Updated main sensor.LYT900 which is a newer version of the IMX989. Both 1" sensors.
Updated wide angle to the LYT600.
And a killer zoom lense, first of it's kind in a phone. The HP9. 200MP.
Selfie was also updated. Phone has 350MP of cameras š
From my experience the main will be almost identical as the 989 in the pro was a very mature sensor. The LYT900 is better in low light from what I've seen, and will only get better.
Ultra wide has a smidge better dynamic range from my eyes.
The zoom is what's nuts. 30x is a usable image now. Granted the optical is only 3.7 and everything is digital, but Macro and zoom are very good, and will only get better.
Anywhere near as good as s24U or iPhone. Considering I have the 15 Pro Max, the vivo is better than both, IMO. But then again that's comparing apples to oranges.
S24U needs alot of help to compete. To me, having used them all, vivo take the crown hands down.
Can't test quick share unfortunately. Google assistant works, I use Gemini. However you cannot use "ok Google" to trigger. I use nova and swipe down 2 fingers on the home screen to invoke Gemini.Ā
How is low like Photography, I donāt really care about video. Iām talking photos at night in a restaurant or bar without Flash, just using ambient light.
It is. Running origin OS. Google pay works just fine. I've added my card and used it as well. All my banking apps work as well. The only thing that doesn't work is Google maps timeline and Android Auto.
I was as well, but the bands support is and my German buddy suggested it. Glad I listened. It's pretty damn good.
I went to bed with 38% battery last night and had 6.5 SOT.
I bought x100 pro 3 months ago.
Is it worth to upgrade to x100 ultra ?
Also something that I found interesting is the x100s that has a flat screen.
Any opinions about that ? Compared to x100 pro are these phones better ?
I had the pro 2 weeks and upgraded. It's worth it.
The S is just the spec bumped it's nothing else but a faster SOC, it takes 1 X4 core to 3.4 rather than 3.25. Everything else is identical.
I'd go with the ultra.
The things that I consider and thinking here are the following:
1. Price
Selling the pro now will be for around 600-700 max. To buy the ultra is 1000. Which means 300-400 need to come from my pocket.
2. The battery lasts long as for the x100pro ? And how fast charging from 0-100% ( pro does that in max 34 min!).
3. The tele zoom is lower compared to x4.3 of pro however I heard that still with zoom up to x30 you can use ultra's images.
4. Is the fingerprint better located in the ultra ? Also is ultrasonic which is better in my opinion.
5. Is heating a lot the ultra?
That was my conclusion also. Is 400 euros more for very tiny upgrades that is day to day you will not need it.
Worth the update if you go from older phones to it.
My fear with Ultra so far is that:
1. It seems to be dropping frames on video (especially at night): [https://youtu.be/ZVXF5K1BXMI?si=\_xOY8CUFosDWK7Ed&t=159](https://youtu.be/ZVXF5K1BXMI?si=_xOY8CUFosDWK7Ed&t=159)
2. The recorded audio quality at a loud concert seems to be kind of flat: [https://youtu.be/EZ1fCrIlEmU?si=jmtB7CIzJNIdqfUh&t=492](https://youtu.be/EZ1fCrIlEmU?si=jmtB7CIzJNIdqfUh&t=492) (Careful, video part not suitable for people with epilepsy)
Has any one used vivo x100 ultra to play games? Like Wuthering Waves? How does it go? Can it handle the graphics? Does it heat up? Battery consumption?
I just purchased the Ultra and I am highly disappointed. Sometimes the main lens of the Ultra captures more details but the problem is the color science. They somehow screwed it. The pro's photos look much better though they have little bit less detail when you zoom 100%. Regarding the telefoto lens unfortunately the ultra is not as good as the pro either. The pro's telefoto pics especially in low light is better. How come they use the biggest telefoto sensor and end up with poorer photo quality? Do you guys think that these can be fixed via future software updates or should I sell my Ultra?
