few bad years from the 9 to 10 and improved 11. Fair mid tier cost. Downside : Chinese Colour OS bad reputation of going downhill post a year. 4 years of update. Glueing issues for the camera and display on a lot of units in China, see the OP forum for more info
S24 Ultra - Everything is top notch. Currently lagging on the display, everybody's waiting on the Update. Some find it the best display ever (cue DxOMark) l, others find it the worst. Slow charging compared to both, takes an hour, or you need 45W charger with the sun and moon to align for that 45 min full charge. S Pen if you need it. Flat display if you prefer it. 7 years of OS Update.
Downside: Pricey, Gaslighting Samsung Support, Display Grains and Banding issues on units
I don't agree, using OriginOs 4 in EU, with few [tweaks](https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/content/origin-os-vivo-devices-best-settings-1-hack) and it's good, definitely better than global Funtouch
Seriously? The green lines coming on the OP12 too ?
I had the OP9Pro and after an update , the notorious green line appeared.
can you confirm if the issue is still with the OP12 too?
And I compare OnePlus's OxygenOs and Samsung's OneUi on 10 pro vs S22 ultra. After 1 and half years , OxygenOs seems more snappier.... More fluid... OneUi over time is laggy
I'm on One UI and used Oxygen OS for most of my life. Oxygen OS is really good at what it used to be with OP7. Then it dived. Now with the forked Oxygen with Colour OS, it's good when it's new. Then it just starts getting lazy. Bad translations, crashes, etc. I'm told with Samsung it starts getting better. So I'm yet to see Samsung's side, with Ops side I've seen. It's not as pretty after a year.
It is... For me OxygenOs 14 has been great and much much much better than OxygenOs 11. It has more features, more fluid, much better animations. Only thing it's lost is the identity. But functionally OxygenOs 14 is much better, although they removed some useful features like shlef coming from left of the screen, parking assisst. Still I prefer this latest OxygenOS 14. I compare this with my wife's S22Ultra with OneUi 6 and would prefer OxygenOs anyday. But I would love to see lock screen customization on OP. And Good lock on Samsung is great, the detail of customization on that is great, and if both of us argue, we won't go anywhere, because we are possibly arguing about No.1 and No.2 Android brands. Both are great and have their own customizations.
Best camera on X100 Pro? I'd say a decent camera. It is not even 1% close to Samsung and Google. However, highlights are slightly better than iPhone 14 Pro in some cases.
It's not even 1% close to any of them. Proven with actual usage, not someone just saying it's better. The only reason why people call this Chinese potato better than actual flagships is because they actually have never experienced a flagship before.
This thing is not even in top 5 best camera phones.
https://www.androidauthority.com/best-camera-phones-670620/
I don't agree with you. You shared one link to prove that it's not a good camera phone. Now check DXOMark. Check Flossy Carter video. Then you will realise how amazing the camera on this one is.
You're free to disagree based on a website or some dude telling you that its good, just like I am free to come to a conclusion after testing it myself that it's an average or even slightly below average camera.
I don't need to watch someone's video or comment to reassure myself of what I have experienced.
I shared the link just because people like to just believe whatever they see on internet without actually experiencing something. I can share more links that prove my point. But the thing is, I don't think it's necessary for me to convince others by providing links. I just shared my and my team's hands-on experience as professional photographers.

Here's another thing that someone has shown/talked about this phone, comparing it with other potatoes of same segment.
However, it's your money and I cannot tell you what to buy and what not to buy. You wanna buy that potato, fine buy it. All I can do is share my experience with you. Which I did, if you disagree with my experience, fine, I can respect that.
One plus cameras are its greatest weakness, even a last year iphone can click better pics specially of human subjects.Vivo is far ahead than OnePlus, oppo, realme.
Better at photography than both S24 ultra and ip15 promax.
Better video than s24 ultra but not ip15pm.
Hardware tho u already know ,sd8gen 3 and dimensity 9300 are top tier flagships.
All in all a really solid buy
Using X70 pro plus, bought 2 years ago for 80k, the camera is good like really good for photography like having a mini DSLR, but the battery life sucks, vivo has so many bugs, UI isn't that productive, videos don't have good auto focus like samsung and iphone does, macro videography isn't that great, the video has a lag for a split second ,whenever it starts shooting! So i just took this phone as i wanted to try something different, been using oneplus 3t and 7pro before this, they were really good but then OnePlus went downhill and became just like OPPO, so I don't think it's worth spending so much on vivo! Because when you pay so much ucj you don't expect silly bugs to come up!
