Hey, what's up? Sami here.
Today, we are going to compare the cameras
between the Xiaomi Mix Fold 3 and the Vivo X Fold 2.
Alright, as you can probably see from these photos, it seems like Xiaomi and Vivo have
adopted completely different color tones.
Vivo appears more bluish and saturated, while Xiaomi leans towards warmer and truer-to-life colors.
It's very difficult to decide which one wins for photos below 5x zoom.
If I had to choose, maybe Vivo has a slightly better dynamic range.
However, after 5x zoom, Xiaomi is significantly better with more details, a clearer look,
and less noise.
Now, let's take a look at the portrait photos.
Both look great, but they adopt different styles.
So, which one do you prefer: Leica or Zeiss?
Regarding macro photos, Xiaomi is consistently the weaker performer among the two.
Vivo, on the other hand, is really great.
You can move the lens closer to capture extremely close and detailed photos.
Moving on to night photos, it's worth noting that under Night mode, Vivo takes much longer,
which explains why it produces better night photos in some ways.
For ultrawide and main photos, Vivo has a better dynamic range, appears brighter yet
not overexposed, while Xiaomi tends to be a bit darker.
However, I've found that Xiaomi outperforms in almost every photo after 2x zoom.
Just check out the text!
Xiaomi is clear, showing every detail, while Vivo's photos tend to be out of focus.
Now, let's talk about videos.
I don't even need to say it, right?
The difference is obvious, especially when it comes to standard stabilization.
Vivo performs much better in terms of stability, whether in 4k or 1080p.
Xiaomi often exhibits a breathing effect, especially when I'm moving quickly.
The same holds true for night videos; Vivo generally looks better.
I've noticed that they have different levels of stabilization, so let's compare them.
Also, as you may have noticed, Vivo does an excellent job of suppressing wind noise,
resulting in better audio quality.
However, at times, it goes too far and nearly mutes all sound, as in this footage.
I'm pretty sure I didn't cover the microphone or anything; it just seems to be missing,
which is not ideal.
Personally, I don't place too much emphasis on a phone's microphone quality
since I would use an external microphone for video production.
Lastly, here's the selfie video, neither of them is exceptional,
but Xiaomi wins for better stabilization.
So, overall, I think they both belong to the top tier of foldable flagship phones.
It's hard to determine which is better;
it mainly depends on the style you want for your photos.
But if I had to choose, I would vote for Vivo due to its overall better performance,
including consistently reliable main photos,
more stable video performance,
and the additional fun features it offers compared to Xiaomi.
