For me the x90 pro plus its the best camera for taking pictures , day and night . Video-wise , they are progressing at crazy pace aswell .
Most people….in the states will buy the more recognizable brand..that’s available in most carrier stores..wasn’t trying to be negative here..just wanted to alert most viewers
@@lsmocyclist That's not an alert.. That's an ad, lol.. Most people will buy Samsung but it doesn't mean it's the best product..
Had to switch to this one immediately as I got the notification. Have a great day buddy. 👊🏽
the review I have been waiting for! Thanks for your work. This really seals the deal - if you want the best possible mobile photography, Vivo is the king.
I think it is very difficult to compare any phone to the 1 inch sensors other than another 1 inch sensor because of the depth of field issues which has a lot of the photo slightly out of focus, when they produce a 1 inch sensor with a variable aperture like on the Mate 50 Pro but with a larger range then it will be a fantastic phone in my opinion. I personally like to have as much of the photo in focus as possible but I also would like the choice to have a shallow depth of field now and then. The Samsung S23 Ultra has beefed up a bit from the S22 Ultra but I think Samsung hasn't been bothered enough to sort out issues like the horrible white balance and red tint and don't get me started on the super steady video which is embarrassing to say the least. For me the Vivo X90 Pro + gets most things right but could use a few tweaks here and there, will be interested to see what both come up with next firmwares, good job on all your videos keep it up 🤘
Thanks, this one is the real decider for me, going to get one of these in about 2-3 months and its leaning towards the s23u. Was originally also considering the Xiaomi 13 pro, but a few reviews that i seen seemed to put it a bit behind these two video/photo wise. Thanks again for these real reviews, that show what they can do in everyday circumstances.
Get the Samsung, the security updates on these other Chinese brands suck
Peut être voir ce que va proposer le Find X6 Pro car sur le papier il semble génial

I'd consider the S23 Ultra if it weren't for the price and the not so good shutter speed that makes taking photos of moving objects not so good. Also the X90 pro plus is much better in sustained performance where it doesn't get too hot or lose too much performance over extended use compared to S23 Ultra.
vivo is applying a softening after processing while galaxy is adding sharpness .. on my galaxy in the camera assistant app i set the picture softening to medium and i have the best of the two worlds
Vivo does not apply a softening. Thats just how photos look like without a crazy amount of sharpening. Therefore the photos of the X90 Pro+ look like they are shot on a real camera, why would you want anything else? Also no app can get you a natural background blur like a 1 inch sensor
which device do you personally use i'm curious?
I am testing both now more in details as they both got new updates that improve stuff
Interesting review. I was also torn between the s23 ultra and some other like the mate 50 pro or the vivo. For me it's the s23 ultra because the cameras do not differ much, all of them great cameras. And all of them will even improve with further updates. At the moment I am experimenting with the expert raw mode, it really helps to get more natural photos.
Pro mode also helps as I discovered. Though HDR seems to be turned off
@@lltechview Does the Vivo have a much better camera flash and brighter flash in darker environments?
vivo x90 pro+ is superior overall, S23 Ultra is a waste of an upgrade from S22 ultra
200 megapixels main vs 1 inch sensor main, which is more practical and usable?! Of course 1 inch sensor!
As a X90 Pro Plus user this phone is great?
I like the VIVO X90 PRO PLUS cameras better. Samsung cameras are good. but I think it's too saturated. and the live one more realistic.
Please make a video comparing low light video and photos (including zoom cameras)!
Where Is the best vivo x90 pro plus..s23 ultra..or Huawei mate 50 pro??? Videos.. fotos...details??? Tanks 👍
For those 3 I would say Mate 50 Pro a bit superior to the Vivo X90 Pro+ and then the Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Portrait Mode with Ziess lens Blur on Vivo is still unmatched 👑
Brilliant detailed review as always.
There's definitely not a clear winner here but most of pictures are looking better on Vivo thanks to this huge 1 inch sensor and the Zeiss optics. However video quality and features s23 ultra is the king. Selfie 4k with AF absolutely amazing for content creators using mobile devices.
