      BrayGray, you will get less bokeh with the main sensor but other than that it should be tuned nicely. If you like the Leica color tuning that you saw in this video I suspect that you would see the same. Btw, a lot of the shots here are from the much smaller sensors on the 13 Ultra and they hold up well.

    • @BarryJohnson
      @BarryJohnson  Před 7 měsíci +2

      This one comes down to preference. The Xiaomi is phenomenal and Xiaomi does a great job of taking photos that have reduced sharpness and colors that wow most people. It's great for street photography and people that don't want to edit. vivo, rarely ever misses with HDR. They nail their processing and their SuperRaw is second only to the iPhones SuperRaw. I do think 5X is a more useful sensor than a 10X but Samsung fanboys and CZcamsrs raved so much about the S23 Ultra 30X companies got temporarily distracted from the key focal lengths. So the 5X is more useful in my opinion on the 13X. If you are going for a Chinese edition you could wait a few weeks for the vivo X100 Pro Plus if what I described leaned you towards vivo.

    @ENiNjAnime Před 9 měsíci +2

    Yes indeed, this phone performs excellent but I have a big problem with the cameras! Had to sell it because the cameras obviously aren't tested on or made for brown skinned people because video sadly gives brown skin a bright orange hue no matter what settings you try. You can make it better in the pro mode using filters but that's only 1080p. Also the picture's contrast is unnaturally high, but some ppl may prefer that look.
    Will you try the Sony Xperia 1 V? Man, I'm really impressed with that device. The colors are amazing and pretty much uncomparably accurate (especially in HDR modes) for a phone.
