Flagship Monster Duel: Boogeng’s Personal Experience!
Okay, get ready, because this time I want to take you to dissect two flagship monsters that are making waves in the gadget world: the Vivo X100 Pro and the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra! Honestly, I’ve held, used daily, and thoroughly tested both of these phones. It feels like choosing a life partner, seriously! Both are fierce in terms of camera and performance, but there’s a very different ‘feel’. So, which one do you think is more suitable for your lifestyle? Let’s reveal my experience using these two god-tier phones!
Display & Design: Aesthetic Curve vs. Functional Flat
The first time I held them, honestly, both made me ‘wow’. The Vivo X100 Pro has a 6.78-inch curved AMOLED screen, it’s truly immersive! When watching movies, playing games, or scrolling through social media, it feels like the content ‘spills’ onto the sides, the visuals are stunning with punchy colors. The build quality also feels premium in the hand, it fits perfectly in the grip. Now, the S24 Ultra, with its 6.8-inch flat Dynamic AMOLED 2X screen, feels more ‘spacious’ and ample for work. Especially accompanied by the S Pen, wow, for scribbling ideas, editing documents, or even just writing important notes anywhere, it’s very easy. I personally often use the S Pen to highlight important points when reading articles or sketching new application ideas. So, if you like the aesthetics of a smooth, curved screen and it’s comfortable for media consumption, the Vivo might be a good choice. But if functionality, productivity, and needing a wider ‘canvas’ are your top priorities, especially if you like to take notes and sketch, the Galaxy S24 Ultra is unbeatable!
Performance & Processor: Muscle Clash of Powerful Chipsets!
Moving on to the processor, this is what makes me really curious! The Vivo X100 Pro is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 9300. Seriously, this is a crazy chipset! Heavy multitasking, opening many applications at once, even playing games like Genshin Impact at the highest settings, all are handled without any lag. It’s very responsive when I open and close applications or switch between many browser tabs. It feels super smooth! Meanwhile, the S24 Ultra uses the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy, which is indeed specifically designed to push performance to the maximum limit, especially in gaming and AI processing. I really feel the difference when playing competitive games that require a stable frame rate every second, or when rendering videos using CapCut which consumes a lot of resources. The AI also feels more ‘intelligent’ when I use it for various features on this phone. Both are true performance monsters, but if you’re a true gamer or need super consistent performance for heavy work that requires high optimization, I feel that the Snapdragon in the S24 Ultra still has a slight edge, especially in some AAA games.
Camera: ZEISS Cinematic vs. Galaxy AI Multitalented
Okay, this is the prima donna that makes me confused about choosing! The camera! Vivo, with its ZEISS collaboration, has a very unique photo character. I feel that the results of the shots are more ‘cinematic’, the colors are natural but still punchy, and have a creamy bokeh. Especially when taking photos in low-light conditions, the details are still captured and the noise is very minimal. The telephoto is also extraordinarily clear, I often use it to photograph concerts from a considerable distance or zoom in on landscapes. There is a distinctive ZEISS ‘flare’ that makes the photos even more characterful. It feels like taking photos with a real professional camera.
Now, what about the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra? This is another story. Its versatility is what makes me shake my head. Its zoom can go up to 100x Space Zoom (although the most useful is at 10x optical), and what I like the most is the Galaxy AI feature. I often use ‘Generative Edit’ to move objects, remove unimportant things from photos, or even expand the background. The results sometimes surprise me, it’s so neat like a professional edit! For those who like to experiment, need a versatile camera phone with super far zoom, and really like editing photos with sophisticated AI, the S24 Ultra will be your faithful friend. In essence, if you’re looking for an artistic, natural, and cinematic photo ‘feel’, the Vivo is the champion. But if you really like advanced features, super far zoom, and edit photos with AI, the S24 Ultra is the best choice.