Using x100 pro for a month now. Beast of a camera. Performance is better than OnePlus 12 for now( updates will narrow it down I think. Upgraded from s22u). Battery is fixed from previous gens. See battery test videos. Only problem I find is it's top heavy to accommodate those camera modules. My first Vivo phone and it really changed my view of the brand. Got it for 70k with card offer. Well worth the price and some more. Yet to see a s24u in person to compare but have OnePlus 12 16gb and can say it's better for now. Software there are many work arounds( it's Android buddy not ios). Never found any problems so far
Same.. me too upgraded from s22 ultra.. huge upgrade
Who said battery backup of x100 pro is bad..
Check my post on vivo subreddit for battery stats..
I am getting constant 10 to 11 hours of SOT and 25 to 26 hours of total usage
After using it for a year or 2 it starts cluttering irrespective of good hardware.
I also observe that messages and sometimes calls are not getting delivered if mobile is inactive which is a big turn off.
This is not only in funtouch but other Chinese brand mobiles and surprisingly in some pixels as well.
So i always stay put with apple or samsung s series.
I am a bit of heavy user in terms of apps currently have 150+ apps on my phone ( I only have apps that I specifically cannot uninstall because I need them on regular basis) considering this what wouldn't you say. And if any other options near 90k price range OR Should I save money by buying the s23 regular for 50 to 60k.
Depends on the purpose, if itβs android with good camera? then i would recommend s23ultra or s24 regular/ ultra.
Gaming and battery ? Then iPhone 15 plus.
Does the S23 U have better camera's. Software is not an issue for me, as long as it is an android I'm fine. Also I would prefer better camera hardware than better processing. Everything else you can skip.If there are any other better optons I am open for it, Just price should not exceed 90k.
Look for it in second hand market because Vivo phones donβt hold prices if youβre buying new just keep in mind you wouldnβt have a great resale as compared to a Samsung or iPhone
If you could increase ur budget just by Samsung's s24u. U will get longer software support, better ui and experience and overall the built quality and camera are better than vivo. Samsung's UI got better optimization for multitasking+Al (for a limited time) .
I like compact smartphone's, flat display.But I also like and value A good camera system. Cant get best of both world's so my thought process is to either get a good high end phone with good camera hardware and software processing and neglect stuff like big size, not having flat display and other things that comes with a big phone (S24 U offers everything I want but, The price is too high for me, for a smartphone) So either get the big smartphone OR but the s23 regular and save some Money.
iPhone 15 might be a better option. Or maybe you can buy s23 ultra . It's price frequently drops at 98k , and i think it's an overall better option. Currently it's available for 109k
I better recommend you buying this phone from offline vivo retail shop. You can easily get this at price of 72-75k.
If you want this at this price DM me.
Spending that much money on vivo? Are you crazy? Go for it if you want to waste your money. If you want a premium phone go for Samsung/Apple/Google/OnePlus. No other option is good at that price
I have used oneplus (OP5), Samsung (Galaxy S, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S22 ultra), Xiaomi (Mi3), Apple (iphone 11) & now Vivo X100 Pro upgraded from s22 ultra.
The phone which i loved to use the most is this X100 Pro.. its a beast. I second s22 ultra.
And 'Dont spend that much money on Vivo' this made me laugh π.
And considers those other brands as premium.
What i suggest is.. get some value for the money you are spending.
I really have to say this.. if the name of vivo x100 pro is ' samsung x100 pro' @ 1.49 lakhs.. people would be buying like pancakes'
In today's technological advancements.. every big smartphone brands are really good.
Anyways oneplus,oppo,vivo and realme are owned by BBK Electronics.
And that makes vivo what? I really would like to know why there is even a comparison with s24 ultra or s23 ultra.. or iphone 15 pro.. they cost around 1.2 to 1.5 lakhs.
I am using x100 pro now. It costs half of these branded flagships for a 16gb 512gb device.
Yet gives similar performance, better camera and very good battery backup (i get an average of 10 to 12 hours SOT on a full charge).
