Hi everyone,
I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth upgrading from the Vivo X200 Ultra to the X300 Ultra. Right now I’m actually using a Xiaomi 17 Ultra, but I’m getting a bit tired of the Leica processing and want to switch back to Vivo for that Zeiss look.
The thing is, the X200 Ultra is about $400 cheaper, so I’m wondering if it really makes sense to pay extra for the X300 Ultra — especially from a camera perspective.
From what I understand:
The X200 Ultra has a faster aperture on both the main and telephoto cameras (around f/1.7 on the 35mm main and ~f/2.3 on the 85mm tele).
The X300 Ultra, on paper, is actually slower (around f/1.9 main and ~f/2.7 tele), which sounds like a downgrade.
However, the X300 Ultra uses a larger main sensor (~1/1.12") compared to the X200 Ultra (~1/1.28"), which should theoretically compensate for the smaller aperture and even improve light capture overall.
So my question is - in camera department, is the X300 Ultra actually better, or do they perform roughly the same.
Thanks!
