Samsung is finding it increasingly difficult to keep up with the cameras of its Chinese competitors, even if the hardware is weaker on paper. This is evident from a recent comparison of some photos with the Vivo X300 base model, which is not only much more compact than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but also significantly cheaper.

    Interesting bit:

    Samsung fans are already protesting in the comments and some are certain that the photos were manipulated. Ice Universe is actually one of the more controversial tech observers, having also made several critical comments about Samsung in the past, but we don’t want to accuse him of deliberate manipulation. Incidentally, the Vivo X300 series will officially launch in Europe in just a few days, as has now been confirmed.

      I have to say if those images are real that’s very impressive by Vivo.
      But I wouldn´t discard the S25 quite yet, it may win in low light situations and in image stabilization.
      Samsung S25 has very good all round camera’s, most similar priced phones that beat it in one area, tend to lose in others.