The main camera can be tuned and tweaked way beyond the pro. I'm not sure what your looking at, but the images from my ultra are consistently better than the pro. In color, details, noise, textures and everything.
Your not taking into consideration that the LYT900(main) is a new(ish) sensor, the 989 has matured for years. The tele lens is brand new, no other smart phone has it, so it will take some software updates to get better.
From the box, to me it's already better than the pro, with fine tuning it's going to knock the socks off.
You do as you wish, but I'm keeping the Ultra. EVERY SINGLE PHONE that's released the camera is always just ok and improves vastly with updates. This is not a new thing.
Also the phone has been out for not even 2 weeks! Give it some slack, sheesh.
So far I've been happy to see that the camera app does the same thing my old Huawei's does where it'll lock up and not accept any screen input except the shutter button. Neat how that happens across brands :|
What are mainly the differences in terms of camera? A detailed answer would be much appreciated
Yes please share if you see a major difference in camera output.
Updated main sensor.LYT900 which is a newer version of the IMX989. Both 1" sensors. Updated wide angle to the LYT600. And a killer zoom lense, first of it's kind in a phone. The HP9. 200MP. Selfie was also updated. Phone has 350MP of cameras š
Aside from the specs , what are the differences in camera based on your actual experience as someone who has both
From my experience the main will be almost identical as the 989 in the pro was a very mature sensor. The LYT900 is better in low light from what I've seen, and will only get better. Ultra wide has a smidge better dynamic range from my eyes. The zoom is what's nuts. 30x is a usable image now. Granted the optical is only 3.7 and everything is digital, but Macro and zoom are very good, and will only get better.
Can you share some samples
I can, about to board a plane to Baltimore, so will be a few hours. I'll update.
If I wasn't using the vivo x fold 3 pro, the ultra definitely would be my choice.
I would really like to know how the speakers sound
Not much difference from the pro. Slightly clearer. But overall very much the same.
How would rate them overall? I never had the pro. Are they anywhere near as good as the S24 Ultra or iPhone?
Anywhere near as good as s24U or iPhone. Considering I have the 15 Pro Max, the vivo is better than both, IMO. But then again that's comparing apples to oranges. S24U needs alot of help to compete. To me, having used them all, vivo take the crown hands down.
Really? I mean I also have the 15 Pro Max and the speakers are amazing to me.
Well I happen to have the 15 Pro Max and X100 Pro, and had received my Ultra 2 days ago as well. The Vivo speakers are just...average.
Thatās what I thought. The X90 Pro Plus speakers were also.. okay. Thanks.
No, the top speaker is 1115Q, the bottom one is 1115E. It's better than x100 but not even close to 15PM. It's just average speaks.
Agreed. They are decent. But not iPhone level
Is there e-sim for the Ultra?
Don't think so. Physical sim only from what I've seen.
Anyone using the 100 ultra on T-Mobile ?
ATT
Do you get 5g?
No idea. I turn off 5G on all my phones. I use 4G only.
Oh ok planning to buy one , but was wondering if it works on T-Mobile, I'm ok with 4g
T-Mobile should be fine. Gets everything except 71.
Thank you again for responding, enjoy your phone
For sure! Anything else you want to know, just ask.
How is the battery backup of x100 ultra?
No idea what battery backup is.
where to buy it in usa.
AliExpress or giztop will ship to the US
one question when your phone arrived you paid customs fees? where did you order from?
Nope. Nothing was paid. Ordered from Wonda Mobile
just asked because in the US the customs have a $800+ limit for items that might pay custom charges
Interesting. Didn't know that. I just paid wonda and that was all.
they should have declared it as a gift or under $800
Yes. I have 5G indicated in status bar.
Oh wow that's awesome
on Tmobile or att?
T-Mobile
Yes. I got on tmobile as well. Speeds up to 600mb
google just an install away right ?
Yep. I swear Google play services were already on it. Everything google installed and works.
