A camera comparison has been made between the Vivo X300 Pro and the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max.
We took the same pictures with both phones. Does Vivo put the iPhone to shame?
Vivo has introduced its latest top-tier smartphone, the Vivo X300 Pro, designed with a focus on camera capabilities, seeking to compete with other leading devices. It features a 50 MP primary lens, a 50 MP ultra-wide lens, and a 200 MP zoom lens.
The device faces competition from Apple's iPhone 17 Pro, which includes upgraded camera hardware and software. Every rear camera has 48 MP sensors, plus a 40x zoom, new video features, and Photographic Styles that began with the 16 series.
Comparing the detailed camera settings of these phones offers numerous possibilities. This comparison focuses on default settings for an out-of-the-box camera assessment. The following are sample images from both phones.
