Vivo X300 Series & Oppo Find X9 Pro End Camera Monopoly: Apple & Samsung Dethroned

For years, Apple and Samsung have ruled the smartphone camera world. Their iPhones and Galaxy flagships set the standard. Now, Vivo and Oppo are changing the game. Their latest flagships, the Vivo X300 series and Oppo Find X9 Pro, are proving that great cameras aren’t just for Apple and Samsung anymore.

The Camera Revolution

Vivo’s X300 series features a 200MP ZEISS-tuned periscope telephoto camera. This lens delivers stunning detail and clarity, especially at longer zoom levels. In side-by-side tests, the X300 Pro’s zoom and detail often beat the iPhone 17 Pro, particularly in daylight and low light. The portrait mode is also a standout, with better edge detection and more vibrant colors than the iPhone. The X300 Pro’s 50MP ultrawide and main sensors capture more detail, making it a top choice for photography enthusiasts.​​

Oppo’s Find X9 Pro is equipped with a 200MP Hasselblad telephoto camera, designed for both zoom and macro photography. In direct comparisons, the Find X9 Pro’s telephoto lens outperforms the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, offering sharper and more detailed images, especially at 3x and 5x zoom. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra features a 50MP ultrawide and improved image-processing algorithms, but the Find X9 Pro’s 200MP telephoto lens captures more detail and dynamic range, making it a better option for zoom and macro shots.​

Breaking the Monopoly

The old belief that only Apple and Samsung have the best cameras is now outdated. Vivo and Oppo have proven their imaging tech is not just competitive, but often superior. Their innovations are making flagship photography accessible and affordable. Real users and reviewers confirm that these phones are beating Apple and Samsung in real-world shots.