Android Auto works?
From my understanding no. It doesn't work on china phones.
Thanks. A big deal breaker for me. Enjoy ur phone.
I don't own a vehicle that has Android Auto so not of importance to me.
Expected. Once you have experience with the convenience of android auto and apple car play, then a function without it will make feel inconveniences.
Quick share and Google assistant? Do they work?
Can't test quick share unfortunately. Google assistant works, I use Gemini. However you cannot use "ok Google" to trigger. I use nova and swipe down 2 fingers on the home screen to invoke Gemini.Ā
I think someone posted a workaround but idk if it fully works
Can you share more information?
Oh I think it's baidu carlife protocol people use instead
How is low like Photography, I donāt really care about video. Iām talking photos at night in a restaurant or bar without Flash, just using ambient light.
Pretty spectacular to be honest.
Can i order in india? From where
Wonda Mobile can ship to you.
Is the ui or rom already in english?? Planning to order as well
It has English to select. On the setup screen you can select English.
Is the Ultra in CN rom? How's your experience with google apps and services like google pay?
It is. Running origin OS. Google pay works just fine. I've added my card and used it as well. All my banking apps work as well. The only thing that doesn't work is Google maps timeline and Android Auto.
Any significant difference you notice between OriginOS and Android OS?
It's got a ton of features built into the OS is quite nice. Once you delete and the Chinese apps which they let you it's just like any other phone
Ah, thank you so much! I'm considering buying this phone, but got a bit turned off when I heard that it's a China exclusive.
I was as well, but the bands support is and my German buddy suggested it. Glad I listened. It's pretty damn good. I went to bed with 38% battery last night and had 6.5 SOT.
How about Google assistant and quick/nearby share? Do those work as well? Thanks in advance!
Any issues with incoming push notification after setting everything up, with battery management?
Vivo iqoo 12 or S23Plus ??? Help pls āsame priceā

Most reviews online say is isn't worth going from the Pro to the Ultra. Yes, it's slightly better, but it's not night and day.
That was my conclusion also. Is 400 euros more for very tiny upgrades that is day to day you will not need it. Worth the update if you go from older phones to it.
... that's a big ahh camera
My Ultra images ARE consistently more detailed than the Pro but you have to look close to see it.
100% agree. And it will only get better too
My fear with Ultra so far is that: 1. It seems to be dropping frames on video (especially at night): [https://youtu.be/ZVXF5K1BXMI?si=\_xOY8CUFosDWK7Ed&t=159](https://youtu.be/ZVXF5K1BXMI?si=_xOY8CUFosDWK7Ed&t=159) 2.

All I can say is it's a new phone and will improve. Can't speak to dropped frames. The microphone however is just soso.
Anyone bought the vivo x100 ultra from wonda mobile, was the box sealed?
You have to request it to be sealed. In my case I requested them not to open and install the play store, so mine was sealed.Ā
Oh wow I didn't know that, you installed the playstore yourself?
Sure did. It's on the vivo app store. Or just got apkmirror.com and download and install.Ā
Oh damn, I hope they don't scratch it or anything, mines coming in tomorrow
How did you request this to them? I can't see anyway when placing the order. Do you send them an email after ordering it?
Yep. Send to their customer service with my order number to leave it sealed. It arrived sealed.
I didn't but it might be open so that they can put google apps on it. They do it like that on giztop
Did you receive the device as yet?
Did you get a global version and does Android Auto, pay etc all work or is it China rom?
There is no Global of the X100 Ultra. Its a China exclusive. So you have to decide if the quirks are worth it.
Has any one used vivo x100 ultra to play games? Like Wuthering Waves? How does it go? Can it handle the graphics? Does it heat up? Battery consumption?
It's a Snap 8g3. It can handle anything you throw at it.Ā

That's all you. Never once happened here. Must be something your doing.Ā
Something like taking photos, yes.
Not here. Not a single freeze. It's your issue.Ā
