what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we're checking
out one of the latest phones from vivo the one that i have here today it's called the v25 pro
now i've also included a camera comparison between this phone and my iphone 13 and if you
are here hearing you just want to see that camera comparison well that starts at this minute of
this video but before we get to that i also want to talk about the phone for a bit starting with a
bit of an unboxing well in the box you're going to find the case for the device of course we have the
user manual we have a usbc to a 3.5 mil audio jack adapter we have some wired up earbuds and then we
have a 66 watt fast charger so if you're using the charger that comes in the box you can charge this
device from 0 to 100 in about 50 minutes so pretty fast charging and inside the device we also have
a 4830 milliamp hour battery now on one charge depending how you use the device you can get
up to 10 hours of scrum time maybe even a bit more if you're just watching videos just to
give you an example but of course if you're just playing games on the phone you're definitely not
going to get those some 10 hours of screen on time the phone is powered by the mediatek dimensi 1300
that's paired with 12 gigs of ram and 256 gigs of internal storage you can also get this phone with
less ram and less internal storage and of course the price will be lower my device gets an antutu
benchmark score of just over 700 000 and even though the score may not be as high as a flagship
you already know that when you get a score this high the device will perform good for pretty much
anything so it doesn't matter if you're playing games on it if you're just scrolling up and down
on facebook or on chrome the device is super super quick for pretty much anything that
you're gonna do on it the device runs fantast os 12 which is based on android 12 of course
and even though the os is pretty smooth and fast for pretty much everything that you're gonna do so
scrolling between apps moving in between apps switching in between apps closing apps and so on
there are a lot of applications that come pre-installed that you're gonna have to
uninstall so a lot of games a lot of apps that you're never gonna use on top of that it does
give you notifications every so often telling you to install more apps or try new features and
so on so it will take you a couple of hours to uninstall everything and get the device
just as you want it so that is the downside for fun touch osm 12 in my opinion
the phone looks and feels pretty good as well i'm gonna say you do get that premium feel whenever
you're holding it in your hand so it doesn't feel like a cheap phone the frame around the
device here is made out of metal the back here could be made out of plastic maybe this is glass
i can't really tell without scratching it or i'm breaking it and the back also changes the color
when exposed to uv light so basically sunlight so if you hold your hand over it and it's exposed to
sunshine it will change color of course it will go back to the normal color once out of that uv
light but you can get some cool designs on the back there's something that i haven't actually
seen with any other device up until now on the front of the device we have a 6.56 inches amoled
screen the refresh rate of 120 hertz and very important the maximum brightness for this screen
is 1300 nits so you can definitely see the phone in direct sunlight so the screen gets just as
bright as a flagship actually brighter than some flagships on outer so very good looking screen i'm
gonna say and we also have curved edges around the screen now personally i would have loved to see
this phone with a flat screen but i guess they use these curved edges to have a more premium looking
design but personally i would have loved to have a flat screen we also have an in-screen fingerprint
scanner this one works pretty good it takes about half a second from the time you actually touch the
screen for the phone to unlock and if you don't use the in-screen fingerprint scanner there is
always the face unlocking feature that's available but keep in mind that whenever you're using the
face unlocking that's done through that front facing camera that's a 32 megapixel sensor
so the face unlocking is not as secure as the fingerprint scanner or a passcode so keep that
in mind the phone can also take two sim cards at the same time but keep in mind that it cannot take
an sd card and one thing i've noticed is the fact that we only have one speaker so the speaker is
positioned at the bottom here and with a lot of other cheaper phones that i've tried we get
two speakers one on the top one at the bottom well this device gets only one speaker so it's
kind of hoping for two since this is the pro version of this device i also have the regular
version of this device which is the v25 so to quickly conclude this mini review just before we
start that camera comparison the phone looks and feels pretty good so it doesn't feel like a cheap
phone by any means i absolutely love the screen on it at this price range this is probably one of the
best screens that i've seen i love the fact that i can actually see the screen in direct sunlight we
also get pretty decent battery life fast charging on it the fingerprint scanner works something good
but i'm not a fan of that fun touch os it just comes pre-installed so many applications so many
pop-ups constantly so many ads so i'm not a fan of the operating system on it but everything else
it is um quite good on it and that being said let's start with our camera comparison um so
on the back here we have the main camera that has optical image stabilization then we have an ultra
wide camera and another camera that's used for macro pictures and i guess we're going to start
by checking out some portrait mode pictures that i took with this device and of course my iphone 13.
alright so looking at those portrait mode pictures well a couple of them are better from the iphone
13 and a couple of them are better from the v25 pro i did notice that the v25 pro also does a bit
of skin smoothing so i'm not a fan of that skin smoothing but overall i can't really say that one
does better than the other one for portrait mode pictures so definitely leave a comment down below
and let me know on your thoughts next we're gonna move on and check out some zoom pictures four zoom
pictures i've done five times zoom and um even though neither device has a telephoto lens the
v25 pro does better in every single picture like much much better than the iphone 13.
