The BEST Smartphone Camera in 2021!

Hey guys what's up  we're

checking out another smartphone today

with a

very bold claim of being the world's

best smartphone camera we're constantly

on the hunt

trying to find a better camera in a

phone i know it's probably the most

piece used of hardware every time you

take a photo

you want to have the best image quality

and i know that's a very bold claim but

i think i may have found one of my

favorites so far to date this is the

vivo x60 pro and of course the x60 pro

plus and what makes this smartphone

camera so good and unique

is their partnership in collaboration

with zeiss which is one of the most

famous and respected

optics companies in the world zeiss

lenses for example i use them

on my sony all the time so i've got the

zeiss bodice here

this is my 18 mil and of course the

juicy 85 mil

1.8 and i would say 90 to 95 of all my

instagram photos because you guys ask

all the time what's that camera combo

that you're rocking

are taken with this specific lens and

i've been so happy with my 85

bodice the color reproduction the bokeh

the creaminess of it

is just something that i haven't really

found anywhere else and i have been so

so happy with these lenses so when i

found out the vivo was partnering with

zeiss i immediately had to test out

the capabilities of this smartphone

camera and i can say

from my initial testing it has taken

some of the best pictures

on a smartphone today and i know that

kind of depends on which model you end

up getting and of course the x60

pro plus has better features it's got

the dual main camera system

and the t-star coding that's renowned

from zeiss so if you look at any of my

zeiss lenses now you'll see that little

red sign

t-star and that's a special coating that

zeiss has developed to combat light

reflection to help reduce artifacting

you really notice that difference when

you're shooting into very bright

situations

so for this test i took my iphone 12 pro

max i know this is usually an industry

standard people rave around this camera

i took shots directly into the sun i

know that's the hardest condition to

shoot

you'll see here all of that lens flaring

over on the iphone whereas over on the

x60 pro plus

it pretty much reduced that to a bare

minimum we were still able to pull a lot

of detail in the shadows

and still get some pretty decent colors

even though we were shooting in probably

the toughest

shooting conditions typically most

people don't shoot directly into the sun

i also shot a lot of comparisons against

the oneplus 9 pro which is also doing a

collaboration with hasselblad

also a very iconic photography brand and

you can still see

the clear winner here is the vivo the

color reproduction is better i still got

a ton more detail

and something else that zeiss is also

adding is the biotar

portrait style so typically in a

portrait shot you have bokeh in the

background

this adds a bit of rotational bokeh to

the background

to give it a bit more of an artistic

effect and in the end i think that's a

bit more of a fun feature to have but

for your bokeh style or for your bokeh

amount you can actually control that

in post so it's a lot of computational

photography so really cool to see what

zeiss has done with this partnership and

even though i am a bit of a zeiss fanboy

i still think the

camera lived up to its name the second

major feature that i want to talk about

though camera wise is their second gen

camera gimbal system and they've really

improved it this year round by adding

5-axis tilt which is usually a feature

found in high-end mirrorless cameras

when the sensor actually shifts around

when you move the phone so that will

help reduce shakiness

but the biggest benefit that you'll get

is having that built-in gimbal so when i

test this playing tennis even though i

am pretty garbage i was trying to bust

my butt from one side of the court to

the other

i still got some pretty usable footage

but i think that's pretty impressive

for running at full tilt and last but

not least for any sort of camera where

they typically fall apart and become

super grainy and unusable

is night shots and i can once again say

that the vivo held its own and i'm

comparing it to the normal flagships of

course against the iphone

some against the oneplus and i think

that statement stands the best

smartphone camera and i'm not going to

comment on posting to say instagram any

social media that usually

hashes every photo the compression

algorithms are obviously terrible over

on android

by just pulling these on to say my

computer to look at the difference

vivo and zeiss i think you guys have

done something super special with this

and usually when a smartphone has a

standout feature like a standout camera

the rest of the smartphone kind of pales

in comparison

i can say that vivo has still kept the

performance or the standards up

for the rest of the phone so for example

the unboxing experience

very premium and depending on which

model you get so we've got the x60

that has more of the traditional glass

metallic finish whereas

on the x60 pro plus this is actually

made with vegan leather on the back so

it's a bit more premium

it's different every smartphone that we

see is made out of glass so just having

this in your hands

feels obviously different but sadly on

the flip side you do miss out with

wireless charging

around the front we've got a quad hd

display it's 6.56 inches with pretty

much no bezels and you've just got the

tiny hole punch cut out in the front

it's an adaptive display so it switches

between either 120 to 60 or you can

choose to select

either option to say save extra battery

life it's rocking the latest silicone on

the inside

so the snapdragon 888 with the adreno

660 gpu

it performs like a flagship it's on par

with any other

android flagship to date it is running

android 11 with fun touch

os a bit of a funny name but it is

pretty much like stock android and

honestly it reminds me a lot of the

oneplus

oxygen os skin my day-to-day with the

device has been great and something that

i can't say about

other asian smartphones it still

supports google mobile services

so i don't need a third-party workaround

to download my regular social media apps

i don't need to install weird apks

it works out of the box it works well

like a flagship and i think that's what

vivo's trying to get across

but yeah that kind of wraps up my review

of the x60 models

depending on which region you're in i

think the x60 will be more available

if you can though try to get your hands

on the x60 pro plus it's got the t-star

coding

it's got the extra camera sensor and of

course that title of the best camera

smartphone

that i've used to date so hope you guys

enjoy this and remember i'm giving away

one of the devices