By the way you had a British weather 😅 for your test. That's what I have to deal with for my videos 😂
Yeah the 4k and AF on the front cam is really a plus for vloggers. Together with the ability to switch between front and back cameras is really useful sometimes. Sadly the front cam is not really usable indoors and low light conditions. Its getting grainy pretty quickly. And I was really shocked in comparison I did with the Xperia 1 IV where it simply blows the Galaxy S23 Ultra out of the water indoors. Anyway maybe they updated it february security updates. Have to recheck that again. The short and maybe not 100% so useful comparison with the Xperia 1 IV will come out later today.
Feature wise Samsung definitely not really better than the X90 Pro+. They are very, very equal. Thinking of the different portrait modes especially the zeiss ones Vivo is even ahead. Video stabilization is definitely better on the S23U, video quality apart from the stabilization I'm not sure, especially at night I think Vivo beatd Samsung due to the bigger sensors
Haha love the Mario outfit.. Bet thecarnivalnis fun.. Since the x90 pro plus is only a China specific model..
How do u rate the following for photo and video
7 Pro vs xiaomi 13 pro vs x90 pro
I think thr pro doesn't have the periscope n lesser processor other than that all is same in camera
That's why I keeps saying the bigger sensor is much much important than mp
Stop that nonsense Samsung!!
Give me 2 inches sensor camera but with only 24mp
X10 times better than 500mp camera with 1/1.3 sensor
I think the x90 optical lens better quality than S23 ultra, and somehow both camera had different software to understand colour, that's area are difference of individual preference.
Hi there! How does the 1 IV cope with temperatures in FEB2023? Did anything change throughout the last few months? I know that Sony did update it in order to mitigate overheating but I still read that people complain about that. How big of an issue that still is? I heard stories that people were getting overheating errors on the screen after a few automode pictures. Another two questions would be: Can the front camera record in 1080p/60fps (apart from 4k/30)? Also, does the Xperia have something similar to Samsung's "My safe" folder? I'm thinking of getting it for myself but I can't imagine using a phone for 2 years id it overheatsto a point that you can't take many photos one after another or record 1080/60 / 4k/30 for 10 minutes straight.
I don't have an overheating issue right now. I think they solved it last summer already. But it depends on temperatures it will show the overheating quicker than others when recording in direct sunlight. Third party apps however don't suffer from a limit here. Also using the Bluetooth grip you can disable the thermal limits.
@@lltechview I just learnt that Sony doesn't have their own album app and you're forced using google photos. That's sad. I remeber that many years ago their album app was the best out there.
@@Sylw3g You are not forced to use Google Photos but yeah their own app is gone now. You can use Simple Gallery from F-Droid
Where did you get this super mario outfit?
We have shops for Karnevals outfits here. I got it a few years ago already. So probably in one of those
Amazing comparison! Personally I hate the oversharpened look and it’s a shame that Samsung is still doing this and the iPhone started to do it as well. Vivo is looking better to me.
Samsung take the win easily.
Hi Leszek, may I ask you what was the final price you've paid for x90 pro plus, including taxes and customs, if these apply to your purchase?
I think it was around 1200€.
@@lltechview damn, i was hoping you were able to avoid taxes and give me advice :p that's a hefty price to pay. I've found website that sells them for around 860£, but I'm not sure do I want to gamble. If not for taxes, I'd have one already.
@@CaliGainz 1200€ is a bargain for the best phone out there. A Samsung S23 U is a few hundred more expensive though overall not the better phone S Pen excluded
@@flo_h_96 I wouldn't call spending €1200 a bargain, but yeah, it is better value for money than s23 ultra. I'm just looking for a way to buy it without laying those bloody taxes and customs, cause f*** them.
Is your jacket orange or red in real life?
Red
If vivo only had 4k on the front cam and portrait mode it would have been the best smart phone, this is the reason why I got the s23 ultra instead. Everything is just ultra, everything is upgraded.
Vivo has a video portrait mode for front camera! It has the same modes as for the rear camera
@@flo_h_96 vivo only has 1080p not on the front cam and the back cam has portrait mode 1080p too.