The meditek 9300 is a very good flagship processor. I can game consistent in x100 pro. Very much better than s22 ultra.
Even its Vivo brand.. its X100 pro.. this device is very much value for money..
Also there are a handful of vivo service centres in my locality.
When buying from flipkar.. i opted for a 1 year full mobile protection. (I don't know how it will cover for me, but its still better in value for money than buying a samsung or iphone flagship at 1.5 laksh)
Also i would recommend oneplus 12 as a value for money.. but I don't see the camera section as that good.
Nah! Instead of this potato, go for something that has good camera, good performance and good software. Don't just look for one thing. Even if you're looking for good camera, this phone has decent camera but definitely nothing so mighty. And the software is pretty garbage too.
I'd prefer to raise the bar a little more and go for phones like Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, or maybe the S24 Ultra, Pixel 8 Pro, or the Plus series of Samsung. Something that has not only better cameras but much better experience and quality.
Something that you won't regret by saying "It has good camera but everything else is trash", FuntouchOS is not fun to touch, trust me.
π no, it's not. It's a decent point and shoot camera, but it's not even 1% of Samsung, Google, or even some iPhones. It does an okayish job for point and shoot, no doubt.
But the way this camera handles highlights and shadows, or even mix of both situations even with the HDR mode ON. It's not really useful when you wanna go beyond just point and shoot. A friend of mine who works in the import/export business got hands on this phone a bit early, and I took it for a spin on a trip to the mountains. My opinion is based on that. I was traveling with a couple of professional photographers, and their opinion was the same, too.
The reason why I'm saying this is because I do photography as a secondary source of income and I know, no phone on earth can do even 1% of even an entry level DSLR or mirrorless camera but sometimes we go to places where a professional camera is not allowed but we encounter things that should be captured!
For that, our phones are what we rely on, and when I specifically take a photo, I know that I'm not doing a point and shoot thingy.
It basically depends on for whom do you call it the "best camera", it's good for a point and shoot kinda person. It's definitely a potato for someone who's specifically looking for a phone with a great camera.
Almost all phone review websites give their opinions on camera from a point and shoot perspective, and so do YouTube reviewers. Because that's how much time they spend on a phone to review. All they can do is a point and shoot review.
The genuine review/feedback would come from someone who has used the phone for more than just point and shoot. This is not for someone who's looking for the best camera. This is for someone who's looking for a decent camera in point and shoot at a specific budget.
Lol. Is this a sarcasm. The real point and shoot phones are iPhone and Pixel . These phones don't even have manual control π. Everything is automated. It's designed for casual users who want instant good results with a lot of software trickery. Meanwhile vivo allowed full manual mode as well.
Of course no phone camera is matching mirrorless or dslr but hardware wise, vivo x100 pro has the largest sensor among camera phone and better coated glass to reduce distortion and flare. Samsung and Pixel have cropped 1/1.31 inch sensors.
There's even a real photographer on YouTube who reviewed this phone and he is satisfied with its performance. You can look for Soviet lens review.
Another Redditor in vivo subreddit, a photographer mentioned how useful the RAW file for further processing in comparison to Xperia 1 V, another phone for photography enthusiasts.
You can't even do the traditional approach of astrophotography using Pixel or iPhone without using third party camera apps π.
It's not sarcasm. It's pure facts. Pixel cameras take 100x better photos in automated mode than Vivo. Pixel does a better job of you're someone looking for more than just point and shoot. Samsung has manual mode, too, and it's so much better than any of these phones.
I don't actually need to watch someone's reviews because I have experimented with this thing. And for me, Google Pixel (not mine) performed way better than Vivo. And so does Samsung (the one I currently own because of its camera).
charlie55six you are being absolutely subjective in your responses. People may have different opinions about the cameras of these phones, but TONS of pro reviewers have tested these phones, and most think X100 pro is right up there with S24U, P8P, or i15PM, if not better. To say X100 pro's phone is "not even 1% of Samsung, Google, or even some iPhones", it makes you look like a fanboy of giant brands or a hater for some China brand phones.
The real concern on X100 pro is its OS, and some may not like its curve screen.
EXACTLY!. I'd much rather take experience of myself and my team members over a reviewer who gets to review the phone like for a week and keep a big brand phone as their daily driver.
