Key Takeaways

1. Vivo’s X200 Ultra focuses on advanced camera features, particularly in videography.
2. The iPhone 16 Pro Max is recognized for its strong videography capabilities.
3. The X200 Ultra is said to offer superior image stabilisation compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max.
4. The X200 Ultra includes optical image stabilisation (OIS) in its ultra-wide-angle camera, a feature missing in the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Vivo’s Han Bo Xiao has revealed more details about the upcoming flagship smartphone focused on camera features. Just a few days ago, the same executive compared the X200 Ultra with a DSLR and the iPhone 16 Pro Max (currently priced at $1,021 for refurbished models on Amazon) in low-light settings.

Videography Comparison

In this latest discussion, Han Bo Xiao has shifted the focus to videography. The DSLR is no longer part of the comparison, but the iPhone 16 Pro Max is still included. Videography is known to be one of the iPhone’s major advantages, especially when compared to newer Android devices.

Impressive Stabilisation

However, according to the video shared below, the X200 Ultra might excel in at least one aspect. Han Bo Xiao mentions that the comparison video was recorded using the ultra-wide-angle cameras of both devices. While this setup may not represent typical video recording methods, it seems that the X200 Ultra provides better image stabilisation than the equivalent camera on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Optical Stabilisation Advantage

Han Bo Xiao believes that this improvement could be due to the fact that Vivo has integrated optical image stabilisation (OIS) in the ultra-wide-angle camera of the X200 Ultra, something that the iPhone 16 Pro Max lacks. As it stands, the X200 Ultra is set to be the first smartphone featuring OIS across all of its rear cameras. Moreover, all three rear cameras will support 10-bit log format while recording in 4K at up to 120 FPS. Vivo is anticipated to unveil the X200 Ultra next month, following Oppo’s announcement of the Find X8 Ultra.