@@BLAKEEATS1988 yes portrait modes are obviously in 1080p on the front camera as it's the max resolution for the front camera, but it has the portrait modes. Video portrait mode with the rear camera although it is only 1080p still is the best looking one you can get in a phone right now. It just looks way more natural than the others because the transition from the face to the background doesn't look artificial at all, which it does on all the other phones
@@flo_h_96 I have an s23 ultra it has 4k portrait mode front and back, what I'm saying is that's what they are missing. 4k portrait mode.
Merci Mario pour cette super comparaison 😄
Curieux de voir un comparatif lorsque le Find X6 Pro sortira
If you take the photos in a zoom range between 3 and 10x into account the Vivo X90 Pro+ crushes the S23U. I mean at the optical zoom ranges the S23U already isn't better but the big range where the S23U needs to depend on digital zoom with a very poor sensor makes it lose the zoom clearly. I mean zoom up to 10x is what you need the most there it has to be good. And the darker it becomes the bigger the advantage of the X90 Pro+ gets as the the 64 mp sensor with 1/2" is way bigger than the S23U Zoom sensor. In general Samsung made very bad decision in this phone from my perspective. Also who needs a 200mp sensor which produces very flat pictures if you shoot in 50mp or 200mp and doesn't even have more details unless the lighting is perfect. And at night it's not only worse than the X90 Pro+ in picture quality but it needs way longer to capture a photo in night mode than the X90 Pro+ and it photos without night mode are pretty bad, whereas the X90 Pro+ does produce amazing photos even without night mode. The only thing Vivo needs to improve is stabilization in videos, there it can't keep up with the iPhone 14 Pro Max or the S23U. Stabilization on the S23U improved massively and now is even better than on the iPhone for the first time. Whitebalance off, oversaturated and oversharpened describes the photos of the S22U and as well of the S23U. The improvement from Samsung is very, very little on this aspects. I don't get it
Overall S23 ultra!
Vivo X100 pro vs S23 ultra !
Why Samsung S23 ultra does not use 1 inch sensor? Cost?
They don't have an inhouse one. Sony is the only one providing one for smartphones
@@lltechview If they can buy CPU/SOC from Qualcomm, they definitely can buy the 1 inch camera sensor from Sony too 🙂. It seems like a cost issue to me. I hope they are working on an in-house one inch sensor. I don't think software can overcome the limitations of hardware - completely.
Compare both cinematic modes and luts of x90 pro plus
Good idea.
Could you please test vivo against Sony zv1
Both are 1 inch
I would really like to do it but sadly do not have a ZV-1
Yaya for the costume 🤩
S23 Ultra❤
Zwischen 1 Zoll und 1/1.3 Zoll ist der Unterschied ja nicht mehr so groß. Die Blende ist ja minimal besser beim s23 U. Beim Video konnte man es nicht soo gut sehen, ist beim Bokeh noch ein merklicher Unterschied?
Doch da ist ein gewaltiger Unterschied, wenn man mal Objekte oder Menschen fotografiert, die nur 1-2m von einem entfernt stehen. Da macht die große Blende plus großer Sensor viel aus. Ich hätte es auch nicht gedacht, aber in einem weiteren Video werde ich mal etwas genauer drauf eingehen.
@@lltechview super, das würde mich freuen. Bei Fotos ist es ja immer so eine Sache, es ist nie ganz klar ob digital blur hinzugefügt wird. Bei Videos i.d.r. nicht. Da interessiert es mich aber am meisten :-)
@@pictainment Foros kann man es aber steuern. Ich hab jetzt einige Fotos für den Vergleich mit dem Xiaomi 12S Ultra geschossen wo es auffällt. Videos auch, wenn man genau hinschaut. Bei Fotos ist das einfacher zu erklären
@@lltechview ja, die Blende beim 12s ultra ist aber Recht schwach, da dürfte das 23 ultra mit der offenen Blende mehr natürliches Bokeh haben. Denn 1 zu 1 / 1.3 ist nur noch minimal der unterschried der Größe. Vllt 15%.