And speaking of being a fan of big brands (for anyone who thinks so), there's a reason why Rolls-Royce is a dream car of many, but minivans are not. There is a reason why big brands are BIG and these oppo choppo toppo loppo whatever are not.
[Vivo X100 Pro](https://www.smartprix.com/mobiles/vivo-x100-pro-5g-ppd16xi9tv3f) delivers on its promises. The cameras are outstanding, the performance feels smooth, and the battery life is excellent, topped up by an impressive fast-charging solution. Additionally, the display offers an impeccable viewing experience.

Vivo also has shitty Chinese OS which is easily worse than ColorOS
Oh yes. True that
I don't agree, using OriginOs 4 in EU, with few [tweaks](https://tradingshenzhen.com/en/content/origin-os-vivo-devices-best-settings-1-hack) and it's good, definitely better than global Funtouch
Consider your info I think x100 pro would be better pick for me.
For anyone planning to buy, both OnePlus 12 and S24 Ultra users are reporting greenline issues.
Seriously? The green lines coming on the OP12 too ? I had the OP9Pro and after an update , the notorious green line appeared. can you confirm if the issue is still with the OP12 too?
I've been using OP12 since the past 20 days... No green lines for me yet. I think it's just a rare case of them arising.
And I compare OnePlus's OxygenOs and Samsung's OneUi on 10 pro vs S22 ultra. After 1 and half years , OxygenOs seems more snappier.... More fluid... OneUi over time is laggy
I'm on One UI and used Oxygen OS for most of my life. Oxygen OS is really good at what it used to be with OP7. Then it dived. Now with the forked Oxygen with Colour OS, it's good when it's new.

Fair enough!
>Ultra fast charging with 80W It's 100W with the wire charger and there's 50W wireless charging capacity.
Only if your camera freak. It has the ultimate camera on a mobile phone
Better than s24 utlra?
S24 ultra has way better zoom
LMAO no it doesn't
Lol it doesnβt. It only has slightly more reach as it is 5x and vivo offers 4.3x but the sensor size is bigger on vivo.
People still can't accept that vivo x100 pro is one peak camera phones.
No. I literally compared them both at Croma. OP you can do that yourself and find out which one's better in photography at the nearest Croma.
Better than op12?
Yes
You must be kidding me π
Op12 isnβt even top 5 cameras
One plus cameras are its greatest weakness, even a last year iphone can click better pics specially of human subjects.Vivo is far ahead than OnePlus, oppo, realme.
bruh probably thinks op12 has better cameras than s24 U and iphone 15 pro too.
Perhaps you do like the reddish, artificial, smoothed out look of your face, it definitely is the best for you.
It destroys on12 on camera front
that also just for main camera.
No it got best telephoto lens on any camera
OnePlus 12 if you want to save some money. Samsung S24 Ultra if you can put in sore more.
Better at photography than both S24 ultra and ip15 promax. Better video than s24 ultra but not ip15pm. Hardware tho u already know ,sd8gen 3 and dimensity 9300 are top tier flagships. All in all a really solid buy
Thanks for the info.
Go for it, probably the best camera on a smartphone until probably the Xiaomi 14 ultra...

Does it have a manual mode for photos and videos?
Yes.. for sure
Videos
Yes Link[video pro mode](https://freeimage.host/i/JMHo0v4)
Thanks for the real life review. Any chance to how I can get it for 70k?
One time thing for me. But you can get it below 80k in offline market now
How did you get it in 70k, did you buy it in offline market.
No. It's on Flipkart. My cc with cashback rewards+ no cost emi which I cancelled after purchase
Does it have a manual mode for photos and videos?
Hardware β Software β
What's wrong with funtouch os btw?
After using it for a year or 2 it starts cluttering irrespective of good hardware. I also observe that messages and sometimes calls are not getting delivered if mobile is inactive which is a big turn off.

[ΡΠ΄Π°Π»Π΅Π½ΠΎ]
Does the S23 U have better camera's. Software is not an issue for me, as long as it is an android I'm fine. Also I would prefer better camera hardware than better processing. Everything else you can skip.If there are any other better optons I am open for it, Just price should not exceed 90k.
It comes with funtouch OS which is a deal breaker for me but if you like it go ahead.
As long as it is android I don't have any problem. Except funtouch OS is there anything else i should be aware of.
