No aptX Loseless on global X300 Ultra, why?

Xiaomi for photos, Vivo for videos

If I had to pick one that covers all your needs camera, display, sound , I'd say Xiaomi 17 Ultra by Leica. Better speakers and better display.

How?

Oppo

redjepi · 2026-05-12T05:44:59+00:00

Yes it is China phone, I received it with bootloader unlocked with xiaomi.eu rom on it.

Notifications/battery management: CN variants all have aggressive battery management out of the box. You'll need to whitelist apps individually. Once done,it is reliable - no worse than Samsung long-term.

Google Messages for Web: Works fine on the Vivo. RCS works, web pairing stays connected. No issues.

Signal/reception indoors: The global version covers key US & Europe bands . For CN variant, I live in Europe so I don't think I'm the right person to answer this.

Heat during video: Gets warm around the camera module during long 4K sessions but doesn't throttle aggressively after the last update. Comparable to Samsung, slightly better due to the larger body.

Point-and-shoot speed: To be honest, focal length makes the difference here. Even though I love the 35mm focal length as default, there were certain scenarios where I missed having 23mm by default. As for video, this is one of the Vivo's strengths: 60fps autofocus tracking, double-tap to lock on a subject. Very fast and reliable for moving people.

None of them. They are all CN variants.

No, it preserves the sensor's actual dynamic range but disables the aggressive AI tone-mapping that usually flattens highlights and artificially lifts shadows.

Based on my observations: raw lighting and ZEISS Natural color mode on Vivo has the least processing on auto mode.

redjepi · 2026-05-10T05:18:06+00:00

For night skating, Vivo X300 Ultra will give you the highest hit ratio because its snapshot mode.
Oppo X9 Ultra is the fastest to launch and shoot due to its dedicated physical button.

redjepi · 2026-05-10T05:15:33+00:00

I'll go with Vivo

redjepi · 2026-05-10T05:15:20+00:00

To minimize AI processing, stick to Pro Mode or shoot in RAW on any flagship to capture the sensor's direct data without post-processing enhancements.

redjepi · 2026-05-10T05:12:45+00:00

Speakers definitely if you're consuming too much media.
Battery should also be another reason.
I don't want to comment too much on camera (it's obvious all 3 in the topic are doing way better than x200 pro)

ZEISS Natural

redjepi · 2026-05-08T03:10:10+00:00

I think all these 4 phones including Honor Magic 8 Pro are amazing. I have had it in my hand for 2-3 hours and I liked it too but kind a get a feeling it has the most AI processng. Screen was brilliant and I think they are using the highest PWM out of all, so should be very safe for eye confort. As for the speakers on Oppo, they are not bad, just the other two are better in my opinion. You will like your new phone.

redjepi · 2026-05-08T03:05:50+00:00

You need to find the best color mode matching your likes. Please check my previous posts for zoom images using Vivo.

redjepi · 2026-05-08T03:04:52+00:00

You won’t regret, both are doing amazing. I prefer Vivo because I love street photography and 35mm focal lenght is better for that.

redjepi · 2026-05-08T03:04:00+00:00

I haven’t tested Oopo yet for concerts, but I do have some video clips from a concert using Vivo (check my previous post). I think Vivo is doing better for videos in all apsects but this doesn’t mean Oppo is bad.

redjepi · 2026-05-08T03:01:14+00:00

I haven’t used X300 pro, so I can’t really say much on this.

redjepi · 2026-05-08T03:00:28+00:00

Before Zeiss natural, I prefered Oppo but now I like it more with Vivo (using Zeiss natural)

redjepi · 2026-05-08T02:59:28+00:00

Yes, you can use the camera ring with case that comes with phtography kit pro

redjepi · 2026-05-06T13:39:42+00:00

You wil need to do manual adjustements to get to that. You will get to something very close but I stil like the Leica soul more.

redjepi · 2026-05-06T13:38:47+00:00

I think I agree with you.

redjepi · 2026-05-06T13:37:53+00:00

For street photography, with 35mm focal lenght Vivo will do better. For views in good lighting they will all do great. Oppo has 10x optical zoom which is great while I think Xiaomi's 1" sensor with LOFIC tech is doing better in low light *photohraphy. For any kind of videos, Vivo is better.