Aber das vivo hat ja auch so eine irre offene Blende. Geht mir im Grunde nur um bokeh / natürliches bokeh bei Videos :-)
Thank you for such a wonderful video. The Vivo X90 Pro Plus is a very capable device, but when it comes to maturity, I think the Samsung takes the lead. After all, I am not going to use my phone just to take photos. Samsung offers more software updates, better screen, longer battery life, bigger screen, top notch front facing camera, better ecosystem, available everywhere, the only phone on the market right now giving the possibility to use pro mode on the front camera, and the cherry on top I have the Spen (despite being a matter of preference) which is far from being a gimmick, at least for me. The 1.0" type camera is the only thing that Vivo has to offer and it only makes a noticable difference in low light photos and videos.
The screen of the X90 Pro+ and the S23U is exactly the same lol. Peak brightness is even a notch higher on the X90 Pro+ but not that anybody could notice. Ecosystem and update are definitely a plus for Samsung as well the S-Pen and although I hate the Samsung One UI and love Origin OS on the Vivo, having a software designed for the chinese market is a big downside, which can't be compensated by better usability. Other than that the X90 Pro+ is definitely the better phone. I mean which person Samsung decided to put a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with higher clockspeeds and a basic cooling in the S23U? Obviously somebody who has absolutely no knowledge about Smartphones. I knew thats the stupidest decision before the phone was even on the market and I was right. Only slighty higher peak performance compared to the other phones with the same chip but a stability of around 65% in wild life extreme stress test which takes only 20 minutes compared to 86% of the X90 Pro+. There is a reason why Vivo put a very big cooling in there to get that not perfect but very good stability on the not overclocked 8 Gen 2. Even Xiaomi is better with clearly over 70% stability, but that already gets clear frames drops after playing graphic intensive games for a while. Also still extremely low charging speeds and the fact Samsung doesn't include the 45W charger is a big downside compared to the X90 Pro+
@@flo_h_96 Overall though, the S23 Ultra is still a more complete smartphone
@@MrFas__ can you explain why?
@@flo_h_96 I know this is really specific, but if you look at every individual spec for the two phones and compare, in some areas the S23 Ultra gives you more. For example: bigger battery, longer software support, tri-band WiFi, selfie camera with 4k recording/autofocus/pro mode, a 1TB storage option etc...
These are some of the things I mean. Both phones are great, but I prefer the S23 Ultra overall.
Thank you.
Thumbs up Vivo
Samsung needs better ultrawide and better zoom sensors. The zoom sensors are just meh.
Agree. Main sensor and selfie cam is good but rest are meh
Nice job, good comparison.
What i can tell ypu is that the zoom on s21/22/23 gives way better results in good lighting, if you compare theem in a sunny day, the samsung has no competition, other than that, x90 is a hell of a phone.
Vivo X90 Pro+ vs Vivo X100 pro !
On my todo
Nice to hear!@@lltechview
S23 ultra vs xperia 1iv comparison need
I think its need xperia 1 V to compare to s23u
Hey are you reading my todo list? Thats on my list. Expect the video to come out later today :)
@@lltechview wow thank you, can't wait
S23 ultra ❤️ dream phone but can't afford it 😢
The S23 ultra over sharpens everything, samsung needs to tone it down!
Because s23u uses a weak small sensor i think, the main sensors is good but the other sensors just not good that why need a lot of sharpening
Indeed their tele zoom sensors are a bit smaller than the competition. I think for the 10x optical zoom they cannot use a bigger sensor as it would make it very hard to provide 10x zoom. Thats the reason why some manufacturers switched to a bigger sensor with lots of megapixel that only provides 3.5x optical zoom and uses crop in and algorithms to provide 10x hybrid zoom.
still, samsung is way ahead on vivo in literally everything lol but im really excited for the X100
Keep telling yourself that
will surely do
vivo needs to do someting about those colors they're so dead
pour moi c'est vivo qui reste le meilleur samsung c'est que du marketing avec leurs 200 mp pixel qui ne sert pas à grand-chose au final car ça capte pas plus et de detail,le 1 pouce de vivo capte plus de signal.