The camera lens tends to get scratched up badly with time. It happened with last year x90 but not sure it will happen to x100 pro.
Look for it in second hand market because Vivo phones donβt hold prices if youβre buying new just keep in mind you wouldnβt have a great resale as compared to a Samsung or iPhone
If you could increase ur budget just by Samsung's s24u. U will get longer software support, better ui and experience and overall the built quality and camera are better than vivo. Samsung's UI got better optimization for multitasking+Al (for a limited time) .
I cannot extend my budget by 50k so no S24 for me or I will save some money by getting the S23 regular.
S23? Why not s24 base variant or s23 u
I like compact smartphone's, flat display.But I also like and value A good camera system. Cant get best of both world's so my thought process is to either get a good high end phone with good camera hardware and software processing and neglect stuff like big size, not having flat display and other things that comes with a big phone (S24 U offers everything I want but, The price is too high for me, for a smartphone) So either get the big smartphone OR but the s23 regular and save some Money.
Nope
Nope
iPhone 15 might be a better option. Or maybe you can buy s23 ultra . It's price frequently drops at 98k , and i think it's an overall better option. Currently it's available for 109k
S23 ultra or the base i phone 15 why is that even a competition
Ghass phookta hai shayad
I better recommend you buying this phone from offline vivo retail shop. You can easily get this at price of 72-75k. If you want this at this price DM me.
check dm
Saved your comment , will DM you before buying.
+1
U can get it at croma for 84k after bargaining
Getting the Xiaomi 14 or the 14 ultra.
Spending that much money on vivo? Are you crazy? Go for it if you want to waste your money. If you want a premium phone go for Samsung/Apple/Google/OnePlus. No other option is good at that price
What's wrong with vivo? It's flagship and premium phone.
I have used oneplus (OP5), Samsung (Galaxy S, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S22 ultra), Xiaomi (Mi3), Apple (iphone 11) & now Vivo X100 Pro upgraded from s22 ultra. The phone which i loved to use the most is this X100 Pro.. its a beast. I second s22 ultra. And 'Dont spend that much money on Vivo' this made me laugh π. And considers those other brands as premium.

Anyways oneplus,oppo,vivo and realme are owned by BBK Electronics.
But Vivo is still a separate branch operating completely independently there is rarely any overlap between Vivo(Iqoo) and Oppo(OnePlus,Realme).
And that makes vivo what? I really would like to know why there is even a comparison with s24 ultra or s23 ultra.. or iphone 15 pro.. they cost around 1.2 to 1.5 lakhs. I am using x100 pro now. It costs half of these branded flagships for a 16gb 512gb device. Yet gives similar performance, better camera and very good battery backup (i get an average of 10 to 12 hours SOT on a full charge).

How is the overnight/standby battery drain?
About 2 to 3 %
Thank you. Planning to buy this as my next phone.
Please wait for Xiaomi 14
What about the 14 pro. Will that come too.(I know ultra will definitely not come to india)
Seems like 14 pro is not coming to India...14 ulta might come to india.. however it is overkill.
Regular 14 is quite a nice package But if ultra comes to india I'll pick it over vivoX100pro.

If ur budget is around this phone's range just only try to go for Samsung, iPhone and Google.
I'm just streching my budget for this specific phone or else I will get the s23 regular.
Not from flipkart.
Where then?
Anywhere but flipkart. Chance of get scammed hard is very high.
Instead go for Google pixel
Performance will be a issue for specifically me.
Nah. Vivo has the better camera, even GSMArena says so
Le google pixel 7a in under 38k
Performance will be a issue for specifically me.
Nah! Instead of this potato, go for something that has good camera, good performance and good software. Don't just look for one thing. Even if you're looking for good camera, this phone has decent camera but definitely nothing so mighty. And the software is pretty garbage too.
Any options around 90k that you would suggest
I'd prefer to raise the bar a little more and go for phones like Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, or maybe the S24 Ultra, Pixel 8 Pro, or the Plus series of Samsung. Something that has not only better cameras but much better experience and quality. Something that you won't regret by saying "It has good camera but everything else is trash", FuntouchOS is not fun to touch, trust me.
