If you want to compare the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL video with the Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max video... *the soundcore integration was filmed entirely on the iPhone outside of the talking head/studio shot...* Insane.

[ariesaries]

This comparison is sooo wild... Big thanks!

[Ionut.Manuel]

Vivo has no rival when it comes to camera's in 2024 lol the best image quality and night photography ever !

[petergplus]

Who'd have thought that Google using cheap small sensors would result in real world issues.

[CoryKayse]

Nice video man. If we had those other brands here in the US, it would force Samsung/Apple/Google to step their game up.

[segarrarios]

Will you be reviewing the Pixel buds pro 2? I'd love to see or "hear" how they compare to the original Pixel buds pro.

[bulolo_wilber]

Color accuracy should be the next big thing for flagship phones imo

[doublelu]

I glad you pointed out Pixel 9 for not using larger image sensor same as with Vivo and Xiaomi. I want Google Pixel to be so good and I knew it we can't rely on AI too much for everything especially camera parts

[DXHatakeKakashi]

ever since buying the x90 pro plus and the x100 ultra, I don't even bother buying google, apple or samsung phones

[Hasamhaider]

Can we have a comparison between oppo find x7 ultra Vs vivo x100 ultra pretty please like after updates because both phones got Thier latest updates recently

[bulolo_wilber]

Woah, Vivo, maybe better video next year and you're the king of cameras on a smartphone

[paperbeatsrock_]

I agree with your takeaway. We really need to demand better cameras from flagship manufacturers in the states, because we've gotten to a point where algorithms are egregiously overcompensating to produce an image that doesn't end up looking all that great in comparison to foreign phone cams.

[lendelos]

Great video! Sadly Vivo x100 ultra is not selling in my country. But maybe Vivo x200 will - and also I hear that it will be smaller form factor :)

[DigitalVanquish]

The Vivo definitely looked the best overall, but I was still impressed with the Pixel relatively keeping up. Not a fan of the Xiaomi, I have to say. Its style just isn't to my taste. The Pixel really needs an update for its video stability though, and not just rely on video boost as a crutch.

A lot of it will be the difference in sensor size, and I just don't know if Google, Apple, and Samsung will have such arrays on the back of their phones.

[brendonspencer]

Nice comparison, man. I didn't know the Vivo had it like that. I wish it were in a smaller form factor like the P9Pro!

[semajm]

Great review! Going against the grain and reviewing against flagships from other manufacturers.

The amount of effort you put into this video and the way you describe speaks to the everyday techie like me!

Kudos man!

[uahnbu]

Really hope this comparison would be widespread and big phone makers would game up their devices instead of just sprinkling some age-old AI technologies on top of them

[amerkhalil]

Thank you for your wonderful effort. Can you compare these devices and put the Oppo 7 Ultra and the Samsung S24 Ultra with them? If you could, this would be more than wonderful.

[mmmm-rbcq]

Nice video.

I am from Singapore and bought the Vivo X100 Pro when it was released globally in January. The camera is mind blowing. Apple and Samsung have grown fat and lazy the last few years. They have stopped innovating and many ppe in the US don't know any better and just get with whatever Apple and Samsung puts out every year.

I used to get the new Samsung Galaxy S phone every year when it is released and gave up a couple of years ago when they want to sell me a >$1k phone without providing me any charger (in the name of environmental friendliness). However, when you go to the shop, the sales person will ask if you want to get a new Samsung charger with the phone. Go figure! Basically just corporate greed.

You also need to talk about charging speeds. I can charge my Vivo phone from 0-100% in 30mins!