so if you're gonna choose a phone to do any type of zoom pictures the v25 pro will do better moving
on to some pictures that i took the ultrawide cameras on the back of the two devices well the
first thing i've noticed here is the fact that the iphone 13 has the somewhat wider field of view so
you can see a bit more in those pictures taken by the iphone 13. now for colors in certain pictures
the iphone 13 has more saturated colors in some pictures the v25 pro has more saturated colors
so i think it depends on the location we are actually taking those pictures
for sharpness they seem to be fairly similar but i did notice in a couple of pictures the dynamic
range is better in those pictures taken by the iphone 13 but overall i can't really say that
one does better than the other one for those some pictures taking the ultra white cameras
but once again leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts as for the pictures taking
the main cameras of course all the pictures were taken on auto mode and maybe a second apart from
each other well here i've noticed that the v25 pro is using a bit more saturated color so you could
say those pictures are more instagram ready but i feel that most people will actually prefer the
pictures from the v25 pro i've also noticed that the dynamic range in most pictures is better from
the v25 pro so for the main camera i almost feel like the v25 pro does better than the iphone 13.
but once again leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts and i'll let you guys
watch a few more pictures some just before we move on to those nighttime pictures that i took
all right and next we're gonna move on and check out some nighttime pictures that i took with both
devices of course some all the pictures that you are about to see were taken using the night modes
available and on both devices the night mode is available for the main camera and for the
ultra white camera and we are starting with the pictures they took with the main cameras
now some of the pictures taken by the v25 pro do seem a bit brighter than the pictures
that i took with the iphone 13 however it seems that most pictures that i took of the iphone 13
are a bit sharper there isn't that big of a difference but definitely a bit sharper
so i'm gonna say that even though we do get somewhat brighter pictures from the v25 pro
the iphone 13 has the edge for the pictures taking with the main camera and of course that
night mode what do you guys think do you like the pictures from the v25 pro or the pictures taken by
the iphone 13 i'm using the night mode definitely leave a comment down below and let me know on your
thoughts next we're gonna move on to pictures that i took with the ultra white cameras and of course
the night mode well here even though the iphone 13 was never known as a phone that does good to that
ultrawide camera in the night mode it seems that every single picture that i took with it is better
than the picture that i took with the v25 pro so the pictures are sharper they are a bit brighter
and overall better um picture quality from the iphone 13. so for nighttime pictures i feel that
overall the iphone 13 has the edge over the v25 pro but we also have to keep in mind the prices
of these devices the iphone 13 is double the price of the v25 pro next we are going to move on and
check out some sample video recordings that i've done with both devices both devices can record in
4k at 60 frames per second with the main cameras on the back now with iphone 13 you can do 4k at 60
frames per second with all cameras on the v25 pro you can only do 4k at 60 with the main camera not
to mention that at that resolution you don't get um ima stabilization so you probably want to do
4k at 30 frames per second with that main camera i've also noticed that you cannot record videos on
the ultrawide camera on the v25 pro but personally i'd rather have one better camera than
have one other camera that doesn't do much for video quality so i'm gonna let you guys watch
those sample recordings and once again leave a comment down below and let me know your thoughts
about those recordings all right we have a quick recording between the iphone 13 and the vivo v25
pro so for this recording i'm using the main cameras on the back of the two devices and
recording in 4k at 30 frames per second at this resolution both devices have image stabilization
now of course the iphone 13 you could also record in 4k at 60 frames per second and you'd still get
ime stabilization well that's not the case for um the v25 pro so we're going to walk this way
so kind of towards the castle there i'm also trying to hold the phones as steady as possible
i'm gonna stop here we're gonna pan left slowly
and back right i'll start walking towards my bicycle now interesting to note that if you're
planning to record the ultrawide camera on the v25 pro well video recordings don't seem to be
available for that ultra wide camera so you're always going to have to record the main camera and
as i said you can do 4k at 30 or 4k at 60 frames per second so this whole recording would look like
you're using the main cameras and recording in 4k 30 frames per second with these two devices
and of course i also wanted to show you how the front facing cameras on these two devices
can record so of course if you're using the iphone 13 the maximum recording resolution
for this device is 4k at 60 frames per second where the maximum recording resolution for the
pro is 1080p at 60 frames per second so you're not going to be able to record in 4k um with that
front facing camera so yeah this whole recording would look like if you are using the front-facing
cameras on these two devices it is a super sunny day there is a bit of wind but you shouldn't hear
that all right we have a quick video test in low light between the iphone 13 and the vivo v25 pro
for this recording i'm using the main cameras on the back of the two devices and recording in 4k at
30 frames per second now of course we do have some street lights um around us so it's not totally
totally dark also my bicycle here so we'll just walk past it i guess i'm gonna pan left this is
a bit darker to the left here so here i can kind of see some stuff um on the screen of the iphone
i can't really see that much on the screen of the vivo but we'll have to see how this footage looks
um on the computer so yeah this whole recording at night would look like between these two devices
with the main cameras and of course 4k at 30 frames per second so of course just as
i expected the iphone 13 does better for video recordings than the v25 pro but that is kind of
the case between the iphone 13 and all the other phones available on the market at least in my
opinion next we're going to move on and check out some selfies well for daytime selfies i
kind of prefer the pictures that i took with the iphone 13 they do have better colors in my opinion
but for nighttime selfies i kind of prefer the selfies from the v25 pro even though there is
a lot of skin smoothing in there so i kind of look younger but the pictures from the iphone 13
they kind of look blurry so i think i would choose the ones from the v25 pro so there you have it um
what do you guys think about the v25 pro and the cameras on it is it good enough for the
price should have been better what do you think compared to the iphone 13 definitely leave a
comment and let me know your thoughts thanks for watching and i'll see you guys in the next one