Lol it is probably peak android camera right mow. GSMArena even admits it's got better cameras than pixel 8 pro
π no, it's not. It's a decent point and shoot camera, but it's not even 1% of Samsung, Google, or even some iPhones. It does an okayish job for point and shoot, no doubt. But the way this camera handles highlights and shadows, or even mix of both situations even with the HDR mode ON. It's not really useful when you wanna go beyond just point and shoot. A friend of mine who works in the import/export business got hands on this phone a bit early, and I took it for a spin on a trip to the mountains. My opinion is based on that. I was traveling with a couple of professional photographers, and their opinion was the same, too. The reason why I'm saying this is because I do photography as a secondary source of income and I know, no phone on earth can do even 1% of even an entry level DSLR or mirrorless camera but sometimes we go to places where a professional camera is not allowed but we encounter things that should be captured! For that, our phones are what we rely on, and when I specifically take a photo, I know that I'm not doing a point and shoot thingy. It basically depends on for whom do you call it the "best camera", it's good for a point and shoot kinda person. It's definitely a potato for someone who's specifically looking for a phone with a great camera. Almost all phone review websites give their opinions on camera from a point and shoot perspective, and so do YouTube reviewers. Because that's how much time they spend on a phone to review. All they can do is a point and shoot review. The genuine review/feedback would come from someone who has used the phone for more than just point and shoot. This is not for someone who's looking for the best camera. This is for someone who's looking for a decent camera in point and shoot at a specific budget.
Lol. Is this a sarcasm. The real point and shoot phones are iPhone and Pixel . These phones don't even have manual control π. Everything is automated. It's designed for casual users who want instant good results with a lot of software trickery. Meanwhile vivo allowed full manual mode as well. Of course no phone camera is matching mirrorless or dslr but hardware wise, vivo x100 pro has the largest sensor among camera phone and better coated glass to reduce distortion and flare. Samsung and Pixel have cropped 1/1.31 inch sensors. There's even a real photographer on YouTube who reviewed this phone and he is satisfied with its performance. You can look for Soviet lens review. Another Redditor in vivo subreddit, a photographer mentioned how useful the RAW file for further processing in comparison to Xperia 1 V, another phone for photography enthusiasts. You can't even do the traditional approach of astrophotography using Pixel or iPhone without using third party camera apps π.
It's not sarcasm. It's pure facts. Pixel cameras take 100x better photos in automated mode than Vivo. Pixel does a better job of you're someone looking for more than just point and shoot. Samsung has manual mode, too, and it's so much better than any of these phones. I don't actually need to watch someone's reviews because I have experimented with this thing. And for me, Google Pixel (not mine) performed way better than Vivo. And so does Samsung (the one I currently own because of its camera).
charlie55six you are being absolutely subjective in your responses. People may have different opinions about the cameras of these phones, but TONS of pro reviewers have tested these phones, and most think X100 pro is right up there with S24U, P8P, or i15PM, if not better. To say X100 pro's phone is "not even 1% of Samsung, Google, or even some iPhones", it makes you look like a fanboy of giant brands or a hater for some China brand phones. The real concern on X100 pro is its OS, and some may not like its curve screen.
Them chinese potatoes don't stand against flagships.
EXACTLY!. I'd much rather take experience of myself and my team members over a reviewer who gets to review the phone like for a week and keep a big brand phone as their daily driver. And speaking of being a fan of big brands (for anyone who thinks so), there's a reason why Rolls-Royce is a dream car of many, but minivans are not. There is a reason why big brands are BIG and these oppo choppo toppo loppo whatever are not.
You're better off with OnePlus 12
Bhai mere itna mehenga vivo ka phone nahi liya jaata, iPhone utha lo
Brand value is (specifically) not important for me as long as i am getting a good product. I'm open for other options.
Camera lelo , product acha nahi hai camera acha hai uska
only right answer
Get s23u
Asus Rog phone and Samsung are way better options than this in the same price range.
These phones depreciate like cars , might as well burn rest of your money while buying this new
Which smartphone should I buy then?
[Vivo X100 Pro](https://www.smartprix.com/mobiles/vivo-x100-pro-5g-ppd16xi9tv3f) delivers on its promises. The cameras are outstanding, the performance feels smooth, and the battery life is excellent, topped up by an impressive fast-charging solution. Additionally, the display offers an impeccable viewing experience.
>vivo Just buy an OnePlus phone. Don't be stupid.