8:02 & 8:57 Very inaccurate colours on the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra! The Mario suit shouldn't be Orange 🟠 🤦🏾♂️🤣
It's supposed to be Red 🔴 like on the Vivo X90 PRO+
stills, video - Vivo, but the 10x zoom of the samsung is unbeatable, better front-facing cam as well
thank you for the comparison video!
That animal it's a damned donkey, dude. Unfortunately there is no traditional competition for Samsung and people are basically interested if apple is better than Samsung and vice versa at least in the western world.There is google and maybe Sony because I think if they still f up with their device this year we can light a candle for them like we did for HTC and LG.
samsung 23u is overrated. the 10x zoom is useless. for all the more useful focal length the vivo blows 23u out of water. btw, why does anyone care about 4k video on the front camera, unless they are narcissists or content provider. for most of us, i just don't see the point. it is gonna to be trash shooting video with a front camera, why difference does it make if it is 1080p trash or 4k trash?
make videos for CZcams by making pen designs on cloth indoors, some cloth with red and yellow in the video
The color of the cloth changes. My design videos are very clear and the color of the fabric must be correct. .
You can name some mid-budget mobiles that come with very clear video and color accuracy.
Vivo x90 pro plus camera better than Samsung s23 ultra💪💪💪
VIVO X90 PRO PLUS THE BEST❤
You need to consider 500$ price difference between these phones.
Nowadays of course
I really hope that the Vivo X series, which will launch in Q2 and Q4 2023, will have much better speakers, microphone, stabilization and HDR than the Vivo X90 Pro+! Also supports 4K60fps recording on the front camera with gyro-EIS
X90 wins slightly but S23 did good as well but with some future software updates to the S23 Camera should fix a few issues.
Oba sú super ! Samsung je trošku lepší v detajloch
The telephotos needs a lot of tuning as the sensor sizes are big enough but details are underwhelming. Vivo needs to tune the 3.5x video more with less contrast and sharpening. Also Vivo nightmode needs to allow more details for the cost of a bit of noise.
The details on the X90 Pro+ are better than on every phone out there and better than what big cameras give you unless you expose for ever. So I don't agree. Also who wants noise in the picture? But if you really want it simply go to Pro mode and set everything like you want it. The telephotos does have great details, but sometimes it struggles with the auto focus if you zoom closer on things, thats why details are lost in some pictures. Thats what they need to fix
If you want to have fun with the phone - which means to debloat the firmware, accept chinese letters visible in the system from time to time, and short update support from the producer, Vivo would be the best choice.
I am on xiaomi mi11 ultra. I am already tired of having fun with the phone to make it usable. S23 ultra is just simpler, more comfortable choice. It has longer update support and now, because of having snapdragon cpu in Europe it is definitely the best choice.
How come the mi 11 ultra is "not usable"?
I have Vivo x90 pro plus and it's incredible. Its software Is very good
@@maxel7723 I am more than sure that you are happy with your vivo. But do you think that 1000 euros mobile phone deserve to have only 2 years of software update support from the manufacturer? I would like to finaly keep one phone longer than 2 years, and seems that Samsung finaly is offering that by using the same cpu in all the market as well as 5 years of updates.
@@misiek735 I don't care about software updates because I won't keep it more than 2 years.
Vivo promised Android updates support for 4 years.
record better vivo x90 in 1080 than 23 ultra in 4k...in front camera...i hope samsung fix this joke in the future...because is ridiculous
Color design nothing to compare with Xperia, both lame! Better Vivo for using some api2 of IMX sensors for pixel design while copy crap of Crapsung is simply shame! Crapsung does most of the software gimmicks that simply fools everyone. Vivo wins this time!
Intelligent people choose S23 ultra❤
unfortunately for those of living in the us, using the x90 as a daily isnt an 'easy' task
why? it supports full GMS
It works perfectly anywhere except Android Auto .
