What is up with Chinese brands picking on Apple’s smartphone these days? #vivo #x200ultra

The teaser for Vivo X200 Ultra promises big perks, although not in the ways we’d typically expect from high-end devices.
Over on Weibo, Vivo’s executive Han Boxiao (translated) uploaded a video comparison between the yet-to-release Vivo X200 Ultra and every other phone brand’s favourite punching bag, the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max.

It compares the video stabilisation prowess with the X200 Ultra, having much higher stability in a running scene. After all, there's no way Vivo would compare against Apple's best smartphone (yet) and lose publicly.
However, what Han Boxiao shared in the captions is much more interesting, as it promises many video perks coming to the Vivo X200 Ultra. We’ve translated and summarised it for you below (please pardon any errors):
- Vivo X200 Ultra will have “the strongest ultrawide in history”
- All three rear cameras have “full-focus OIS”
- The “full-focus” trait also applies to 4K120FPS videos and 4K 10-bit Log
“Full-focus” refers to the autofocusing in phone cameras, where every pixel on the image sensor can contribute to focusing. Traditional focusing typically limited autofocusing to designated areas on the sensor. The rest are pretty self-explanatory, with optical stabilisation (OIS) on every rear camera being the highlight for users who want simplified photography.
Our only question is whether the Vivo X200 Ultra will be available in Singapore. Vivo previously stopped selling its flagship-grade X-series handsets on our island, with the last model being the Vivo X80 Pro in 2022 (review here).
Since then, the X90 and X100 series sat out of our ring. It’s a real pity since the market here is quite partial to high-end phones. Vivo’s flagship-tier mobiles can easily compete against other available alternatives like the OPPO Find X8 Pro and Xiaomi 15 Ultra.
